Favorite telecast of the year.
Peacock is balls out with coverage.

How to watch the British Open on TV

No photos of the seventh at Pebble?

Wouldn't surprise me to see Molinari go back to back, he's that mechanically sound and you don't have to putt that great in the Open. Thank goodness for DVR, now I don't have to wake up on Sun and catch them at hole 15.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

It's at a course I've never seen the Open played at before. It'll be interesting. (I hope it's not a T_p owned course.)

The Open hasn't been played there since 1951. Nice to mix it up.

Oh.............OK.

Your 1951 winner at Portrush, Max Faulkner. Led by six shots going into the final round and legend has it he was signing autographs during the round that said, "Max Faulkner, 1951 Open Champion." Won by two shots.

If he won dressed like that, complete with coffin nail, I want his autograph right now.

That 1:30 a.m.-4 p.m. broadcast of the first two rounds is impressive. If anyone's on the couch for all of that, report back to the group.

Consider it done.

A co-favorite along with Augusta.

Held here for the first (and only) time since 1951. Hopefully, Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell will enjoy it a little more.

Be in Las Vegas for the final two rounds so I guess I'm setting an alarm.

You sleep in Vegas?

You sleep in Vegas?

You do when you’re there for work and hate that city to begin with.

It’s Open week!

Like most, I know nothing about this course since it’s been decades since it’s hosted the Open (1951).

I like Jon Rahm (14-1) and Justin Rose (20-1).

Can’t see Woods being a factor with his long layoff. He’s only played three times since the Masters. I get he’s trying to keep his back healthy. But seems like too much time off.

 

[Chef2]

As much as I would like to see Rory win this, I don't think he does.
Rose has good value at 20/1.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Stenson putted like a 15-handicapper at the Scottish Open and still finished T-4. Was it a bad weekend on the greens, or has he caught a putting disease? If the former, I like his chances.

 

[Alma]

They’ll score well I know that. Weather permitting of course. When you have dunes framing most holes, you give pros a lot of landmarks. Fits a lot of eyes.

Tee times out.

Tee Times for the 148th Open at Royal Portrush - The 148th Open

I figured they'd give McDowell the honor of the first ball, but it's Darren Clarke.

Good on Beef Johnston for getting in.

Tiger and Patrick Reed? Jesus Christ.
