Yes - BBC reporting it was originally recorded as an eight - then amended to a 15 before finally settling on a 13 .. how the hell does that happen?

Dream start for Duval, birdie, birdie straight out the traps. Pity about the snowman on #5, and then the 13!
Davie,
I saw that he hit three tee shots and was then penalised for playing the wrong ball. Apparently the official with the group wasn't sure how many strokes he'd taken, so not surprising if there had to be an audit!

Bill Rogers at least chose to call it a day and exit stage left with good grace, never to return. (Still a good player in charity-type gigs though.)
Duval can't seem to make up his mind what he's doing - not much longer now for Kaymer to hang around, but he must be seething at Duval's abject performance.

Course looks amazing.
Crazy start for Rory but, as they say, if you are going to get behind do it early.

Rory has lost the ability to concentrate to the levels needed to beat players like Koepka.

How do you account for his Players win then?

Easy statement to make and difficult to rebut but I’m not so sure. It seems like he has put stupid amounts of pressure on himself despite anything he might be saying.
A good hour with the shrink tonight, a tweak to the driver swing and he’ll go out and shoot 3-4 under tomorrow and make the cut.
Absolutely nothing to suggest the Koepkas etc will be totally immune to the odd brain fart hole.

Guys. Just concede now, you know I was right. Can't even pitch back to the fairway.

+19 for Duval. Embarrassing really

Mac,
You have irrational hatred for some golfers; imagine you're apoplectic that Sergio had a nice round . . . . . . . .

79! Rory will not stop thinking about this round for the rest of his career and life. He knows he bottled it when it mattered most.

Starting to doubt whether Rory will ever add to his 4 majors. Shockingly bad day for his career today.

Whoa -- we're talking about one of the most accomplished golfers of his era. One bad round does not a career define. Mikelson and Scott had similar outings today.

I very much doubt it, can't imagine where it would be.
But, if you can find an ESPN radio Station (they're everywhere), there'll be regular & frequent updates.

The word "overrated" is used way to much in the modern era, but to me, Rory is the perfect example of an overrated player - by its true definition.
No he's not awful - can be extremely talented - but the hype surrounding him is way out of proportion to what he delivers. Possibly the most overrated player in world golf

Mickelson is nearly 50 years old and way past his prime
Scott has a solitary major and isn’t in the same class
This was a woeful day for Rory in front of his own fans.

The way I see this is that it isn't just one round but the culmination of 5 years of major woe. He hasn't coped well at the masters since the grand slam was on and has now crumbled when playing well would have meant more to him than ever before.
Unfortunately Davies assertion that he is overrated could be right, at least based on Rory's last half decade of play. What came before that was unreal.

At one point I don’t think he was overrated, beginning to think he may be now though, not because of today, as others say one bad round does not a career define.
It’s hard to say somebody with that much talent is overrated...where it becomes relevant is his headspace. I do get the impression he has put way way too much expectation on himself (even if the early majors justified it). I think he now has to mentally reinvent himself. To compare him and Michelson is a bit of a conundrum as Mickleson won most if not all his majors post 30.

Thanks Kwini, the PGA station on SiriusXM is streaming the Open Radio coverage so that will explain why it isn't available via the Open app over here.
I've got TalkSport2 on which isn't geo-restricted like 5Live is.
Looking forward to the weekend when I can get watching the coverage.
This is my 1st year Stateside so it's weird to wake up at 6am and have missed 6 hours of play!!

Commentators agreeing with Supers earlier post that Tiger might be carrying an injury or his back is “tight”. They are wondering if he’ll give up or not appear tomorrow.

Re: The Open Championship 2019 - Shane Lowry!!!
I can't get my head round how rory is overrated. His career? Just at the current moment, in that he shouldn't be a favourite, even though he is number 3 in the world?
Now, his career may have peaked at 4 majors and some wgc wins. But his career is still better then almost everyone who has played pro golf.
If he doesn't win another major, has he underachieved? He cant underachieve and be overrated.
My views, is players are hitting heights earlier, and therefore falling away earlier.
He was Poopie today though.

The Open Championship is allegedly being broadcast here in the USA. But it is more like Commercials with a smattering of golf shots.
This is the worst I have seen Golf Channel and NBC. It's been terrible.
Shocking from Rory, and Duval.

I love Ryan Fox's round: 39 + 29 = -3
Scores are out there, however much those overrated hackers like Phil & Tiger would have you believe.

Its all Europe innit .What about Ajax .This is why I'm not doing the Thursday pub quiz
I'm going on a bit now but Leicester played Bruges couple of years back in the CL and I went to the game with my Netjets golf cap on.2 Bruges fans came up and explained that a netjet in their lingo is in fact cleaning lady.So when you order a jet to Monaco it is likely a lady may turn up to give your flat a tidy up.

Spieth goes birdie, birdie, eagle to move within one of the lead - looks like the wind is down for the early starters, opportunity to shoot a decent score.
