OFFICIAL Golf across the pond thread

Scottish Open this week with nothing in the US and the Open Championship the following week.

How LIV started

The tours suck and we're glad to get paid and not have to play all those tournaments and this is the future of golf!!!

How its going for LIV players

We're suing the tour to let us play

I’ll take Hideki. Good chipper, great distance control.

Spieth is officially on notice this week. Should be a perfect course for him, but it won’t be.

I'll take Morikawa again

Rory is my second choice

Agree on Spieth. This is set for him

Maybe throw 10k at Tiger @80 to 1

I’ll take the over on the winning score. Hearing it’s quite fiery out there and balls just aren’t stopping on the fairways. Lots of hidden trouble in those fairways. Will be a birdie fest with more than the normal amount of doubles thrown in.

RaceBannon

Faldo shot 270 in 1990

Tiger shot 269 in 2000

The fairways are like greens this year. Length is meaningless

Short game is everything

He's right you know

Rory 6 under

Tiger 2 over thru 2

Rory usually has the Friday/Saturday lull and then rallies on the back nine on Sunday to never actually be in contention but bank that top five.

RaceBannon

In 1953 Ben Hogan entered 5 tournaments and won three - The Masters, The US Open and the Open Championship. Few years after getting hit by a bus

Tiger is 6 over thru 7. So far the Hogan approach isn't working for him.

The Catalay love on the odds is beyond weird to me. He actually kind of stinks. Reigning FedEx cup winner and PGA tour player of the year I guess. People forget that one of his wins was Rahm’s Covid memorial, and with those Memorial points and exact stroke finish at Tour Championship, Rahm would have won the FedEx cup and PGA Tour player of the year.

RaceBannon

Bryson and Durwood Johnson repping the LIV at 3 under

I don't actively dislike many players including those two but Cameron Smith is one I root against

No real reason.

Bob_C

I’ve always loved Louis, mostly just because of his swing. Sad that he went LIV, but we never saw him until the majors anyways. Love Hideki’s swing too, hoping he doesn’t go, rumors of like $400m being offered to him.

Two guys that have tempo to burn, which is kind of the opposite of my swing.

RaceBannon

Hopefully Rory shows up again and we get Rory v DJ over the weekend

The @Bob_C effect as Cantlay goes up the leader board

Bob_C

I shot Cantalay up, you shot Cam Smith up.

Bob_C

Shooting 70 today was a slight choke job. Just saying.

RaceBannon

68 to tie 67 to win. Not impossible at all when guys are carving it up.

Bob_C

He thought he was playing match play with Hovland for far too long. Props to Cam for taking it, but Rory really fucked up 10, 12 and 14 with pars.
