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.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
