    Am sure he is consoled by his buckets of cash.

    Funny but petty

        @1kiwi amusingly...

        "I get to have a life outside of the game of golf as well. [It's] a business decision for my family's future."

        Bryson has no wife or children...I suspect the LIV folk gave them some standard responses...unless he failed to add, when I have one in the future

        Who cares, fuck, let the fluffybunnies play golf.

            Fantastic win for Fitzpatrick in the US Open. Zalatoris is the bridesmaid once again.

            check out this play down the 18th. Incredible bunker shot under pressure

              @MajorRage Yes that bunker shot was his moment to seize triumph or disaster - and we have seen disaster often at the 18th of a major. The PGA was the first time he was in the mix for a major on the final day and he flubbed it - but he hit 17 out of 18 greens on the day, with a hot putter he would have strolled to the win.

              Zalatoris is already setting himself up in the Colin Montgomerie role - he hasn't even won a PGA event yet but has top 10 finishes in 6 of the last 7 majors he has played in - with 3 runners-up finishes.

                Was a cracking open. Leaderboard chocked full of big game players. Great course that killed you if you were wayward.

                Give me Zalatoris' record over a guy like Cantlay every day. A major top 5 is worth more than winning the Boise State Open Presented by Taco Bell. But you get the feeling he needs to win one soon.

                Can't wait for the British at St Andrews.

                  It was a phenomenal shot in its own right but to do it when your opponent had middled the fairway with a driver with an almost perfect tee shot, all on the last hole of a major.

                  It was a brilliant finish and I do feel for Zalatoris on that putt that was millimetres from landing.

                    The more high profile players that jump to LIV thr sooner the PGA will need to reach a compromise.

                      Yes the time of year when people will point out to you that it is The Open and not the British Open.

                        Cameron Young with a dream first round -8. Nailed a good birdie on the 18th to finish his day.

                        Old man Ernie Els is -5 after 13 and is swinging like he was 20 years ago.

                          Love the Open, love the old course.

                          By rights the players should be ripping it to shreds in light conditions, but the course has put up an admirable fight.

                          Love where Cam Smith is. Didn't think he played all that well but his chipping and putting is so good he just hangs in there. The course is so well suited to him, getting up and down is probably going to separate the men from the boys.

                            @barbarian unreal that the leader his all 18 greens in regulation. Yes they are unnaturally large but balls were screaming off them too.

                            Super round.

                            Ryan Fox there or thereabouts at -1 and I think the other Kiwi is +1

                              The greens were playing fast and some weren’t dealing well with it.

                              A bit of controversy today about how long it took for some of the groups to complete the round. I read that it took some 6 hours! Someone on Twitter posted “Max Homa estimates it took them an hour just to play No. 14.”

                                @ACT-Crusader The mix of tough pins and driveable par 4s is a horrible combination for pace of play.

                                      The 150th Open / Sensational Smith becomes Champion Golfer of the Year

                                      Congrats to Cam Smith. Nicely done
                                      Managed to win a few bucks by picking him as the outright winner at $23
                                      Keep an eye on Cameron Young from the USA over the next few years, will be a major champion at some point, kids got game.

                                        Unreal performance from Smith. That back 9 was unbelievable.

                                        His putting is the best I've seen from anyone bar peak Tiger. When he's hot he just does not miss.

                                        Although the rumour is he is going to LIV Golf after the Presidents Cup. Not sure how I feel about that.

                                          @barbarian He is also one of the best, if not the best on tour in terms of his short game as well.
                                          This major triumph likely only the first of many for Cam. Kiwi connection too with his caddie Sam being a NZer. Nice payday for him as well I'm sure.
