Knox is already being treated as the invisible man in his 3 ball.

TBF a bogey, bogey start would do that. Hopefully he can bounce back. 

Edit to add McIlroy seems to be endlessly playing 2nd shots out of the long stuff. He`s only hit 20% of fairways thus far.

[Distant Doonhamer]

McIlroy has done really well to finish at -2 for a 69 given he barely hit a fairway (fairways hit 29%).

Feel mcilroy has to really score in calm weather as he won’t score in poorer conditions

I really think Tony Finau will win a Major soon.

The course is ridiculously burnt

I love it when it's like that.  That's how links courses are supposed to play.

Were you there today? Enjoy yourself?

[Fuctifano]

Going up tomorrow, first ever Open (or indeed pro golf event) for me, looking forward to it. First time in about 7 majors I haven't bet Grace,  so far it's looking like a wise choice.

Just for a wee while hopefully go for a bit longer tomorrow.  Didn't see much golf but great atmosphere.

[Distant Doonhamer]

Decent fightback by Knox to get back to +1 after 17 having been +3 at one stage but a little spoiled by a careless 3 putt for bogey on 18.

Tempted to go up for a bit tomorrow afternoon but going on holiday Saturday so not really wanting to spend £40 on a ticket. Easy to jump the fence?

I think it's more than 40.  Weekend is 90 so probably more than that.

He probably means an under 25s ticket, which is £40 and goes up to £45 for weekend. 

As for prices, at least you get a full day watching a sport's world elite play against one other. If you compare it to paying 20 odd quid to watch a Scottish football game for 90 mins then it's not terrible value.

That makes sense. Hadn`t realised there was an under 25`s ticket. Sadly I`m 30+ years too old for it.
