The Open Championship

[kiddiedoc]

I'm looking forward to seeing if the rain and cooler temperatures hit tonight. Looking at the course, the "favorites" Tiger and Phil are going to have to straighten out the Big Stick or go more conservative off the tee if they're going to have a chance.

That being said, I think Tiger gets his act together after a very difficult couple of months and makes a nice run.

I heard that the course was playing so hard and fast that Tiger was actually considering not even carrying a Driver.

Tiger ought to use that two iron more often, he's pasting it on every tee shot.
-1 thru nine. He really looks solid.

 

[orange+white=heaven]

Eagle on 18 to go -5, one shot off the lead, and a Tiger "I'm Back" fist pump for emphasis. Jeez it's fun to watch him play the game!

He does makes it fun to watch golf. I like seeing a little fire in these guys. The little wussy wave after an eagle is just crap. I'd watch every week to see John Daly shotgun a beer after every 350+ drive.

Woods is unconcious this morning! -6 thru 15 with two par 5s to go for an overall -11 and a 2shot lead. Eagle on the par4 14th from 205 out.
Just insane!

just guessing but I think he'll make the cut.... :whistling:

PO'd that I am stuck at work and have to follow online.

 

[utvolpj]

It's perfect for him. He doesn't have to use the driver and his putter isn't killing him. He will be very hard to beat.

I think it's cause he wore an orange shirt yesterday!

 

[utvolpj]

I like seeing DiMarco up there too. That would be a great final group w/ Tiger.

Except it was more of a Clemson orange....

PS, that avatar creeps me out! I look forward to when you change it out. :mf_surrender:

Pretty incredible bunker play by Furyk!

 

[utvolpj]

With Els and Goosen that close it should be a great weekend.

 

[tidwell]

How is Phil doing?

 

[utvolpj]

He's -4, tied for 22nd place.

Tiger and Ernie in the last group off tomorrow, just the way God intended it to be! Love that pairing when it happens. DiMarco -- a former GATOR and still a huge UF fan -- is right there. He's a stubborn guy and owes Tiger one for the Master's last year.

 

[Lexvol]

What is the weather doing? I would like for the course to take a little revenge tomorrow and Sunday.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

These pairings increase ratings. Love to watch these guys go at it.

 

[utvolpj]

1. Tiger Woods -12
2. Ernie Els -11
3. Chris DiMarco -9
4. Retief Goosen -8

Should be a good couple of pairings

 

[tidwell]

I'm pulling for the African.

Go Ernie.

 

[utvolpj]

wow Sergio and Furyk are making a great run

 

[utvolpj]

Sergio and Tiger in the final round should be good.

 

[checkerboard_charly]

its already over.

 

[utvolpj]

its already over.

but they play again tomorrow :biggrin2:

 

[checkerboard_charly]

i know. but tiger is in the lead and it is over.

 

[utvolpj]

i know. but tiger is in the lead and it is over.

gotcha. I don't know though, Sergio put up a 65 today and Tiger a 71. I'm cheering for Tiger but it will still be good.
