NFT: Open Championship Round 1 Discussion

Danny Kanell : 7/17/2019 8:34 pm

Starts at 1:30AM ET tonight. One of my favorite events of the year. This course looks incredible.

Who ya got? And who are your sleepers?

I like Molinari, Xander and Justin Thomas. I have a feeling Keopka struggles. I think Tiger is in for a rough few days also. The weather will be a challenge.

Koepka gets no respect

How do people keep under estimating him....he might struggle, but I am believer

Is like to see one of the locals win it

figgy2989 : 7/17/2019 8:58 pm : link

Rory or McDowell, would make for a good story line.

I like..

FatMan in Charlotte : 7/17/2019 9:45 pm : link

Fleetwood and Justin Rose

Always seems to be in the mix.

it's an obvious thing to say

English Alaister : 7/17/2019 11:27 pm : link

But Rory is the favourite. Shot a 61 on here as a 16 year old. Fleetwood and G-Mac both good shouts. The South Africans tend to be strong on the links courses also.

Dustin Johnson

The_Boss : 7/17/2019 11:38 pm : link

Or Beef Johnston.

Don't sleep on Jon Rahm.

Rory will either walk away with it, or as usual his putting will get in his way. His big advantage is homefield and the weather. If they get some good old windy, rainy Irish weather he's the guy.

I go with Koepka as the lead dog, followed by Rory and Rahm.

Well Rory doesn't even look like he's going to make the cut

More than any other tournament, The Open is...

Crispino : 7/18/2019 6:58 am : link

so difficult to predict. The weather, the courses, the field itself is so different from the norm. I have no idea who will win. Rory seems like the likely favorite I guess.

David Duval took a 15 on the ...

Crispino : 7/18/2019 7:28 am : link

seventh hole. Ouch.

Rory four putted a par 3. Missed one from less than a foot.

Crispino : 7/18/2019 10:12 am : link

Now +5.

Tigers back

dep026 : 7/18/2019 10:13 am : link

Looks hurt after his first shot.

Rory is going to enjoy

dep026 : 7/18/2019 10:22 am : link

His homecoming being at home this weekend. He may shoot 80!

Since tiger woods first shot

dep026 : 7/18/2019 10:34 am : link

They have not shown Koepka or Spieth.

Horrific coverage. Too much Tiger. I don�t need to see him walking to his ball.

He winced as a reaction to missing the first fairway with an iron. He�s fine.

What was the sequence that got him to 15?

I like Tiger but I don't want to see him all the damn time.

My bad. Duval has a 13, not a 15.

Crispino : 7/18/2019 11:11 am : link

He shot 90 today.

Brooks is just a machine

figgy2989 : 7/18/2019 11:57 am : link

Dude just cranks it up for majors.

He made a comment earlier this week where he rarely plays practice rounds for regular tournaments, which would explain why he doesn't really win too many of those.

And as a type this, another birdie for him, now tied for the lead.

I'm going with

Old Dirty : 7/18/2019 12:21 pm : link

Keopka, Rahm, and Kuchar as my top 3

I think Phill needs to join the Champions Tour

Jints in Carolina : 7/18/2019 12:44 pm : link

He is lost.

CRISPINO, IN YOUR DEFENSE, IT WAS ORIGINALLY SCORED A 15, CHANGED TO A 13 AND CHANGED AGAIN TO A 14. APPARENTLY DUVAL PLAYED SOMEONE ELSE'S BALL.

Fleetwood and Rose are in the Top 10 right now.

Course is playing a bit easier for the early group today.
