Just want to say hello and welcome back to the open and on a scale of 1 to 10 Brayson how much do you love Links Golf uh I would say like a nine it’s it’s a lot of fun there are times where it’s like man I just got really screwed and
That’s that one but other than that it’s a lot of fun I you got to be precise and strategic and think through the golf course which I like I actually like doing that I played well at balderama a couple weeks ago and um that’s definitely a golf course you got to
Think through so hopefully that pays off here if there’s someone that can think through things we know it’s you or overthink good luck and all the be thank you mate well the fact you dragged yourself all the way out to 11 the least I could do is have a little chat oh you

That ever happened M um no but I got to lift my butt oh that’s really good there mate yeah moving through that lovely very nice where am I where where’s the camera is it in front of me or behind me uh it’s one just in front of me just there
Yeah got two of them yeah if you could try not to wait at them though I mean it would look dramatic but they’re doing a great job so how high is this going to go is this going to be a stinger with run oh there you go looking at our
Amateur Champion with a driver how Fun’s this I mean I know what he’s capable of I know where he’s going to hit it I just don’t see the shot but this is fun to watch that’s get over the corner H get over the corner um I would do the
Same I actually played the brabs and trophy here in 2010 I have like one of the best pictures of like me on a golf course ever from that moment it’s not a lot yeah it’s going backwards receding and I’m fine with it I don’t really care but
That’s a good head of her to this picture is off the chart right well can you see that no no that’s F Lion’s man that’s not you yeah way it’s just remarkable hair and look who’s joined me Colin Mor cow thanks for letting us in
Mate before we go in how cool is it to see that sign as a Champions corner it’s amazing I mean just to know the history you know obviously there’s not too many guys still playing but the history that’s on the Clare jug uh it means the world look who’s waiting right here we
Got we got Franchesco waiting he’s waiting he’s waiting to get in the locker we’ll let him go come on Fry yeah get in here see I unless someone has a last name of between us we’re going to be sharing lock we’re going to be sharing lockers here for for a long long
Time how do you feel about that for a long time yeah I’m happy happy to be next to coling it’s lot I mean you’re a lot older than me you know it’s okay all right well let always always a compliment well let’s follow there yeah
The nice the nice ones are the ones that have multiple numbers on a couple of multiple numbers what is that the next goal that’s what you want yeah this entire this entire row I think only has one uh so we got some work to do but
Yeah yeah we we want to add another number like Padre right there get it back to back that’s impressive s Nick Feld excuse me mate excuse me m he doesn’t need your advice mate give him a break or sorry L sorry mate we’re just working on the menus
That’s the most important thing in the r cup is is all this beautiful food that’s all that’s all I’m going for yeah B if you put it up the lip of that so it’s not the bunker shot that’s a problem it’s the previous shot it’s a he’s not getting that out is
He well he is oh no not this goes to show how big these bunkers are the rollof areas keeps it nice and clean look at our 51 years old and still is look at Supple as a gymnast I remember this time last year talking to him before the final round what a special
Round of 64 it was jeez that was close cam come on I want to H there you go well done thanks how does it feel to be a defending champion back at the open yeah it’s good it’s a good thing isn’t it it was uh it was actually tougher
Than I thought giving the thing back to be honest it was um kind of crept up on me I didn’t didn’t really know what to to think of it and um it feels like I only had it for a few days and I had to give it back uh last year’s gone so
Quick so um yeah want to get it back one final word what you what you got well what a word in particular or I just wanted to see how you going how’s your week being good all good fantastic go home and get some rest for tomorrow enjoy all right best of luck appreciate
It simple was there okay let me see let’s see 190 to start with and then we can start figuring out what happens after that that wasn’t too bad oh 197 ball speed I think you you’re getting pumped up with this 197 ball speed that’s what our monitor says oh that’s ridiculous
