Figured this deserves its own thread. Who do you like? Poll options are in order of odds from the link below. I'm taking Rory at home.
I picked Tiger to win The Open before the season, I guess I’ll stick with it. But not playing at all is not getting my hopes up.
I’ll take Rose as always but feel some little known name will win
I voted Rahm. Not because I think he actually will win, but more so because I think he has a really good chance.
I am going with Koepka. He is the safest bet at this point.
I'll pick Molinari to be different.
I too am going with Rory, at 'home', for the W
I'll go with Rory.
Rory is definitely going to be the hot pick this week.
I may go with Rahm from top tier; tough to decide on this one.
Rory with a snowman on #1; Duval with a 13 on #7.
Rory having a rough day so far. Tiger's round started a bit ago. Rain really starting to come down now.
Tiger finds a bunker on the first hole, but recovers and makes a nice par to start the round.
Rory probably out. Tiger probably needs to get to +4 for any real shot tomorrow.
Duval’s card ends with a 14 (adjusted from 13), an 8, and a 7. Smooth 48 on the front side. Rory, Scott, and Tiger cooked.
My tiered team of Rose, Fleetwood, Oosty, Lowry, Hatton, Oleson finished -12 (best 4 scores); two off the pool lead.
Rory’s last hole 😳
3 putted from 5 feet
Scores are low but so many putts are being missed. Steady rains coming for players just teeing off
Cut currently sitting at +1. Rory needs to put together a round for the ages after yesterday.
Shane Lowry having himself a round so far. Six birdies through 11 holes. Sits atop the leaderboard at -10.
Rory making it interesting today, but I don't know if he's got enough holes. Needs to play the final 3 holes at -2. The bogey on 13 was a killer.
posted by justincredibleCut currently sitting at +1. Rory needs to put together a round for the ages after yesterday.
He's making an effort, at least. Up to +3 with four more holes to go.
On the other side of things, David Duval. After that comical fuck-up of a +8 hole yesterday, he's improved from hilariously bad (+20 yesterday) to merely being shitty (+8 through 16 holes today). That totals +28. Next-to-last place is +14. They need to start revoking exemptions if a dude sucks that badly, making up a provision that says "No one wants to see you looking like a drunk first-timer, dude. NO. ONE." And take him out back and shoot him just to put him out of his misery.
Rory with a nice tee shot on 16. HUGE birdie opportunity.
Rickie's mullet/mustache combo is fantastic.
Sinks it like a boss. That bogey REALLY hurts now, but man is this exciting.
Terrible tee shot on 17.
I'm gonna Drarby myself on this thread.
Rory recovers nicely, with a bit of luck, to give himself another birdie opportunity on 17.
