I have little faith in Harman closing it out - but he's in an unreal spot after 36 right now. We'll see if Fleetwood can get something going here.
July 21, 20232 yr 3 pars through one of the hardest stretches of the course after the back to back bogeys for Spieth. Par 5 coming up next. Doing what he has to do to get back into this.
July 21, 20232 yr Harman is a crafty player. IMO bad weather conditions are favorable to him. If his putter stays hot it will be hard for someone to catch up.
July 21, 20232 yr Author Damn, Spieth tee shot in bunker on #15... unlucky that the ball barely rolls in Edited July 21, 20232 yr by LTtxfan

July 21, 20232 yr Author Spiethcoaster back off the rails... 3 bogeys on the first 6 holes of the back 9. Hope he pulls his shit together for 18th hole Edited July 21, 20232 yr by LTtxfan
July 21, 20232 yr Spieth just stiffed his tee shot on 17. 6-7 feet for birdie, otherwise known as the "Fuck, I can't watch" distance.
July 21, 20232 yr Fitzpatrick's championship might come to an end right here. From bad to worse to worse still in the waste area on 17. And then out and into another bunker.
July 21, 20232 yr For as shitty as this back 9 has been for Jordan, he's still in the top 10 with a par 5 to go.
July 21, 20232 yr Just now, LTtxfan said: What are the odds for a birdie on #18 for Spieth?? Maybe 20-1 😋 Downwind par 5, hopefully better than that.
July 21, 20232 yr Jordan in a nutshell. Missing greens from the fairway and missing putts inside of 8 feet.
July 21, 20232 yr Jordan's likely going to have to go sideways out of that greenside bunker on 18. FML.
July 21, 20232 yr Man, another unlucky break for Spieth on a par 5. Yard from perfect, instead he's up against the face of a bunker.

July 21, 20232 yr Author Wow... Koepka now at +1 Three bogeys on his back 9, currently on the 17th hole
July 21, 20232 yr 4 minutes ago, LTtxfan said: Scottie +4 with 2 holes left. Did not see this coming Shocked as well. He has so many ball flights working for him that this kind of setup should favor him but alas... They've mentioned it a few times on the broadcast but his feet do look extra shifty this week and his short range putting is going as poorly as usual.
July 21, 20232 yr Author Cameron Smith at +4 going into the 18th Also we gotta Koepka meltdown on #18 😋
July 21, 20232 yr 17 and 18 are making boys out of men out there this week. 18 is interesting though because it can be had - it actually scored under par today - but if you miss you can fuck yourself in a hurry. Commentators had a good point earlier about those holes being able to potentially cut the lead down in a hurry. I'm still not buying Fleetwood this weekend. Straka can fuckin play, though. It will be interesting tomorrow if he can card a couple early playing right in front of BH. Edited July 21, 20232 yr by ztejas

July 21, 20232 yr Author Damn great 2nd shot on 18th... Looks like Cameron Smith about to get an eagle to rally back to +2 Edited July 21, 20232 yr by LTtxfan Damn autocorrect
July 21, 20232 yr Author Final group of the day Sami Valimaki is currently +3. It's raining, dark, the fans are gone and the dude needs a par on 18th to survive... Hits 3rd shot approach within 2ft... birdie. AWESOME!!! 💥💥💥💥 He also had a brilliant up and down to save par on #17. Edited July 21, 20232 yr by LTtxfan
July 21, 20232 yr Author "THE OPEN" weather forecast: Weekend to bring less wind, more rain BY BRENTLEY ROMINE JULY 21, 2023 As winds whipped Friday at Royal Liverpool, Brian Harman appeared unaffected, shooting 6-under 65 to climb to 10 under and taking a commanding lead at this Open Championship. But will Mother Nature turn the dial up a notch this weekend and offer Harman a little more to think about as he tries to fend off the competition for his first major title? According to the latest forecast, it actually looks as if she’ll turn it down a little – at least in turns of the fan. Friday evening’s update forecasts that winds, which reached nearly 20 mph sustained with gusts in the mid-20s, will die down for the final 36 holes. For much of Saturday and Sunday, winds are expected to sustain around the high single-digits with gusts in the mid-teens. Temps will continue to fluctuate in the 60s.
July 21, 20232 yr Author Cameron Young and Spieth paired together might be a lot of fun 😎 Homa and McIlroy pairing are two players that can get streaky hot And Koepka is paired with Cantlay for the 3rd straight day 😂😂😂😂😂
July 21, 20232 yr Rory will birdie #2 - then play the front in 2 over before bogeying 11 and closing with 3 birdies to card a 71.
July 22, 20232 yr I am actually rooting for the “lefty” Brian Harmon. Dude isn’t even 5’9 and knocks it a ton for a guy his size. He’s been a “journey man” pro for over a decade, so I would be excited for him to see it through to the Claret Jug.Hook’em!!!
July 22, 20232 yr Author Rickie at -1 currently on 18th has putt for birdie... Nice round. Scottie currently +5 about to tee off on 18th
July 22, 20232 yr Author If winds stay down and if the rains remain light, there are opportunities for better scores today...
July 22, 20232 yr Didn't realize that Koepka and Cantlay ended up paired together for the 3rd consecutive day. Lulz.
July 22, 20232 yr 20 minutes ago, LTtxfan said: Scottie currently +5 about to tee off on 18th Once again, his putting holding him back. If he can fix this, He’ll be unbeatable.
