Open Championship 2018 Final Round

PHIL is out and at -1 today he has moved up a bit--maybe he birdies #6 todat?

Phil should have aimed for the bunker on 6th all week and maybe he'd have hit the fairway. Lol

As day processing we will see less and less of 8 9 10 are online but thsts it.

Phil playing partner is -3 thru 6 . The start Phil needed . Top 10 going to be tough.

Geesh, tired of watching all these people make crazy putts and Phil missing. Get your eyes checked Phil, or take putting lessons from Zack Johnson

Even Bernard Langer is lapping Phil

Three birds and two bogies--typical PHIL hanging in there but not soaring this week

That's a bit better, -2 today, -3 total. Maybe 1 more birdie to finish?

Tiger getting Kisner to drop 2 strokes....geesh, if he should win, my head will explode from the endless news that would be broadcast for weeks.

Ugh, Phil drops one instead of picking up another.

it's over. Phil's 3 behind his playing partner now. He needed Pepperel's round to have a chance

He may top 10 though

Kisner dropped another, now it's Speith & Zander... I'm routing for Zander, would have liked Kisner of the bunch....definitely not Speith, he's too 'whiney' imo and wouldn't want his head to explode from any more major wins.

Crap, Phil needs to make that 8-10 footer just for a par.

Bogie, just like the rest of the tournament.

At moment -3 is top 10. Phil was -3 with 3 holes left.
So disappointed! !!

Well, I'll go play a round later, hope to beat my wife.  We tied yesterday at 86 each. She's been on a tear lately, shooting something like 6 of last 7 rounds in the 80's. She's getting so competitive lately, I've caught her keeping track of how far ahead/behind she is to me mid-back nine, and saying "humph, when I hit a good shot and saying "now you'll likely tie/go ahead of me", lol. I've been doing better since going back to my steel iron shafts (KBS 90-Tour, 102-gm, stiff...always thought the "90Tour" meant they were 90-gms until I looked up specs)....dang fitter who tried to fit me into 68-gm graphite regular with soft tips; yea, they're 2 clubs longer, but would have to learn to play a snap hook like Bubba Watson to play them, lol.

bulls think it's great you play golf with your wife.
Last time I played with my husband he didn't actually play ...just sat in cart and I had to putt / tend flag myself. Lol !!

Phil hit 33% of fairways this week and 66% GIR. Not gonna win with those stats.

Looks like everyone is handing the championship to Tiger. Typical !

Well, my wife's parents played golf and she got me my first set of clubs when we were dating way back around 1982.  In Oklahoma, you can golf in winter (temp may be 70*F or 20*F, lol), and often she drags me out in colder weather than I'd prefer and I'm thinking 'what am I doing out here'? and she's loving it, go figure.... But she got fitted for new clubs last year and more recently new Ping driver and I've watched her hit to distances she never even sniffed before. She's got confidence now to use irons over the 'big pong' or on the par3 instead of power-blasting a hybrid through the green....and she's quick to point out if I forgot a stroke on my score ("...bogie?, don't you mean double?, remember the miffed stroke way back there?..."oh, yea"). We play together about 95% of the time except for the few times I play the MGA and she plays the lady tournaments, and she plays with the ladies after work on Thursday.

Come on Zander, you can do it!!, lol. He's got more poise than most rookies.

Those greenside bunkers that look like you used an apple corer to core them out of the ground... what is the purpose of having grass growing on the vertical edges? (how do they mow those?)

Speith with double! Zander vs Tiger, it's on

Wow, now Zander, gee, you couldn't ask for any better. Not the same when Phil & the Swede ran away from the rest of the competition.

I hope Tiger can pull this off, it will be so good for golf.
