They have had to change the course to accommodate grandstands etc. I think it's going to host at least another two Opens as per the current rotation.

Maroon Sailor Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Duval finishes at +27 1 under for his last 10 holes. Fair play to him for that and not taking the easy way out of withdrawing However he should make that his last round in The Open unless he has a remarkable change of form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armageddon Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I don't care much for Rory, always wanting to give his shitty opinion on anything outside of golf and would sell his Granny for the right price. This prancing around Portrush in Stone Island/Nike gear was a joke IMO. For me he needs to strip it all back to what he was when a sensational player. When he shot that 61 aged 16 he was hungry, now he’s lost control and focus of what its all about and that is TITLES. Saying all the above, it was hard watching him in that interview, I saw a wee boy with a dream and he ****ed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to play it and see what my score would be , make a better fist of it than +28 I’d bet! Listened to an interview with Jamie Murray as he and Andy both joined Wentworth this year and gained new handicaps down there. Jamie is off 10 and Andy was allocated 6. They played a medal with the course set up to Championship length and both scored 101! 😄 Surely players with a competent ability shouldn't be scoring anything like that on any course.

Victorian Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Looking like nasty weather coming in for the final round. Heavy rain and winds getting up. Hopefully limited and playable but it might make things very interesting. Rain forecast for central belt Scotland this afternoon.

Maroon Sailor Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 From Wiki Following Duval's victory at the 2001 Open Championship, he never won again on the PGA Tour and his performance declined dramatically due to injuries and various medical conditions. As a result, he lost his tour card in 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that last time he led by 4 going into final round of a major. Ive a feeling looking at the weather for tomorrow that someone could come out of the pack earlier in the day like Lawrie at Carnoustie in 99 as the later starters struggle with the weather. Think it could be an interesting day tomorrow still and not as clear cut as it looks. After me writing this, expect Lowry to win easy, not very good with my predictions.

I'd love to see him win it and he's in a great position. However, seen it all too often that these leads can get wiped out quickly and that two shot swings are likely. Bringing the tee times forward will benefit him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Been a long time since Open held at Portrush and I can only express hope that it a very long time till it is held there again. Course is as dull and depressing as any Links course I have ever seen and the lack of atmosphere, for anyone other than Irish players, is a sad sight to behold. Lowry winning mostly because of his own ability, but the lack of guts and skill from the rest of the leaderboard has made the last day pretty boring, at least for the neutral spectator.
