I heard some guy on ESPN yesterday saying that the wind had been so bad during practice rounds that guys couldn't even hit the green on par 3s while hitting driver.  It must have been those two holes they were talking about.

Thomas Bjorn played really well, and Tom Lewis really surprised me. I thought Lee Westwood would be up there but just played average.

... absolutely can't imagine trying to hit a green with a driver - I have a hard enough time hitting a FAIRWAY with my driver.

there's a course near my dad's house where i play from time to time. and for some silly reason, someone decided a 265 yard par 3(from the tips) was a good idea.

westwood employs one of two strategies when in majors. 1. he plays pedestrian for the first two and a half rounds, then somewhere on the back nine on saturday he goes on a tear for a round and a half and comes up 2 strokes short. 2. he plays fantastically the first three rounds, then decides on the 3rd hole that he couldn't be bothered and drops 5 shots, only to finish 2 strokes short.

perhaps this week he's going with #1

Still reckon Luke Donald's going to win it with a -8!

Sergio played well - right up to the end, anyway.  What happened to Robert Garrigus?  Are there porta-potties at The Open Championship?

Think MrElculver2424  (and TigerSpuds) are referring to each other. Probably haven't got the nouse to offer a considered reply.

There is a 250 yarder near me, I took out the driver and missed the green of course haha.

"Now on the tee, from SouthAfrica, Looostazn," is how it sounded to me when he introduced the defending champ.
