Bryson just goes about his stuff and Brooks always has to chuck in smart arse comments, from what I've seen anyway. Mate I thought it was the other way about until I heard the comments Brooks made about the Ryder cup and saying it’s pretty obvious we won’t be paired together and Bryson got same question and said he wouldn’t be bothered if they were . I also felt Brooks comments about the course were pretty disrespectful too earlier in the week - I’ve played front 9 not bothered about the back I’ll play them tomorrow I don’t like this course but it’s what it is I’ll play back tomorrow .

Victorian Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 FYI, the yips can often manifest itself as the inability to properly make a stroke on specific length putts. Might be 12", might be 2'. Often players turn to stone over a tiddler but have no problems with a 3 or 4 footer. Why on earth you think he's hunched over the thing like Quasimodo with a left arm lock and right hand claw grip? Putting issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Interesting wee device that Oosthuizen employs with the putter. Kind of massages his grip up and down the putter a bit before completing his address. Probably ensuring a nice even grip pressure and keeping tension out of his forearms. Do what works for you, eh? For all McIroy's failings he's posted two 70s. Typical McIlroy really. Looks poor but still scores a hell of a lot better than most when not at the races.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Scottie Scheffler I had a fancy for, very much in the hunt. Texans love Links golf, well attuned to windy dry conditions. Fritelli like Louis is another South African who seems to be drawn to the big occasion. 1555 a late start for the last 2 expect the board to tighten up tomorrow, cracking tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting a rare run on a golf bet with DJ. He's got unfinished business there as he spaffed the Open that Clarke won.

Pasquale for King Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Really good to hear American players talk about how they love links golf, in particular the different shots they have to play compared to the courses they usually compete on. As most do they also recognise that the fans know the game, clap for good shots etc. Maybe just a nice break from their drunk morons who spoil it.
