Who's going to win the Australian Open?

[mvmac]

High quality field this year for the Australian Open.  Nine of the top 22 players in the world are in attendance as well as 11 past champions and 20 of the 24 U.S. International President's Cup team members, including the Captains, Fred Couples and Greg Norman

How's Tiger going to play?  His last win was in Australia and seems like he's comfortable down under.  Are there going to be more hot dogs thrown?

I think Adam Scott is still unsettled from the Williams comments. my pick to win is Jason Day

First, I really like the looks of the course.

I don't really know who is going to win, I think it's going to be close.

Tiger's playing well so far, a bit unlucky with the 3 early lip outs.

Cool to see Couples and Cook up there.

I'm loving how this is live on TV right now. Lots of lip outs for Tiger so far.

As to who will win.... no idea. I'm so bad at picking winners in this game. Plus the event already started so it wouldn't really count if I picked the winner anyway.

Oh okay, he's +7 nevermind. I think my broadcast is a good minute behind you.

Wow, Daly just hit a camera (I was not in the room though, I just heard it from the announcers). Oops. Not having a very good day.

Maybe Freddie should've picked himself in the president's cup team. Tiger's striping it. Hoping Matt Jager has a good tournament, use to play golf with his brother.

[Zwick]

Tiger's short game looks very sharp.

Did anyone see Allenby's shot into the water at the par 5? Did he shank it or just hit it really thin and offline?

[Hackforfun]

John Daly...classic.

and A.Scott. What a freak with that albatross. Way to turn your round around.

Some good golf being played should be an interesting tournament.

[visiondr]

Allenby's shot into the lake looked thin. The commentators say he's a "picker" rather than much of a divot-taker from the fairway. He hit his fourth shot onto the green (with the penalty stroke + distance) cleanly off the turf with no divot. I guess that's just how he does it.

Typical disgraceful performance by Daly.

Hits wrong ball then three putts from 6 feet. Hits it into the water and walks off the golf course after being 7 over after 10.

Wayne Grady made no bones about how weak this performance was. Something like 27 WDs in the last so many years. Pathetic.

[michaeljames92]

John Daly you are an absolute disgrace.

EDIT: Hits 6 balls into the water, Tin Cup style. What a loser.

There's not much good TV here in Korea. But what is good are the two 24 hour golf channels. I watched Tiger's entire round live today.

Total shank. The guy had no confidence in his swing today.

Daly is a mess. Great example walking off with his kid.

[TourSpoon]

I like the course and the way the dunes come into play. It looks very natural and the greens look outrageous.  I would love to see Freddy take the title.  He has enough talent to have been his own pick.

Tin Cup is right...minus the whole endearing aspect of it.

Daly's a clown.

Oops, my fault, guys. I think what I overheard was a replay from the 2009 Aussie Open and the commentators were replaying it after his WD. I was in the other room at the time.

He's still a disgrace though, and it looks like he got banned from the Australian PGA in two weeks.

The coverage was great except for the Jason Day interviews. Thanks for zooming in on his mouth, guys. Really appreciate that. Great camera work.
