Somebody should tell Nick that Brooks did shout fore at the time. What a clueless, horrible comment.

Nice to see Josh Antmann from the Sky sports golf podcast doing the interviews for Sky. I don't think he's ever been on TV before yet he's already 100 times better than Hennie Koyack.
Mc ginley enters the box and goes Rahm under pressure to make the cut. He was level par. Not like he was on wrong side of cut line
Dougherty: "We've yet to see those Spieth-like putts today"
He's 6 under for his last 8 holes!
Another gem from Nick 🙄
But we haven't tbf, needs the one on the last
He holed plenty to be fair, maybe not from 30 feet but loads of 12-15 footers, just thought it was an odd thing to say
Ewen Murray and those rehearsed lines. You can tell he has been sitting on that "A Royal Performance" line for a while. Every major he has a rehearsed line for the Sky ads/montages.
McGinley not giving Morikawa much credit there, saying it was a "professional" performance. The guy is 24 and just coasted to the title on his debut!
If McIntyre had done that the lads would've probably passed out with excitement
"the lads would've probably passed out with excitement"
We could have only hoped 😅
Ah the Sky lads really love 'Bob' don't they? Dougherty was distraught when he went OB on the 14th.
I had to laugh at McGinley wearing a heavy looking sleeveless fleece during the wrap-up. He must be spending too much time in Florida.
Funniest moment for me over the weekend was when Dougherty introduced Faldo to the commentary booth: 'Welcome Sir Nick' to which Faldo replied: 'Thanks little Nick.'
I find Nick Faldo a bit annoying tbh. Its all "when I was at my peak I would do such and such a drill'. I doubt anyone really cares.
Nick seemed to be getting a bit emotional when they were standing in the long grass after the win, saying “this is our major”, while speaking to an American (Beem) and an Irishman (Mc Ginley).
i bet they didn’t like Morrikawa referring to it as the British Open in his speech.
