What a course!


Stay out of the difficult bunkers and have a great tournament putting = WIN




Kudos to Harman

[Jeff Schley]

Impressive driving and lag putting for sure.  He only has 165-70 ball speed, but was very accurate this week. His putting was superb as well. Classy guy and looks like a solid US Open type golfer, wouldn't be surprised if he wins another major.

Will the rollback hurt or help the 109 mph swing speed? Why can’t we base policy on these tournaments where nothing needs fixed.

LOL-50 degrees and daily rain should do it.
Just move the Championship to October.

If you take liberties with the bunkers on a links course, especially the fairway bunkers, your chances of scoring well are somewhere between Nil and Slim and Slim has already left the course.

A well earned WIN for a dark horse, congrats...the highlight of his career

[Garland Bayley]

Now he needs to develop a cut to win the masters.

I noticed he threw the ball right handed so assume he is another in pretty long list playing opposite dominant hand( Miller, Mickelson, Charles, Hogan)(correct me if I am wrong)

[David_Tepper]

You can add me to the list playing opposite dominant hand (badly).

[Alex Miller]

You can add me to the list playing opposite dominant hand (badly).

Ha! Another here 


Sergio and Spieth as well

When I grew up there was no shortage of lefthanded baseball bats, but a lefthanded baseball glove was nowhere to be found. So as a natural lefty I bat lefthanded throw right, so Harman looked proper to me. Seems there used to be a lot of bat left throw right in the bigs. Always figured they ran into the same situation as me.

Another great story from the Open was the 10th place finish by Royal Liverpool (3rd generation) member and qualifier Matthew Jordan.

From geoffshackelford.com:

He really is the Wirral Wonder.Matthew Jordan capped off a dream week with a final hole birdie and T10 Open finish where he’s played since boyhood.
“It was just the perfect finish to what has been the most unbelievable week,” he said. “Just rolling that in, I just so wanted to knock it in just for everyone who's supported me, just to go mental one last time and crazy. They stuck with me even in the rain like this.“To be able to do it for them and have that kind of ultimate feeling, as it were, to birdie the last at my home course at The Open is just brilliant.”The finish earns him a spot in the 152nd at Royal Troon and $308,400.
Jordan was unaware of the top 10 finish exemption he will receive into next year’s Open.“It didn't really cross my mind,” he said. “I didn't know exactly what my finish was, which again, is just another thing, holing that putt on the last is just a massive bonus.”The 27-year-old one-time Walker Cupper’s fine play could easily be chalked up to knowing Royal Liverpool better than any player in the field. But such intimate knowledge of every single spot of bother could have been a massive detriment. So could finishing last in driving distance with a 269.2 average. But nothing phased Matthew Jordan in a performance that made Hoylake proud.
