Anybody watching? There's some pretty good golf being played on a golf course that looks like a gravel alley. Even Tiger is having a good day.

With the wind finally waking up, it opens up quite a few scenarios for what I think will be a playoff finish.

And as usual...The Open venue looks like a worn out dog track.
Without a decent amount of rain prior to the start, they turn uuugly in a hurry.

It's a good one this year for sure.

Wow, it looks like Molinari has the win. He's been on fire lately.

Great tournament, I love Links Courses.
Molinari has had a fantastic year and kudos for a great job today/week.
Tiger had a good week albeit the back nine was not optimal.
Cool

He's the first Italian to win the claret jug. He'll be a hero for a long time in his home country.

I like watching good players play a Links. For me, wide and flat is much more conducive to a good scoreBig Grin

He's the first Italian to win ANY major golf title, and he deserved it! Not a single bogey on the weekend, really amazing on that course!

I like playing them as there are no woods to hit into and usually no water (or very little). Smile

I didn't realize that until the announcers were discussing his round after he was done. That was an amazing round.

It is rare to describe golf as an horse race but that was a great final round. Lots of movement on the leader board, surges, shortfalls, lipped cups, accurate hits on the green. Molinari did good to play almost mistake-free today.

Caught some of each round or the rebroadcast.

Very enjoyable tournament to watch and a great finish today.
