British Open Banter Thread
I guess I'll be the resident golf guy and start it off. It seems there's some more interest among members in golf.
I really think it would be interesting if Daly manages to hold his game together, too early to tell.

I want to say that Rory always does well there, but he's only a kid, but in fact he actually does always do well there ( British Open). He bombs it off the tee, so does Daly. It comes down to who makes the most putts on Sunday just like every other tournament, but today the course was for the taking in the morning rounds.

I've definitely had a 17 shot difference between rounds...the problem is that it's usually between 81 and 98,

Seriously though...Rory's round today shows just how much the weather can affect scoring. It was awful the later 1/2 of the day. Wood's 73 was pretty impressive as folks were imploding.

I would not have guessed anyone would be -15 at this point prior to Thursday. It's nearly a crap shoot to end up there with the proper tee time it seems, not to take anything away from the players at the top. Who knows what Sunday will bring. It appears Louis, aka Peter Oosterhuis, is on top of his game for sure. I noticed a couple of things about his swing that are iffy at impact that require timing (from my years of analyzing golf swings on video), so we'll see how it holds out under pressure. If the course conditions and wind continue to get more challenging late in the afternoon, the winner might not come from the last groups even with a formidable lead.
