The Open Championship at St Andrews

July 16-19

 

Rory was the favorite but now he is in a walking boot.  No word yet if he will miss the tournament. Jordan Speith's odds to win the first 3 majors of the season just shot up tremendously.

I think Jordan has a good chance regardless. Texans, especially ones from DFW and west, should naturally do well at Links courses. For Jordan himself he just has to go to Weatherford an hour away to play a links style course. Jordan should have already been the favorite but three weeks layoff hopefully won't bring any rust with it.

​Jordan is playing the John Deere this coming week.

Okay I knew normally he did but the interview after the US Open made it seem like he wasn't. Good that he keeping his commitment.

@SportsCenter: THIS JUST IN: Rory McIlroy decides not to play in Open Championship after rupturing ankle ligament July 4. http://t.co/7gOLttgcQ2

Speith -5 through 10.  Everyone going low today except Tiger who is +4

He finished at -5.  Young man has ice  water in his veins, and in the Majors, he bows up like a mad rattlesnake.  And to me, one of his best attributes, he's got Class.

Sorry - senile:  Currently two off the lead, behind D. Johnson.

Hack Woods shoots +4 76.

That 76 will end up looking like an 86 when compared to other scores today.

[PhatMack19]

John Daly is -4 through 10.  He's still one of the fan favorites.

So much wasted talent!   If I'm not mistaken he's won at St A once before. Wonder if still flattens the ball like he use too.  $15 cab fare from tee to get to his ball.

What a moment at twilight at the Old Course.  Tom Watson had a career filled with class and grace.  His final moments were no different.  

Also loved that Matt Kuchar came back to witness his last walk up 18 and to thank him, hours after his own round was completed.

A classy move for Kuchar, for IMO Mr. Class TWatson.

D Johnson will find a way to blow it.

[Hagar]

Speith bogies the 9th, a birdie hole.  Must have upset him.  Has birdies on next three to go -10 and tie for lead.  

[ST413]

Definitely want Jordan to win but it will be hard to root against the amateur!

He shot 75 today and was the only player in Top 25 to shoot over par

[PhatMack19]

Amateur Paul Dunne in the clubhouse tied for the lead after 3 rounds. This is only his 2nd tournament ever to play. He would miss out on a $1.8 million dollar payday if he wins.  The golfers below him that get to split that money would be happy though 

[Peppermint Patty]

The Eyes of Texas are Upon St Andrews. Come on, Speith.

[PhatMack19]

There are currently 3 amateurs in the top 6 and 15 golfers within 3 shots of the lead.  This should be a great final round. 

[PhatMack19]

Paul Dunne played college golf this year at UAB with his best round of the year being 67.  He shot 66 in the 3rd round of the British Open.  Talk about timing.  

[PhatMack19]

The weather is coming in with wind and rain expected in the next hour.  If one of these early guys can post a score in the clubhouse, they have a good chance of winning with tougher conditions coming. 

[PhatMack19]

Speith with a double at the Par 3 8th.  That really hurts his chances.  He's now 3 back with a bunch of people in front of him

Birdie on 9 & 10 to get back in the hunt.  That kid is pretty good.

It's Leishman's to lose now.
