Looks like some rough conditions out there today with the high scores posted already. Who will step up in the absence of Tiger? Mickelson already in with a 79 (+9).

how bout Greg Norman being even thru 10!

7/17/2008 10:54:51 AM

^Yea that kind of made me lol

Surprised to see David Duval with a 73. Tim Clark is only 2 over thru 8!

7/17/2008 10:58:49 AM

Anthony Kim is only +1 (through 9)

7/17/2008 11:44:22 AM

Good to see Rocco on top again in a major

7/17/2008 1:42:13 PM

I'm praying for a Greg Norman/Rocco Mediate/Tom Lehman playoff

7/17/2008 2:28:58 PM

7/17/2008 2:31:53 PM

^haha, that would be discouraging

Quote :

"Craig Parry, the first player to tee off Thursday morning, said 16 holes played directly into the wind. One time he absolutely killed his 3-wood. It went 180 yards."

Looks like it is still raining of there. Could see some huge two day scores if the conditions continue. 150 making the cut?

7/17/2008 10:16:09 PM

damn! another even par 70 from Greg Norman!!

and wtf: Villegas threw a 65 today and everyone's favorite British Open golfer Jean Van de Velde is tied for 15h.

7/18/2008 9:05:09 AM

Woo hoo Duval!

I know a lot of people don't like him, but he was one of the few with talent to match Tiger....I wish he could regain his form.

7/18/2008 2:16:07 PM

the bbc live text is quality! here's a sample...

Mickelson hits his approach to within 10 feet of the pin, a birdie would take him to seven over. Mickelson flashes that sheepish little grin of his as he marches down the fairway, he looks like a small boy who's just been praised by his mum after using a proper toilet for the first time.

Daly with the quintuple bogey on 13

to be honest, I don't think I've carded a 9 on a par-4 in my life

then again, I've never played a PGA major calibre course in those conditions

7/18/2008 3:29:17 PM

Furyk FTW

7/19/2008 3:13:51 AM

pullin for norman and rocco all the way

especially norman, thatd be crazy

7/19/2008 3:41:20 AM

it would be fucking great to see Norman win, but if he somehow gets a 6 shot lead going into sunday....we all know how THAT will turn out.

7/19/2008 8:41:10 AM

Jesus this course is fucking brutal today

these guys are missing 8 foot putts by 6 feet

7/19/2008 12:35:37 PM

Norman is your leader by 2 going into Sunday!

7/19/2008 2:50:08 PM

It would be awesome to see Norman win it. He was my favorite golfer before Tiger came on the scene.
I remember watching him choke away a lead at Augusta one year. (I think that was it)

7/19/2008 3:30:48 PM

he choked the lead away at augusta multiple times

at least in 86 and 96 when nicklaus and faldo won

he did it again when larry mize (I think it was mize) chipped in on 11 on the playoff hole.

He has won 2 british opens though, and never a major in the US. He may very well win it tomorrow. I'll be interested to watch it either way. I'm pulling for him.

that's not a choke. that's just losing.

A choke is having a 6 shot lead on sunday and losing by 5.

Well, Duval did what everyone was waiting on and fired a LOVELY 83 today!

Norman started off +4 through the first 6 holes and was a shot back, but has since regrouped and let Padraig fuck shit up and he's back up 1.

Go Shark.

7/20/2008 11:34:23 AM

all tied at +7 through 10

7/20/2008 11:42:33 AM

norman is floundering but just made a long ass put to save par


Paddy is playing too well to lose this

7/20/2008 12:33:11 PM

I know its all subjective now

but is there any way a healthy Tiger doesn't win this by 3-4 shots or more ?

7/20/2008 12:33:12 PM

damnit Norman!!

7/20/2008 12:34:54 PM

DAMMIT

GREG

NORMAN

7/20/2008 12:36:23 PM

You're right. He would have won easily.

[Edited on July 20, 2008 at 12:37 PM. Reason : f]

7/20/2008 12:37:01 PM

with the wind like this, it's tough to say anyone would have won easily... even Tiger.

and I hate that it seems Poulter is probably going to win.
