2018 British Open

[Alsacs]

-6 is the target.
If Molinari pars our he earned it.

 

[jncuse]

Blown opportunity for Chappell not to get a birdie on 14. That may be enough to do him in.

 

[rrlbees]

Any playoff will be an aggregate score of playing 15-18.

 

[Alsacs]

Can Tiger make another 40 footer?

 

[jncuse]

Great bounce back by Xander Schauffele after going +4 over 3 holes in the front nine.

 

[jncuse]

Rory in at -6.

It would be a hell of a playoff if it falls down to -6... but I am not sure if all of Molinari, Xander, and Speith will bogey in.

 

[jncuse]

Correction to the above... Speith did not get to -7. Fairly stunning.

 

[Alsacs]

-6 will get Tiger into Akron.
I hope he can make a birdie in the last 2.

 

[jncuse]

What a shot by Chappell.

 

[jncuse]

Speith just about done.

 

[jncuse]

-6 will get Tiger into Akron.
I hope he can make a birdie in the last 2.

-6 would get it... -5 might but he would need some real help. My calculations in an earlier post were a 2 way tie for 5th, would be really close.

 

[jncuse]

What a shot by Molinari on 17.

16 and 17 are playing tougher than 18 today (I think)

 

[jncuse]

What a shot by Schauffele

 

[Alsacs]

Nice up and down by Tiger.
Cmon birdie the last and get to Akron.

 

[rrlbees]

Some ahole fan yells just as Tiger hits his tee shot

 

[jncuse]

Fan yells in Tiger's back swing, but it doesn't impact it too negatively.

Molinari also on the fairway. Basically just a par 3 to get in the clubhouse lead.

 

[KaiserUEO]

He will be -6.

But Molinari will be 7 or better

 

[MSOrange]

I always like for an American to win the majors but Molinari flat out earned it today.

 

[jncuse]

Huge shot by Tiger... even a bigger shot by Molinari, that will probably be enough for him to win the open.

 

[jncuse]

Molinari played so solid today... the only guy that didn't make a big mistake anywhere.

Showed why he had the best form in the world entering the Open.

 

[jncuse]

Probably not what Molinari wanted to see before his putt

 

[jncuse]

Looks like Molinari will be 7th in the world rankings after today's win (maybe #6)... moving up from #16. He was #32 three months ago.

 

[jncuse]

Woods will probably miss Akron, but with Speith falling to at least -4, if Kisner comes in with a bogey it might be close.

 

[jncuse]

A 3 year old just heckled Schauffele. Telling him to hurry up and hit the ball.

 

[rrlbees]

First Italian ever to win the Open
