The 141st Open Golf Championship

Rory Mcilroy just poleaxed a spectator who was standing out of bounds - well lying out of bounds with an ice bag on his cranium. He was rewarded with an autographed glove - with his income he could at least have given the guy the pair :banana:


How is it for you,sweetie ???

There is excessive use of the super-slow-motion camera but I guess if you've paid the hire fee you have to get the use out of it.

Ken Brown just promised us live pheasant action it doesn't get any better than this

loving the golf too, Rod

The last two days have been more watchable as the sunshine and now the wind have added some atmosphere along with a bussed-in North Korean rent-a-crowd in fancy dress.

Leaders just about to tee-off.....

My eyeballs are stretched keeping with the Tour de France, the test match and the golf.

Tiger Woods commits an act of gross misjudgement and demonstrates his lack of trigonometry by attempting to hit an unplayable ball forwards out of a bunker - twice.
Plonka.

Hard luck, Rodin.

Despite the primary obsession here being all about putting balls and other objects in tight holes, no-one is interested in the golf.

Still, quite a turn-up in the end, wasn't it? Well done Ernie.

[flabbybody]

yea. my South African buddies are pretty excited right about now.
I'm happy for EE

[rodinuk]

It wasn't exactly a sparkling tournament but ep happy to see old Ernie win it, Scott did a Mcilroy I think the Ozzie commentator left the box to give him a kangaroo punch :D

tiger woods 10/1 ew won me some money...but have to say it was a catastrophic collapse by the aussie scott.

We Yanks don't watch too much golf on the tube but I have to say I appreciate the crowd at the British. Very classy and professional. none of the "you da man" and "in da hole" bullshit you hear around the tee box at the other pro events.
well done sirs

Yep. I'll certainly never forget the disgraceful behaviour of the US players and spectators at the 1999 Ryder Cup when they invaded the 17th green before Olazabal could play the putt that could have halved the match. And nobody ever apologised. Pillocks.
