Redmond: Cam Smith, St. Andrews

Cameron Smith long threw nine defenders, fired 30 shots, and stole the maroon pitcher from Rory McIlroy, who failed to save his life.

I was watching the last nine on the big screen next to the 17th.pearl hole, thousands of people were ready to explode if McIlroy hit, but sadly it didn’t. At least Cameron Smith is a great guy and a worthy champion, so Pitcher is in good hands. . . unless he’s on the LIV Tour as advertised.

The Scots are very kind, but they are distinguished by Braveheart fortitude. You wouldn’t believe how many people are wearing t-shirts when it’s 62 degrees outside and it’s windy. They also have a great sense of humor. Greensman in the golf cart tries to navigate the large crowd but moves in the opposite direction, continuing to chant “beep, beep, beep” loudly and repeatedly as he drives. “He looks like my son when he goes to the mall,” one fan exclaimed when Justin Thomas first got to his feet in a hoodie and joggers.

There does not seem to be a general consensus in society about which side of the road to choose. Although people always go to the right in America, I asked some Scots and they said that there is no general rule. So you can have a huge crowd of people in shambles trying to get around each other and make a big mess. Maybe it’s a clash of European cultures, because people from 20 different countries gather here and all follow their own instructions. From now on we will all walk to the right.

Ernie Els plays yellow ball. No golfer has ever won a major tournament with a colored ball. Jerry Pate won the 1982 Players Championship with an orange ball, and Ray Floyd played the occasional orange ball in the early ’80s, but never won a major tournament with it. Ernie started well and dropped below 5, but stumbled and was disappointed. Do whatever you want of him.

Scotland has its fair share of scary old people. You can see where Jethro Tull got his idea for scuba gear as you wander around the city. Sitting on a bench in the park…

On Friday, the fans were in a festive mood and the beer flowed like water. Later that day, some fans were so drunk they thought every golfer they saw was Rory McIlroy, even though he had played almost an hour earlier. Ming Woo Li must have been surprised after a great first nine hits.pearl drill a hole and say “Rory! Rory! . .

South African golfer Triston Lawrence probably said, “This is Triston, not Thurston!” Tired of people saying it. Maybe if he says “Mahal, mahal” to his wife.

st. Andrews is truly the best place in the world for golf tournaments. The trail is right in the heart of the city, along the beautiful St. Andrews. You go out the back door and it’s a group bar where people drink and party. I remember Wrigley Field. Just a golf lovers paradise.

I don’t know much about Japanese golfer Yuto Katsuragawa, but Rashomon is one of the best movies ever made.

After his extraordinary round 67 at Dustin Johnson’s press conference Friday, as he finished early, I was going to ask him if he would use the time to travel to Edinburgh and tour the castle. …it would have been better if they hadn’t called me. He was flooded with questions about his transition from PGA Tour to LIV golf and whether he was bothered by the criticism. The answer is correct, DJ, “everyone has an opinion and I have mine and all I care about is mine.” It’s hard to argue with that.

On Thursday, it took Matt Fitzpatrick’s band an hour to play 15.pearl hole

This topic came up when talking to a French television company: Why aren’t there good golfers in France? Victor Perez is currently ranked 107thpearl He is the highest ranked French golfer in the world. A great first world country with great weather and great sports in general. They have more than 700 golf courses that are more than twice the size of Ireland and better weather conditions. It’s a mystery. French professional Michael Lorenzo-Vera says this is because golf in France is only considered for rich kids, and the education system teaches the negatives instead of emphasizing the positives. That’s an explanation, but it doesn’t make much sense to me. Golf is for the rich, bad boys in America, and we’re raising a lot of great players.

“If you’re going to be an actress people will remember, St. Andrews.” This is the 1978 Jack Nicklaus line displayed throughout the city. It’s a bit of a random comment if you think about it. Jack also won twice, so that’s easy to say. He won me 5 open championships but never St. Andrews, don’t people remember golfers?

Matthew Fitzpatrick is a golfer you’ve looked at differently since he won a major championship. I used to see him as a skinny guy with a crazy kick that nearly drowned the Ryder Cup. Now after that clutch ignited on the pillbox 18pearl Hole in Brooklyn, that’s cool. That’s why you should earn a major in golf.

Give credit to the English players – they don’t play. The only three T-shirts I’ve seen here are St. Andrews, Americans wearing Kevin Looney Golden St. Warriors (strange), Joe Thornton San Jose Sharks (alien), and LeSean McCoy Buffalo Bills (strangeest).

Clapping in the press room is considered awkward, but when Rory went to the bunker on Saturday, I clapped and screamed. I have some dissenting opinions, but who cares what these media types think. As a great man said, they are enemies. . . peoples.

So congratulations to Cam Smith. He really deserved it. I have a feeling McIlroy won’t be able to complete the deal. He played well, but in this field you have to shoot and score to win, because the game is easy with light wind and no rain. It’s hard to put up with all the pressure when all the fans are desperately cheering for you. Just ask Ming Woo Lee.
