Good morning to you 2da! Yeah bro, he did play in the one of the later groups. Indeed, with the rain these greens will really hold the ball more firmly on approach shots. Fleetwood just rolled in another one on the 11th.

I liked how aggressive tiger was on that 1st putt even tho he missed it.

Yeah, we're starting to see some flashbacks from the Tiger of youth! Dude really looks to be on his game and playing well. I think he likes this links style golf, not a lot of distance and doesn't favor high ball fight.

[2daBank]

Then of course he shanks tee shot on 2nd and bogeys. Everyone going low and tiger starts going wrong direction. Shit.

[mikejamm]

Ugg! Yeah really 2da. Come on Tiger, what the hell man? Maybe we jinxed him, talk'in him up too much.

I jinx him every major by betting him like the sucker I am! Lol.

[mikejamm]

I believe he'll get it go'in again, still early in the round, but man, you don't wanna keep putting up red scores like that.

[mikejamm]

Projected cut at +2. Some big names are gonna have to step it up to make it into the weekend.

[2daBank]

Fleetwood on a mission today!

[2daBank]

There ya go tiger!!

[mikejamm]

Fleetwood on a mission today!

Hell yeah! Dude is in the zone! Hitt'in the greens and roll'in the puts!

[mikejamm]

There ya go tiger!!

Break out the angry Tiger! Battling back!

[mikejamm]

Great round for Fleetwood, 65.

[mikejamm]

Freak'in fairways are brown and dry as a desert. Course definitely needs the rain.

Great round for Fleetwood, 65.

Guys playing right now definitely had a big advantage. Early-Late tee times.
Glad the three guys I bet the most on to win - Fleetwood, Rory and Ricky, playing very well despite Rory and Fleetwood getting the rough side of the draw.
Looking forward to the weekend action!

Freakin conditions didn’t even mean shit for tiger, even par with the tougher conditions day 1, even par when greens are soft and others going low day 2.,

[mikejamm]

Go Tiger Go! Kevin Kisner's double bogey on 18, hitting his 2nd shot into the infamous Barry Burn, has left the door wide open for anybody sitting 6 shots back.

Tiger, sitting at even par definitely has a chance. I like the fact that everybody is tightly bunched on the leader board and nobody has yet to run away with this tournament.

[mikejamm]

I honestly believe Tommy Fleetwood is playing the best golf here and it's his tourney to win after a beautiful 6 birdie bogey free 2nd round on Friday.

You can't count out Zach Johnson though, who is playing some stellar golf and wasn't even on my radar as a contender, just goes to show, you don't ever know.

[mikejamm]

As many as 9 Americans are chasing the Englishman Fleetwood with only 2 of them Zach Johhson and Kevin Kisner 1 shot ahead of him. Throw in a couple of South Africans and a sneaky Irishman, Mcllroy, lol, and we've got ourselves a great British Open so far.

So will the cream rise to the top this 3rd round or will this be a play it safe and be in contention on Sunday? I'm hoping we'll see some big aggressive moves today.

Tiger and 'ol lefty Phil Michelson tee off at 8:05 and 8:15 am respectively.
The rest of the contenders, Ricky Fowler, Jordan Speith, Finau, Mcllroy, Fleetwood, Kisner, and Johnson will hit the links in staggered start times starting at 10:00am

Good luck on your bets guys!

[mikejamm]

Good one KVB! Classic

[unde0087]

so, so what let's dance

[krk1030]

Rose and reed going low on moving day.

[mikejamm]

That Barry Burn has got to be one of the most wicked hazards in all of golf! No mercy at all if you hit it in there.

[mikejamm]

Did you guys see Zander Lombard fire in that eagle on the 18th from a 135 yards out? Beautiful iron shot, perfect back spin, check up nicely and rolled right in the cup!

That's exactly the way I hit them every week! I wish!

[dlowilly]

Hey Mikeypuss you going to the bash?

[mikejamm]

Hey Mikeypuss you going to the bash?

Sure asshole, I'll be there, just to watch Donk beat your worthless ass to a pulp!

[mikejamm]

Final round is kicking off good people. Not too much is happening until 'ol lefty Phil Mickelson goes out at 6:40am est. Still like watching that dude play, and he is still in the hunt, but at 9 shots off the lead, it would take one hell of a round. But hey, you never know what can happen at a Major Championship. A Frenchman named Jean van de Velde can attest to that.

Tiger and the rest of the leaders tee it off starting at 9:25am. Best of luck today fellas!

[flakeandbake]

Just took Pieters > Cink to get this party started

[flakeandbake]

100-130 Langer > Perez

[mikejamm]

Well, so much for a Tiger comeback. Dude plays a perfect front 9 and then blows it in 2 holes. He still has a chance, but man, golf is a cruel fuk'in game.

[KVB]

Rory with an Eagle on 14!!!!


17-1 here we come!!!!!

[mikejamm]

Congrats to Francesco Molinari on winning his 1st career Major. Dude played an excellent final round! Well deserved! Viva I'Italia!

Schaufele almost buried the world, put some golfers on their seats.
