US Open

[Irish_Red]

McIlroy playing some golf so far, will be a good test of his mental strength to see if he can keep it going considering what happened at the masters.

 

[Rosco]

Watching it myself, he's hitting some great shots.

nice to see Garcia back where he belongs too

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Not just the masters, the open as well. We'll see.

 

[Dahuge]

Rory is just ripping the field apart...

This is some golf, I hope he can keep it together....

 

[Rosco]

He went in the water on the last but other than that he's been brilliant, looking forward to catching a bit more tonight

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Anyone know what the biggest lead someone's lost is in a major?

 

[The Nomad]

Will be Rory after the weekend.

dunno what the biggest overall lead lost is, but apparently the biggest lead at the halfway stage not to go on to win it is 4 shots by some guy back in 1909, so rory's got a cracking chance of making history this weekend.

Waits for collapse

 

[Rosco]

He's going to win it this time.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

I think so yes

 

[Rosco]

He's stupidly good from tee to green and if he keeps giving himself birdie putts he'll take enough of them to keep ahead.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

He just needs two rounds of 72. EVen 1 or 2 over may well be enough.

 

[The Nomad]

If he cards a 70 or better today he'll win... if not those nerves will kick in big time.

[Woland]

Is this streamed? In a remarkable act of cutting off my nose to spite my face I removed Sky on a political mission and as I'm off the booze I don't want to sit up all night in the pub watching it.

 

[Gary25]

Why the fuck is this not live on Sky? Absolute joke.

 

[Woland]

The final group don't go out for 5 hours anyways

14 under unbelievable golf by Rory.

 

[The Nomad]

Why is Garrigus using a kiddies putter?

 

[Y1]

Still waiting for a collapse

I know. Makes me lol every time he stoops over to putt.

 

[The Nomad]

I concede that Rory should win this one now... if he doesn't it'll be a massive monkey on his shoulder for the rest of his life.

 

[Rosco]

What he's done so far is unprecedented, but it'll count for nothing if he doesn't close it out now. There were enough good scores yesterday, with a few people hitting 66's etc to keep Rory on his toes. He needs to go around under par again to ensure he wins.

I think we might be witnessing his ascent to the top of the golfing world that could rival Tiger's. Nobody seems capable of matching his ball striking , the accuracy and distance is unbelievable.

 

[Rosco]

Good start by McIlroy, birdies the first and holes a nervy par putt on the second.

 

[Rosco]

Looks like he'll birdie the fourth now too
