For what it is worth, Dustin Johnson impressed me the most today in terms of ball striking. My favourite moments came from watching Tom Watson and Miguel Angel Jiminez interacting with the spectators with as much class as they still demonstrate with their shot making.

DJ is an enigma to me. 18 months ago I said on paper that he and Stenson should be 2 of the best players in the world. Stenson then came on like gangbusters. DJ has the skills but golf is a hard game.

DJ struggles with those crucial short putts that can make or break a tournament. Plus comes across very aloof at times. Sometimes wonder how focused he is on the task at hand.

Todd Lewis said on Saturday that Tiger missed "most" of his fairways. Other than that, no one seems to be able to provide any evidence that he's in poor form.

The guys he's played with said he looked good, and Frank Nobilo and Rich Lerner said he seemed satisfied with where he was at.

Nick Faldo is a .... . He thinks he knows what he's talking about but most of the time his goal is just to say something negative or downgrading. He went and critiqued Tiger's swing again at the end of last week. I hope Tiger shoves those comments up Faldo's opening real fast.

TW's current form not withstanding, I find it beyond strange that you would think that Nick Faldo only "thinks he knows what he's talking about".

Tiger Woods may or may not be playing well at this point- indeed we shall find out soon enough. What's indisputable is NF's body of work in the game of golf- he knows as much about the swing as anyone else on the planet. [b]If he's not qualified to critique a fellow player's game, tell me, who is...[/b]

Brandel Chamblee. (sarc) Yeah Faldo only has three green jackets and three claret jugs. What does he know.

Actually, Brandel Chamblee is a much better analyst. He actually does his research and thinks deeply about things before he presents them on-air. Faldo doesn't. He blurts out things that he thinks are accurate (because he thinks winning those majors automatically makes him justified) and often times he's not right.

Chamblee does his job very well. Have no problem with him. Faldo, on the other hand, does a poor job presenting factual things and his style can be very annoying, and when you combine those, it just makes me want to turn the channel.

I have a question about keeping track if the action online. Is there anything equivalent to shot tracker available? My favorite players aren't the guys that golf channel spotlights unless they are in the top 5. Is there a website that updates scores pretty close to real time ir shows shot by shot detail for the field? Any advice is appreciated.

Is there any real time streaming video coverage like Augusta?

So the players say he looks good and the analysts say he looks lousy. Should be interesting...

You don't want to be the player that says Tiger is not playing good

there are various BBC feeds for marquee groups (usually 2 a day), don't know if you can access those either a) online or b) from the states. You should be able to get them from the BBC Sport website if you use a UK proxy though.

edit: forgot just how amazing the coverage is, had a look and it is 9am to 8pm on the first two days. One of the side streams is coverage of holes 13,14 and 15

There is, if you download the official Open app from iTunes.

They have radio, livestream.
