2023 Open - Royal Liverpool (Hoylake)

Two players have lost the open from this position

Shaky start but got settled and kicked on a bit further too.

The only thing hopeless here is your trolling 😉

It’s been a strange Open, from Harman to the absolute morons in the crowd. I’ve never heard as many clowns trying so hard to be funny. I’ve no issue with the albeit annoying shouts of “go on Tommy lad” every 5 seconds, he’s local and it’s injecting a bit of atmosphere at least, but the rest of the shouting is just stupidity.

Harman recovered brilliantly after a dodgy enough start today. 5 is a huge lead especially when he’s what i’d class as a conservative player anyway. He looks very cool and that putt on the last was massive this evening. Rahm could potentially put together another incredible round like he did today, but that’s a tall order and nearly everything dropped for in today. Harman has got very lucky over the first 3 days with some of his misses and some of his up and downs have been insanely good. It’s very rare a player gets away with it for 4 days straight so I do expect a wobble tomorrow but is his lead too big at 5? I don’t think so. Especially as it went to 2 shots fairly quickly earlier. We’ll see how he handles it tomorrow but multiple chasers need to get close to him early. I can see someone going -3 or -4 through the first 5 holes and I just hope it’s someone close enough to him to make a go of it because the atmosphere will be fairly flat if Harman comes out and starts knocking in birdies.

Harman back to -12, that's it over. One of the dullest Opens in some time in truth, and not just in terms of the weather.

Golf is full by its nature

You more admire the skill

And to win In such a dominant fashion is impressive

Yes golf at its best

Maybe once in 10 years

But it rarely happens because it's golf

Did you think say tiger or Rory lapping the feild was gripping

The Scottish open? Nonsense the winner stumbled to the win, he was almost emarry

This is better than that

Comprehensive wiping of the floor with the rest of the field

Ok. Whatever floats your boat I suppose. Though I would suggest the lack of activity on this thread tells its own story.

Fleetwood with a triple bogey on the par 3 16, puts him back to -3.

Bit of a damp "squid" but thoroughly deserved by Harman.

263 days to The Masters 😥

I want to be happy for Harman here because he’s such a solid player, but his slow play so frustrating! It’s like one of those .gifs on repeat when he’s wiggling the club at address, it’s goes on and on and on and…….! Drives me nuts!

Clash with the hurling final. Golf was never going to be the most exciting sporting event today 😁
