Shankster Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Another great contest on an iconic course. No doubt the spirit of Seve will be walking the grounds this week. Can’t wait to tune in.

golfertrb Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 No doubt. Some truly great champions in the history of the Open Championship at Royal Lytham and St. Anne's: Bobby Jones, Bobby Locke, Peter Thompson, Tony Jacklin, Gary Player, Steve (2x), Erie Els - not to mention Tom Lehman and David Duval. Looking forward to watching some of my favorite players on one of my favorite courses in the Open rota.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Shankster and MGoBlue100 2 Quote Ping G400 LST 8.5* Graphite Design DI 6 stiff 45" Taylormade RBZ Proto 14.5* Oban Kiyoshi 85 04 42.5" Adams 4555 19* Matrix Ozik Altus 80 S/X 42" Ping G410 Crossover 2 Project X Even Flow Blue 85 6.0 40" Ping i500 4-8 Modus 105 Stiff Ping Blueprint 9-P Modus 105 Stiff Fourteen RM-12 53* and 58* Tour Issue Black Onyx s400 Odyssey Tour Black Series 9 35" Flatso 1.0 Srixon Z Star XV 2018 Ping Hoofer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixyurdivot Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Golf Channel's very own Brandel Chamblee grinding it out and hoping to make the cut. Not everyone's favorite I know, but I'm rooting for him to play the weekend. Assuming one or both are playing, my money is on Stricker or Goosen.

fixyurdivot Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Definitely not as straightforward as PGA Tour events. Via a rather circuitous route, here it is: http://www.europeantour.com/staysuretour/season=2019/tournamentid=2019834/leaderboard/index.html#/leaderboard I don't see Stricker on the list. He didn't play last weeks Open.

All good things come to an end eventually. Hopefully Tom will stick around for a while, and write some books, magazine articles and such.

fixyurdivot Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Only got to watch the first few holes of the final group before heading out. The German Machine does it again... amazing. Hopefully TGC will replay round 4 so I can see how it all played out. 1 hour ago, Shankster said: If Tiger chooses to play on the Champions Tour... 15+ majors?

If so, he can finally win a US Open. Philllllip will be a powerhouse on the Champ Tour.If Tiger does join it would really propel the Chanpions Tour....Phil might have that affect to a little lesser degree. Either way both of them will/would win a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only wish I could have such luck with the SpySlam contest. I've been following him on The Champions Tour for over a decade now; attended all but one of The Boeing Classic events. He is a grinder extraordinaire - arguably among the best on any tour. I think he has quite a few more wins and perhaps a major or two left before he calls it quits.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I fully expect Phil to join the Champions Tour. Many of them still play the majors and select events they really enjoy - so it's not like they leave the main tour. Like Hale Irwin, Bernhard Langer, and a few others, moving onto the CT reignited their careers. A Phil and possibly Tiger addition to that tour will also transform those events from pretty laid back, decide last minute to attend to much more buzz and buy your tickets early.
