[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Doesn't he call himself Irish?

I mean, I don't care, I want him to win anyway, but just for pedantry reasons...

He has a British passport

 

[BevBHA]

If they draw the play off do they just keep playing the 18th hole until someone wins?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

He has a British passport

Presumably has an Irish one too.

I mean, you would if you could, right? Gives you far more rights.

I'm not though. At football anyhow. Not a huge golf fan but got sucked in to this, but can't keep my eyes open any longer. Hope you get the right result.

I don’t mind who wins….it’s just gripping sport.

I think they are playing the 18th once, then they will go to the 10th and play from there. Faldo won a play-off on the 11th

"McIlroy is from Holywood near Belfast, and Olympians from Northern Ireland are allowed to choose whether they represent the Republic of Ireland or Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the United Kingdom), given the nation’s divided history.

Ahead of the competition in Tokyo, he had the choice of representing either team but explained that he chose Ireland simply because “he has always” in international golf. McIlroy has said he “feels more British” than Irish but always played under the Irish flag when competing on a national stage as a junior and felt no need to switch allegiances for the Games in Tokyo."

This seems mean. The guy who misses his chance on the final hole has to go straight back to the 18th again for the play off.

Harsh

It’s 18th/10th and repeat

 

[KZNSeagull]

Oh right, ok.

 

[Pevenseagull]

No pressure

 

[KZNSeagull]

2 superb shots from both players.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Lovely shot by Rory

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Lovely shot by Rory

The pressure on them here after those shots!!

 

[BevBHA]

Bet he’s thinking why could I do that last time. His tee shot was almost identical to land him there

 

[A1X]

It's all up for grabs now!

 

[SouthSaxon]

just the adrenaline shot I need before hitting the hay

 

[Papa Lazarou]

All on this putt

 

[SouthSaxon]

Surely this time…

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Fantastic

 

[SouthSaxon]

Played, that lad
