Just like that Rahm gets leaders luck.
Looks to make a similar marking error to Lexi Thompson but inexplicably escapes a 2 stroke penalty.
Marked his ball to the side but replaced it in front.

I don't want to get into another discussion over this...but my god, do these professionals understand how to properly set their ball back in place? I watched that and it is simply inexplicable. Rahm's explanation afterward was absurd at best.

Should have been penalized and the ridiculous magical logic excuse making used by the European Rules Official was as comical as watching Trump try to lie.

It was patently clear he just didn't want to enforce the rule.

Looking forward to this week's Dear John classic

It's about time. I am a mad golfer and men have to dress to a strict code. So should women.
Seriously though, this new dress code probably won't do it for me anymore.

Surprised to see no comments in here regarding Dechambeau's win given his controversial setup and style.

His putting swing isn't too bad judging by the reaction of his playing partner.

Who is everyone tipping for the Open Championship?

Might have a little $ on Matthew Fitzpatrick at $81's.

I reckon Tommy Fleetwood might have a good crack. He's in great form and went close at the US Open. Paying around $26 so not huge odds but also not short.

I think that style was barred heading into this year, partner notwithstanding

Jordan Spieth doing Jordan Spieth things, turning back the clock and sinking 25ft putts like they're nothing.

If he putts well, no-one can stay with him for 4 days

It took me 5 minutes to find Rory on the leaderboard this morning. I went to sleep after seeing him +5 through 9 holes. Impressive effort to bounce back with 4 birdies in the back 9 to finish on +1. Looked absolutely lost out there early on.

All the aussies had terrible 2nd rounds. Adam scott the only 1 who could make the cut. Seems like jason day in particular is in a barren run of form. Would have thought this is always the tournament the aussies do well in but just not in the form they need to be to challenge this week.

Anyone shooting par in the afternoon groups will be very happy I think.

well played Mark O'Meara in his final Open.

Great way to finish up and good comeback from ist round of 81.

How about all those Aussies who would have thought they were going home early only for the cut to fall to +5. I didn't actually see it yesterday but looking at Day's scorecard and last 3 holes go bogey, double bogey, bogey. Probably almost embarrassed to tee up on Saturday after finishing like that haha.

He actually went double, bogey, double. Was even with the card after 15, would've been right in the mix if he didn't fall off a cliff in the last three holes.

fowler almost hole in 1 on the 5th par 4. settles for a tap in eagle
