Rory McIlroy?
Good start by Rory btw, all aspects of his game seem to be coming together and when he’s on song he’s still the best player out there imo.
Some rich feck like @simonhch
Decent scores. Doesn't look to be the bloodbath the greens promised!
Nah, someone in here was / is making a vacation down here who had tee times all set up at some good golf courses.
Is Pinehurst the closest thing the yanks have to a genuine links type course (despite it be nowhere near the sea)?
Bandon Dunes Golf Resort
That is one resort example.
There's still quite a few Tillinghast, Ross, MacKenzie, etc. dunes courses inland, especially east of the Mississippi.
I was thinking more of the pro tournament courses. But the one in Oregon looks beautiful.
Whistling Straits looks like a links course, plays nothing like one though. Pinehursst doesn’t look like one, but seems to play like one. I think you’re right in that the ones most likely to be like a genuine links type course are going to be the ones on the inland dunes, similar what you get here in Holland.
Bryson. Urgh!
Yep. He's playing annoyingly well.
So far, so good.

9 bogeys for Phil. He has fallen off the proverbial cliff! What a difference a year in LIV made for him.
Scheffler is an absolute joke. He’s been about as good as I am off the tee today, but where I’d have shot 170, he’s probably going to finish level par.
Nah, I’m playing the other coast next month (PB and Spyglass)
Shit I actually thought it was you and was just on a wind up, apologies
self made man.
Plus I don’t do golf.
Racing cars is my rich feck past time.
Schauffele you mean!
I actually meant Scheffler at the time thinking he was going to birdie the last, but you could say the same about Schauffele and him being shite with his irons all day but still shooting level par!
Rory looking very impressive today, really creative and accurate shots, putting was sublime. Great round that sets him up nicely for the tournament.
DeChambeau looks good as well in his own unique unaesthetic way the nob.

According to the golf channel commentators Schauffele was 2nd to last in driving stats.
The good old Rory boom bust boom bust cycle.
Hope Rory wins his 5th.
Excellent opening round from McIlroy, but we've been here before. Let's hope this time is different.
Course is starting to get a little frisky.
Routine par by Rors.
I thought that had to be a glitch in the shot tracker, didn't make any sense.
The feck is that Detry cat doing?
Seen three players putt off the green in the last hour.
Rory is selecting the right club so far. At the masters and PGA he was coming up short all the time instead of clubbing up.
He's also playing for the center of the green whenever in doubt. Ross courses normally have inverted saucer-style greens which basically reduce the playing square footage of each green by 1/4 to 1/3%. If one hits a green out there, the birdie putt won't be too lengthy.
The group with Schauffele, Rors, & Schleffler absolutely shitting the bed right now
wonder the last time a group of 3 was collectively 4 over on a par 5
Is Bryson the best putter in the world? Takes his time over it but on difficult courses he holes an awful lot of them
With such a wide fairway to boot, it screams driver off the tee.
then he pulls a 7 iron on a 220 yard par 3 and ball lands 20 yards short
