Mickelson came this close to shooting a majors record 62 in the first round of The Open. His birdie putt on 18 somehow lipped out.

Looked like it hit a footprint! Great round for Lefty.

Yep. There's nothing else he could have done to get that to go in. It was on line and dead center with a half a foot to go. The golf gods put right turn on it.

 

That's the third time a 62 in a major was spoiled by a lip-out. Jack Nicklaus had one of them, but his putt attempt was a flat-out miss. He said today that Phil was "stone-cold robbed."

The British Open is my least favorite tournament because Paulina Gretzky will have more clothes on.

British Weather..Bollocks

Another point: The camera man does not choose what airs. They point and shoot.

 

Like the cameramen at baseball games, in between batters, when they keep zooming back to a certain hottie in the stands?

 

A certain county (Nottinghamshire) here in the U.K. has passed a motion that any Leering, Lewd Comments, Wolf-Whistling, Random Touching (Groping) etc will be seen as a "Hate Crime" and therefore a criminal offence . The above my friends would also come under the hate crime umbrella.. it aint just Baseball either, from what i've seen, they all do that. I think i just lost interest in televised sport. LOL !

The big four of hate crime: Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Benny Hill.

The British Open is my least favorite tournament because Paulina Gretzky will have more clothes on.

The like should have been for Paulina but was actually for your use of "British Open."

 

If any Europeans happen to see this, do you folks realize if we were to actually refer to this great major as The Open, noone, including casual golf fans, would have any idea what we are talking about.

Fierce cross winds reeking havoc with early-start golfers so far this morning. Any Moving Day action likely to be in the wrong direction.

 

Will Phil hang on?

JB Holmes making an early move with 3 birdies in the first 5 holes.

Crazy... it's the middle of July and they're wearing wool caps... and gloves between shots

And still making shots! The two leading 'Sons (Sten- and Mickle-) are playing great!

Well, the easy stuff is over. Stenson already giving strokes back, falling behind a stroke to Phil. 11 and 10 under, respectively. Edited July 16, 2016 by goose

The difference in front 9 scores and back nine scores is unbelievable

Yet Stenson and Mick doing fine, countering bogies with birdies to stay under par for the day.

 

One stroke seperates them through 17...

Phil's par save on the 12th, after his tee shot nestled up against a bush, was a masterpiece from the master of scrambling.

YES! Agree. When did we go from calling it 'The British Open' to 'The Open' ??

I must have been asleep when the memo came out

The Open Why not make it even more British...

'The Oh, Good seeing you old chap, use proper grammar now, we now refer to it as The Open'

Phil had some great par saves. Only one putting yips hiccup...which sadly is the difference right now.

The R&A has been pushing their broadcast partners for many years not to include "British" in the name and heavily pushed The Open Championship for many years, now its just The Open, which is very confusing in the US.

 

Especially here in NY, where most will think you're referring to the tennis tournament at Flushing Meadows.

Frigging Phil. Throws a dart at 1, almost chips in on 2...

He's quite unhappy with his missed birdie putt on #8. That was one of his easier putts.

[Principled Man]

Stenson and Mickelson are on FIRE!! Their shots are laser accurate!!

 

What a GREAT slugfest......:ebert:

[Principled Man]

CLUTCH par save by Mickelson on 12. Two bad shots erased by a brilliant putt.

[Lost In Xanadu]

What a putt by Stenson!

[goose]

What a putt by Stenson!

Back to back snakes! What an exhibition.
