It's time now for the chipping forecast in association with Peter Millar, brought to you by Andrew Cotter, Eddie Pepp forecast, wrapping up the Open Championship.

What is it? It's five to eight on Sunday evening and this isn't going to be our big weekly pod.

You've still got that to come, you're lucky buggers.

What was that your opening, Ian Carter's special guest?

My editor, Simon Fote, he was his last day today.

40.

And he's put into my hand a Ben Loman Scottish gin, premium gin and tonic.

There we are.

And I feel like having that sooner rather than later.

so wow and i haven't ventured into the set i've been here since for over a week and i haven't

He's going very... He's saying controversial things. Hot takes. Hang a sec. No, he says someone else is making some points now. but he's slamming the table and he's doing,

this is what we should do, just be a bit more animated, because finding the energy at the end of the Open Championship, again, this is not, oh, my heart bleeds for you, they will say, but it's, this happened last year, at Trune, I remember I'd hit the wall, and I wasn't, I wasn't a happy man for once in my life, I wasn't but it was

we're all talked out
