    Just about to post that, Rory was too cautious and never attacked the course enough, his putting was pretty poor, well done the Aussie mullet.

    Not so sure he bottled it. 35 out of 36 greens in the last 2 rounds in regulation. He played very well. Its obvious what his problem is now.

    59th in putting for the week compared to Smith who was 2nd.

    He'll win another major...

    Smith is a star though.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    I don't think Rory's putting was necessarily bad - he just played very cautious golf until Smith went on a tear.

    He was conservatively hitting the greens comfortably and not dropping shots by easing the ball to the hole - OK, he missed a few decent chances, but it almost seemed like his tactic to hit the green and get a par at worst.
    Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

    Cammy Smith won it rather than Rory losing it. He made the dark art of putting look so friggin easy and at the end of the day that's what made him the Champion.

    Rory played cautious golf, trying not to lose a winning position instead of taking on the course and attacking it like Smith did.

    Why would he need to take in more risky shots when doing exactly what he had said he was going to do got in in the 54 hole lead? Some days the putter just isnt switched on, like Smiths yesterday (or mine permanently). Hovland crumbled today. Smith just went out there & won it by play aggressive because it was the only way he was going to win. Some round by him though & by his playing partner Young. Although you can never guarantee it Smith looks like he's made for the big occasion & will win more. Hopefully so will Rory as I think hes a good ambassador for the sport.

    This ^^^ Rory had a few just inches away and Cam holed nearly everything. Rory would have needed to shoot 67 to win. He didn’t play badly. Smith won it.

    Smith was sensational. One of the all-time great putting displays, especially that one on 17. Nerves of steel.

    Never been a McIlroy fan. Don't get the adulation.

    Had a feeling McIlroy would fail to get over the line yet again.

    2 good final rounds from Tommy Fleetwood in the Scottish open and the open. Maybe a win not far away?

    Listening to the golf on the radio yesterday. Since 1930 every winner of The Open at St Andrews has been within 3 shots of the leader after round one. 16 opens there since 1930. On that basis only Young, McIlroy and Smith can win.
    They were right 🙂
