The commentators were saying that this is what brings in the crowds - people want to see eagles and birdies - for me I agree with Felix - can't get excited when for many, a drive and a chip bring an eagle opportunity (the 14th) :ohmy:

100% disagree

We’ve had lightning fast conditions on Thursday when the course tested everyone
Gloomy and drizzle on Friday and the players didn’t know what to make of it
Saturday the players took advantage of the soft greens
Today we don’t know what will happen if the expected winds arrive

Hoping for a really good last round from Tommy Fleetwood. Somehow think the Claret Jug belongs to Spieth, but Tiger may yet have the final say. He loves the Open
