Love The Masters and the US Open, but the British will always be THE Open Championship.
Great leader board, early on. Solid 3 under by Tiger this morning. Be interesting to see if he can follow it up with another good round tomorrow.

I saw a headline early this morning that Tiger was struggling. Glad he finished up his round well. It effs with AreGay when he does.

He started bogey, bogey, but finished the round with birdies on 5 of his last 8 holes. Great finish. Got to score today and tomorrow. Weather forecast is for "typical" British Open weather on the weekend.

Tom Watson had a rough front nine today. If he makes par on the back nine though he'll get to play the weekend.

Unless Rory chokes, next April in Augusta he will be attempting to be the 7th golfer to ever get a career grand slam. He'd join Gary Player as just the second non-American. Tiger, Jack, and Player are the last three to do it. Trevino never won a Masters. Tom Watson and Arnold Palmer never won the PGA. Ray Floyd and Byron Nelson never won the British. Phil still needs a US Open.

He'd be 25. That's probably younger than Tiger was when he won his 4th different major.

Rodent Face is kicking ass. Looked like Ricky Fowler was going to be able to stay with him until Rory eagled both 16 and 18 and Ricky's game went south in a hurry.
Saw somewhere that something like 5 years ago Rory's Dad and two of his buddies put 100 pounds with 400 to 1 odds with a bookmaker that Rory would win an Open Championship before age 26. Since he turned 25 in May this is the last chance for him to do so. As long as Rodent Face doesn't choke like a dirty dog his Dad and Dad's buddies stand to win 40,000 pounds, or just over 68000 American dollars.
Not a bad return on a $170 investment.

H8R. You and Are Jay need to get a room. Constantly jammed down our throats, even a picture of him on the wall behind the winners' interview.j
