British Open 2006

And as for personal meltdowns, I remember Rocca in that bunker well, but I don't think anything beats Daly's 11 on #8 at Pinehurst inn 1999.

Maybe, but who could forget Thomas Bjorn's bunker adventure a couple years ago...

That was a good one too. And of course we are all leaving out Vande Velde, who, well, set the standard at Carnousite, I suppose.

 

[Thump]

Imagine the roll they are getting out there, its insane!

Actually, I didn't see that much roll today. It rained for about 5 hours last night.

Yep, wouldn't want him to feel left out.

Without any wind this course is looking real easy, someone one may get to 20 under par this week.

Tiger at -12
DiMarco at -9

Good God.

Both shot 65's today, ripping this course a new one.

 

[Golferdow01]

And Tiger was talking yesterday about how hard the course is...

 

[THEWOOD]

They are just tearing this golf course apart.

anybody see tiger get a deuce on the par 4 no. 14? I'm curious how he pulled that one off. Duval is -4 good for him. I can't wait till he wins again (i really think he will). Mickelson better get on his horse or else he will be out of it. he's even on the day thru 2.

He was 205 yards out and sunk it, fucking tiger.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

yea Tiger! I love it.

 

[fourteenandoh]

They're at Royal Liverpool, a course that doesn't favor the long hitters.

I'm assuming you say this becuase of the length. with that said, this is why the pga tour cant play short courses anymore, they tear the course a new asshole (by they, I really mean Tiger). I am looking forward to seeing what they shoot when the us open is played at marion.

I'm not at all interested in watching Tiger drop a deuce. Sorry.

 

[fourteenandoh]

Ernie vs. Tiger on Sunday could be interesting. Any other major I would take Tiger hands down but in the British I give Ernie a good chance
