Disappointing event; won't be taping this weekend with Day, Fowler, and Mickelson missing the cut.  Damn.

DJ is contending so I'll probably check out some of it, not much else to watch.

Looks like a Nationwide Tour leaderboard right now. Where are the big boys?

Oh brother, are you going to say these kind of things Again for every tournament this year? How many times did you do it last season?

this really is the first event of the season. just makes me depressed that Tigs isnt anywhere near playing.

I don't consider this the first event of the season, but I suppose you have your reasons? Yes, I'm tore up about Tigs as well, and Depressed too.

Changed my mind after catching some of it just now.  Conditions are miserable, fun to watch, regardless who's contending.

I'm sure we all would've preferred to see Fowler, Day, etc. in contention today, but there are plenty of decent names near the top. One of the co-leaders is a former Players champ, and that Jimmy Walker fella is pretty good at golf too. Woodland, DJ, and many others certainly aren't out either because of the crazy weather.

Billy Horschel's tee shot at No. 3

How brutal is it at Torrey Pines right now? This 5-iron only made it 134 yards.

The wind was simply unplayable except for Snedeker.   However, when play resumes tomorrow, Walker & Choi will likely face the similar weather.   Looks like Snedeker did enough to win.

The wind made them look like they were me playing! Drives with 215 carry!

Does anyone know if any network is carrying the tournament today? This turned out to be pretty exciting.

Sky's coverage in the UK has just started, but there is a 2hr delay to make repairs to the course.

It looks like the course took a huge pounding overnight, 2hrs might be hopeful!!

I'm not sure its even the same course any longer, sight lines changed by fallen trees, trees not blocking shots any longer. Its a mess.

I hope the weather stays the same.  Sneds earned it.  It would be a shame if the others get to play nearly a full 9 in anything different than yesterday's conditions when a bunch of others completed the full 18.

The forecast doesn't look like the wind will let up.

I hope so too.  I took an hour dog walk this morning and there was a 40 minute period around 8 am when the wind was calm.  I live about 5 miles from the course.

They just mentioned that the final round scoring average is 78....and rising.  

Fun stuff.  Good on ya Sneds!
