I watched abut an hour of it this morning before I went to work and I'll do that again tomorrow.

For those who think Rory McElroy doesn't have the game to play in the wind, he acquited himself nicely today. +1 is right in it. I think the final score will be somewhere around par, no matter what Bjorn did today.

[Bromikka]

Rory McIlroy finished the day at +1.

Rory McIlroy finished the day at +1.

Both he and Luke Donald. One of those two is going to win it.

I will catch some of it on the w/e, but not interested enough to bother while I am at work. Which links is it this year?

Royal St. Georges, in southest England. A real moonscape with consistent winds. It is considered kind of unfair by American standards because you can get screwed with a well struck shot, and get rewarded with a wayward one. A very firm surface with the ball bouncing all over the place. Players who can recover with chipping and putting will have a huge advantage over players who like to fire at pins.

Sounds like my kind of course.

Know it well as I played it a lot on my Jack Nicklauss Video game.
I love those English links w/o all the trees and the wide fairways and big greens that seem to blend in w/ the fairways.

Golf legend Tom Watson rolled back the years with a magical hole in one on the second morning of The Open at Sandwich.
Watson played the perfect four iron tee shot on the short sixth, with the ball bouncing once and flying straight into the hole.

I saw that and it was glorious. Tom is going to make the cut and play the weekend.

Game for a lifetime.

Awesome for Tom...could not imagine the feeling of hitting an Ace in a major.

[vqIo7X2U]

Our Minnesotan, Tom Lehman, is right in the mix.

[foodselfdourileka]

Sounds like my kind of course.

I laughed out loud.

There are a lot of bigger names not going to make the field.

Westwood, Harrington and Donald out in particular. Still, the leader board is packed with good players within a few shots of the lead. Kaymer, Glover, Schwartzel, McElroy, Yang (all recent Major winners), D. Johnson, Scott, Mickelson, Sergio, Kim, Love, Lehman, Stricker, Fowler...they are all in the game. It will be an interesting weekend.

Boy...Clarke is doing his best to blow this by missing some really easy putts.
