Golf Thread [2017: The Open at Royal Birkdale]

Very incredible last few holes of golf. It was intense when Sergio and Rose has separated themselves from the field. It was basically match play from the 14th on! I think the turning point was on 13, maybe. Sergio had to take a penalty and I believe he saved par and if not would had fallen three back.
 
Congrats to Sergio. I wasn't able to watch any of it but so glad for him to finally win a big one.
 
What were you talking about? The fiasco on 13?

After that he went birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie, par. One of the best major finishes I've ever seen.

A back 9 for the ages right there. He looked absolutely lost out there through 13. Then, he had enough and rattled off some top notch golf.

Best putter I've ever seen and its not real close.

He's probably not the best putter to be honest. He is probably the best at long putters, but he's not near the best in short to intermediate putts. It just look good with him rolling in long ones.

Some of Tiger's putts still amaze the hell out of me.

Speith is 36th in strokes gained putting. Granted, if there was a 40 foot putt to win, I would probably take him over anyone.

What he's elite at is approach shots. He doesn't drive the ball far or very accurate at all, but he is the best at getting the ball on the green.
 
Ernie Johnson, Jr. is a solid anchor and I really like him, but I think they could find an ex-golfer who could keep the the conversation more clued into golf.
