    Seen it with the likes of Koepka and Rahm today, thinking they can take on this golf course, even in these benign conditions. Rahm just knocked one OOB. Far too aggressive. I'd take the likes of a steady eddie Zack Johnson over those big power guys any day.

    Dont think we'll see Sandy again, what a way to go with a birdie on 18 at Carnoustie! When he played in his first Open, Fred Daly and Bobby Locke were in the field. Some journey.

    Langer would be some man at 60 odd to make the cut.

    Yes indeed. Shame that Lyle is the only one of the late 70s to mid 90s European golden generation of himself, Seve, Faldo, Langer and Woosnam who never got a crack at the Ryder Cup captaincy.

    Shane Lowry has dropped one and looks like he won't make the weekend now. Paul Dunne is flirting with danger on -2 with two to go.

    Supposedly it was his walk off during the 2008 Open at Birkdale that cost him the captaincy. Either way, it was a shocking omission and rather a shame on those that allowed it to happen.

    Four shots gone in two holes. I would think it`s highly likely.

    Make that six shots in three holes. At this rate he won`t make the cut.

    Rahm is having a mare. Pushed his drive right on the 9th and looked like he was going to snap his dirver in half and someone in the gallery calls out: "you need it". :D

    Good news is that Paul Dunne has made it to the weekend. Bad news is Shane Lowry is gong home.

    Starting to look as if John Rahm will be joining him. Six shots dropped in three holes. :eek:

    Some 3 from Spieth there. Kind of thing that could set a guy off a run and conditions perfect out there.

    Army golf! Havent heard that in a while :) Not much future in that in fairness, seems to be getting decent lies though, maybe he'll claim he was just plotting his way around the golf course ;)

    Spieth can't seem to hit a fairway off the tee no matter what weapon he's wielding. Can't seem to miss a putt though. :)

    Edit: Cut has moved out to +3.

    Why do all the players refer to themselves as 'we' when they're being interviewed, such as "we hit a bad tee-shot on 6...". Is it like the royal 'we' that Queen Victoria was famous for?
    Jordan Speith was the first I heard doing this a few years back; now they're all at it.
    I don't know why this irritates me, but it does.

    The see it as a team of themselves and their caddy.

    No different than in football when a player says "we scored", only one of them scored.

    Is the we not about decisions they made ie the player and the caddy if is about shots its probably just carried over from that
