Colsaerts I thought was the best matchup play of the bunch. Brilliant move by the Belgian.

Euros and their pink Vespas. Outstanding.

[QUOTE=MikeRAS;44552]The piece of information getting most of the attention on the eve of the British Open was the weather report. The forecast is for gusts up to 25 mph Thursday morning with patches of rain, before the wind tapers off in the afternoon. The wind is expected to remain moderate Friday morning, then switch directions and return to gusts upward of 25 mph by the end of the day. If that holds true, the players teeing off early Thursday and late Friday could get the worst of it. And as a reminder of how significant the tee times can be, remember that Louis Oosthuizen teed off at 6:41 a.m. in the second round last year at St. Andrews, missed the worst of the weather in his round of 67 and was on his way to a seven-shot win.[/QUOTE] Yes unfortunate for many of OUR guys who played early, like Hunter, Nick W, and The Goose.

Watney was disappointing- got it to 1 over and then fell apart on the back.

Just horrendous job guys...sorry.

Dating myself here but to Quote Knopfler 'Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug'. Keep firing Dude.

Thanks commish...really tough with the weather yielding what it did. [B]The players that teed off in the 2nd half of the draw on Thursday have shot, on average, 3.15 shots better over the two rounds than those players that teed off in the 1st half of the draw on Thursday.[/B]

So much for beating the closer Beating the closer would yield a 6-9 result so far in the British Open. Players that are out that had the shit tee times: Luke Donald Matt Kuchar Nick Watney Hunter Mahan Lee Westwood Goosen Martin Laird
