The Americans always come to the fore when the Open becomes a pitch and putt competition in benign conditions - they should have on course wind machines.

What a round of golf, the accuracy and calm. Relentless is a good word. And he’s a likeable guy.

Big shout out for Chris Gotterup. Won last weeks Scottish open and finished 3rd today.
Not a bad weeks earnings.

Re: The 153rd Open Championship

I have to admit that I got rather bored watching the golf today.
Normally I'd watch every second but after the first few holes I just dipped in and out.
It was obvious that someone from the chasing pack had to play out of their skin to be in contention and pray that Scheffler had a disaster.
The latter was never going to happen, especially the way the weather turned out, and even if it played like the first couple of days wet and windy, the guy is so goddamn efficient it would probably have made no difference.

Bryson DeChambeau did well to finish on -9 and had he had half a decent first day, he may well have made a tournament of it.

Scheffler looks set to win many more majors in the future and a shoe in for the grand slam.

Re: The 153rd Open Championship

Scheffler reminds me a bit of Faldo or Ernie Els. Almost metronomic and solid, without being a showman, making few mistakes and picking up shots regularly.
If he wins the grand slam next year he'll do so on his 30th birthday.

Foregone conclusion wasn’t it. Always hope for an exciting Sunday at a majo, and I had bet Rory 😩
