US Open

What time will McIlroy tee off?

[Spy Bee]

About 20:15 I think.

 

Why does the background music when they are summing up the scoreboard always sound like it belongs in an epic film where the protagonist has just died and everyone is lamenting his loss before they go postal and avenge him?

[Carradona]

He's down to tee off at 8.20pm.

 

Madness that Sergio Garcia doesn't have any practice shots or warm-up before his round of golf. Just goes straight out there and plays.

[Xherdan]

If Rory does not win from this position he will be finished mentally. If he wins its quite possible he could go on and dominate for the next 10-20 years as he really has an incredible golf game. If he develops the ability to deal with the pressure situations he then becomes the full package.

 

Also, an interesting quote from the bbc:

 

Should McIlroy go on to win, he would become the youngest US Open champion since Bobby Jones in 1923 and it would mark the first time a nation other than the United States has won back-to-back US Opens following Graeme McDowell's victory 12 months ago.

He does warm up Cain, just not on the driving range, but he is doing both putting and chipping before he tees off.

 

I predict Rory will be close to par today, but his lead is too big to lose, can see Westwood and maybe even Day get close to -10 overall.

I haven't been able to watch any of this so far so looking forward to it tonight, if I can find a decent stream.

[Xherdan]

YE Yang sporting very red trousers. Quite fetching.

 

And Westwood birdies the first hole.

[Rush 346]

Come on Rory, should be some good viewing the next few hours

[Code]

Double post.

[Ziggy Stardust]

I'd like to see Westwood make a bit of a charge here. I want Rory to win but I hope the gap to closes a bit to keep it interesting.

 

EDIT: That's not looking likely at all though, so he might as well go on and win it in great style. What's Tiger's record for biggest win in a major?

[Rush 346]

Birdie for Mcilroy on 1st takes him to 15 under

[RedIsTheColour]

Got a decent stream, if any one wants?

[Rush 346]

Can these yanks f off with this get in the hole shit everytime someone tees off on a par 3

[Xherdan]

Cunts shouting 'get in the hole' while teeing off on a par five. Fuck off you maccies cunts.

[Carradona]

Rory is pissing this. I said at the dinner table he would win by at least 6. He's going to win by at least 10.

[Rush 346]

Rory 16 under - could win this by a mile!

[russ1979]

anybody got a decent stream my sopcast 1 aint working

[George Costanza]

its in the bag for rory.

 

he's been brilliant. course seems to have been perfect for him. Augusta is too tbf he just had one mare of a round.

[Guest ShoePiss]

The american commentators are gay for Rory's swing, blowing loads over it.

[Carradona]

These commentators know more than you and I. They are saying that Rory is playing the greatest Major golf EVER.

[Guest ShoePiss]

Yeah that's what keeping me watching, the way they're talking we're watching a historic moment in the sport.

[Carradona]

Take a fucking bow, Rory. Genius.

[loadsoftrophies]

He's a bit good isn't he.

[Spy Bee]

Rory The Tiger is now only the second coolest Rory!

[Vincent Vega]

He's 22 and he's owning the place. Rory and Jason Day are going to own golf over the next five years.
