Needs to capitalize. Fowler comes to mind right away, but so many have been close like this and people assume it’ll happen and then never does.

rickie won tournaments, just not the majors. Will is still chasing that first win at some point that pressure will break anyone. but damn i love watching that guy and hope he breaks through. 

He needs to figure out a consistent putting stroke.

he putted well this week but yeah he's all over the place with that. 

Putting didn’t cost him….took a 2 shot lead then was struggle bus next two holes.

agreed but if he was consistent there he'd close one of these out. i mean he double clutched a 4" putt sunday. that might not be the "putting stroke" per se, but god damn it hast to be mental.

The PGA is going to HAVE to allow LIV players to play on their tour. Maybe some sort of requirements on how many events they have to play would be a good solution/compromise. But, there is not going to be a tour if it is without all the best players in the world. 

I dont really know what the best solution, but at this point, half the top players are on PGA/EURO and half of them are on LIV. Neither can survive if people dont watch, and people wont watch if they dont have a draw of all the top players competing. 

I didn’t realize they played events in America

Most of them.

The LIV is actually a better product outside of the gimmicky golf stuff. But it's more about the golf during the broadcast, a true world tour, etc.

Theegala….that was hard to watch. Xander birdied so likely would’ve been extra holes but a double on 18 with a 1 shot lead…tough

Cantlay going to LIV after today lol

The Open is delivering. Big names amuck on this board. Rory is going to win though…. IF he can control the feelz on the back 9 tomorrow 

Tomorrow should be fun. 

Hovland starting to fold. Rory looking solid. The Cam's playing well and putting pressure on Rory. 

If Rory doesn't hold on I hope Cam Smith wins it.

Cam Smith with 4 birds in a row to tie Rory at -18. Wow.

5 straight and the lead now.

Hell of a tournament for Cam Smith.

If only Rory could've made a putt.

30 on the back 9 on Sunday. Jack Nicklaus shit.

Perfectly stated.

Cam was awesome. Putting machine.

Rory as stated early this week was a lag-machine and he proved great at it….but Cam just made so many putts. Cam only 1 3 putt all weeks. He earned it.

Like every tournament….. Whoever is leading in putting usually wins.  Been like that forever. Everyone knows how important it is … but I’ll still go hit balls for an hour on the range and maybe like 10 putts on the practice green lol. I wonder if I’d get better if I spent an hour on the putting green and only 10 swings on the range 

I lol’d

“What happened, Rory?”

Nope. You’d just learn the 10 different putts at your spot.

You’d have to do that, but also go to different greens and use tees to help the mechanics especially on shorter putts. 

My golf game growing up was on a course you could hardly spin the ball and some hilly areas on the greens…of the 4 majors I think I’d score my best at St Andrews….especially if compared to those on same golfing level as me.
