    Nearly time for the final major of the year chaps and chapesses, anyone having a little flutter?

    Can't remember having ever seen the course if I'm honest so will be nice to check it out. I might have a pop on Fleetwood and Rose to win with a couple of longer ones on maybe Stenson and Poulter.

    Links golf is mad so should be fun to watch.

    Just watching The Beast on the 236yd par 3....jesus that looks like it's gonna cause some problems. 20mph winds at the moment. Apparently DeChambeau had 7 goes at it off the tee before he managed to get on the green from the tee box. Playing more like 260yds with the wind, that's horrible.

    He is the form guy... particularly as the weather is not forecast to be too windy/wet

    It promises to be a great contest, I hope it goes down to the wire.

    Hitting it with an open face maybe? Try changing where you plant your left foot, maybe have the ball slightly to the left? Rory is fooked after that.

    Everyone is slicing right off the tea! Too much of an open stance maybe? Try getting your left shoulder ahead of your right.

    South African? Do you not mean Ernie Els? I don't think he's playing mate! Louis Oosthuizen is tho....you can just go for him.
