    Loved all 4 days watching them struggling out the rough and bunkers was a joy to watch, no -20 rounds that were used to just brilliant, hope Portrush are watching and set up similar

    Burns got * over majorly with not being able to take relief from the puddle he found himself in. Can’t help but think if that had been certain other players they’d have got relief without question.

    Thought it was a great tournament to watch though, makes for enjoyable viewing when they’re struggling badly as opposed to the usual birdie fests we’re used to watching.

    I don't mind seeing them struggle for a change, but I don't think well executed shots should be punished so often as they were. Almost impossible to stick the greens at times and when a tee/approach shot into the wrong slope sends you into unplayable rough it's not really a test of skill but a fair amount of luck.

    Think there's better ways of testing a golfer than giving them unplayable surfaces to play on.

    That’s the ultimate choke from fleetwood. That’ll hurt for a long time

    Fleetwood absolutely shat it. Some finish from Bradley, but for Fleetwood not to make par from where he was is a total bottle job. Could see it coming too.
