Starts in a few hours. Might as well go ahead and jinx a couple of guys. Throwing Tiger out, Ill go with Ian Poulter. Sleeper: Sean O'Hair.
I like Paul Casey with Hunter Mahan as my sleeper. I also think Ogilvy, Westwood, and Stenson have a shot. Should be a low scoring tournament with the wind and tight fairways.
I turned the TV on shortly after getting up and thought I was seeing a replay from 30 years ago. Tom loves the links courses in Scotland and the Scots love Tom. Would be nice to see him hoist the Claret Jug for the 6th time Sunday although the odds are against him.
Tom Watson leading the Open? Wow... Looks like he may be this years Norman. Speaking of Norman, I see him and Faldo are fighting it out once again. Only this time its for last place.
Tom Watson comes out with a birdie on the opening hole, then proceeds to bogey 5 of the next 6 holes to fall all the way back to -1. He just made about a 50 foot birdie and has gotten it all the way back to -4, unbelievably, after 16 holes. He has a good chance of playing in the final pairing on moving day tomorrow. 59 years old. That's unreal.
Tiger, as it stands now, would not make the cut. He is only on 12. So lots of golf to go. I am sure he will make the cut, somehow. He's Tiger.
Tiger now at +7, which absolutely no chance to make the cut now. He was even for the tourney after 7 holes today. 7 over in the next 6 holes. Egad!
Ok, now this is getting ridiculous. Tom Watson with another 40+ footer on 18 to birdie and end up at -5, even for the day and tied for the lead with Steve Marino. I am at a loss for words.
