Spieth has just gone from dead cert to outsider!! Shocking. Big ask for him to get it now.

Wow at Westwood!!!

Fucking hell. I came so close to putting a tenner on Willett at 66-1 on Wednesday. Only thing that stopped me was i couldn't remember my log on and decided I best not waste the money. Still hope he wins

Came up short on the par 3 tee shot, then absolutely duffed the next shot straight in the drink.

What a turnaround, no certainties in sport, hopefully Leicester will do a Speith. Hope Danny holds on.

Great for Willett. Played the best round today and took his chance.

Spieth has now gone 2nd, 1st, 2nd? Sponsored by under armour. Maybe the league is ours next season!! Unless Leicester can collapse like he did today.

I love it when our boys go over there and duff up the Yanks in their own back yard.

Good to see Muirfield moving with the times today by voting against having female members.

Idiots.

Anyway...no more Open for them it seems. Good work chaps.

They needed 2/3 majority and they got 64% so was very close, will not be long before the membership rules change

On the same note the Open is at Troon this year and it doesn't allow female members also, Troon and Muirfield the only 2 clubs remaining that don't

I think Troon had that lined up a while ago so presumably they are saying they can't take it away from them once granted (not sure I agree but presumably that is the logic).

As for Muirfield, wasn't this vote at the end of a 2 year consultation period? Doesn't sound like something they'll be able to overturn quickly!

Silly old duffers.

I understand the sentiment but in the end it is a private members club and they are allowed to be a men only club just as Women only clubs are legal.
I, like you, have been of the opinion that it is wrong not to allow women to belong to any club that men can belong to, however as I mature(get older) I realise more and more that men should be allowed to have exclusivity as long as that right is extended to women as well.
I love the company of women, I always have, but there are times when I need some man time, it is different and important and I wonder if we need to move on from forced sexual integration.
I apologise if this ought to be part of a separate thread as I don't want to derail the golf thread, so I'll step back and await the brickbats that are bound to come my way.:unsure:
