Tiger must feel pretty lousy after that day. He blew it up on three holes and got severly punished. On the first he missed the green and ended up with a triple after making a mess around the green. On 13 he straight up four-putts from 14 yards. On 14 he finally found some tall grass and came out with another double. Maybe the wind played a role on the tee-shot on 14, but other than that, this is short game and putting. Putting can of course be affected by wind too, but still.

 

In other news, here's how the top 15 in the FedEx Cup did yesterday:

The 2018 US Open is underway! Now to find out how to get work done and watch the US open at the same time....

I had an all day meeting yesterday. :mad:And all this morning today. I am taking a half day to sit and watch. Luckily, the weather is sketchy today too, so I won't feel guilty about planting my butt in front of the TV!

Less wind today and the early birds aren't getting the worst.

Any predictions on where the cut will be? My guess is +8.

Eh...I'd put it at +3 or 4. But I can be wrong.

Tiger opened with a triple yesterday. Today he's got a good look for birdie on his first hole of the day, the 10th.

TV Must be better in your area.  Golf Channel has their "Live from the U.S. Open" and FS1 (which had the round yesterday) has something unrelated. 

Nevermind, found the USGA stream.  http://www.usopen.com/watch/live.html#!5797893165001

Big thanks to @Zeph for alerting me to the live viewing, or I'd have missed Tiger's opening birdie! :-)

The scores will probably be lower today, but if the cut line went to +5 yesterday, for it to go to +3 today the field would have to shoot 7 shots better, and that's not happening. If today becomes a day with still struggling players, but less so, maybe a cut line around +8.

Dear USGA, 

Chromecast for your streaming videos would have been nice. 

Nice par by Thomas, nice birdie attempt by Woods.

No, he's at all 3s so far, that's 54 watch :-)

Did someone in the galleries badmouth the Tiger group since they started pummeling them with balls?

Okay, Tiger, that's not a bad place to pitch from (hole 12)

He seems eager to give back that shot and then some on 12.
