2019 British Open
« on: July 16, 2019, 07:51:43 PM »
British Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951.

The weather comes in to play in this tournament in asymmetrical fashion. So really hard to pick a favorite. Rory would love to win this.

While not a big Rory fan, I think it would be quite the scene over the weekend if he is in the hunt. I think the fans are going to put on a great show this week. Between nearly 70 decades of no action, a few local boys playing and ton of booze, I think it is going to make New York fans seem tame.

I love Rory.  Thought his composure, maturity, and class after his Master's collapse was really really impressive.  Also, one of the few major pros Ive had an interaction with.  Saw him at an airport, both standing waiting by a screen, made eye contact, clearly knew i recognized him and HE was the one to lead with "how we doing mate" and fist bumped me.  Couple other friends between a PGA teaching pro I know and a few others all mention him as an awesome dude and a favorite guy on tour.

That being said, its kind of crazy that he's a betting favorite, even playing at home.  He'd be fantastic value at 25-1 or something, but odds on fav at 8-1 is a bit rich.  Would love to see him be in contention come the weekend, could be really fun.

Have my draft king lineups in and not overly confident. I have been quite well on the daily contests and focusing on those beginning on Friday.

He's brash and British.  Americans usually hate that sort of thing.  Totally serious.

He's kind of a whiner and lacks some self awareness, same sort of issue with Bubba Watson.  But I have much less of an issue with Poulter than a lot of people.

ohhhhh boy, rory starts off with an errant tee shot, then hits that into an unhittable and 2 putts for an 8-whats wrong with that?  doesn't everyone start out like that?  appeal to the common man. 

then next tee shot on hole 2 goes right but still may be playable-someone get him a shot of a little bushmills err sumpin

A 90, my god. 20 years removed from being the player of the year, but still.  Wild.

In other news, Koepka is an absolute machine.  He's unreal right now.

Tiger, shut it down.   Too cold, too wet, too much back and leg pain, too much rough.

Koepka may be one of my least favorite athletes of all time.

I know he's a decent enough guy, never been in any trouble, and the best golfer in the world right now, but there's something about him that just irks me and I just can't figure out why.

And it's not just that he shot a 90, but he started Birdie, Birdie.  He was probably thinking, "All right...everything is clicking today..."  And then a couple holes later he put up an 8 and then a 14(!).
