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

[James Daulton]

If Rory could go on a run he could put himself in shape to put some pressure on Speith.  But Rory hasn't had a run like that for a while.

Make a damn putt Kuch

sigh

 

[hagmania]

Kuch isn't good enough to win this.   He needs spieth to lose it.   

You watch it, that man is an Olympic bronze medalist.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Spieth +3 holes 1-4, (-1) holes 5-8

Kuchar has no shot to go low today IMO

My pastor was his ProAm partner at the 2016 Northern Trust at Riviera, said he's one of the nicest guys he's ever met. Plus he's like the only guy he met all week who didn't get uncomfortable when he told him what he did for a living.

 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Another nice approach for Kuch. Needs to start making these.

Very nice shot from Spieth as well

 

[McGarnicle]

This is enormous for Spieth to hold it together and put the Masters debacle to rest permanently. This is some compelling ####! 

 

[Cowboysfan8]

There ya go Kuch

 

[Peyton Marino]

Oh gosh

 

[BobbyLayne]

horseshoe

 

[Peyton Marino]

Where is @Joe T?

 

[McGarnicle]

:X

 

[BobbyLayne]

Spieth

• FWY 2/7 - 29%
  
• GIR 6/9 - 67%
  
• Putts - 18
  

Kuchar

• FWY 3/7 - 43%
  
• GIR 4/9 - 44%
  
• Putts - 13
  

Spieth had 4 bogies on the Front 9, which matches his total for the week after three rounds.

 

[Peyton Marino]

if rory can hole out both his 2nd shot approaches on 15 and 17 we might see him work himself into this

 

[McGarnicle]

I don't want to say the wheels are coming off, but this could potentially get a little cringeworthy.

 

[elbowrm]

Pace of play warning for the final pairing?  Wat?

 

[JAMES!]

Pace of play warning for the final pairing?  Wat?

Spieth is a snail out there. Over-analyzes everything.

 

[James Daulton]

C'mon Speith, wtf

 

[McGarnicle]

Whew.

 

[James Daulton]

He seems shook again. 

 

[McGarnicle]

That would be nuts if they both lose two strokes and end up in a playoff with the ********. 

 

[James Daulton]

Oh Jordan...

 

[McGarnicle]

SPIETH WHAT THE HELL MAN

 

[Peyton Marino]

just terrible

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Theme song.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Did Spieths ball hit someone up on the bank? Looked like someone was laying on the ground

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

He's got issues, and losing locked up majors to Danny Willett and Matt Kuchar would be hard to get past.

 

[Peyton Marino]

Did Spieths ball hit someone up on the bank? Looked like someone was laying on the ground

surprised it didn't bounce off someone and run back into the fairway

 

[Cowboysfan8]

[John Bender]

Ok - grab a club and hit the shot.  Jesus.

 

[Mister CIA]

See the ball, hit the ball down?

 

[McGarnicle]

I wonder if Greg Norman is watching. 

 

[Peyton Marino]

don't look now but rory has his tee shot on 18 to tie the lead

 

[pantherclub]

I dont understand what speith is doing?  Why not just hit it over the hill

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Any of this he's doing a penalty?

 

[gump]

Any of this he's doing a penalty?

1 shot unplayable penalty.

 

[Mister CIA]

This is NFL ref level confusion here.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Unplayable & THEN relief from the tower

#dramaqueen

 

[whoknew]

This is nuts. 

 

[joffer]

bank it off the trailer

 

[pantherclub]

Could someone who knows golf explain this to me please

With Spieth taking an unplayable, Kuchar has already moved to -250.

 

[JAMES!]

Good god.

 

[pantherclub]

1 shot unplayable penalty.

It looked playable

 

[gump]

I finally got everything done this morning to sit down with a beer...and this is the first visual I get... 

 

[BobbyLayne]

This is NFL ref level confusion here.

It's a pretty straightforward ruling but not uncommon to call someone in, especially since it's the final pairing (& in light of USGA debacles this year.)

 

[gump]

It looked playable

That's up to the golfer.

 

[GOB]

Take your time, Jordan.

Taking an unplayable and can drop it as far back as he wants keeping line of sight between where the ball was and the hole.

 

[whoknew]

Taking an unplayable and can drop it as far back as he wants keeping line of sight between where the ball was and the hole.

But I think the better question (and panther's original) is why he didn't just play it off the hill.
