    watching Tiger fall apart is disturbing.

    this is my favorite golf tournament of the year, scenery is amazing. I agree the colonials are looking strong so far.

    Tiger needs a 67 today just to make the cut.
    He's at +1 today already, not gonna make it, does the British Open grant past winners a ticket in?

    not automatically after so many years, they gave Tom Watson a special exemption so he could retire from Open there. not sure John Daly is still within exemption years, I would doubt they would give him special exemption.

    he's looking solid so far. I'm a little worried Justin couldn't make a move yesterday. hopefully he can finish out his round 1 or 2 under. when I saw about the cancel this morning I was upset, because this IS the British Open. I think a really tough day would be fun to watch, but then I saw winds gusting to 40-50 mph. that's a little beyond tough, impossible, they probably made the right call. :)

    Interesting to note that Jordon had five 3 putt greens today and still parred the course. If those 3 putts had been two putts he would be tied for the lead. He is not out yet...at 5 strokes back of Dustin Johnson.

    5 amateurs made the cut...Tiger did not. He stunk up the course the last two days yet it seemed like he was featured on TV much of the time. Glad we wont have to watch his struggles for the next two days at least. There is only so much human suffering i can take. ;)

    Jordon is one shot back of three players tied for first. Only one in contention to have won two majors or even one for that matter. He has a good shot at winning tomorrow. Thats all you can ask at this point.

    Dustin Johnson had a below par day by shooting above par. Lol

    Glad final round is tomorrow so I can watch, didn't keep up much yesterday (not much going on anyway) or today because of fishing, but I can watch tomorrow!

    I'm so happy, Jordan is in the hunt, DJ went down, Tiger went way down.

    This is a pretty close race. Tomorrow should be very exciting. Hopefully Jordan can pull it off. He seems to like leaving some drama for the last day

    And Padraig has won the Open 2x. Has proven he can play in the wet. One stroke behind Jordan.

    There are probably 15 guys with a legitimate shot at the championship...would not be surprised to see multi man playoff. I have sentimental and financial reasons for pulling for Sergio

    Right now, 3 leading, and 3 one shot back. What a dogfight! Too bad I'm at work and can't watch. :(

    DJ 75-75 serves the prick right. so talented, but anyone that uses drugs and makes such bad decisions can't be stable and consistent enough to be one of the greats.
