Definitely THE tournament this wee, the only one I'm DVR'ng, although I'll be watching to see how Speith does in his 1st title defense. Don't think Phil has a prayer; not in good form and little exposure to the Aberdeen course. Would love to see he and Rors compete.

Wow, Phil's shot off the cart path!

You can catch it here on the live blog if you missed it.

Also Rory with a 436 yard drive....no cart path...he's currently in the lead a 7 under, great shot into the 18th fairway as well.

Sixth oldest course in the world on what many regard as the best outward nine in Scotland - Enjoy

It's gorgeous, lovely way to start the day.

Although some big guns are done...Rory posts 64, Phil - 68, J. Walker - 71, Poulter - 73, Jimenez - 74

There's still some fun groups to watch. Right now Westwood, Rose, and Gallacher are paired together.

Also Rickie Fowler, Victor D, and Bjorn.

This is great confidence for Rory. He's playing great golf and next week is as well-suited a British Open as there is for him. It's a shot makers course and one of that long hitters will feast on with the four par-5s. If Rory is on his game next week, he's going to be tough to beat.

Phil hit one 380 today. Also, interesting tidbit, at least to me: noticed Luke D hit an RBZ Stage 2 3W off a tee but had a Mizuno cover on it. Heard this happens but hadn't noticed it til now.

hey LOOK

Rory had a great start and now is having trouble.  Who would have guessed that based on his play this year. :-X

It's early.

Maybe he's thinking of his model friend?

Yeah, McIlroy demonstrating his usual facility for being all over the place. Impossible to have any confidence in him, it's a long time since he strung together four solid rounds. Like the way Casey is playing.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

Man, I hope nobody bet on Rory after one good round yesterday. Funny how people like to jump on a bandwagon after one good round...makes no sense.

Same thing with Paul Casey...dude hasn't even had a top 25 (on the PGA) this year has he? He's had some decent rounds and some great stretches of 4-5 holes, but no real results. Yet, I've seen a few different people saying things like "how about that Paul Casey!" Maybe he is just a likable player?

Fun to watch the Euro guys play this course...looks pretty tuff to me. I don't know much about links golf, but it seems exciting because scoring is so volatile. Anything can happen!

[S][/S]Casey is a likeable guy, but as a betting man I'm not principally interested in his personality. What I like is that after a long period of being compromised by injury, he has started to play well. Leading for two rounds in the Memorial, on the leaderboard for quite a while in the US Open, now doing well in the Scottish. He goves the impression that one day soon he'll put three or four rounds together. McIlroy gives no such impression.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

Rory gave every single shot back. Even par on the tourney. Just ridiculous. Freaky Fridays indeed.

Plus Casey will be about ten times Rory's price with firms next week likely to be offering e/w terms on 6 places

Already backed him at 80-1 on Betfair. Currently 60-1.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.

      I wonder if the Saudis all kinda chuckle when they ask Greg how he feels about 72 holes vs 54…😃