3155 yards of carry okay so put in a bit of effort on this one you guys want me to hit a hard now I want to see one I want to see the full beans one time I actually promised myself this week but now you guys have forced me
Yeah well just do it once just do it once gotcha goodness gracious 202 oh he’s done that’s why I donated hard right don’t right Hey listen when never we don’t care about where it’s going we don’t it doesn’t matter here I want you I want you to
Just chill out you just doing what you’re doing sir don’t get don’t get sucked into what Simon H want you to do ter pretty casual forall today isn’t it it is Wednesday just a standard Wednesday wor Wednesdays he has had worse Wednesdays they’ve set the standard here
Terell Terell by the way is an unbelievably good chipper unbelievably good chipper it’s just like a little clip isn’t it very stable Club head up and drop pop on the ball shunts forward hit into the into the UPS slope unhappy with that now I still think you look quite
Fresh faced a youngl looking lad but 2014 seems like a while ago you had a great top five finish here can you remember much from that yeah definitely that in 14 it was a solid week you know being in the final group with Rory and came up a little short but yeah
Different week I mean I think it’s the course I would say is a little softer and slower than what it was but uh yeah good place to be quite a weird setup just to give me something that I can trap and something I can still hit really high which I think is in’s
Picking up on two s irons I mean I’ve got the opportunity to have 15 clubs here tomorrow for sure uh we will work on that Tommy Fleetwood judge py good afternoon not a bad day at the office in your backyard uh yeah yeah it was it was
A it was a good day um yeah very cool hey guys um I guess to have a 5 under in the bag is not too bad either yeah I mean we’ll take it for now at the moment we’re lead in the open which is quite a cool feeling technical amazingly good
Talent really hasn’t changed that swing in all the years I’ve watched him that’s not not changed no I think that’s right it’s like if we put together like a a 10 swings over the four 30 years that he’s been on our screens it would all they would all and you copied them over
They’d all look the same the magic of the erniel Rhythm helps to be about 6′ six and strong as an ox but here we go so nice and soft in the hands and load and release and look how forward his right shoulder is all the way through to
Us unfortunately my record in the open wasn’t as good as I would like it if I was second in 2005 second at St Andrews to God I forget I forget his name Woods someone no it wasn’t bad uh I beat the rest of them that was all right but it
It was it was always fell at the wrong time for me the open after the Scottish open it was the Irish open and the Scottish open and I I happen to have done particularly well in those events and it took a lot out of me he’s the man of the moment metal
Spikes Harry on the B hear that silence around him what did I say 54 seconds on [Applause] Q wooo well it’s fair to say this open championship’s probably about to really kick off have a look at this driving iron speeded yeah it’s oomph same ball speed as molinari’s t-
Shots that’s not going to be good for Franchesca he’s not going to enj enjoy that but that is a good old clip isn’t it just a little two iron off the te the low one the Stinger 67 ft of Apex drilled low launched at six really going to move
Forward Ricky F’s also join the putting green as well um bizarrely he’s decided to stand on the other side of the fence uh which is an interesting option oh there you go that’s awesome yes he well done I love that yeah that’s your hero Ricky Ricky Fowler he’ll be
There in a few minutes I bet you get a photograph with him he will not be far away great yeah 3 an hour this is a full old hii pause at the top and this it was a drill that he used to do that sort of became his swing so
It’s like load and what he’s trying to do is create a big separation between between his lower body and his upper body so he pauses the upper body to give his lower body time to Fire and Fire it does this is going to be the biggest
Event of his life cuz he’s in form he’s the Local Hero he’s got all the experience you need he’s got all the game you need to win a and all the support yeah but that’s so nice isn’t it the camaraderie lovely George knuckles for George sun JM now we’ve not seen a cover
For the whole bag that’s the Le the Lesser spotted cover for the whole bag I like that I would I would have one of those keep the kit dry I love that like a Mac little little the little brush on the hip as well that’s the new thing to
