I'm so hot for this tournament I was watching the Golf Channel live from the Open last night (Tuesday!).

They really think Phil is on his game and Tiger only had played 9 holes.

Sergio was wearing Sunday Red, the little prince. Betcha Chris Berman doesn't tease Sergio one little bit.

Just received an email from cleveland gop, who is having trouble posting:

Tell me the background shot of TGC’s set was pretty cool. Now about the main event. As much success ETW has at Torrey, when the USGA gets to play with the course, forget about it. Throw in not playing for 10 weeks and come Friday night the letters MC will be next to his score of +8. I figure the cut to be around +6.

Unless there is some moisture in the air, those greens will easily run 13, maybe more. If Tiger keeps the ball in the fairway, those greens will demand near perfection. Spend the day in the rough and good luck to all.

So wins this thing. Someone who hits it accurate without necessarily being long. My thoughts lean toward Adam Scott, Padrig Harrington, Andres Romero and Steve Stricker. If Stricks could pull it off, what a perfect ending to a great comeback.

I’ll take Padrig to win with a score around -3.

Due to my continued posting problems in open posting please feel free to throw this into the thread if it isn’t too hard. THANKS!

At the USGA interview last night, they asked Tiger what the winning score and cut would be. He offered neither number. Padrig Harrington seemed very confident and your choice for Stricker is a good one. For me, I'll go with Jim Furyk. Has won before and finished second last year. He's got a sore back, I know, but I've got to favor someone.

That background on TGC is quite good and sometimes it appears like it is swaying. I played Torey Pines back in late fall, the Friday before it was shut down to prepare for the Buick Invitational. Great course and it really looks so different when you play it versus watching on TV.

I'm thinking this is going to be a classic Open. Maybe a surprise winner out of nowhere???
