Heading to the Open/ Predictions

Are you all forgetting that the cut after ONE round would have been +8? +16 may make the cut this year. C'mon now... I realize you can't just multiply the first-round cut by two, but +12 has a 90% chance of making it.

Nope, no way +12 will make it. I don't think that many players will fall out of the top 60, but that's just my opinion.

And I said "probably." I didn't say it was for sure. I say +12 has a 10% chance of making the cut, not 90%. And besides, it's not like Tiger really deserves to make the cut anyway after how he played. And I'm sure Mr. Woods would agree with that last statement himself. Edit: Just to follow-up on what I said, there are already nearly 30 golfers in the clubhouse at +11 or better. And there are still another 10 on the last few holes about to finish at +11 or better. So we are looking at 40 golfers approximately that will be finished at +11 or better going into the afternoon rounds. It's highly unlikely +12 will make it, unless there is a total collapse by everyone this afternoon (which is possible of course). By the way, nice 71 CH3! If you wouldn't have shot a 41 on the first nine yesterday, you might be in contention.

When asked afterwards Woods said "I wasn't ready to play golf, I need practice"

So I think you're right in saying he doesn't deserve to make the cut.

The average score for today is playing almost 1 less then yesterday. So that will hurt Tiger if the trend continues. But iacas you could be right that +12 might be ok.

As of nearly 3pm, I don't think it'll happen. Looks like Tiger will miss his first cut in a major as a pro.

I will be in Mexico during the Open...I'll find a sports bar to watch the final day. I am looking at the Reno Hilton odds sheet and was planning on betting on a few but I was thinking of taking one dark horse because of the odds. Olgivy...60/1? waht do ya think?

Saw the final round in Mexico...I have come close to picking the right guy before...but never have picked the winner. $600!!!!! Sweet! (that will never happen again I can asure you!)

To bad I only bet $10 on him!
