Jason Day - why on earth would you leave a putt short of the hole? On the 18th. In the Open. For a playoff?


Aaaaagggggghhhhhh.

John stones caddy placed the ball for him at the 17th green. Is that allowed?

I saw that. I'm assuming he placed it near his marker for Johnson to re-place his ball.

great open for me and who ever wins are worthy winners

[budfox]

When Johnson mended that old hole he then tapped down another part of the green closer to the hole. Very dubious IMHO

I thought that the senior rules official only gave him permission for the first one, and whether he went over the second or not makes no difference.

A worthy winner but a poor Open with a very poor finish.

why do they do that its like the "get in the hole" shout from the Tee on a par 5 I think they should be put away for a long time

[Nom de ploom]

a terrific tournament and a worthy winner, i was rooting for Spieth after that monster putt great effort all round.

johnson was humble and reverent let him enjoy his moment.

are they shutting peter allis up now too? he's getting a bit prince phillip isn't he? the other day when the young amatuer lad (Dunne?) was getting a hug from his mum he said "maybe he goed for the older woman...." time to cellotape his mouth shut I think...

A worthy champion I think, although St Andrews is too soft nowadays and needs a new approach to make it Open worthy in 5 years time.

So what on earth happened to DJ? Looked nailed on for a top 5 at least and then just disappeared after round 2. Mentally he is quite flaky.
