Just checked the leaderboard before and the top three names on there were all my guys.

 

Louis -6

Spieth -5

Cink -4

 

Louis in the fairway bunker at 18 though so probably going to drop back

 

Edit - Nope, salvaged a great par.

Louis has a great chance has been runner up in the last two majors I think. He has his own wine label out here and what I thought was really off the wall ,he bought a tractor with his first tournament winnings.

He has a great chance apart from the fact that he always seems to contend but never wins.

 

I’d like to see him win, his swing is so fucking good to watch.

 

I think the fact that Dave’s bet on him was each way, is telling.

[dave u]

Yeah you'd bet the farm on him on him being in contention but you wouldn't bet much on him actually winning. I do think he has far more of a shot this week because it's over here. He never wins in America for some reason.

Dont think he's a fan of American golf's kind of target golf set ups. He grew up on the coast here and wind is always a factor on those courses . This venue looks a bit similar in parts to the links at Fancourt and also Durban Country Club, it might just suit him.

Cameron Smith makes me believe in time travel

I think Sky’s coverage of golf is piss poor. That Nick Dougherty is one boring fucker, and the number of ad breaks is a piss take. It’s night and day compared with their cricket coverage.

 

In regards to betting I backed Louis and Justin Thomas to win and have each way bets on Fitzpatrick and Westwood. I was heads or tails on Thomas and Speith and it looks like I went the wrong way. I actually like the look of Morikawa as things stand though, great irons player and that’s perfect for The Open. Remember when Tiger won at Hoylake 06 and he didn’t use his driver at all in any of his four rounds? He was using irons off the tee at virtually every hole, swapping distance for accuracy.

[Brownie]

Opinions eh, I think the coverage is great and I really like Dougherty.

[Bjornebye]

Looks a bit windier than yesterday at the same time.

I like Morikawa too but his putter blows hot and cold, he couldnt buy a putt at the Scottish Open.

[sir roger]

I'll tell you who won't win seeing I have jinxed them with my £2.50's.

 

Hatton

Reed

Scott

Cam Smith

McIntyre

Harman

He doesn’t need to be red hot with his putter if he keeps putting iron shots within five feet of the hole.

Looks that way right now.

DeChambeau missing the cut will kick off a great weekend.

That was an absolute exhibition of iron play today, it was amazing.

[lebron]

Rooting for Spieth as usual.... He will take some beating, especially if the wind kicks up a bit over the last two days.

[3 Stacks]

Spieth near the top of the leaderboard equals guaranteed entertainment.

Louis Oosthuizen looking very focused. Really is his type of course. Speith also looking good alongside the other big names.

[lifetime fan]

[Captain Turdseye]

Oosthuizen is not fucking about. 
 

He’s been finding form lately but I did not see him putting it together like this. 
 

Just dropped one.

Having him stomp round the course with a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp on Saturday and Sunday morning, fourteen shots off the lead, is reasonable compensation.

I’m no fan, but I thought his shout out to the crowd at the first tea to “get the booing out of the way first” was relatively endearing.

 

He needs more of that and less of ‘being a dick’.
