A lot of buzz over here about this the Starbucks in Belfast is opening at 4.30am beside my work for people heading to Portrush!!

Why is Speith such a high price - thought he was one of the worlds best??

He hasn't won a PGA Tour event since the 2017 Open.

Always thought he was top 5 in the world.

Former champion David Duval said he was resigned to finishing last at The Open at Royal Portrush after posting a 20-over-par 91 - the tournament's worst round in 22 years.

His calamitous round included a 14 on the par-five seventh where he incurred a two-shot penalty for hitting the wrong ball before he produced a triple bogey on the 17th.

He actually started his round with 2 birdies and 2 pars lol

Shane Lowery with a four-shot lead going into the final round. It must be his Open to lose now.

He's lost from the position before at the US Open a few years back so you never know. Meant to be bad weather here this afternoon too but that may help him more than the Americans!
