Long shot on Harrington then a few Scots, UK golfers. Mostly 50/1 + bets but just to add spice to it.

Also Sergio or Rory as day 1 leaders.

Anybody having a punt?

Rose (20/1) and Fleetwood (25s) for me

Another donation to the bookies without even a run for my money

Mugs game!

This thread title will really piss @Cove_Sheep off :lol: 

I've backed Noren (50's), Cabrera-Bello (70's), Scott (28's) & my usual major punt on Fowler (16's). 

All started well, so fingers crossed.

Connor Syme to make the cut. He has done well just to qualify, but he will be hoping to make it through to the weekend. 

Great finish from young Connor. Birdied the last 2 holes to get back the shots that he gave away at the 16th. He will be disappointed with 2 double bogeys, but at +3, he is still in with a shout of making the cut. Hope he has a good round tomorrow.

Looks like Richie Ramsay is the only Scot at Birkdale for the weekend

Aye looking like it. Although David Drysdale might just sneak in. Projected cut is +4 but it could go to +5? Not many rounds under par today so far.

You're right it might slip to +5 but I think the wind is easing a bit so scoring might, again, be better in the afternoon. I thought Martin Laird might make a go of it but his +9 today has put an end to that.

I just head +6 so such much for my thoughts on the wind easing!

16 of the +4s and +5s are still out on the course. So, it probably only needs about 5 of them to drop to +6 for the cut to move to +6. Russell Knox just needs to hang on in there. I think Drysdale should be OK now.

South African Grace with the first ever 62 in major championship history. Incredible.

I always found it amazing it's taken so long to happen. How many rounds of majors' golf has that taken? Must be around a quarter of a million?...

It's pretty ridiculous that he can deliberately drop the ball between two trucks in order to get another free drop and a better position.

Viewing figures must be down

Was 75% down last year. Can't imagine it will be any different this time...

First time in almost 40 odd years that i havent watched any of it 

Got rid of sky after the season ended and wont be getting it back unless they offer an NFL channel

Absolute disgrace by the R&A and BBC - who would rather pay for presenters than output

Viewing figures must be down

Only 20 posts since Wednesday speaks volumes

how the open wasn't one of the 'crown jewels ' is bizarre
