Michael Singh+FollowLeishman Calls Out Brutal Open PaceMarc Leishman didn’t hold back after The Open’s marathon rounds at Royal Portrush, calling the six-hour pace “tough to deal with” compared to LIV’s quick shotgun starts. The Aussie’s frustration was echoed by Jason Day, as both struggled to adjust to the glacial speed and tricky course setup. Even Team USA’s Keegan Bradley shrugged, saying slow play is just part of the deal in these windy conditions. Is it time for majors to rethink their format, or is this just classic Open drama? #Sports #Golf #TheOpen21Share
