I think St. Andrews is a nice track and has a lot of history obviously but I am not sure how I feel about the competitors that are 7 strokes out of the lead getting a seemingly typical, docile golf course making up strokes while the leaders get more severe wind conditions for their round, battling to maintain par. Watching now.... amateur has 6 birdies on the front 9 another relatively no body has birdied the first 4 holes...

Wind is not supposed to change for rest of the day.

edit. perhaps it will change... forecasting the future is vague.

Much worse than that. I was me hitting the shots. 1968.

Perhaps using VPN service and "relocate" you into UK...

ps. BBC broadcast in UK (and rest of the world) starts at 13:45, which is in about 1h15min from now.

Espn feed is up now

The Open app isn't streaming anything now. I was watching ESPN ESPN (ESPN actual) at 6. But there's a Spanish feed. Watching that now. No commercials so far.

Looks like it picks up 5-6 mph from 1-5 pm

Mickelson just sent his tee shot on a balcony at 17. Scott Van Pelt: "That's a tough lie".

There's 4 amateurs in the top 10...

Good call. There are also 23 players in the top 10!

Edit: And how often do you have to actually win the tournament to be the low amateur?

Mickelson just dropped from #5 to #32 with his balcony shot on 17th. One slip and down the leaderboard you go.

Yeah and Schniederjans is making a mess of 17, will cost him a birth in next years open likely.

Anyone notice the 2-man booth Golf Channel is using in St Andrews this week? BC and Nobilo are rotating with Lerner. I wonder if there's a space constraint or if there's some friction between Nobilo and BC. I always sort of got the impression Frank doesn't care much for Brandel.

I noticed this too. I am almost positive they've done this in past years, too, so it has to be a space issue in the booth.

Sergio's off. I think he's a good dark horse pick today. It seems he's let go of the baggage that's kept him from winning one of these things; this feels like it could be the day.

Dustin Johnson is really a mess. All the way down to -4. Fowler struggling today too. For the first time since the Pinehurst U.S. Open, I won't be cashing a ticket this week. The streak is over :(

Duval having a good day again, -3 thru 12. Good for him.

If he could do this more than once every three years or so, he wouldn't have to take a TV job.

Round 2: -2

Round 3: -3

So far, Round 4: -4 (through 10)

Total -10

The weather just made a turn in the last ten minutes or so. If Donald can make it to the clubhouse at 10-under, it may be a while before someone tops it.

      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??
