Yup I can't help but root for DJ either

I always root for the hometown guy and fellow CCU alum, even if I don't have money on the line.

Is The Open only on ESPN? I do not get that.

You can also watch it on espn3.com or the watch ESPN app on your smart phone or later in the day they'll rebroadcast it on abc. So, no, not only on ESPN.

Tiger after this round:

Quote:
"I felt like I was playing well enough to win this event," Woods said after finishing off a round of 75 in the weather-delayed second round. "... I had my opportunities, I just didn't get the ball close enough, and then when I did, I didn't make them."

He's not making the cut. If he can't break 76 in calm conditions, he sure as hell ain't doing it in windy ones. He thinks he's close, but he's got a long, long, long ways to go. Today was just tough to watch.

I wouldn't bet against him making the cut.  I'd say you were 100% right if it was almost anybody else but Tiger's got a very strong "fight" mentality . .if the field starts losing ground,

Ha! That's exactly how *I* feel.   The only thing keeping me from winning every major ever is just one thing . .sucking at golf, lol.

Sounds like he's getting more and more disconnected from reality.  First he was using weekend tournament rounds as practice rounds, then he was "re-establishing his baseline" or whatever, now he's "playing well enough to win", but still missing cuts and finishing near last place.  Getting the ball close enough and making putts are two rather integral parts of playing well enough to win.

News flash - he missed the cut.  By a large margin.  Only 7 players in the field scored higher than him - of those seven, one is an amateur and three are old enough for AARP memberships.

Some low scores out there today. It'll be interesting to see what the leaders can do.

I wonder if Mickelson's ball was dirty, since he hit it in the burn on hole one.

Yeah, Watch ESPN App has been a blessing for me. Has worked great.

Does anybody else have it right now on ESPN? My comcast guide says it is supposed to be on but it's not, just sportscenter.

Ditto, but I'm watching baseball highlights (even though the built in schedule says The Open is on). Found this:

I think that's 7am start (few minutes) for EDT here.

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Beastie ·

      It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

      Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
