The Open

Watson leading with a flawless 65 (5 under).
some roung by him.
His stats were great.

Driving 299
12/14 FIR
15 GIR
28 putts.
Some going.

Played Turnberry for 3 days last year. It’s a smashing spot, but if it stays calm someone will do better than 65.
Greg Norman was in Doonbeg this week. Had a very bad start today though.
Woods lost it on the 3rd tee. Funny.

Yours etc,
GSH.

Tiger gone. Links course dosent suit his game. Tom Watson at 33/1 despite being in the lead after 2 rounds. Surely worth an each way punt.

Fisher at 12s on Betfair. I like his chances.

I’m fully on the side of the anti-Peter Alllis merchants at this stage. They showed a close up of Ishikawas ball on the tee with RYO printed on it.

Allis whispers in his stupid hush hush voice: Well I know what BYO means but what on earth does K.Y.O. mean?

Mark James: Its his name.

I was going to mention Fisher too. He came close at the US Open and had a solid Masters (if I recall correctly). I expect the leaders to come back and would also give the likes of Cabrera and Goosen a chance.

I’d add Cink into the mix too

Just watched the final round of the US Open sequnce of sceces from Tin Cup there.

The storyline is ludicrous, as Maude Lebowski would say, and, like most sports movies, there are so many points on which the movie can be dismissed with utter disdain; the tight fringe and water feature on the 18th of what’s supposed to be a US Open course, the appearance and disappearance of McEvoy’s no-mark sponsorships, and the laughably pathetic swings of messrs Costner and Johnson amongst them.

The cameo appearences however, from Craig Stadler, Corey Pavin, Peter Jacobsen, Gary McCourt, Freddie Couples and Jim Nantz make the whole thing somewhat endearing all the same.

4.20am - nice work Souldressing.

Cink and Watson -2
Westwood -1

Cink in clubhouse
Westwood and Watson on the 17th

Westwood misses a put for eagle on the 17th by centimetres. Birdies it to level it at -2.

Watson should at least par the hole.

I don’t know much about golf or care much for it but i’m going to switch over to watch the finale of this. Some lad was telling me the other day that despite Watson leading after day one he was still available at something like 50/1 to win it out, due to him being a supposed has-been old fart. He’s 2/7 now to win it out. Go on you old fart. :mad:

Watson looks like birdieing the 17th now to go one clear of Westwood (in bunker on 18th) and Cink.

Looks like a par would be enough.

After Watson potted that last effort from about 12 inches the commentator went:

“Thomas, Thomas, Thomas… Oh Thomas, Thomas”… WTF? :confused:

Will Tom make it into the TFK Legends Group if he wins it out now?

That’s Peter Allis.

A bit of a gobshite.

Potted?

Peter Alliss needs to be retired by BBC. He’s a real annoying cunt at this stage.

Westwood went for a massive putt there on the 18th but pushes it to far. Will do well to hold par the hole now.

Unless Watson makes a major fuck up (pun intended) then it’s his.

Shocking to think that outside of Harrington’s three majors, no European has won any since Paul Lawrie in 1999.

Watson made an absolute bags of that shot. This looks set for a tie-breaker.

Worst looking major winning wife in some time

Ten footer for Watson to win it.

This takes nerve.
