It seems that the last golfer to tee off is now on the 12th hole. Pretty course. Ugh, switched to Peacock.
Not that I care a ton, but as I type Tiger is 14 shots off the lead in the opening round. Might get some good odds on him coming back to win.
he finished his round at +6, and the leader is at -8, so 14 shots back is how he finished. Certainly not a great start for him. He'll have to shoot a great round on Friday to make the cut.
Funniest part of the day was when Spieth’s errant tee shot came to rest waist high in a bush. Fortunately, he played it smart and took a drop and penalty and made bogey
Yeah, The Open is now Closed for Tiger. Bad break driving into a divot on #1. But he putted poorly, 35 putts. ⛳️

⛳️Late Thursday and early Friday start doesn't help his chances. Not enough time to rest and recover.
Dustin and Rory playing in same group tomororw. You can’t make this stuff up. That should be interesting.
Hovland birdied 18 so he will be paired with Rory.
First group tees off at 5:10 am and the last group at 10:55 am. Rory and Hovland tee off at 10:45 am.

In case you missed it....
You do have a point (as far as this non-golfer is concerned), but we might as well enjoy the spectacle of these amazingly skilled professionals plying their trade. Their skills are eye-popping.
Rory could have a career day today- as in it's now or never
I for one enjoy watching this kind of golf. Links golf is completely different from what we normally see in the USA, since the ball will roll a lot more.
Cam Smith...wow! The next hour should be some great drama.
Ouch. Rory must be in pain. Smith only needed 29 putts today. Well-deserved victory.

I can not recall the specific numbers but I saw a graphic indicating that at that point in the round Smith had something like 65 yards on his hole-out putts and Rory had like 25 in his.
What should not go unnoticed is the play from Cameron Young. This guy was money from tee to green. Look out for him going forward. If he was a better putter, would have won this...easily. But Cam, at least acknowledge the crowd with a wave or something. They had your back and you gave them nothing.
“If he was a better putter…” I was under the impression that he putted lights-out today.
