Farmers Insurance Open 2011

[mcfc_nick]

First pretty big tournament of the year. the Tiger - AK - Rocco group is huge. imma go with one of the first 2 in that group to win this. im excited to watch this tournament though

[jmanbooyaa]

I am also looking forward to the start of this tourny

[jamo]

I don't think that the Tiger-AK-Rocco group is going to get a lot of TV time. They tee off at 12 ET, but coverage doesn't start until 3 ET. Maybe they'll be on pgatour.com?

[mcfc_nick]

AK off to another good start!

[breakout89]

It's pretty irritating that coverage doesn't start till 3 :-\ Is there any websites that are streaming certain groups or any coverage at all? I already checked channelsurfers.net and realsportz.net.

Imma incur some flamage, but AK's presence in a field does not pique my interest one iota. Ak is the new Sergio - zzzzzzzzzz.

Fowler seems hot right out of the gate. Out in 31 and tied for the lead @ -5.

errrrrrrrr make that in the lead @ -6. He's a birdie machine right now.

That was a super fat shot out of the bunker. Looked like he was trying to bend that shaft hitting the ground like that. At least he's being himself.

The ball hit the lip, but what a par!

[mcfc_nick]

still makes par

[mcfc_nick]

raaaa, AK needs a haircut! finishes -4, Tiger finishes -3

[Radford Wooly]

Leader in at -8. Tiger is 5 back, not bad. Knocking off the rust might take a round or two. GO TIGER!!

[Ben]

Bah, my two peeps are off to a rough start. Duffy and Jeff Hart both finished at 4over today. Duffy is a member at my club so I always root for him. Jeff Hart dominates the Golden State Tour and is an all-around great guy. I think he just turned 50, played and did well in, last year's US Senior Open. I've played with him four or five times, and I kid you not, I've seen him hit one bad shot. One! He doesn't hit the ball very far but played the South Course today, which is supposedly the shorter of the two? Dunno why he turned in such a poor performance today?

From the highlights, he drove the par 5's terribly. Tiger doesn't par the 5's when he wins. But he parred them today.

Tiger stil shooting 3 under and not playing the 5's well is pretty promising.  He won't do that tom.  I expect him  to be 2-3 behind the leaders tom.

He is playing the tougher South Course tomorrow, although they did toughen the North Course by making the fairways very narrow. I saw several dips in his swing when I expected those to be out of there. He took 30 putts besides the 36% driving accuracy.

I just don't expect a cure in a day, or even 3 days, for a victory. Guess I expected less rust. He should have played last week if he wanted to win this week. But there is no winner until Sunday. So we'll see.

Some good numbers put up on the South Course too. I think he'll be okay, but I also told someone he probably needed -5 today to seriously contend.

The dips are irrelevant. I don't care about them, and I think it's telling that's all Nick Faldo could talk about.