Have I’m not sure I’m a fan of that you know what though it was like when you were seven years old your grandma would buy you one of those and you look at it and you go I can’t believe someone bought through that now the lead players
In the world have got that little gadget on there and it’s cool current leader 10 undera Brian Harmon what a round of golf it was he’s doing the media loops and we are very lucky to be joined by the man of the moment hello Brian how
You doing very good nice to see you how do you summarize that afternoon of golf yeah played played really well Struck it well um when I got out of position which you’re inev inevitably going to do here I was able to make pars and uh seemed
Like when I got some birdy looks made them and then to finish with an eagle on 18 was nice how does it feel with a packed house on the 18th Green toing in an eagle PT like that I I enjoy playing over here so much the fans are so
Knowledgeable they’ve got you know they just they they know when good shots you know sometimes you’ll hit a 4 to 30 ft and everybody claps it’s it’s nice to play in front of them oh no way that’s oh that’s a little swing Aid look at that we haven’t seen that B on little
Bit of the old wrist um like that compression angle in the back of the right wrist you like a bit of that Peter yeah so the the feeling for everyone kind of watching this at home is as he moves through the ball here that little
Scoop uh on his right wrist he wants his right hand to slot into that at impact and he just keeps the handle pressed ahead of impact I’m right here with the man of the moment he’s looking good lovely crisp white and blush trousers yep yep he locked a bit of
That he doesn’t look very edgy to me Tony no I agree you know he’s just strolling along you you know and outwardly you’ve got to keep that calm appearance too for your playing partners and your fellow competitors you don’t want them if you are nervous you don’t
Want them to see it no this is I I think that’s absolutely right this is this is like poker isn’t it yeah here we go Harmon cack-handed with what looks to be an old VHS tape on the end of a stick I think that might be the box that his shoes came
In he’s working for a long time here on wedges Simon is this is this more is this longer than usual for Rory I I think you know what I think Rory this is this is tempo isn’t it so maybe maybe don’t hit so many five Ires don’t hit
Many drivers and work on these to control you can see that’s well undercooked isn’t it just Rory just clipping a few away or maybe just feels as though with the way the turf is I just need to hit a few more wedges hello Gareth Bale just walks past my goodness
I think we’ll get a chat with him hopefully uh very shortly he’s just going to do a couple of media things and uh you look like your good mates with Gareth Bale we got stuck on a plane once actually and we were just chewing the fat for Absolut about 2 3 hours totally
Golf obset have you ever been this close to The claric Jug I have not and it’s yeah something special obviously it’s very this is the closest you’ll ever get to it is it well just got a bit closer yeah are we I’m not sure we’re allowed
To touch it we’ll just stay we’ll stay a distance away what did you play off I’m off one at the moment so that’s really good Pete it’s a good one as well he really good I know have a look at his swing when you get a chance it’s very
Very very talented and what what have you built in your garden have you you’ve got you had a par three or something yeah in W it’s my yeah my house in Wales I have three um par 3es built into the house lit obsessed with the game aren’t
You yeah yeah it’s yeah it’s a good thing there’s a lot of worse things to be addicted to I think what’s it totally how do you keep loose how do you avoid the enormity of the situation he was amazing yesterday and if he’s equally amazing today he could put it
Past the spectacular chasing pack he is leading by five five shots they’ve got to chase him down they got to put a question in his mind yes hello guys we are joined by the 2023 silver medalist Christo lamp Christo what a month it has been an amateur champion and now the silver
Medalist that must be pretty special feeling yeah it’s it’s pretty surreal I’m not going to lie it’s um it’s an honor to be standing here today and and be the last amateur standing at the open my first open too so um yeah I’m really proud of myself well if it stays as it
Is we’re going to statistically have the tallest man in the field with the shortest man in the field with Brian Haron that’ll make for a good photo yeah um he’s going to look even smaller with a Clara jug next to him but yeah no it’s going to it’s going to be pretty funny
Hopefully it is him
