2018 British Open Championship at Carnoustie

[Shindig]

Ugh, slept in this morning.  I even went to sleep at about my usual time too and set alarms.  Oh well, I'm awake now and coffee is being made.  Just saw Tiger barely miss a putt.

Woulda loved to see that one drop but I can live with it.

Side note: I've followed Chappell at the Masters practice round and the U.S. Open third round. That's the whole side note. No real insights here.

On purpose? lol.

Tiger starting good off the tee.

I watched all 3 previous rounds almost in their entirety. Today I'm not going to watch much because I'm busy 😥

At the Masters the gallery following his group was sparse and we wanted to get a good look at the front nine (had already followed Tiger and Phil around the back), and at the Open he was playing with Daniel Berger (they were one of the more interesting early pairings), and Berger ended up going pretty low.

Chappell also seems like a good dude, and he really stripes the ball.

Cool. Of course he stripes it. He's DJ's stand in. Damn near twins.

This is the first round I'll be watching pretty much in its entirety. I watched all of Tiger's rounds Thursday and Saturday (was watching on DVR but it was getting late so I turned it off when he finished), but I messed up my recording on Friday so only caught the last few holes.

I actually thought he was DJ at the Masters until he got to the green and I saw the Nike hat haha

Just not a fan of Jacobsen. I don't find him funny at all, "Tiger can't gamble to go for flag..Let's wait and see how everyone does?" No. It's Sunday and you're 4 back. It's not a day to putz around with pars.

Pun intended I assume.

Kisner making a mess of 2

Dunno - I think if he ends up -4 then he may be in with a shout. There are flags he can go for and ones where par is good. I could see most ending up over par if the wind gets up more.

-5 could win this. I still think it’ll take at least -7 though. Probably -8 or -9.

[Shindig]

What a great approach from Tiger.

From 133 yards with an 8-iron.

For reference, that's about what I'd hit in calm conditions from that distance.  Of course, Tiger wasn't in calm conditions nor did he take a full swing at it.

[boogielicious]

Kistner is stinking it up early. 

[RFKFREAK]

Great birdie for Tiger!

[Shindig]

Woo!  Tiger gets a birdie.  Keep it up, but we aren't starting 59 watch just yet.
