Seve did something like that on one of those “being filmed, having a chat, playing a round”.

So Seve, short par four, what will you take?

Wedge, driver.

You mean driver, wedge.

No.

And yes, he made the green.

Tommy Fleetwood leads the Open - no interview

McIlroy scrapes a par - wankfest

What gives?

In other news, Hoylake a beautiful course and part of the world

Apparently Gulf Harbour golf club is closing. Had a lot of fun playing there circa 2000.

They’re are few over-hyped sportsmen in world as McIlroy. I don’t get it.

It was a lovely golf course to play. I used to enjoy Formosa as well, but that's gone too

MajorStokes

@canefan good riddance to Formosa.

Played a few times for average round time of over 5 hours.

Oh snd lost around 2 balls an hour ….

Disappointing day for the kiwis at the Open.

I used to play midweek for supercheep at Formosa. I didn't think it was that bad.... Gulf Harbour was prettier. Auckland clearly can't support resort golf courses

@MajorPom yep, gonna be tough for them to make the cut.

Harman with a five shot lead in The Open.

Fox with the equal 2nd best round to make the cut

mariner4life

Yeah Harman's round really stands out

He had an amazing bit of luck chipping from the rough. Hit the flag pole and dropped within a few feet.

Previous hole missed a birdie from ~ five feet.

@canefan he has a deal with Hooters US, so no surprises he visits them in the UK

I just thought it was because he likes buffalo wings

taniwharugby

@mariner4life and now he sits 5 clear on -12 after 3 rounds.

Rahm, in 3rd sits 6 back on -6 after shooting 8 under, so he will be a threat if he can get going again, some quality behind Rahm too with Day, Fleetwood and Hovland on -5.

Fox had -2 to sit at +1 and move up into a T41st

Steady rain for the final day, but there appears to be very little wind. It should make it easier to keep balls in the fairway and the greens. Comms reckon the weather will pack in by the time the leaders start. So it might make things interesting

Harmon cruises to victory witha 1 under final round.

Fox T52 after a 3 over final round.
