Not going to watch much if Tiger doesn't make the cut. But I'm always pulling for Mediate, Kim, and Perry

 

[Anubis]

Ive been watching, its been interesting, i honestly like it when other people who are not Tiger do well, especially at the Open tourny

Conditions def favored those who had a later start today, the weather is supposed to turn to shit again by the end of the weekend so things might get really interesting again

 

[meltdown75]

Weir bogeys and Glover birdies... 2-shot swing right before the end of play.

*blows air-horn*

there will be plenty of golf to watch tomorrow!

 

[GagHalfrunt]

10 1/2 hours of coverage today, I'm almost golfed out.

 

[meltdown75]

yep. i gotta go get my coffee and bagel... it's golf-watchin day!!!!

 

[fustercluck]

Maybe playing golf would be funner?...it sure would be more exercise - I know everytime I'm done playing golf I feel like I just got out of the hospital or something. Tip: Tivo golf (one of the best things to tivo) and go out and play 18. Come back. Skip all the boring stuff...get caught up.

 

[meltdown75]

i might go out later...

Probably another 10 1/2 hours of live coverage today too. Since they have to finish round 2 and get as much of round 3 in as possible they'll be going until dark again.

LOL - Tiger chili dipped a chip.

(twice... hahahah)

Roker just said he thinks play will be suspended later too due to incoming storms... that means it will be pushed back even more... wonder if they will even finish by the end of tomorrow...

When did Harrington develop his new swing? Terrible move to think about mechanics at the Open

 

[Via]

Tiger just rammed a putt through the break on a par 3 and Johnny Miller says (I kid you not):

"He hit that one too good. He hit it so pure it wouldn't break"

What an absolutely laughable comment.

This is why a lot of us appreciate Tiger as a great golfer but get annoyed by the excessive hype that constantly surrounds him.

this us open is a sham...winner based on advantageous tee times, not golfing ability. what a joke.

He started working on the changes about a month ago. His game slipped at the end of last year and he felt that he needed to do some things differently to become a contender more consistently. The changes obviously have not taken hold yet. It happens, getting worse is part of getting better.

You're an idiot. If you don't understand how tee times are determined at least have the courtesy to attempt to educate yourself before spouting nonsense.

Yep, and IMO the toughest part is resisting the urge to go back to what you know works in the face of difficulty.

are you that dense? It doesn't matter how the time was determined, specific tee times had a distinct advantage. fact.

I admit though, I don't know the specifics of tee times. Probably don't care to either

Why is Trajan using his driver to putt?

Tee times are random for the first two days of a tournament, things usually even out because of one morning and one afternoon start, but because of rain in this Open, some golfers played both rounds with favorable condition. If Ricky Barnes is to win this and never get another top 10 in a major, you have to think he got a little lucky with the tee time.
