Harman winning a major before Flower would be so awesome

Who's Flower?

Who's Flower?

The Duke of Debt

Watching Harman over the ball, I have muttered "hit the ball, Sergio."   If he and Corpuz play a round together, 5 hours.

He's absorbing the tears of the British fans cheering for European Flower

Harman has always been a very solid player.  And he's 5'6 tops. 

[tower912]

Short and twitchy.

Yes.  But perhaps you should allow him a bit of leeway. 

[tower912]

I am not rooting against him.   Completely ambivalent.    Anybody but Reed.

Fair enough.  I'm not watching but get emergency alerts on my phone when diminutive athletes do well.

This is absolutely hilarious if true

I hope that doesn't include middle-schoolers.

There absolutely should be DADN'S.  Diminutive Athletes Dominating  Notifications.  I will admit that isn't the case but I have a bunch of people who alert me of prime-time performances fron our smaller citizens.

Cut the nonsense MU82.  This further amplifies the prejudice many people have experienced.

Fairway woods into par 4's today.

I love wet weather gloves.  No need for towels.   And yes, I putt with them on.   Good reminder to focus on the grip and take the hands out of the stroke.

Proper Open weather.  Always a joy to see courses without man made waterfalls or water fountains.

Rory with nice early rally. Probably too little too late.

Rahm will need to make some noise soon to put pressure on Harman

[Uncle Rico]

Harman back-to-back birdies after a sloppy 6 on 5 shows some huevos. 

[Herman Cain]

Harman has this under control

[Uncle Rico]

Have to think the Septic Tank played his way on Team Europe this week

[MU82]

Was hoping for a great, hotly contested finish. Instead, meh.

Good on Harman, though. He's been Mr. Steady all tournament and nobody has really stepped up over the weekend to make it a real contest.

Back to back majors where complete nobody's have won
