Pound for pound, the best golf tournament in the world. I know I said the same thing about the US Open a month ago, but fuck off, now I'm saying this.

Love the US Open, but that one is always dependent on the course and to what degree the USGA will fuck up and forever stain the proceedings. The Masters is the prettiest, but to me, it gets repetitive seeing the same course year after year and the same pin placements.

The Open though, is always great. Love seeing and getting to know a new amazing old school links course every year. Love seeing the weather become a huge factor. The most prestigious trophy in golf and one of the most iconic in all of sports. I'm a huge fan of links golf, can't wait to see some people get trapped in pot bunkers. Looking forward to watching the 120 yard par 3.

And the best part, don't even have to wait till tomorrow to start watching. Monty tees off in a half hour!

The best golf tournament in the world is the one you win.

Watched for two hours this morning and the weather looked pretty benign. Guys tearing up the front and then struggling on the way back in.
Should be fun this weekend. Go out and golf early and then come home and watch the leaders play late morning.

My office pool picks are Day, Scott, Reed, Leishman and Schwartzel.

Reed is leading, and Scott and Schwartzel look good on the front 9. Day should bounce back...too good not to. Leishman was my dark horse.

I think I say this every year but I'm watching SkySports coverage online. Their announcing is so much better.

Yeah I thought I remembered him and some buddy making some Scottish breakfast and getting drunk in the morning for this thing.

IIRC, they drink beer/liquor from the host country. They are probably passed out by noon :lol:

Dave is coming over at 8:00 with supplies to make his own version of bangers and mash. Furious Styles may join us as well. I am only going to buy a 4 pack or 6 pack of Scottish beer. Most Euro beer is a sweet, malty mess that I do not enjoy. I will probably have a couple Bloody Marys. My wife is out of town for work, so I can't get loaded.

If anybody in the area wants to join us, feel free.

Phil really unlucky. 2 bogies all day and Stenson birdies both of them. Phil down by one heading to 18

The good news is there are only two guys worth watching tomorrow, so no need to start watching early.

Weather is nasty early this morning. Looking forward to checking out the back nine when I get home from playing this morning.

Like both these guys so it's a win win for me .Wouldn't mind seeing Stenson break through here. He's hitting the ball really well. Phil seems on his game today as well. Good stuff. (Elmhurst Steve would be proud of this post)

And whichever guy puts up the lower score will probably win.

Stenson absolutely striping it today. Most any other Open, he and Phil would be running away with it
