British Open 2009

59 year old Tom Watson with a 65 is your first round leader

Tigers 71 continues his trend of struggling in the early stages of Majors. The course was there for the taking also.

OK I suck at Tiger Woods '10 and I just shot at -12 on Turnberry from the blue tees. Hit 17 GIR and 14 fairways.

Big round for Tiger coming up in 2 minutes. The leaders are at -6 and the wind is gathering.

[montrealer]

Woo Hoo....got it live on the computer....wind is up......then again this is Scotland by the sea.

[b_joseph]

Tiger pars the first 6 holes...birdies the 7th hole..then decides to play like I do when I've had a few beers.

Might miss the cut now.

59 year old Tom Watson with a 65 is your first round leader

wont last

[pjfan]

So much for watching golf this weekend. Tiger at +7 through 16. Probably won't make the cut.

Although if Watson stays in contention, that would be fun to watch. If not, ABC better hope there's some compelling reason to watch.

[26 and counting]

No Tiger. Even with Watson still doing well, it seems like nobody cares.

[26 and counting]

Just what I thought. No posts for two days. Nobody cares.

Without Tiger or Phil, golf is dead. It might as well join the ranks of water polo and curling.

I turned it off after Tiger finished on Friday..what can I say, he's the reason why I started playing back in 1997 and he's the reason why I watch.

[26 and counting]

Tom Watson tied for the lead at -2 with Lee Westwood and Chris Wood. So the old guy is still very much alive.

Ross Fisher was actually at -5 and had a 2 stroke lead, but a quadruple bogey really hurt his chances. He made another bogey to drop to even par.

[In Mo I Trust]

Watson needs a par on 18 for the Championship.

[26 and counting]

Playoff between Cink and Watson.

[BonusCantos]

Been rooting for Watson since he had that great first round.

[b_joseph]

Tom really lost his nerve at the end there. I think Cink will win it now.

[wang+cano=future]

Was rooting for Watson. That putt on 18 never had a chance and was disappionting. Still he had a great Open.
