Senior Open @ St Andrews


Shankster

Recommended Posts

Everyone knows I am a Links lover stuck in a parkland paradise. I really can't get enough of reading about, listening to, watching, and playing a Links course when I get a chance (and it wasn't even real)

 

To curb our The Open Championship hangover, we get a follow up of the Senior Open, on the old course. I will be tuning in for this to watch Tom Watson the Links King.

 

Let's talk about it!

Normally I don't get too excited about the Senior Tour events, even the Majors, like I watched 5 minutes of the Senior US Open.   But I'll be watching a lot of this one.  I mean it's St. Andrews, I'd probably watch the  Crofton Country Club Championship (local private club) on TV if they moved it to St. Andrews!!

Langer

yeah, he would certainly have to be the favorite.  But I haven't seen the entire player list yet.  There's probably someone from Europe who plays St. Andrews reguarly and still contends.   Either way it'll be fun to watch.

Who is going to be responsible for ripping him 6 ways to Sunday on Golf Channel, and breaking down every flaw in his swing and game to tell him how horrible he is as a golfer?   :blink:  ;)  :D

Langer

The LONGER the (anchored) putter, the better.  Just remember, rules are only meant for those that never win.   :blink:  ;)

Going well outside the board here, Brandt Jobe to win this thing. 2nd on Champions Tour in driving distance and bombers have an advantage at St. Andrews, first in birdies per round, 6th in putting, plus top 5 in each of the the last two Senior majors. Good punt at 26-1

Someone has done their research.

 

Well Shank, truth be told, I went to the Champions Tour page, looking at driving distance, saw who was near the top and who was a good putter. Brandt seemed a good shout, especially when I clicked through his stats and saw the birdie average.

He was right there at the US Senior Open.  Good pick!

Yes research. More than I. I still like Miguel for the win.

LOVE that MAJ won! If you couldn't tell by my pic! I wish I could be a part of that celebration although I can imagine the red wine hangover is going to be excruciating!

 

Also loved seeing Tom Watson compete all weekend. Honestly can say I enjoyed watching his more than the actual Open.

Yeah they need to cover the Champaign's tour better.

 

And the EuropeanTour needs a EuropeanTour live app. So much better looking golf courses to look at across the pond. At least to me.
