Leaderboard is absolutely stacked with quality after day one. Such a shame it's going to be near impossible to stay up and watch it on Sunday night as it finishes just before I get up for work :ROFLMAO:

With how the leaderboard looks after day one I think we are going to be in for a treat with some high quality golf being played. Hoping for Rory to pull it out the bag.

Love it....golf thread and 'pull it out the bag'...clever.
I think you're right about Rory, his game is coming together at just the right time...could well be his competition but there's some quality opposition. I had a flutter on Justin Rose...don't know why but I just have a feeling....fingers crossed.

(y), Im hopeful on Rory & I think Rose is a great shout as when he's on song he is Mr consistent, I honestly couldn't give you a prediction as I think there will be quite a few big names in with a shout come Sunday.

Woodland with a brilliant back 9 last night. Shame about Rory making a bogey and double bogey after getting to 6 under but bounced back with 2 birdies to be 4 behind. Really think it's going to be his week again though. He looks so in control of his game, those 2 holes aside.

Rose looking solid too.

Going to be a great weekend

Think Rory might be out why we a double at the second.

That's 2 this week that he's made now. Hed be 2 back with 2 pars instead

Fair play to him too. Holding off the major machine amongst others. He stayed very calm throughout when I watched last night up to about the 8th hole

Woodland deserved that for not crumbling under pressure numerous times throughout the week, held some lovely puts to save par and aggressively attacked some birdies. Brooks is a machine though and will win many more majors.

Excellent effort from Woodland.

Given it was his maiden major, showed great resolve to stave off a very spirited attempt from Koepka.

That 3 wood from him deserved the title alone!
Under that much pressure and going for your first major, what a shot

Watched pretty much all that tournament, all 4 days and enjoyed every minute of it. The advantage of not having work to get up for the following morning.

Roll on Portrush. @spurs mental are you going?

Can't afford the time off work unfortunately mate. Might get lucky and blag a Saturday or Sunday ticket and if I do I'm there. You heading up?

Yeah there's 3 of us heading up on the Friday. That way we get to see all the players before the cut. We'll probably follow one group around in the morning and sit at whatever par 3 is closest to the finish in the afternoon and let them come to us. Or vice versa. It all depends on how the groups are set up. Really looking forward to it.
