The Open @ Carnoustie (NO POLITICS)

[nogamejames]

It's only Thursday. I guarantee DJ will be around Sunday. So sure in fact I will be wagering a top 5 finish after the round.

Debatable.

 

Played horrible today. Tried to overpower the links, didn't turn out to well for him.

C'mon Tiger. No excuse making par on that par 5 with 5 iron in hand and that missed short putt. He makes me nervous on short putts when he used to be 99.99999999999%

 

Well, he used to be a good putter ;-). So did Horton Smith!

IMO those two have exactly the same odds of winning this tournament.

No, was from knee deep rough on the right.

[legitimategolf]

More lead tape Tiger.

[Rangeballz]

Tee ball ended up in scrotum high rough, punched out and the ball jumped the burn, ran through a bunker, which took enough steam off the ball to prevent it from going through the much discussed OB left of 18 green. Unbelievable....

[cardoustie]

thought someone would go very low early today .... didn't happen. Pins tucked nicely I guess

Tiger tweaked his neck sleeping on an unfamiliar pillow? Ship your favorite mattress, pillow and all, to wherever you're staying.

 

He was staying at Dufner's.

When we used to watch the Open Championship many a fortnight ago, the visual quality of the broadcast was akin to waking up about 4 in the morning after a day of drinking and having your dried contact lenses vacuumed to your eyes.

 

Long live HD!

[imakaveli]

Nice birdie at the 18 for Sergio... wrong year though...

[MilkyButterCuts]

Why do they keep cutting away right as someone addresses the ball???

[nogamejames]

Tiger got away with one there

[TreyWingbat]

Tiger with a strong 63 today!

 

(Through 16 holes).

Debatable.

his score is certainly horrible. there were such little TV coverage of him. The little we did see, he left himself pretty small irons to the greens and only parred. Did he eventually end up in bad spots plus no putting I assume? par 3 tee shots were not good. I wonder if he'll try and do the same tomorrow for a low score to get back in it, which could end up in a +12 effort and an early plane ride back home.

Agreed, I think there is a nice fine line between being agressive like DJ and Koepka (started) and Tigers strategy. Nice fine blend of them both will score best.

 

The difference between DJ and Koepka is that Koepka was smart enough to realize it wasnt working, mid-round.

[i*windows]

love the slower greens, makes me feel so much better about leaving everything short today

[MilkyButterCuts]

Annnnnnnnd he's in EVEN..... whew. :fie:

[ClarkGrswld4]

5 hour round...14 hours until round two tee time...needs to go grab dinner, get a rub and tug, then hit the sheets...67 tomorrow

[Potatohead]

I was debating putting a few bucks on Tiger because he always sucks on slow greens. But I also think this event is his best chance at a major.

[MilkyButterCuts]

Tiger off at 5:20 am ET.... RIP to us on the west coast.

[imakaveli]

Overall pretty good round by Tiger and solid finish!
