Where the feck is the coverage BBC?!
Ok just seen play has been suspended, I'll let them off.
When is it coming back? Are they going to play on Monday?
So 3rd round is now delayed until tomorrow, and the final round will be on Monday. How fecking windy can it be?
Fans who paid for tickets today will get a grand total of 60% of the cost back.
What a joke. I can only imagine how much they'll have spent during the day with no golf to watch.

Get in there Sergio!
Guess this answers my question, balls were rolling off the green prior to being marked.
I guessed it must have been pretty windy, they don't postpone play at the Open lightly. I remember a few years ago Tiger had top play in awful conditions and had a shocking round. A lot of players still in this, I reckon anyone in the top 30 or so at the moment, I think it will all depend on the weather over the next couple of days.
Rose, Reed, Koepka, Mahan and Dufner are the squad. As it stands, they'll all make the cut.
I do think it's a bit shit from the BBC that there's been hours of golf played this morning that's not been televised.
Say what you will about Sky buy you wouldn't miss a shot if they were showing it.

Now 25 players within three shots of the lead. Shame it's going finish tomorrow afternoon cos I know work is going to be fecking manic and I won't get to see it.
This is bullshit, St Andrews getting bent over and destroyed by the field
Exciting as far as predicting the winner goes but this can't be right.
If good players are birdying every hole what will the great players do? Eagles? Of course not. This could end in a massive playoff

Harrington moves to level with the leaders...
St Andrews without wind is toothless. What a difference from a day ago.
That would be pretty cool though- a six-way play-off.
On the other hand, DJ hasn't taken advantage of the benign conditions. Should make for an exciting final round tomorrow with so many contenders.
So pissed off I'm not gonna be able to sit through the whole final day.
Have tee times been confirmed? I'm guessing when I get home at 5:30-6ish there should still be a fair amount left to play?

Me too. Wont get home till around 5:30 and I'm so annoyed that I'll miss most of it.
Sky regularly start their coverage when half the field have finished their rounds. And Sky follow 3/4 groups so really you're just seeing a select few golfers. Their coverage is far from great. BBC's coverage of the Open is the best weeks golf to watch on TV every year, for me.
Fair enough if Sky do similar that sucks too, but it annoyed me this morning that I got up and went to put it on only to realise coverage didn't start until almost 3 hours after the first group started.
Even if they put it on the red button or online or something until the standard television times. You'd think they could show everything live in this day and age.
Anyone knows what happens to the prize money if an amateur like Paul Dunne wins? Does the 1st place prize money go to whomever finishes 2nd?
Yeah, 1st placed money goes to 2nd.
Seriously? So the amateur just gets his silver medal?
He's not professional so he can't win prize money.
Ouch, £1.15m. He might go on to never win another major. Kind of reminds me of Adrian Lewis, the darts player, who won jackpot on the slots in Vegas, but they wouldn't pay out as he was underage.
He'd make several million in sponsorship deals off the back of the win though.
Yeah, I'm sure he would tbh. The second placed guy would feel like it's Christmas.
Relax, if an amateur wins the Open, he makes the money back instantly in media deals. He will have been sponsored for years anyway however would still get offered at least £10 million by the big companies. Money means nothing for winning a Major.
Hence the nickname. I didn't know that.
was planning on cashing out my Oosthiuzen bet but betfair has been down all night.. got him at 26s
Aye, nickname was what they called him to rub it in. They said earlier that Anderson nearly went pro snooker in his youth and has had three 147s
He does look good but it's so open it's absolutely incredible.
Just as predictable as Phil Mickelson going on a run was him putting it out of bounds on 17 to put an end to it.
Dunne with a shaky start. I'll be surprised if he can recover.
How the feck did Dunne end up on the practice putting green on his tee shot from the 2nd? Also took two provisional shots.
Definitely coming unglued. Shame as he was able to do such a great job controlling his nerves yesterday.
Looks like Dunne has the jumper off, and is starting to play again!
