145th Open Championship: July 14-17. Troon.

[Pavel Buchnevich]

See you all later.

Lets do this again in two weeks?

Okay, but we need different golfers.

Preferably Jordan and Rory. That would be something.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

2 of the biggest major underachievers have won this year. I guess either Sergio or Westwood for the PGA Championship?

If I was Monty, I'd be blackmailing the PGA into send an invite. The Golf gods are dishing out redemption like candy.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He beat 3rd place by 13...

Probably the most Tiger-esque win since... Tiger. I think this was a higher level than even Rory's 8-shot wins in the US and PGA.

So the 2015 Masters didn't happen.

 

[davemess]

Probably the one in the sun.

Probably so but that one was a little before my time.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

78 year old Göran Zachrisson, covered golf since the beginning of time, is almost crying on broadcast. So beautiful!

I told you he was going to win a major.

Now another Henrik, Henrik Lundqvist, needs to win a Championship.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

So the 2015 Masters didn't happen.

His to-par score was great, but it's not like he blew away the field like what we just saw. There were 6 shots separating Spieth from 4th place. 14 shots separated Stenson from 3rd.

Sure didn't look like it three weeks ago, happy to be proven wrong on this one..

I guess this season only needs a Sergio win at the PGA now.

And only 3 shots better than Phil. Had Phil been 13 back then yes but he wasn't.

I like Sergio. Really hope he wins one before its all said and done.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Phil always gives a good interview whether he wins or loses. Tough to beat 10 birdies.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

These governing bodies have to make these golf courses harder. 5 players have shot -17 or better in the last 7 majors.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Thank God Stenson channeled some GOAT putting and GOAT ball striking today. Incredible stuff. This is the best he's ever putted in his career by far a few dozen times over. Was like he couldn't miss, the 2 three putts not withstanding.

Did not want FIGJAM to get his grubby little paws on another Claret Jug. At times during this week, it looked inevitable but a hero emerged.

Well done, Henrik. That putt dropping on 18 was a fitting way to wrap it up as well, deserves the record.

Players and equipment get better every year. Courses can't keep up. I guess they could make 20 foot wide fairways with 12 inch thick rough and 300 yard par 3's.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

And congrats, Joe89... if Henrik can putt like this consistently, he may win a couple more majors in the next few years. The rest of his game is certainly more than capable, but I've never seen him strike the ball so pure on the greens as he did this week.

It was kind of like watching Tiger in his prime at Open courses.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Of all these good ball strikers who hadn't yet won a major prior to this year. I think Stenson is the best ball striker of all of them, and the worst putter. I think DJ has the best chance to win more majors because he's a better putter than Stenson and Sergio. He just makes some terrible decisions around the greens, so it makes it seem like his putting is much worse than it is.

I think it's fair to say at this stage of his career he never will be a consistently good putter, but obviously if he has one getting another one is not a stretch. Seeing as he's been in the top10 for a while and probably has a good chance of staying there for a few more years. I don't take any personal pride in Henrik winning one, but it's a warm feeling after watching other Swedish golfers fail for 20 years.

This was the best he's ever played easily. He had some brilliant rounds en route to the Fedex and Dubai some years ago but this peak form blows everything else out of the water.

 

[Prntscrn]

Unreal. What a round they gave us!

I'm a Fowler guy but obviously a big fan of the swedes aswell. Well done Henrik!

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

I nominate Rory as worst putter this week.

He would be such a good golfer, but can't putt.

Speith missed his fair share as well.
