***Open Championship*** - Spieth v Kuch: not the matchup we deserve, but not the one we need either (1 Viewer)

[BobbyLayne]

the script is about what you might expect

Spieth was gonna lose it or Spieth was gonna win it

Kuchar is an amicable marker

still lots of golf left but wow what an incredibly clutch birdie and ridonkulous eagle

the Chinese kid can finally go get some lunch

[BobbyLayne]

think the lie is OK there for Jordan on #16

Kuchar doubled it yesterday (bunker on the tee shot) but right down the middle - he's been pretty steady

Agree.  Other than missing a few makeable birdies on the front he's done great.

I'd like to see him knock it close here

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Damn

 

[Cowboysfan8]

It's over 

 

[The Man With No Name]

The guy is amazing

 

[BobbyLayne]

come on 

 

[gump]

The Two Faces of Jordan...Best Long Putter in the World...Worst Short Putter in the World.

The former being a heck of a lot more important today!

 

[hagmania]

What a player.

 

[McGarnicle]

Sweet Christ on a popsicle stick. What the hell am I watching

 

[JAMES!]

JFC

 

[BobbyLayne]

wow freaking ice water

that bogey save was pretty good, everything since has been sublime

the epitome of clutch

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Oh my.

He didn't just knock the monkey off his back, he shot it in the face and fed it into a wood chipper.

 

[hagmania]

Looks like an easy 3 to me off the tee.

 

[Grahamburn]

Block.  Wonder if he'll hit driver again on 18?

 

[James Daulton]

Uh oh...

 

[John Bender]

Man I'm so bummed for Kuchar. Let that guy get his well deserved major. 

 

[Quint]

Speith misses > Kuchar misses

 

[James Daulton]

Oh, this is a par 5.  No worries. 

 

[hagmania]

Man I'm so bummed for Kuchar. Let that guy get his well deserved major. 

 

[JAMES!]

Ughh, cmon Kuch.

 

[ChiefD]

Man I'm so bummed for Kuchar. Let that guy get his well deserved major. 

Except, Speith is taking it. Kuchar is hoping it falls to him.

Big difference in how they are coming down the stretch.

 

[hagmania]

LET HIM WIN BibleThump

Kuchar is -1 on the day, Spieth is E.

Different styles for sure, but Kuch has had the better round thru 16.  Just started three shots back.

 

[McGarnicle]

Cooch looks bewildered.

Yeah this

Spieth just made a few bombs. It's what he does though

 

[McGarnicle]

Wow. 

 

[hagmania]

Kuuuuuch

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Nice putt Kuch, finally

 

[James Daulton]

And Spieth right on top.  Good on you Jordan. 

 

[hagmania]

Gonna need a hole out.

 

[hagmania]

Gonna need a hole out.

Probably by Jordan, natch.

 

[elbowrm]

Wow only 4/13 fairways

 

[hagmania]

@John Bender @Peyton Marino While I have you nerds captive, can I interest you in any Japanese pro wresting? Stuff is legit good, and there's a great tourney going on right now.

 

[gump]

Am I the only one hearing the annoying breathing by the course commentator?

Maltbie probably has a cig going.
not sure why picture is sideways

 

[JAMES!]

Ballgame.

 

[hagmania]

Is The Open Kuchar's best shot at a major? Seems like the US and PGA are too long and I don't remember how he has fared at Augusta; the Masters has its own little sub-metagame.

 

[hagmania]

Ballgame.

Had to take a run at it.

 

[Joe T]

Where is @Joe T?

Sup

 

[McGarnicle]

You can't overstate how huge this is for Spieth. I can't think of a more impressive win.

 

[hagmania]

GG no re

He has a couple of top 5s at Augusta.

 

[James Daulton]

So 3 majors for JS.  He's just turning 24.  I'd love to see him keep this up over the next 6 years and see him get close to 10 when he's 30.  That'd be awesome to see someone chasing Jack again.

He still has a shot there then I'd say.

Pretty amazing, if he choked here maybe he never contends for another major. Now, who knows. This has to give him all the confidence he'll ever need. Maybe he'll even act like less of a #### going forward.

 

[Joe T]

He's still on Tiger's pace.

 

[Da Guru]

Was nice not to see a limey win again.

What if I told you his attitude is what keeps him in contention for so many wins?
