The lack of Tiger and a pretty average course has meant this has been possibly the worst British Open in recent memory. Rory was the only hope for golf.
Truly gutted for Rory, just couldn't make it happen. I think all of us Brits and the wider golfing family will be of the mindset if it's not Tiger it should be Rory. So many heartaches, he didn't speak to the media after his round yesterday such was his devastation.
Never the same without Tiger there, but the show must go on even if his lack of presence casts a huge shadow over the tournament. Conditions should provide a true test, I don't fancy Rory I'm afraid, he's mentally shot at closing out Major's after his many near misses. I like Brooks...
