Will Sergio win the open

mike65 · 21-07-2007 9:50pm #1

I'm praying he does, Europe needs a winner and I always like the guy, a more human version of Tiger Woods.

i think he is far enough ahead to win, I still remember last year when he was in the last group and out of it after the first hole though.

However today and yesterday he hit long iron after long iron rather than take any risks. If he does that tomorrow I'd doubt anyone can catch him.

irishtoffee · 21-07-2007 10:09pm

Yes i hope he does,he is a great player.

flanzer · 21-07-2007 10:21pm

I hope so. A real entertainer, always has a smile on his face. Would be great for the game

decies · 21-07-2007 10:22pm

wanabe · 21-07-2007 11:05pm

Can only lose it for himself i reckon, and he is more than capable of blowing up tomorrow!

Like to see him win it, when i was a kid playing golf and he burst on the scene he was always my hero (even called my kitten sergio after him!). Like the way he plays. Not as into the golf anymore but still have a soft spot for him.

Would prefer woods to win, just because he is the best ever and i want him to smash Nicklaus's record.

Id say sergio has it stricker is the only one who is in any position to challenge but that seems unlikely

hope the two irishlads finish well

Par72 · 22-07-2007 2:51pm

Sergio seems to be going through a bit of a shakey patch at the moment. I hope he can hold it together.

bigtimecharlie · 22-07-2007 3:10pm

Harrington on a charge, but McGinley has gone backwards, pity.

bigtimecharlie · 22-07-2007 3:25pm

Harrington tied for the lead, -4 for the day, no dropped shots. Come on Harry...

RuggieBear · 22-07-2007 4:00pm

looks like another argie!

The Black Oil · 22-07-2007 4:07pm

Getting interesting alright...

RuggieBear · 22-07-2007 4:12pm

go on harrington

bigtimecharlie · 22-07-2007 4:15pm

Harrington eagle on 14. This has him tied with A.Romero who faces a bogey put.

22-07-2007 4:22pm

This is a great finish, leaderboard changing every couple of minutes.

bigtimecharlie · 22-07-2007 4:22pm

McGinley has now eagled the 14th. he's back to -2.

Jigsaw · 22-07-2007 4:28pm

Both Garcia and Harrington would be worthy winners and it is pretty much gonna be either one of them.

Harrrington has built up a sense of momentum and I am keeping my fingers crossed for him. Would be great to see him lift the auld claret jug.

Just as I type this Garcia birdies to tie the lead with Harrington.

:eek:

ROCKMAN · 22-07-2007 4:32pm

great shot on 16th for harrington

22-07-2007 4:44pm

very impressed with Gary lineker's translating!!

mike65 · 22-07-2007 4:46pm

I guess Harringtons performance shows how waking up on day 4 of a major with no huge expectations can be of great advantage. Garcia has played a bit like a man under pressure.

Mike.

mike65 · 22-07-2007 4:56pm

OMG! Harington in the drink, he hit a bridge on thr 18th nearly ran right along it but it faultered and fell in a bern.

Mike

22-07-2007 4:59pm

ouch

22-07-2007 5:05pm

fraid it all ends in tears for harrington...

watery grave twice on the 18th

mike65 · 22-07-2007 5:06pm

and again! All Sergio has to do is regulation

Mike.

22-07-2007 5:23pm

Garcia in the bunker...

are we going to a play off?

The Black Oil · 22-07-2007 5:23pm

Garcia is in the sand...

The Black Oil · 22-07-2007 5:29pm

Ouch.

22-07-2007 5:29pm

playoff!

mike65 · 22-07-2007 5:30pm

OMG x2 Play off it is. I think Harrington will win now.

Mike.

darkskol · 22-07-2007 5:30pm

so tense

Thanx 4 The Fish · 22-07-2007 5:31pm

So do I, I stuck £50 on Harrington at 8.9 after he stuck the second ball in the water.

gubbie · 22-07-2007 5:31pm

I hope he does... but he won't...

mental07 · 22-07-2007 5:36pm

Won't this be a first major for whoever pulls it off?

mike65 · 22-07-2007 5:37pm

Yes and the first European since Paul Laurie in 1999.

Mike.

mental07 · 22-07-2007 5:38pm

My virtual money's on Sergio

darkskol · 22-07-2007 5:39pm

Can't find flag for 1st hole

TedKelly · 22-07-2007 5:43pm

C'mon Padraig.... would love to see him win it!

mike65 · 22-07-2007 5:44pm

I hope you've all packed a sandwich cos its a 4 hole play-off with sudden death only if all still square.

Mike.

slave1 · 22-07-2007 5:52pm

1st hole, Sergio from the bunker, not the best

Par72 · 22-07-2007 5:52pm

Looking good for Padraig now!!:D

No I think Sergio won one of the American one's... not 100% but I think I can remember it happening... but maybe it was something else

slave1 · 22-07-2007 5:55pm

2 shot swing on the 1st, c'mon P

Par72 · 22-07-2007 5:56pm

Sergio has never won a major and doesn't look like he will win this one either!

slave1 · 22-07-2007 5:59pm

sweet jezus, Garcia hit the pin on the 2nd

Par72 · 22-07-2007 6:00pm

High drama at it's best.

DJB · 22-07-2007 6:03pm

This is brilliant. C'mon Padraig!!!!
