    Well the leader in the Club House is that well known golfer

    Thomas Bjorn....not related to Bjorn Borg. :)

    Rory +1 in the Club House.

    Dustin Johnson a hole in one.

    Let's face it. For better or worse, without T. Woods it just ain't the same. I'd watch Pawn Stars reruns before I tune in to watch Thomas Bjorn in the Open.

    I think a lot of people feel like you George, and the PGA is continually harping on "all the young talent" that we have and how the future is bright, etc. Sure there is a lot of young talent but really at this moment there isn't a young player other than possibly Rory who looks like he's ready to step up and become a dominant player.

    The Fall of Tiger

    <r>I don't care what he did..... there is something just wrong about this. I'm posting this story under the British Open topic because the Open has about as much public interest as a quilting bee without TW.<br/>

    I know that he did not present himself well on the course with his cursing, spitting and club throwing. And some of his fellow tour members have been unable to restrain their satisfaction at his fall from grace. But watching golf without him is like going to see Michael Buble in The Phantom only to learn he has the flu and the part will be played by Joe Schmoe.<br/>

    The drama, the shot making . No one could do the things he did out there.<br/>

    Its just sad.</r>
