138TH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP LIVE THREAD
http://www.opengolf.com ^ | 07/13/2009 | ROYAL AND ANCIENT GOLF CLUB

Posted on 07/13/2009 9:05:30 PM PDT by cleveland gop

Time for the year's 3rd major championship(already)and the only one of the 4 that is not played on this side of the Atlantic.

This year's event takes us to the west coastline of Scotland, to Royal Turnberry Golf Club where I'm sure the weather will have a lot to do with who wins and who doesn't win.

So what storyline is going to be written this time.....

Can Padraig win for the 3rd year in a row? Is Tiger going to tie his buddy Roger and win his 15th Major? Can Greg Norman turn the fountain of youth on again, but keep it on Sunday too and shock the world? Or do even bigger underdogs, like John Daly or David Duval revisit past glory? Or do stars like Paul Casey, Sergio, Ernie, Anthony Kim or others get the big prize come Sunday night?

Who do you think will hold the Claret Jug come Sunday??

Early weather forecast for the weekend, intermittent rain showers with highs in the low 60's.

Tiger tees off at 4:09AM EDT(9:09AM BST)on Thursday.

I think Tom can play well enough too. The problem with predicting weather especially in that part of the world is the ocean influences everything. With what’s expected. we’ll all turn our TV’s on in the AM and see blue skies again.

But if the expected hits, even Tiger must even take it easy and even play conservatively if he wants to make sure he sticks around for the weekend. I think in Tiger’s case course management is gonna be more important than the weather conditions.

Tom makes the cut no doubt, although I think he backs up a little shooting 73. Tiger shoots 68 and gets in at -2 also. You’re not going to see scoring get much better than it is. At best the lead is -7. At best.

I think it will be back to -5 by Sunday...Greg almost did it for the old guys maybe Watson can hang in there and be in the hunt Sunday! :o)

It could be even worse than -5 by the time the champion golfer is crowned. For the sake of tomorrow’s play I don’t see a Jimenez, Curtis or Stricker backing up. One of them could be at the -7 mark after tomorrow.

Padraig shoots the best round tomorrow, a 66 to get to -5 and right in the mix.

Got to love the game. The pro’s get paid to play under those conditions while us hackers will quite often take a day off work and PAY to play under those conditions....LOL!

Oh I know, but the line fits perfectly though, don’t you think.

Els finishes at +1, should make the cut...
