This. Especially when some of the guys ahead of him start to stumble. He could be tied for the lead or at least close to it by the end of the day.

I'm at work and haven't seen any of today's action. Is it harder than yesterday?

Thomas Bjorn errant from the rough; camera lens kapoosh

Saw that this morning, hilarious.

Is there a place where you can follow a player hole by hole? I see this on every website for Tiger, like a hole-by-hole blog with live updates, but I can't find it for any other professional.

This happened what, 20 minutes ago, already on Vine. That funny looking putt, guy standing in bunker.

-3 at best.  Everybody ahead of the leaders at -2 (Woods, Westwood and one other) appear to be over par so far.  And the par 5s are not all scoring holes like they were yesterday, so there aren't any real great birdie opportunities.

Funniest thing is the viewer's reaction.

With Zach plummeting down the leaderboard, I wonder if he will trash the R&A; after the round.

No, I would like to think he's classier than that.

Tell that to the USGA.

I believe after yesterdays round, Zach was confronted with Phil's comments.  I don't remember exactly what he said, but I thought he distanced himself from Phil somewhat by suggesting it was at least fair or something along those lines.

[Jakester23]

I think it's pretty hard for these guys to accept shooting around 80. Think about it Zach shot -19 last weekend today he might be close to 80 its probably hard for their egos to score like this.

[geauxforbroke]

Yeah it's one thing as an American to make statements about the USGA. It's another to go after the R&A.; At least it feels that way to me.

Is Rory at +13? What happened to the guy who would put tiger in his retirement home.

Expectations happened.  Also, I suspect (and this is pure conjecture) that the Open Championship actually will not be his favorite major throughout his career, despite his heritage.
