This thread is dead. Was celebrating anniversary yesterday and today so had to DVR all 11 hours and just finished speeding through them all.

Few things:
- Lots of great players at or near the top of the leaderboard, which is fantastic.
- Rory GOATing again. I have a hunch he won't Friday tomorrow though and will probably still be leading after tomorrow's round.
- Ernie Els wtf @ that backhanded putt.
- Tiger at -3 probably has the haterz and the racists extra MAD. He looks fantastic. Everyone gonna start crapping themselves. He's already 5 strokes ahead of Mantits.

Great start to this tourney. Can't wait for tomorrow!

This has the potential to be a very nice weekend.

@ARC, the DVR fills up by program time, so one 11hr block takes the same amount of space as 6 blocks that total 11hrs.

Good, come hell or high water, I'm going to make sure the SE thread has more action than the lame one in Tug's forum.

Nome of my business but why did you mention this? Not seeing anything in his post that suggests otherwise...

It was a response to a post I made a day or so ago. It's still annoying to have 6 blocks to FF through and delete, the queue up, rather than 1 large one but whatevs.

Rain in the forecast Friday and Saturday, and windier all three days. The Open starts in earnest tomorrow.

I want to say I am disgusted by how many golfers couldn't name all 4 Beatles. Bubba couldn't name any of them (lol rednecks), but even "cultured" Brits like Ian Poulter, who is in his mid-30s could only name 3 of them. Rory could name a few, Hunter Mahan a few, Stenson a few. Most of them didn't know George Harrison and Rory guessed "George Lucas?" lol.

SVP and that Peter Alliss both correctly ripped into them all. Lee Westwood named them all and called those who couldn't "uncultured".

Would be funny if one of them called him "Un-majored" in response, though.

I don't really like the Beatles. Could still name them all though.

SVP said some golfer could name only 1 Beatle but could name all the members of One Direction. I mean I guess some of these guys are a lot younger than I realize but sheesh. You can basically listen to Beatles songs for 1 hour on YouTube and have an appreciation for them.

They should just troll Liverpool and have the golfers name who slipped to give the title away imo

Did anyone else catch Tiger's loud "Jesus Christ!" today after he had to pull out of his shot twice because some boorish Eurotard kept taking pictures?

It was his 3wood approach on one of the final par 5s so either 16 or 18 but I'm almost certain it was on 18. Was funny.

I don't see how someone with teeth like that could call anyone uncultured.

Best part is him looking at the ball after picking it up as if it there was something wrong with it.

And now showing footage of him being depressed touching his ball just lol.

Ernie probably realized his caddy didn't get all the blood off it.

Said Els: “I was thinking about him. There was blood all over. I was quite rattled. It wasn’t nice.”

Oh man, now I feel like a dick. Don't really get how there can get blood on the ball, even an open cut in general seems weird to me, I'd just assume you'd get a nasty bruise but whatever.

Gonna be hot today, hope the wind stays up!

I know it's standard and the bbcs coverage is great in general but I wish they would show us more than basically the big names.

Absolutely, it seems as though most things are predetermined. I'm enjoying the Scott/Rose/Dufner trio and I understand it makes sense to cover the game as trios but I could still do with less Kaymer/Westwood and with no Bubba/Ernie to be honest.

Not focusing on Coetzee's last three holes is criminal for example.
