No that was Hoylake and he hit his drive once.Is this the place Tiger Woods won without using the driver? Hope they have made changes to the course so that can't happen again.
Actually, double, par, bogey, bogey. Hopefully he misses the cut so I don’t have to listen to the announcers fellate him all weekend.4 straight bogeys for Tiger to start his round
Duval had a short shelf life as a top golfer. 13 wins. 1 major in a 4 year period. I do not think he one of golf's all time greats.Man, Tiger and David Duval dropping deuces in their opening round. Remember when they were the top 2 in the world?
His GF messed him up and turned him into a pot head right at his prime.Duval had a short shelf life as a top golfer. 13 wins. 1 major in a 4 year period. I do not think he one of golf's all time greats.
And only has one good leg.Tiger is old now.
Umm I think you have it backwards. Double D has always been known to partake.His GF messed him up and turned him into a pot head right at his prime.
It's a major on a small course with many places where the ball can't be played so they wait for an official to make sure they are placing the ball correctly. Just the way it is in some of these tournaments.Does it take 6 hours to finish a round? That is ridiculous. They need to also start from the 10th tee.
It seems like sun stays out a long time there during summer.
There is no beauty to these links courses. It is like playing on the moon.

Yep, lots more rulings at the Open, given more odd situations, combined with the fact that much of the field is just unfamiliar with links golf and especially given more blind shots where one needs to walk up to see where one is hitting the ball. Starting on both nines doesn't speed up play for any individual group, but it does significantly reduce the overall time to complete the round for the field, since one has a full slate of golfers all starting at the same time, as opposed to one group at a time until the course is full.It's a major on a small course with many places where the ball can't be played so they wait for an official to make sure they are placing the ball correctly.

Starting on both nines does not speed up play at all. It just puts more people on the course faster which in itself leads to slow play.
It doesn't save that much time. Ideally the thought process is it should save 2 hours in the full day process but in the end it adds to longer rounds. As the switch at 1 an 10 can lead to backups. Additionally once the first groups hit their 10th hole no new players tee off for 2/3 hours.Yep, lots more rulings at the Open, given more odd situations, combined with the fact that much of the field is just unfamiliar with links golf and especially given more blind shots where one needs to walk up to see where one is hitting the ball.

Yes.. The British Open is crazy with 7 double greens.Just said on broadcast that they are asking those on the back nine to put first on all double greens to try to speed things up.
lol…you need to learn your golf history a little my friend…The British Open isn’t going anywhere. Ever.This major is my least favorite. You can't see the ball. This is one ugly course. There is nothing beautiful about this course except the bridge. A parking lot at Met Life is more beautiful than this course.
They should remove British Open as a major and make Players the new major.
Ummm get rid of the The Open?? Pretty dumb statement. Your lack of golf history is duly noted!This major is my least favorite. You can't see the ball. This is one ugly course.

Yes Scotland’s a tad bit north of here 😉It seems like sun stays out a long time there during summer.
D Johnson is 7thShaking up to be a LIV vs PGA weekend. LOL.
They are still mad about the Revolution.Love The Open. Got up a couple of time at 1;30 and 4:30 just to catch a half hour here and there. Loved yesterday's round watching Victor and Rory.
My one (tiny) peeve I realized this morning. Why do they announce the players from America as USA and not United States of America? They don't do that for any other country. In fact I think they introduce players from England and that is not even a country lol. (which I didn't know until I looked it up).
