A wild drive well left, hacked back out onto the fairway, a piss poor iron for his 3rd short and right, indifferent pitch, average two putt from 12 feet. Put a 6 on your card. A total contrast from McIlroy on the 14th, the second of the par 5s. A controlled 3 wood onto the fairway, a solid iron to the middle of the green, eagle chance, tap in birdie.

I'd rather pro tracer every shot. Especially on windy days, get to see the shape. They didn't seem to have the pro tracer in the early coverage and the cameramen were like the auto cameras during the warm up at football😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooked it into the thick stuff. Chopped out sideways to avoid dunking it into the hazard. Third shot from quite a bit back but played it beautifully on to the dance floor. Rolled it un for an unlikely 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Anyone see that grotesque yippy putting from Zalatoris? Missed from 18" with the worst putting stroke imaginable. I think I'll have nightmares about that, let alone him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work out a reasonable conventional right under left putting grip on the practice green. Get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Mccllroy is always dugshit first round. Wouldn't look too much into that. The fact that Speith is in there early doors tells me it's that he and Oosthuizen will probably be in the same positions come Saturday night.

Victorian Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 McIlroy often looks like he's coasting. Playing a bounce game with a few mates. Probably too erratic to challenge at the top, especially if the putter stays cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mates must've gave him too many gimmies in his younger years. His putting brain needs re-wired, hope he gets it fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 His 'backswing' went horribly inside the line and he returned the putter outside. A bit like a 'pop-in' stroke which is fine for slick greens but only if the putting action is sound. The right hand claw has got to go. There's all kinds of ways you can re-set your putting action. He could carry his hands high and splay his elbows. Use a shoulder rocking motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I know MacIntyre hasn't started great, but is there a reason why BBC coverage completely ignoring him. We see every shot Rory M and Patrick Reed play and they're over par. We even see the two guys playing with MacIntyre but nothing from him. Heading same way as US coverage of only showing select few players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can well imagine that tackling that rough the way these guys do could easily lead to a hurty-hurty; especially if they haven't developed their wrist muscles using my patented exercises. However, how much wrist does a guy need to put the ball 18 inches? He looked like he was trying to swat a wasp and the ball got in the way. I feel sorry for him that he's hurt his spanner to the extent that he can't continue but it's not the cause of that bad putt.
