The Thread Where We Discuss Golf

[Baddar]

Ah, summer. It's been absolutely pissing it down at St Andrews so play on day 2 has been suspended. Not expecting much action before 11am.

Edit: play is getting under way at 10am.

Stupid awful Scottish weather trying to ruin The Open.

[Baddar]

Well, it's been causing more problems this morning. Players not happy, Monday finish possible.

[Baddar]

Some low scores already today. Rickie is flying. Doubt he'll win as the leaders will pull away later, you would think, but it's good to see him posting a good score. Sitting 7 under now. Hopefully he can get one more in his last few holes. 

[gunnar hendershow]

Marc Leishman has shot -8 for the day.  A round of 62 is a possibility, needs to birdie the last 2 holes.

[Baddar]

Not happening now, he's got a tough one to save par on the last. 

Got par, shot a 64.

Outrageous leaderboard, tomorrow is gonna be special.

[Baddar]

It's easy to say the amateur will bottle it, but it's such a close call. I don't think he'll bottle it as such, he looks so calm under pressure. But I do think some of the others will shoot lower than him on the final day.

I wouldn't mind Spieth taking it and remaining on track for the first ever calendar grand slam.

[Thrilla]

I've got money on Spieth to win and Schwartzel to finish in the top 5.

Feel like I should have taken the day off and watched this from home >_>

[Matt]

I'm rooting for the amateur or Spieth. Conditions look horrible though so anything could happen today.

[Baddar]

Watching Spieth on the practice green, he couldn't make a putt. First putt on the 1st which must have been at least 10ft away, birdie. Standard. 

[Matt]

This is shaping up really interestingly. Could go to anyone within 5 strokes. I really hope work deems this as an important enough sporting event to put the TV on.

[Whisper]

Come on Sergio!

Looking forward to getting home and watching the end of this. Hoping for some kind of ridiculous 7 way play off!

Gutted I completely forgot to put my each way bet on Garcia before the tournament started.

[Thrilla]

Schwartzel is shooting +7 for the day, must have known I bet on him.

[Baddar]

It's Leishman's unless he makes a mistake on 16, 17 or 18, surely.

Bogey at 16!

[Baddar]

Spieth with a long birdie putt out of nowhere. He's tied for the lead late on.

[Thrilla]

Spieth is going to do it.

[Baddar]

Spieth bogeys 17 to go back to 14 under. He needs to birdie 18 to join the playoff group. 

[Baddar]

Wasn't to be for Spieth or Day.

Definitely a two way playoff at least now. Oosty will join Johnson and Leishman if he gets a birdie on his final hole.

Typically, I tipped Zach Johnson a month early. Taking place money for Day and Garcia at least.

A three way playoff then! Johnson, Leishman and Oosthuizen will contest it.

Looks like it'll be Johnson, two birdies to start the playoff
