The Open 2016

Still no bogies for Phil? That alone is amazing on that course in these conditions.

Kudos to The Golf Channel.

It was late yesterday, and I believe it was Scott Hernandez hitting his tee shot on the Par 3 14th, and Mike Tirico said to Johnny Miller, "You know what number that player is?". Johnny and I didn't know what he was talking about, and Tirico explained that was the 155th player they had shown during their two days of coverage. Chris Wood withdrew, but otherwise they had shown all 155 players over the two days of coverage. I was absolutely amazed.

Of course there are some things about The Golf Channel which can annoy, but that's not the purpose of this post.

On the whole, every other sport can only wish they had something equivalent to The Golf Channel.

I somewhat disagree. The Golf Channel was certainly great in the beginning, then NBC bought it and now broadcasts are inundated with commercials, bios, etc, and even updated with non-golf related nonsense. I find it unwatchable without DVR.......just sayin'

It's like a heavyweight fight.

It's like a heavyweight fight.

Even though they are tied for the day I feel like Stenson is playing better and Phil is about to fold. I'm rooting for Phil to take it down and I am postponing things I need to do today to watch this. I can't get away from it.

Wow! Phil is under serious pressure to make this putt after that bomb.

I'm rooting for Phil too.

That was some putt from Stenson on 15.

I don't understand why Phil didn't use his driver on 16, he needs eagle because birdie on 17 is unlikely. I guess anything can happen but Stenson is hitting everything near perfection.

 

[MadJack]

I guess that's why. Nice shot!

Stenson should have laid up. Now he could have trouble making par.

What a chip,

Ouch!

Another 2nd in a major for Phil. Does he have the record for that? Must!

Stenson deserves it. He played great golf today. Best golf I've seen in a long time.

I think he does, maybe Nicklaus has more

Yep. He definitely earned it.
