    I think Tiger needs more than a new putter!

    I don't know. I wouldn't count him out. The old Tiger won the last two times the Open has been played at St. Andrews.

    Wow...must be ideal conditions today. McIlroy is in with a 63, John Daly is in with at 66, Tiger is -6 with 2 holes to play ...a lot of low scores.

    Hey the good news is that McIlroy is on my team.
    The bad news is I have him on the bench this morning. Damn!

    I have him playing but he's the only one I have doing much today. The rest of my guys are pretty much even, except Justin Rose who came in at -2.

    I see Nick Faldo is playing, and he finished at even. I don't think he plays much competitive golf these days since he's a commentator. Not a bad round for a part time player.

    Watson in at +1, a little different than last year. I think he was the leader after the 1st round.

    RE: AJ and JD....I think if you give JD a Marine Corp brush cut like AJ..they could be brothers or cousins or something. :wink: :wink: :wink:

    Jason Sobel says that the R&A might have cut the greens so short that with the winds the ball won't stay on the greens.

    It's pretty clear now that where you are in the draw is pretty important. The guy leading the tournament got out early before the wind came up. This is starting to look like the Bethpage Open where if you played in the AM you were fine, afternoon....not so fine.

    He and the guy in 1st place were fortunate to get out this morning early before the winds came up. It's a real crap shoot with regards to conditions, but that's the way it is at the British Open.
