British Open - Lets Go Rocco

[scotty96LSC]

I know there has to be a few golf fans out here. The third major of the year is lead by KJ Choi at the half-way point. I'm pulling for Rocco to get that one major he was so close to getting last month. Of course there was a guy named Tiger Woods who had other ideas.
Lets go Rocco.

Rocco has my well-wishes also.

I can't think of a golfer from Italian stock that has ever done well. But maybe the beer clouds my memory?

Enlighten me if you know different, anyone.

I have always liked Rocco. I'd love to see Rocco, Norman and Duval late Sunday.

Now wouldn't that be something? What a gem for the PGA if that happens. A round of Grey Goose and Bitters for all.

[iJohnHenry]

Just minute, let's not get carried away here.

Rocco, and even Robert, yes. Greg, meh.

I hope for better then a PGA crowd at the top, come Sunday.

I'd like Monty of course, but I'm realistic and it's not going to happen. So in that case, I'm hoping for a repeat performance from McDowell who won the Scottish Open at Loch Lomond last weekend.

looks like the weather is going to play a big part today. Those going out later could have it a little better

Would have like to see Justin Rose win this year but doesn't look like that will happen. Still I think he's got a major or two in him.

Oh and watch out for Ian Poulter (and not just what he is wearing) only 4 shots off the lead


Weather forecast for Royal Birkdale for today

[scotty96LSC]

I can't believe the wind is so strong that it is moving the ball when players get ready to putt. What a mental drain.
+4 or 5 may have the lead going into the final round.

[scotty96LSC]

Norman +2. Harrington 2 back. Rocco 6 back and still in it.

[wordmunger]

Let's go Norman! Wow, what a performance in extremely difficult conditions. Norman versus Harrington will be an excellent matchup tomorrow.

I would swear that Norman played the wind today when he made a crooked putt. Not sure what hole it was, only a few holes from finish, the one where he stumbled in the wind as he retrieved his ball from the hole.

[scotty96LSC]

Another day of survival. No one can make any kind of run here. And where's Rocco?
Ian Poulter looks the best right now, even in those pink pants.

[Tilpots]

Those conditions are ridiculous. I hope the Shark can hold on...

[spork183]

The shark is +5 through 11. Conditions ugly, hope he pulls through. Much as I like Rocco, gotta pull for Norman. Rocco has a lotta years left.

[scotthayes]

Poulter is looking good with two to go but in these conditions really wouldn't like to call it.

[Tilpots]

If Poulter can get in the clubhouse at +7, he's going to be hard to catch.

[scotthayes]

Wakefield on +10 through 13 isn't looking to bad either.

And Greg has just stuck his drive on the 13th into a bunk, could this be the end of Greg's Championship???

Still, at this moment in time, money has to be on Harrington retaining the Claret Jug.

[Tilpots]

Looks like Harrington's got it locked up if he makes this eagle putt.

[scotty96LSC]

Eagle putt goes down and Jug goes up. Well Played Paddy.

[scotthayes]

Fantastic last few holes by Harrington... The ladybirds have a home for another year :D

[Tilpots]

See you all in a few weeks for the PGA!

[scotty96LSC]

It'll be Tiger-less but it will still be a great major.

[scotthayes]

and not forgetting the Ryder Cup in September. Of course I'm predicting another super win for Europe.

[scotty96LSC]

U. S. A. ! This is our year for the Ryder Cup.
