Have I missed the British Open thread somewhere or is this just another sign that football is approaching?

Garcia is at the top of the leaderboard at -6. Daily was -5 at one point today and finished at +3 (I think).

I think the start time threw everybody off. I was listening to the coverage on XM when Daly made his first double bogey. He missed an 18 inch putt and in the span of 3 holes went from -5 to +1. :wacko:

Tiger made a birdie putt from about 80 feet on 16 I think.

So what kind of numbers are we talking to win this week? It is probably weather dependent. I don't mind low scores in majors, but I prefer that they not get too far into double digits below par.

with the East wind coming off the sea, the scores won't be too low, but if that dies down then they could get pretty low.

course is much more benign this time around. balls were backing up all over the place and stopping in the fairways on one hop. looked like a stateside even for a while, with a few berns thrown in for good measure. Kinda like playing a lookalike course in Dallas somewhere.

I don't know I really loved St Andrews so I just began to watch the British Open and I don't know why, but I just love to watch the british Open.

I totally agree with you. I have always loved watching the British Open. Other than the Masters, it is my favorite golf tournament to watch and the only golf i'll ever get up at 6am to tune into. I don't know what infactuates me about it but I just enjoy it.

Tiger hit 2 off the opening tee. Wonder if he showed up at the last minute like we typically do and asked his partner if they're hitting two off the first.

Tiger's flailing tee shots have jumped back in his bag today. He can turn a round on a dime, but he's not having a Tiger day on the links...

On the range they showed him hitting a mid to long iron and he was watching the balls for a very long time. That's typically a bad sign for those guys, cause when they're hitting it well, they simply hit and reload cause they know where it's landing and they need no feedback from the ball flight. Long stares on the range are often seeking feedback from the flight path. I actually made that comment to my neighbor and he nearly choked when the first tee shot went awry.

At his swing speeds, timing issues are deadly.

So at what point does el Sergio blow up?

that new belly putter might be all he needs. He hits it as well as anyone and chips / pitches incredibly. If he becomes an even average putter, he will be a force for many years.

That said, he left a ton of putts short today.

There was a discussion about that on XM this morning. I didn't see it, but they said there was a marked difference in the pace of his putts and that he looked a lot less aggressive today.

I was shocked, because he made all of the 4-6 footers that I saw, so you'd assume that he had no real fear about the comebackers.
