Rory hit every green in regulation and didn’t win. That is the sign of true putting issues. I think he needs to switch away from the spider. Needs a new look.
[/QUOTE]
He putted best with the fastback early on in his career. I’d go back to that
These words put together to summarize Rory’s 4 rounds at The Open are crazy.

Watching Golf Twitter having to cope is also glorious. It’s been a fun 2,896 days & counting, we get to do this again in April, super excited.
I was pulling for Rory (not completely sure why as I’ve never been a big fan) and I would have been happy to see Hovland win. I also liked Kisner’s Saturday round.
No question that Cam Smith played some great golf, but I just can’t warm up to the mullet and weedy mustache.

Did anyone see how many feet of putts Cam made today?

No but that 12 footer he made on The Road Hole clinging to a 1 stroke lead was stuff of legends.

Today proved Cam’s putting from Friday wasn’t a fluke. And no, Rory DID NOT CHOKE!
He did get a shellacking though…..
[/QUOTE]
Don’t think Rory choked? 44 players shot -3 or better when Rory shot -2…the course played easy today with a ton of birdie opportunity…hence why he lost/choked

Cam Smith is becoming what everyone hoped Rickie would be

Like I said he played great golf and didn’t flinch. His putting was fantastic.

I was joking. Not that his putting is a joke, but I can fully imagine him pulling away from the course in a T-Top Trans-Am with the bird painted on the hood. ?

Rory didn’t have a good rd and he still beat every current LIV golfer at The Open. Maybe that will offer him a bit of solace
Cam said his dad couldn’t make it, but said to tell Rory if you ain’t first you’re last!!

I’m watching the replays of the interviews and such, and I’m disgusted on how much the commentators talk about Rory losing and not Cam winning.
Great win for Cam….he was unstoppable. Unless of course just a couple of his shots were 3 yards to one side or another. It’s part skill and part crap shoot to win there.

Those bunkers are flat-out stupid. Yeah yeah, tradition, I get it but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re stupid.
I offer, if there was no such thing ever and a modern golf architect invented them for a course, what would we be saying about them?
Exactly 😉
Cam Young could’ve just as easily been at -22 or -23, if not for a few poorly executed shots.
Cam Smith gunning for number 1in the world! So happy for him, huge win. Massive earnings this year!

Doesn’t surprise me.
Only watched the front, the beach was calling me but that’s crappy to hear. Cam has more than done enough to prove himself, he’s closing in on world number 1. He’s not the longest or straightest, but man his irons wedges and putter are off the charts.
I have a question about Cams putting set up. When he’s getting himself aligned he puts his left hand on his thigh. Is this just part of his process or is there a reason for it? Does anyone know what that’s for? Is he setting up his club face than his feet or something else?

There have been a few players that have done this. I remember Villegas used to. I asked him at Doral one year and he said it was all part of his process.
Exactly two.

Voice sounds a little low and hoarse today.
Kind off the topic, but I can see Cam winning another Open before it’s all said and done.
Could he win the Masters using Zach Johnson method or have those days come and gone?

Can we expect to see a bunch of overweight 40 year old males rocking mullets and flat bills?
Couldn’t be happier for Cam, he’s so fun to watch and very easy to root for. His putting game is crazy too. My favorite player.

Wen can only hope.
Cam is going to win a lot of things before he gets done. I love this kid. Nothing flashy. His game is quiet and thought out. He just executes. I hope he had a case of XXX Golds on the flight home. I think he is very good for the game.

You’re in N Florida and haven’t seen mullets and flat bills?
I think Cam, Scotty and Xander are about to go on runs. All just needed that big win to get the confidence that they can finish and now they’re all going to get wins in bunches. Xander hasn’t won a major but he will. I feel like the Travelers win gave him the confidence that he can win on Sunday and he got that monkey off his back.

I know I live in Fruit Cove and play TPC Dye Valley every other week and have never seen flat bills or mullets on that course….. Especially combine. In fact I usually wear an MLB 56 fifty hat which is a MLB flatbill when I play but no mullet. I always feel weird wearing it to the course lol…..

Absolutely. I’m orginally from St Louis Missouri and resided in St Charles Mo. It’s N Florida Lite in terms of styles of dressing. Just replace the intercoast with the missouri river and center consoles with aluminum flat bottoms…..

Nice I am in St Augustine and playing championship course for the first time next month. Haven’t played either that or Dye Valley but I look forward to playing both at some point soon.
