It's time now for the chipping forecast in association with Peter Millar, brought to you by Andrew Cotter, first mini-pod, first Chippilata of the week.

It is Wednesday at Royal Port Rush. It is a glorious day and Ian Carter and I, regular special guest,

and I are standing, where are we standing, Ian?

Standing right by the first tea, I'm just thinking it's a lightly fried chippalarta, isn't it?

Because it's a glorious sunshine, but there's just enough kind of cool in the air as well to make it extremely pleasant but we're standing here

right underneath the grandstand that horseshoes around the first tee and we look right down

that opening hole where rory mackereloy pointed out of bounds six years ago looks like it looks

so difficult to do doesn't it well it to be fair it does but from back here it it looks so difficult to do, doesn't it? To be fair. It does, but from back

here, it also looks very difficult to top it off the members tea there, but some great

players have done that in the past as well. So, actually, I duck hooked off that tea when I was

here in April and it's on the Five Live socials. Is it? It's out there with the shot tracker. Shot tracker. We might have to, we might be interrupted at some point because we've chosen or I've chosen to stand right beside the first tee and said, well, we're going to have to stop talking when some players come through. Some have just teed off. Dan Brown, John Parry were there. Dan Brown, had've known he had it, Trun. I wonder if he can.

And actually in good form.

Exactly, off the back of his victory.

What was it last week? The week before last. And there are some players that just love links golf as well. Chris Wood, remember? He always come to the open. Yeah, and Eddie talks about it, doesn't it? about the sort of weird biarrhythms that can go on

and some players are just seriously good at certain times of the year

and it feels like that's the case as far as Dan Brown is concerned

and I see who we've got the next group coming in

in my eyesight is not good enough from this distance

you've got lasers, laser eyes and glasses on

do you know the funny thing about the opener so we should recognise every single player You've got lasers, laser eyes and glasses on.

Do you know the funny thing about the open is?

So we should recognise every single player.
