Apparently Koepka "pointed to an imaginary watch in the direction of the referee" as Holmes was taking forever over a putt earlier on.

I can't see the butcher boy holding his nerve tomorrow.
He buckled in 2016.
Tomorrow's weather could be a challenge.

87 for Holmes.... that's averaging one shot every 2.3 hours i think.

Gaah, the sound is a couple about 10 seconds ahead of the image for me on NOW TV (Sky online)! :P

FixdePitchmark

i feel strange .

Deeper Blue

JB only 5 shots better than Duval on Thursday

Road-Hog

Can anyone clarify why the media continue to insist on calling the ‘British open’....’the open’........imperialist arrogance....??

FixdePitchmark

I was told once that is because it's the first Open.

Ehh......I kinda know that but the mejia including the Irish media hardly ever refer to it as the ‘British open’....? A bit like they insist on addressing Cnuts like ‘Alex ferguson’ as ‘sir alex’...

FixdePitchmark

Fred Daly was the first Irish winner of the Open as far back as 1947.
