Don't these guys play in the wind that often?:eek:

Only he and Beem walked off. Its the same for all of them. At least play the 18 holes. People spend thousands trying to ake this Event. I think that just about finishes off his chance as a broadcaster.

You did not read my post did you.

In how many tournaments has Lyle walked off the course? This is not unusual for him.

I did read your post. I think Ive known him retire in one major that comes to mind, might be more if you say so. Its not the done thing.

Just seen Ernie's first round score. :eek:

I thought he might have had a chance.

Disgraceful antics from Lyle, the quitter :nono:
 

Open Golf 2008

I assume Lyle walked off because of the weather conditions. Why on earth would he do a thing like that.
 

Open Golf 2008

He walked for the same reason that scores of professional golfers have walked out of tournaments in the past. He was unhappy with his game. It is non-event, a non-issue. He did NOT deny anyone a slot in The Open that was entitled to be there. It is a boorish discussion.

Scores!!! How many people have walked off the course, before finishing their round, in the last decade, in the British Open :banana: Out of interest... :)
 

Open Golf 2008

Off the top of my head. Other winners that have done so include Baker-Finch
 

Open Golf 2008

What about if Harrington had withdrawn after a 4 iron off the first tee with his wrist injury?

The whole "discussion" is unworthy IMHO

You win Mr N ;).. you have answered my question then. Of all the scores of people, off the top of your head you have remembered one bird :computer:

I am getting back to virtual golf and jackie chan rumble in the bronx. I bid you farewell :thumbs:
 

Open Golf 2008

I remembered another *winner* in the specific tournament you mentioned.

I stated that in the decades there would have been scores (i.e. not just winners) doing the same in all tournaments (i.e. not just one tournament). Are you related to JBN and nick logan by any chance lol

p.s. Forget Jackie, "Fast Ships" is on Discovery Knowledge :sorted:

Has anyone else been listening to the Radio 5 Live coverage? If not, do yourself a favour and have a listen, they deserve an award for their coverage.

:imwith: I turned on the the radio yesterday at about 07:15 and Clare Balding was on the course with the players, turned it on coming home from work at about 18:30 and she was still going. That's some effort.
 

Open Golf 2008

I don't have discovery :sad:

Yes, but the British Open is the most hight profile and one of the few on terrestial telly, so normal people have more of a chance to see it and it sets a bad example to people - just giving up :nono: If you are injured FINE, but if you are having a bad round, tough, finish it!

:imwith: it just makes him look spoilt and petulant

Well done Greg! Let's hope he can hang on near the top for the next couple of days. I'd forgotten he was married to Chris Evert
Is the cut really +8 :eek:

Exactly. It is unacceptable.

Thats is a completely different situation. Lyle may qualify by right but to walk off just because he was "struggling" is a very, very bad example - an insult to the Worlds greatest Tournament.

Pollter looks "in the zone" but has mised a great opportunity on 15th... :sad:

Anyone remember my post in the Masters thread re me following Rose and Stenson with the bookies in the big tournaments this season ? :shrug: The big man's doing well thus far :yes:

Blimey, this might come in :eek:

Pod looks like he's going to win though it would be great a PO, him and Poulter:cool:

Fantastic last few holes from Harrington. Didnt have him on my mind as a winner with his wrist problem but he won with a smile. He was even smiling when he bogeyed three in a row.

I had a little ew investment when he completed his round on Sat and was at
+8, I thought he might be leading as the weather was getting worse. I even talked a fellow GPGer into jumping on with me.:sorted:
