goose Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Morikawa dodges a bullet at 14 with a bold approach rom 189yds that just gets over the left greenside bunker. It somehow sits on the green left of the flag, Morikawa just misses the try for birdie, gets the tap in par. Oostie misses his attempt at a scramble par, drops to -10. It's a two-man race now. Morikawa at -14 and safely off the 15th tee, and Spieth now sitting just one stroke back after a nice birdie just ahead on the par 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Morikowa, but Spieth was down by five earlier and I love a good comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Morikowa, but Spieth was down by five earlier and I love a good comeback.Morikawa got his bird on the par 5, so he's up two with four to go. He just hit a drive that skirted the fairway bunkers, while Spieth shorted his tee shot on the par 3 16th. Running out of holes... Hold on! Morikawa pulls his approach into the greenside junk. It ain't over yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Morikawa runs it ten feet by, then holes the comebacker! That's two clutch par saves he's made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Spieth just missed a makeable birdie putt on 17. Down by two, he needed that one. Morikowa isn't going to collapse on the last few holes, so I think he's got this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the British press is giving him grief for calling it the "British Open".I think there's slowly an acceptance - whisper it - that Britain might not be the centre of the universe after all. The Masters doesn't need clarification but nor does The Open to me - as the best two tournaments in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 First round of FedEx cup playoffs starts tomorrow, The Northern Trust! I'll be a marshal on the 14th hole - the signature hole with the Statue of Liberty in perfect view. Par 3. I'll be there tomorrow for Pro Am and then Friday and Sunday. Seriously, look for me on TV, apparently there's a TV tower at our hole with the almighty Jim Nantz and Sir Nick! I'll be one of the few women - hair in a ponytail. Looking fierce with my hands in the air trying to tame the unruly crowd. (they actually do get quite unruly as they get drunker) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Last round postponed till Monday. I am SO BUMMED...can't get the day off. I saw Nick Faldo on Friday and said "well hello Sir Nick!" and he said hello back. It was cool. Anyway, a real bummer, I've been volunteering with this same crew for about 5 years now and this was our last one because this one won't be here next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 DeChambeau and Cantlay going at it today, with Cantlay getting the early upper hand. Bryson two back at -23 after Cantlay makes birdie at #5. That birdie caps a five-hole start of birdie-birdie-par-birdie-birdie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Through ten holes, Bryson has turned things around, making birdies while Cantlay has made bogie. Cantlay now one back at -24. This is a fun two-some,as the two have very different approaches to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 That`s a pretty good way to play the 12th, Bryson. And good matchplay Patrick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 On tge first playoff holes,, Cantlay nearly jars a beautiful flop from the rough above the hole. Bryson just misses his uphill birdie putt, so it's off to hols two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Don`t fancy Bryson now it has come to a "putt-off". That tense left arm... looks dodgy in these tense moments. (But I`ve been wrong before :eyeroll: ) Urrrggggggggghhhhh... what a mess. Edited August 29, 2021 by IbanezJem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
