The Open Championship

PLAY HAS RESUMED! That would suck to have your ball blown into a pot bunker lol.

Way to get lost Sean O'Hair.

American: "Donald, who is the man that we've lost that's now found?"

*silence* Brit: "Oh, c'mon Donald, tell us." Donald: (reluctantly) "Sean...Sean O'Hair." Brit to American: "He would be one of yours, wouldn't he?" lol...

Glad I'm not operating any of those cameras up in the gantries...

How the hell would they even fit Lodewicus Theodorus Oosthuizen on the board in the clubhouse?

Tiger methoding himself down the leaderboard early on. Then again, he's never been good in the wind.

Rhetorical question, mate. I just like writing down that epic moniker.

It was funnier in my head than it apparently is on a PC screen. I agree it is quite a name. 11 syllables!

And I enjoyed reading it!

The Open has got to be my favorite tourament to watch. I love seeing a type of course that we don't have here and I love watching these guys trying to play in the wind & rain.

It's so stupid that it's a penalty that if you address the ball and it moves slightly because of the wind it's a penalty...it's so dumb. As if it isn't hard enough playing in the damn wind!

Pretty harsh rule alright.I also find it a little unfair that a guy like Oosthuizen has a big lead basically only because he was lucky with his tee times.But that's Golf I suppose.

Watching this Open really makes me want to play in wind or a rain storm.

Yeah, fun to play in when you're not trying to win an Open This is hard viewing at the moment, they're all over the place.

It's funny...I was just sitting here watching and thinking how boring The Open can be. If the wind doesn't blow, the course is too easy. If the wind blows, it's too hokey or gimmicky. Six groups backed up on one hole because no one can decide which club to hit! I know, I know...links style golf; birthplace of the game; no wind, no rain, no golf; yada, yada. But I'd rather watch a match with more reasonable weather conditions. I don't watch pro golf to see guys hit shots like I do. I watch to see them hit shots unlike I can. Just my opinion.

I'm starting to agree with you, watching this.At least Turnberry last year was playable.I like Links golf in general, and when it's reasonable, but this is ridiculous at the moment.Rory's bogeying every hole at the moment.

I played once in wind and rain and around 11 degrees celsius.

It felt like 4 degrees, my eyes were watering because of the wind, I couldn't concentrate at all. Hard to judge the wind's power as it was gusty and my grips were slippery.

Fun though, in a way
