He played unimaginative, negative golf in his approach play pretty much all day. Whether that was through an inability to hit his irons in range for birdie chances or an unwillingness to risk a mistake is essentially moot. He didn’t do it and it cost him. Hovland was exactly the same. They had the two worst rounds of anyone in the top 18, and only Scott and Kim had similarly bad in the top 20. They only have themselves to blame. Even Scott was -4 through 10, before imploding on 12 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser_soze Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 As far as my bets go had £2 e/w on DJ at 33/1 which is in, also had £2 e/w on Ancer at 100/1 top 11 which will be split I'd expect, the £1 e/w on Sam Horsefield and £2 e/w on Willy Z are gone, still should be a tasty couple of beers profit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I like Cam, but maybe a wee clap or mention of the amateur winner in his speech. Appreciate his head is probably all over the shot but would have been nice to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabGaz Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Trophy presentation ruined by the old duffer hanging on to Smith and the claret jug for far longer than necessary. Five seconds for the photos then out of the way old man!. Edited July 17, 2022 by ArabGaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 For me McIlroy and Hovland both got caught up in a don’t make errors scenario in their head to head. Rory just didn’t hole the putts. His lag putting was very sound but he didn’t convert his chances. Smith a worthy champion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Smith looks like he’s genuinely completely gobsmacked. A cliche you hear a lot is ‘it won’t really sink in until tomorrow’ - in his case I genuinely don’t think it has sunk in, and won’t until he wakes up tomorrow and sees the claret jug on the bedside table. McGinley still looking like someone just shat in his mince. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had.....a club pro from Madrid. 77. I've worked in golf for over 20 years mate. Amazingly enough you do meet professional golfers. All the time. Americans often bring their club pro as it happens. It's not that I'm a fantasist, it's just you don't know anything about golf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met hundreds of pros of every level and those three are the three they talk about. Also Dornoch gets good press. But fair enough I'm not positioned to police your opinion. Never played either of those but Pitreavie I've been meaning to get to for a while just not got round to it. Also Lundin is good, well worth a visit. Leven next door too. I don't know where you live but I played a course in Glasgow once called East Renfrew and it was excellent. Would highly recommend. Very friendly too. Royal Dornoch is probably the best course in Scotland. Never seen it but it's very popular with tourists and gets really good reviews from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Thar run of birdies by Smith on the back nine was excellent but it's worth remembering he only shot 34 on the front nine. If Rory had been a bit more positive on that front nine and gone out in 33 or 34 he'd have been well ahead and I'm not sure that in that scenario Smith does what he did. Basically, Rory's poor front nine gave the likes of Smith and Young encouragement they were still in the hunt despite relatively ordinary front nines of their own. He must be absolutely kicking himself just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
