I walked it on Tuesday. The course is in magnificent condition and quite green. The R&A will not be watering the fairways.
The rough is thick between the ropes and the fairways, certainty thicker than when I walked Birkdale when Spieth won.
The run offs from the greens are razor sharp.

Definitely not the best Open ever.
Yeah, I think they've hit a bit of a dead zone with the setup and conditions where it's neither playing easy enough for big birdie runs nor hard enough for proper carnage so it just feels a bit dull. and par-y.
Nothing like a couple of eagles to big name chasers to fire things up

not a breath of wind for 2 days and oosty was 13 under 30 holes ago,currently 11 under
ooosty played a club hacker since fridayand still leading
this is absolutely shocking,embarrassing for worlds top golfers, HACKERS
THE EMBARRASSMENT CONTINUES,sholud let the crowd play instead,even sky struggling to make excuses
coltheart/sky everything o good for oosty FFS THE BLOKES 2 OVER FOR LAST 30 HOLES IN PERFECT CONDITIONS,MISSING THE CUT GOLF
everyone loves louis especially the other players,after you sir
Stepped away to get some applie pie out the over and came back to see Louis in the toilet.
yes awful stuff this, wouldn't like to think it be getting burned to a crisp on course watching this sh1te
Frittelli a reserve, started at near max odds, looks like he enjoying it,which is more than can be said for a few above him. On scoreboard.
Bye bye rahmbo.
Bye bye rahmbo.
just to repeat as sky will convince the lemmings otherwise,super smooth louis is 3 over since the 13th/14th on fri afternoon,horrendus golf under the conditions he was 13 under with a wind previous 30 holes
No bread butter, had hovland from off, DJ on Friday, little bit on Rahm and Scheffler today. Always think Louis will mess up eventually.
was surprised to see Scottish open had a pot of £8M,Open not much more on 11.5M.
when he reached 13 under on fri afternoon dougherty said it was a great chance for oosty and speith to put a big distance between them and the field, their 6 over between them since he spoke
Louis seems determined to break his second place hoodoo by finishing third.
No rhyme nor reason to some of the performances, hov OK today but still a young gun, DJ shocker yesterday scheff another who has failed to fire today. Yea it's all about luck imo.
Since Louis got in trouble in 7 Collin made his up and down, went pin hunting at the next to extend the lead and hit laser straight down the fairway. Ruthless stuff.

That was better from Louis. Has to chase and all of a sudden shots come out.
1st uk links open course debut looks like dotting up,2 dozen sky pundits burning 2 dozen what it takes books as we speak,they might open the ben curtis handbook
raahm 8 behind are sky really trying convince even the dumbest lemmings ,he,s still in it
Been hard to keep up with the poor coverage thought it was just me, turned volume down, helped a bit.
Fritteli back to starting price in blink of an eye, prob a lot harder than it looks. Dry now as well.

Louis had the England football team mindset - hit the front and go on the defensive. Hard mindset to break out of.
Maybe 4 back with 8 to play is where he needed to be. Attack the only option.
Let's not forget pretty substantial draw bias this week and Collin was on the wrong side of it. He has dominated Royal St Georges.
Draw bias may have ultimately worked
to benefit Colin, as leaders decided
to wait for him.

Another boring virtue signalling type winner then 
He's had a couple of bounces that make up a bit for the bad draw.
frittelli was 5 reserve - will walk away with a mountain of cash
easy game when loopny on course pundits keep saying 25ft at best and you get it inside 15 everytime,average shot and your considered brilliant because of what some water carrier pundit has said
Loui throwing the kitchen sink at holding onto 4th place.
the bit sky dont tell you
louis 2 over for last 40 holes and hasnt holed a put of note for over 2 days

Bogey free -4 playing in the last group on debut at The Open. This is legendary.
everyone scores 4 under on last day of major playing with louis ,thats why they love him
instead of sky telling us how cool louis looks 24 /7 they should be discussing how to get a giant rocket up his arris,like flare man
easy to look cool when you havnt a care in the world about losing

It's been a very impressive

win.
He doesn't look a bad putter.

Two years ago it was Hovland and Wolff, and this was the other guy.
Wiki quick...
He began his PGA Tour career with 22 consecutive made cuts, a feat surpassed only by Tiger Woods' 25-cut streak.[3] Morikawa has five PGA Tour wins – including 2major championship, the 2020 PGA Championshipand the 2021 Open Championship. In May 2018, Morikawa spent three weeks as the top-ranked golfer in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

faldo thinks oosty has been fab 2 over for last 40 holes in perfect conditions,they dont arf talk some shoite,he,s been shocking
There has never been a Colin win a major, but we now have a double major winner in Collin 
WD Collin you played very solid and holed out very well. A deserving Champion.
deserved winner alright, played his best thought Speith lost it at the start or even at the 18th Saturday
Comparisons with Brooks with the knack of winning majors, cool head and lasered approach shots are the key with these 2 they're the money shots.
Absolutely phenomenal win in my book.
Superb.
Some will look back and see a missed opportunity I think. Rahm be one.
Oosty timeform squiggle for sure,Eway cash cow though.
Morikwwa closed it out tremendously well under extreme pressure.

Here we are, 19th of July and we're all majored out for the year
Yes ,will never understand the logic of moving the USPGA ,was nice to look forward to it Aug/Sep ,rather than putting it in the spring .Next major is a long way off this way.
The US PGA Championship has been moved from August to May as part of a revamp which will see the PGA Tour season end before the start of the NFL campaign.
From next year the PGA Championship, traditionally the golf season's final major, will follow the US Masters.
It means the Open Championship - which will continue to be held in July - will become the last major in the calendar.
The PGA Tour season will end before the end of August to avoid clashing with the opening American football fixtures.
The Players Championship - often described as the unofficial fifth major - has been moved to March from its previous date in May, with the end-of-season FedEx Cup play-offs shortened to three events and finishing on 25 August.
"It's been our stated objective for several years to create better sequencing of our tournaments that golf fans around the world can engage in from start to finish," said PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan.
"And by concluding at the end of August, the FedEx Cup play-offs no longer have the challenge of sharing the stage with college and professional football."
This year's Open takes place from 19-22 July at Carnoustie in Scotland, with the PGA Championship in Missouri from 9-12 August.
