Well the conditions are absolutely horrible at the moment. If they stay the same I believe 2 or 3 over may win it. Also I find the BBC commentators waaaayy to boring. It just doesn't seem the same as all of the other majors, but I suppose that is what Links golf is about.

Also does it seem that they are only showing European players in their coverage? They are showing very few Americans and Australians.

-15 under

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

What?

That's why I can't see anyone getting below 2 under in 72 holes.

He's not a favorite but he's a player.

I saw some of the sandtrap staff picking scores as low as -8. I think this is way off. Maybe not but my guess is somewhere around +1.

In our defense, we write those up like a week in advance and have no idea what the weather will be like.

And hey, Rocco finished -1 in brutal conditions. If it lessens a little, we could get to -8. Umm, okay, probably not. It'd have to lessen quite a bit.

Yeah, it's easier to start guessing scores after seeing the morning rounds today. My prediction of -3 is still in play, but it may end up being around even par or so. Still, if the weather settles a little, these guys can make some birdies and go lower than they did today.

The weather is supposed to get really nasty on Saturday; heard one R&A; official today describe the predicted winds for Saturday as "catastrophic". If this holds true, I see around +5 as winning it.

8 over par if the wind continues to blow like today. I can't image where the pin positions will be on the final day.

    • Day 558, May 13, 2024 Drove for 9.5 hours. Installed a new mailbox after removing the old post that the tree trimmers knocked over. 😛  So… did a little mirror work in the patio window.
    • I don’t think that’s even relevant to the debate. Jack didn’t have that upbringing or training …and that’s just part of the equation that favors Tiger. Tiger didn’t have the luxury of playing against weak fields. Jack didn’t have the technology for training. All part of the reality. Just like those who might say Tiger’s injuries took away what could’ve been even more wins. So what? He DID have injuries and that’s the reality.    I think the argument’s been made very well that taking what they each accomplished IN TOTALITY, Tiger has by far the greater accomplishments. Put aside all the could’ve/should’ve/would’ve/ factors and just focus on what was actually done. How well did each golfer perform and against what opponents? Tiger easily wins this.
    • May 13/24. Day 60. Technique work into the net working on weight shift and club face control. It’s a fickle thing. 
    • I'm not going to be "SMART" on my reply. I was in and out of the hospital since the first week in December with complicated Diverticulitis.  Lost 30 pounds, a lot of muscle mass. First week in April I finally had surgery, where the doc took out about 18" of my colon. So my goal is simply to PLAY GOLF.  Was at the range today for the first time.  Felt great to swing a club. Had zero distance...only hit my 7 iron about 140 yards. Will be great to be out on the course, but I have no expectations of lowering my handicap this year. People, be grateful for your health and ability to play.
