I was just checking out tee times, tournament play is going to be almost over before i even wake up in the morning..lol. If tiger putts and is playing from the fairway, he is normally impossible to beat. But this year he hasn't shown that he is back in form yet. I cant tell you who might contend. The weather in this tournament is such an unknown variable.

If my math is correct Tiger tees off at 4ish AM eastern. He's my pick to win.

I am super excited about this tournament this year. I don't think Tiger has it together enough to win. His putting has been pretty brutal lately and you need to putt well on these greens. Haven't decided who I think is going to win, but I really don't think Tiger will be able to pull it out.

I think Tiger contends, maybe wins. Like Augusta, he knows how to play St. Andrews, and links golf, and as Watson showed us last year, that counts for something.

And I hope not... but I have an odd feeling Monty might muster up some magic. He didn't fare too bad in 05 here.

Other guys I expect to see on Sunday- Paddy, Luke Donald, Ricky Barnes, YE Yang.

Now that I've named half the field... I'll be rooting like hell for Watson and Phil.

It's gonna be pretty interesting with how much wind there is supposed to be. I'll pick Paul Casey...just a wild guess.

My favorite tournament of the year to watch!

Don't think Tiger will win, a european player is my bet for this Open.

I would love Rory to do it, but I'm not sure he's quite ready for a Major win.I think it's 50-50 whether Tiger makes the cut or not.Either way he doesn't contend for me.I watched him on tuesday and was thinking I could have holed a lot of the putts he missed, and that's not good..

Think we could see another first time Major winner, possibly Ian Poulter.If not him someone from the middle of the pack, another YE Yang type.

I've always been amazed at how Mickelson never seems to contend at the open. I think its the hardest major to predict a winner or who will even be in contention.

I'm going to surprise no one and say I reckon Justin Rose might have a shout. Dark horse, Charl Schwartzel.

Agreed. Each week he has improved on what he did bad the week before. The way it looks, if he gets his putting tightened up this week, he will be tough.

I'm expecting the same Tiger experience at St. Andrews as we've seen from him during most recent majors. He'll start with two pedestrian rounds, putting him around midfield after the cut. He'll shoot something to the tune of 2 or 3 under on Saturday to launch into contention and spark a media frenzy about Tiger on the prowl, even though he'll have left several strokes on the course. One more average round on Sunday will lock a finish on the back end of the top ten, but he'll never be a threat to win.

    • Day 297: back to mirror work tonight. Working on slow movement for feels from the wrist stuff. 
    • Day 22: 5/13/25 Putting through gates and weight shift drills with a wedge.
    • I would be happy to hang out with you guys but as of now @DaveP043 and I are planning to stay in Cranberry Township. There’s a bit of travel between the two places, but maybe we can work something out.
    • Personally I have no issues with even the steroid-era figures such as Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa being inducted into the hall. My reasoning there is we already have nearly a half-dozen known steroid users in the hall, including those inducted after their steroid usage was already common knowledge. David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez (as well as Ivan Rodriguez, Adrian Beltre, and Todd Helton) both failed the same wave of anonymous drug tests that saw Sammy Sosa shunned by the nation, and he's in the hall. Piazza admitted to using Andro (the same thing McGwire was juicing with) and amphetamines. Greenies were commonplace in MLB clubhouses and used by countless stars, alongside cocaine, from at least the 60's all the way up until the early 2000's. There are at least a dozen other pros in the hall that have allegations from teammates who claim to have directly witnessed steroid usage. Even Nolan Ryan has stated that he thought steroid usage was a widespread problem in the sport as early as the mid to late 70's. I'm of the opinion that once that genie is out of the bottle, and it most certainly has been for decades now, it's a bit silly to pretend those already inducted are somehow morally superior for being not quite as astronomically and suspiciously good at baseball when using steroids. Hitters were using steroids, pitchers were using steroids (funny how we saw the number of complete games fall off a cliff at the same time that steroid enforcement was being ramped up), it's an even playing field as far as I'm concerned. To quote The Incredibles, "When everyone is super, no one will be".  As for Pete Rose it would appear that by all accounts he never bet as a player and only ever bet on his own team while managing. It's understandable to prohibit any involvement in the sport after it was discovered, but it's not something that gave him any advantage in reaching his level of achievement in the sport.  As for Joe Jackson, I personally don't think he should have been banned in the first place. He actively refused the bribe, tried to report the plot to the owner of the White Sox, and his alleged confession only occurred after the White Sox's team attorney got him roaring drunk immediately prior to the grand jury testimony. Every confessed conspirator also stated that he never attending any of their meetings or discussed plans with them. Not to mention the fact that if he WAS trying to fix the series he did an absolutely terrible job of it considering he was the best performing player on either team by far setting a World Series record that stood until 1964 and went error-free while gunning down at least one runner at home plate. 
    • Day 7: 5/13/2025 Range day today. Had a really good session. I was able to pull a mirror over into my stall and make a slow-mo swing in the mirror and then try to duplicate the swing to hit a ball.  Felt really good today. Tomorrow will be league night.
