Still ended up -1.
Had he turned up early, would’ve been equal first.

There's simply no excuse for that level of recklessness.

All I can say, that a tee off time at 7.20am is brutal and probably nearly all of us are sleeping in

All I can say is that if any of us had been at the course since 5:15 (like he had), we would have had the skills to get to the tee on time. I’d give him a pass if it was something like an emergency call of nature, but no, Higgo combined a lackadaisical attitude with no awareness of time.

Good story though

Not this little black duck I prefer to play early morning and always make my tee time , definitely unprofessional for him to miss

Higgo would have loved the Melbourne train system back in the day when stations were manned and gates closed access to the platform just prior to arrival of a train. "I was on time but I was late"

Be interesting if a softening of the rule occurs going forward.

It’s already a soft penalty. Every decent amateur player has it beaten into them about getting to the tee in plenty of time. It’s the simplest and most obvious rule of competitive golf.

I’d be happy for it to be a DQ.

That being said I just chucked $5 on Higgo at 425/1

Was lucky enough to play Aronimink in Oct 2023. Glorious venue.

Even in drizzling showers the day I played the 11th was absolutely terrifying. And no way were they stimping at PGA speeds.

Well done. It’s certainly one of the great US courses. Looks awesome on tv

Rory before the tournament said that there was no strategy off the tee. More or less said he could just bomb and gouge his way around.

His driver was all over the shop at Augusta but it has huge wide fairways and nonexistent rough to bail you out (not saying it's an easy course, esp on approach and putting) Not gonna cut it here when fairways are ~10 m narrower.

Bryson couldn't even make the cut there so no surprise he did even worse than Rory. You hate to see it

Can’t believe I just watched a Blocky highlight reel at halftime of the pies swans game

Nice and windy in Philly. 3 bogeys for Scottie in his first 4 holes

It's a slog of a tournament so far. -3 seems to be the best anyone can hold for more than a hole. Scottie only 1 shot off the lead against underdog types has to be the clear favourite. Min Woo has a chance to take a lead into the weekend though.

Just turned it on min woo bogeys 9/10 I must have jinxed him

 

[chickenonachain]

How good would this course be for the us open grow the rough a couple o inches longer no one would break par I reckon

 

[Mr Meow]

Maverick into the outright lead!

That's a hell of a top 6 we have. Some real underdogs.

It’s great to see I hope it goes down to the wire with a first time major winner at the end

I’ll be glad to see the last of the Liv golf players wearing their Liv club merchandise at tournaments not a big fan of it

Potgieter's an interesting case because he moved to Perth and did his schooling here before moving back to Sarth Efrica.

Doubt there's ever been two, well one and one honorary WA players 1 shot off the lead in a major

Forgot Hannah was from WA

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Michael KIM 6 birds in 1st 8 holes, 7 x 1 putts , leaders gonna need low 60’s today.

 

[largebus]

Easier front 9 pins + less wind. Kim goes to the back 9 and drops 3 shots immediately

Gonna have to score early and hang in there

 

[chickenonachain]

Big goys on the move today early, due to criticism of the pin placement yesterday looks like they have reacted to that

 

[Mr Meow]

Rory's throwing down the gauntlet. Walking around the green like bloody T-1000.
