Golf - The Majors 2017

Another solid par for Tommy, last hole coming up and I hope he finishes with a birdie

A birdie down the last from Tommy would still earn me a little drink off the bookies, which is always nice.

 

[Scouse]

Turns out he didn't need the birdie and I doubled my stake. Lovely jubbly!

Had Hoffman and Fleetwood both each way! Only 2 quid on each but not a bad return!

Good work mate! I've done a few quid on Tommy F for The Open, available at 40-50s.
Amazing golf last night, it needed someone to shut the door n he slammed it n nearly took the hinges off.

Wide fairways are wide, though. The USGA can only do so much to up the ante with pin positions and closely mowing the greens (without turning it into a farce). Keep in mind that par for this tournament is 288 rather than the usual USGA setup where par is arbitrarily set at 280 for a course where par for four rounds is normally 288.

I don't think double digits under par will be required to win this, but I don't think it's out of the question either.

Good call.

Yep, things can change so quickly, look at Koepkas drive then though he might have got lucky. Fleetwood just has to stick at it and hang in there and if he's a couple behind with 5/6 to play then he's in with a shout

Shame it didn't work out but I am definitely gonna put some English pounds on him to win the Claret Jug

Yep, I think without playing his best he can be really proud that he didn't buckle under the pressure on the day and still held his game together. Shame he didn't get a couple of birdies midway through when he had the chance to maybe put some pressure on but tbh Koepka was just on a different level yesterday and I don't think anyone was going to catch him. Whwn you've got players sinking 18ft+ plus putts without a 2nd thought then you've got to say fair play and well done.

I'll be sticking a tenner on Tommy mate for the Open plus hoping some of our other lads like Rose find a bit of form as well. Got my tickets for the Friday and hoping to swing a day off over the weekend as well if I can

Spent the day at Royal Birkdale for the first practice day and was really interesting to see some of the golfers going around for the first time.

Willett looked really confident from what I saw, whereas McIlroy was all over the place on one of the wholes; five off the tee and all in the rough.

Going the Open on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, can't wait.

Ryan Fox 250/1 worth a £1 e/w. I'm a Marshall on the 7th EFC t shirt under my orange coat, hope to flash the badge on TV especially if Tommy Fleetwood is nearby.

That doesn't sound good. Who was Rory practising with or was he out on his own?

Was going to do it tomorrow.

But there's not a lot of players there, and I just can't justify £25 for is.

Seeing this has made me have second doubts.

With his caddy and entourage but nobody else initially. He went out later with someone else but I was following Speith.
