    Close this thread please.

    The sooner we forget about this awful tournament the better, absolute waste of an Open Championship.

    I was more or less a neutral today Michael, I knew the fate of my bets early in the day so was just looking forward to seeing some good golf. Today has to go down as one of the worst days of golf ever witnessed.

    Take JB Holmes for example, started the day in contention and was in the second last group. Shoots an 87 (16 over par) to finish in close to last place. Thats no golf.

    Better than the American efforts that are basically a procession. Can't believe a Scot whinging about conditions on a Golf Course iirc

    Bit unfair, it's Links golf and the weather played a big part today, Lowry did the business over 4 days,2nd best score of the top 20 today so 18 bottlers and not his fault.

    Another 2nd place for England to add to the collection of 1st-4th places so far in this glorious summer of sport and with at least 2nd place guaranteed in The Ashes to come.

    Lowry deserved to win, he was the best player over the 4 days and especially after his round yesterday so no complaints with him winning.

    It wasn't great to watch today though, watching some of the best players in the world struggle with basic shots. Cos its the Open though people will go with the generic “omg what a great week of golf”, it really wasn't. A lot of courses can be set up to be difficult but still produce a bit of excitement and reward risks etc. Today was just hit and hope for a lot of players.

    Morgan won't be playing which is a shame as it was his life's ambition to play test cricket for England and I think after his return to form in ODIs about two years ago, he ought to have been given another chance in tests. We have not had a stable top order for a while.
