The Open Championship

[Boltergeist]

No Rory runaway this time, he's +1 after his first round.

Thomas Bjorn leads thus far at -5.

Kyle Stanley, who qualified by being the highest finisher at Deere last week within the Top 5 who hadn't yet qualified is in 3rd at -2.

Gonna get interesting with that weather... I watched a few minutes this morning.

Leonard 3 under through 3!

Love the Open Championship. I think last time this course was played the winner only came it at -1. I like watching that kind of golf.

when did they drop the British from the British Open?

Pretty sure that's what everyone BUT the british call it... they've always called it the Open Championship as if it's the only one that matters.

Yea, it has always been The Open Championship. People here just refer to it as the British Open to knock it down to size.

I love how its mid July and everyone is in sweaters

Stanley almost matched Dustin Johnson's ace on 16

it's a good day to be a late addition to the field, Bjorn at -5, Stanley about to go to -3, and Dyson in at -2

I have to admit that they do have a point though... they did invent the game and it is the oldest major.

Still not as good as the Masters though imo... :D

Oh, no doubt. I absolutely love "The British Open". Certainly my second favorite major behind The Masters.

Sand save percentage is at 42%. Those bunkers are lethal.

Think I'll win the lottery this year and get some Masters tix? :D

Did I tell you that me and the guy that works here that goes with me to Marshall at Quail Hollow are Marshalling at the PGA Championship next year in Kiawah? :yesnod:

I always love watching the motherland's Open because they have 200ft putts and chips from on the 'green" are a regular occurrence. The bunkers of doom always add to the fun as well. I like watching golf when the course fugs everyone up and only perfect shots leave a chance.
