Branden Grace certainly gave meaning to the phrase "moving day"!

Record low of 62 for a major.

Wonder if the leaders can follow suit..

Speiths to lose now but someone else chalking up a 62 will make things interesting

He's certainly started the final round poorly. He can't blow this can he?
3rd bogey in 4 holes as I type.
Wow!

 

[Super_horns]

Well he turned that around in the final few holes

Showed his class - will win many more (maybe catch up Tiger and Arnold Palmer?)

That was awesome after the 13th!

I can't stand Spieth the little manufactured prick, but having watched him up close on the Wednesday practice day he looked serious dialled in so the 16/1 on offer was an absolute no brainer! Some nice winnings to take Chester races in a couple of weeks now!

The experts did say this US open course would be very tough but not sure they expected such high scoring !!

 

[Super_horns]

Maybe we will have a British /European winner?

Dustin messing up big time .

Fair play to Richard Boxall on sky, he predicted all 8 pairings correctly yesterday.
Let's hope his other prediction is correct too as he predicted 4 nil to Europe!

Thinking with heart rather than head?

What is French for "Get in the hole"!

Entrer dans le trou. Hasn't quite got the same effect.

Europe fighting back well in the afternoon session after USA dominated the Fourballs.

Molinari and Fleetwood look like they are building a good partnership.

Mickelson and Woods not turned to the party as seems to be the case in the Ryder Cup.

 

[Ciderup]

A sense of deja vu this morning until Fleetwood stepped up a la Poulter. I was dreading 4 nil again.
Looking good now though.
I reckon I could give Mickelson a game TBH and I'm crap. He's totally off his game by the looks of it. Watch him storm back though, it won't be the first time he's done it.

Mickleson came into this Ryder cup in absolutely awful form, nice to see him embarrass himself in the Ryder cup this afternoon as I can't stand him.

Fleetwood will be a key player for team Europe for years to come imo, really like the look of Rahm too.

The Ryder Cup is actually taking place very close to where I was born. My mum's uni friend's daughter's husband is Fleetwood's caddie. Small world.

Couldn't give a toss about the actual sport though.

 

[Super_horns]

10-6 then .

Ours to lose but USA will be pretty strong in the singles .

Watched the majority of the tournament since Friday. Although I don't really follow golf (watch a bit of the majors especially our Open) I enjoy this one. really enjoying it.

 

[Super_horns]

Almost there - 2 points needed .

Be fitting if Garcia wins the Cup and breaks the European record .

 

[Leo]

Great result....thoroughly enjoyed the three days.

 

[Super_horns]

Looks like an Irish winner of the Open - but not the one bookies expected !

Lowry was 45/1 on paddy power before the open started. I went each way on him and went for Rahm to win at 14's. I'm regretting that decision now.
Sensational performance by Lowry and a bloody good one from Tommy Fleetwood.

Well done to Matt Fitzpatrick on his first golf major success.

On the same course where he won the US Amateur Championship a few years ago.

Obviously likes that particular course!
