19th Hole (Golf)

[Mick Mac]

Couldn't find the old thread, but anyway

Can Rory keep it going? Great round yesterday but got the best of the weather.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Gets best of weather today apparently. Ditto Woods. Woods lurking is a danger. Wonder how Rory's 2nd round slump will be today...getting a bit of a mental thing IMO.

[Mick Mac]

Indeed HMB, he has second round syndrome. Hopefully not today though.

[????]

My bets all look useless, so I'm going to watch and enjoy

[Mick Mac]

Rory has settled the nerves after a bogey start and leads the field on -7. Go Rors.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

6 shot lead MM. Reckon he can keep the head and win tomorrow? Hope so.

[Mick Mac]

Oh yes HMB. Would be a major disaster if he didn't

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Will settle in for his 14.30 tee off. May even have a wee glass of wine. Hope he holds it together.

That bunker shot has done for Sergio...

[fernado]

...and his feeble effort at 17 has sealed it. Good round from him, though. Congrats Rory.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Yep...all over bar the shouting. Well done. Wonder what the boy a few holes back got lifted for. Rory pointed him out to the Feds/ Stewards.

Then it looked like Sergio was away into the crowd to pagger somebody (comfort break apparently). All went a bit strange...

[fernado]

Hooting & hollering ad infinitum, I think. Excess ale etc.

[red devil]

Well done Rory...and Mick's betting kitty

Great back nine by Rory under extreme pressure. Well on his way to being a golfing great.

Not scintillating golf from him today but he never looked like being headed and the finish yesterday made today easier.

[Mick Mac]

Apparently the fan had been disrupting McIlroy all day and another was ejected for hassling Garcia.

Another fine performance from Rory this week.

From world number 8 to world number 1, a world golf championship and a third major, all within a few weeks.

Quite remarkable as DC would have said.

Great golf bores of our time. Major Titherly Gibble explains that women don't exist in the laws of golf - something the Armed Response Unit is happy to point out to any woman who fails to grasp this simple fact.

Rorys caddie has done well over the last few weeks. I wouldnt mind that job.

MM: You reckon he can carry on and win 3 in a row? Be some achievement that.

[Mick Mac]

Would be amazing HMB and yes I'm hoping he is "in the zone" - we shall see.

Sure the caddy has done well and he has been the one constant in Rorys golfing life over an up and down couple of years and shows Rory is capable of loyalty.

[Mick Mac]

Set up very nicely now with 5 tied at -12....an interesting nights viewing ahead.

Shaky start by Rory and it looks like Phil and Ricky might inspire each other.

[Mick Mac]

Rory needs to find another gear. Soonish.

And right on q - he did. Amazing back nine from Rory, showed he can raise his game even when faced with giving a 3 shot lead to a great of the game such as Phil. Amazing tournament and great achievement, 4 majors and counting.

Amazing golf and great TV. Rory's bringing his cups to OT this Saturday...

He is indeed bringing the Claret Jug, which he won in Liverpool :)

[red devil]

And he won't get pantomime booed either...GGRM :)
