Vik and Rory are putting on a show.

Vik and Rory are putting on a show.

Hope it stays that way for tomorrow

 

[coloradocowboy]

Yes, both are class acts.

 

[coloradocowboy]

Both birdie 18 to tie at -16, 4 shots clear of second.

 

[CPTNQUIRK]

If that course didn’t have so much history, I don’t think it would be a setting for a major.

 

[JohnW]

Hovland, he is a class guy who gets all there is out of his game. Awesome he stil lives in Stillwater

I like Clark too he had a rough break when his mom died while he was at OSU. Gooch is a fav of mine too as he picked OSU over OU. He won the longest Drive t 10 years old in Durant in a fund raiser for SEOSU where his dad played college baseball

 

[coloradocowboy]

I also have been a Gooch fan since meeting him and his mom at the NCAA regionals here in 2011. However, I'm unsettled about the LIV tour transfer.

 

[OSUMedievalguy]

Fingers crossed for Viktor!

 

[JohnW]

Liv doesn't bother me. it just means more golf to watch and these guys are making their best career for their families first and foremost the whole golf history stuff is over rated compared to making their best living. I do agree we need to promote golf for kids but their family and career earnings come ahead of that for me

 

[osucowboy79]

Rory is playing great. Vik needs a break or two to turn the momentum.

Talor has $9m career earnings. That doesn't include endorsements, which amount to another large pile. How much does one man and family need?

Many cheering for Rory and not much for Victor. Rory is bound to stumble back nine and Victor will get some birdies.

 

[JohnW]

Its not your call or my call. Caddy and travel are big time expenses for a golfer and he may want to take care of his mom and dad too, he grew up on a muni not a country club.

 

[OSU79]

Rory definitely not "bound to stumble." Cam Smith may beat him, but I'd bet Rory doesn't back up from -18.

 

[PokeSaladAnnie]

I doubt that was the first eagle ever at the Open considering there were at least four so far this year.

Announcer said this morning Victors Eagle was first one in the last century. They may have meant for the specific hole.

 

[JohnW]

Looks like Cam smith is the one to beat. He i strong in majors and scary good short game.

 

[ashpkt]

Hovy just can't catch a break. Hasn't really put himself in too many birdie positions

 

[OSU79]

Rory definitely not "bound to stumble." Cam Smith may beat him, but I'd bet Rory doesn't back up from -18.

Sometimes I forget just how smart I am.


Hovy just didn't have it today. He played a little tentative, especially off the tee; still, T4 is a great showing.

 

[JohnW]

C Smith has been in the hunt for a number of majors lately and got his win. He has a lot more in him. Driver can lose a major but putters win one.

And as we all know, having it for 3 of 4 doesn't cut it. Nonetheless, I agree he had a great showing and I'm sure he'll continue to excel.
