*** 2026 The Open Championship Royal Birkdale***

[Cyclonepride]

Just laughing watching Hatton. He's a guy I historically rooted against to win. But his reactions are fun to watch.

Maybe I should be cheering for him, would definitely make Sunday rounds more entertaining. He'd be a fun guy to walk a round with! From a little distance though.

I root against him because LIV, but he'd be in the top 5 of tour pros that I'd want to play a round with.

Yes most Open rota courses are weather dependent, but this is no JD Classic

Definitely exaggerating with "John Deere Classic". The reality is, courses can be hard or soft, 6000 yards or 8,000 yards, all kinds of different rough.... if you give these guys perfect weather/no wind, they will eat any course.

These courses especially. If they made them to be hard in good weather over there, they'd be unplayable in their frequent bad weather.

John Deere Classic breaking out in England. Course is playing defense as well as their soccer team did in the second half.

Links courses are super gettable when the conditions are as favorable as they have been so far. No wind and rain means guys are going to go low.

Oh boy, they’re tangling with DeChambum about improving his lie.

He is pissed. Absolute cinema.

 

[Cyclonepride]

I'm guessing he's going to get a penalty for that. Intentional or not, he definitely improved his swing path.

 

[Rural]

Actually after watching the whole thing a few times it’s probably DQ worthy.

The more I watch it, the more it does look like it could have been intentional, but that would be a really, really heavy handed ruling

He even stepped down on it one last time before the swing.

 

[enisthemenace]

Now talking about a potential WD on TV. That would be wild.

 

[t.m.]

Official website leaderboard now has him -5

 

[Rural]

Plus, I think he’d be paired with Scheffler again definitely something I gotta think Scheffler can’t love.

Rules might have changed, but it used to be first in, last out. That would have Bryson playing with whoever at -4 finished first today (not Scheffler)

 

[Lineup]

take a walk Bryson

According to the leaderboard, he’ll be paired with Matt Wallace.

These courses especially. If they made them to be hard in good weather over there, they'd be unplayable in their frequent bad weather.

Proven time and time again in the Tiger video games. Set the conditions to easy on any of the British courses and you shoot 30 under easy.

 

[EnkAMania]

Now Bryson is saying he'll decide tomorrow morning whether to continue.

 

[Clonehomer]

Now Bryson is saying he'll decide tomorrow morning whether to continue.

That seems a bit dramatic. There’s zero chance he decides to withdraw.
