Golfs Third Major BIF, The Open

That's fine...although on the off-chance the chips happen to fall my way, I'd gladly try the French Toast. I wasn't able to make it over to the release. Thanks for the chance though!

 

It definitely sucks, but as someone with a couple young kids and hopefully more on the way, the threat of Zika (real or perceived) has to be taken into account. Also, I'm sure the powers that be will make sure it goes off without a hitch, but I can say I wouldn't want to be going down to Rio right now, which is too bad, because it seems like it was (and probably still is) a cool place to visit.

On top of all that, I think the Tour could've done more to be more accommodating. Everyone always says majors are all that matter for these guys, but they mashed 3 into 6 or 8 weeks? Doesn't make a lot of sense. I would've preferred to see the Open at the end of July as usual, and push the PGA to early September/post-Olympics. It's not like this came out of nowhere, and the schedule couldn't have been massaged/sponsors assuaged for one year.

 

Posting this US Open comment on this thread versus the US Open thread. @Dave_Treat won the high round US Open LIF, when I return to Florida this weekend I will ship out your Cycle Tuesday '16. Dave's scrub selection was Stachler who shot an 84 in round 2, which was indeed the high score for rounds 2,3 & 4. Cheers!

 

Ante for the 3rd leg of the majors - Not your Father's Rootbeer 10% version, Stickee Monkee '16 (if Stickee already ante'd up let me know) & FL or Cali locals. If these are not up to acceptable I can sub out. Cheers!

Open LIF - bad, very bad......need the golfer with the highest total score following the completion of Rounds 1 & 2.

 

I'll take Colin Montgomerie for the highest score for round 1 and 2

So here's the tv schedule for anyone interested. Unfortunately I'll probably miss most of Sat due to work and will probably tape Thurs and Fri to watch in the afternoon. Sunday is a dilemma, do I come home, start drinking and watch it live or do I tape it, stay off BA and the interwebs and watch it that afternoon? What's everyone else plan on doing for Sunday?

Times are Eastern

Ill go with Sandy Lyle. Thanks!

 

I took this as we're guessing high rounds for Thursday and Friday, but @BigBarleywine, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I thought the same thing

 

Yes high total for Thurs + Fri

 

Oh, oops! Allies_Dad for 6 and Dannyfayy for 7

 

Damn, @johnyb, that's going to be tough to beat..

 

Here we go, my pick for high round: Marco Dawson....
Playing partner disqualifications
In 2003, Dawson became involved in two separate incidents involving rules breaches. At the Chrysler Classic of Tucson in March, he was playing with Brandel Chamblee when Chamblee took an incorrect drop. Dawson was criticized for only notifying rules officials shortly after he had signed Chamblee's card, meaning disqualification rather than a two-stroke penalty.[2] In a similar incident in October, Dawson was playing with Esteban Toledo when he called Toledo on an incorrect drop, resulting in Toledo's disqualification. The latter incident resulted in a feud in which Toledo sacked the agent both players shared, and Dawson was eventually fined $10,000 for not informing officials of an infringement promptly.[3]

 

My high score pick will be Billy Horschel
