    Could things get a teeny bit intresting?
    Sadly I don’t think so. Short & left is settling into an irritatingly good rhythm after an early shake. Noone seriously pushing.

    That could well be the winning putt from Harman, now back to 12 under.

    Dullest open I can remember watching. Gonna get the winner it deserves unfortunately.

    Commentators still trying to pretend that this is interesting……

    Actually I’m doing the guy a disservice. He’s world No 26 and has a couple of wins so he’s not in the Curtis and Hamilton camp of underwhelming winners. And he’s winning it out of the park so fair play.  Bloody irritating though.

    Go for a walk in the countryside and see a wild animal. 
    Beautiful. 
    Take a couple of photos to show what you have seen.
    Or.
    Blow the poor things brains out.

    Harman had such a good lead, he has played within himself so far in the final round - raining, links, play for par each hole - can they catch me - nope (so far) because the conditions favour the par golfer in the lead 

    But agree - dull Open - not a fan of the course - Royal St George’s in this weather, would be a far tougher test by miles - and Carnasty as well

    If Rory had Harman’s putting stroke he would have more majors than Jack and Tiger put together by now.

    How many left handed golfers have won Majors? The only five I can think of are Phil Mickelson, Bob Charles, Mike Weir, Bubba Watson and now Harman.

    Harman is just 1 under since Friday evening. He had one great round & been coasting it ever since. 

    If Rory or Fleetwood could putt then there might have been a contest.  

    Next up is the Ryder Cup.

    What an anti climax. Shit weather normally provides excitement. Not this time tho.

    And the last whinge from me, the next time a commentator says “so and so is certain to win a major in the future” I’ll scream.  No one is certain to win a major. It’s just about the hardest thing in world sport to win. The history of golf is littered with major less so and sos who were certainties to win one!!!

    Got to give it to Harman who whenever he was threatened pulled something out. Well done to the local lad Matthew Jordan for qualifying for next year's open and to Sepp Straka who is surely punched his Ryder Cup ticket with his T2 finish following his win the other week.

    don’t mind an alleged underdog winning. 
    The reason it was dull was the incompetence of the rest of the field
