I like NBC’s broadcast, but kinda ridiculous we got a Tirico/Rosaforte report over watching Spieth’s tee shot on the second hole coming off an eagle.
The Open Championship- Carnoustie
- Thread starter cshea
- Start date
Tiger Woods one shot off the lead, 11am on a Saturday. I don't want to hyperbolize, but this could quite possibly be the greatest golf tournament ever played.
He probably needs to get to -7 or -8. 14 is a birdie hole with chance at eagle. 16-18 are still nasty despite the easy conditions.
Some of the guys who are just teeing off are going to shoot low, too. Tiger will likely still be 3 or 4 back even if he shoots 66.
Calling for 15 to 20 mph winds tomorrow. This could be a lot of fun. I'm here for this, I have open days today and tomorrow. I will watch every second of the coverage.
Both Rory and Fleetwood now screw up the second shot at #2, Rory with a par that feels like a bogey, and looking like same for Fleetwood
Ugh Rory butchering #2 after a perfect drive. Certainly isn't looking like his day. Well at least after back to back awful shots he saves the par

No shit. He is one guy I just can't figure out. Ever.
I'm also really surprised that Koepka is having such a bad day today.
It looks like good Spieth showed up today. His game has off lately but he seems to show up for big tournaments.
Tiger is going to be a few off the lead by the time the leaders finish. He's playing very well but a lot of players will go low today. He needs the wind to kick up slightly after he gets in to slow the last groups down and they're not saying something like that will happen.

We’ll see what Spieth does when he gets to 15-18. That is where all his bogeys/doubles have come, I think he is +5 on that stretch so far this week.
I don’t care that he is out ahead of everyone and he will likely fall a bit back..
Tiger Woods has the share of the lead at a major. Awesome.

Huge mental blunder. Guy with left tendencies decides on a draw with driver and a leftward line on a hole with OB left and tons of room right. Wtf.
Gets the top of the board while tied with six other guys treatment too... and it's awesome.
He looks really good with that putter. Pace is great. Roll is great. Burning a lot of edges when mid-long range putts don't drop. Looks comfortable too.
Tiger's game right now is perfect. If he can keep it up, he'll be involved deep into tomorrow.
The number of people who could be within a few shots of the lead heading into Sunday could be legendary.
3-iron just not enough to take the burn on the right out of play maybe? He was basically gifted that bounce. Whatever bad luck he had on the roll on 16 was flipped there.
Edit: probably thought 3-iron would have left too much yardage into the green.
It was surely a gift. I just don't like the idea of him hitting a club he hasn't hit all day on the 18th. Play.Your.Game.
I heard them say that and I think they’re wrong. I’m almost dead certain he’s used it before, only because I remember watching and seeing him swinging an iron with a graphite shaft and thinking it was odd. My buddy I was with agreed it was weird to see. Only reason I remember it.
He'll end up with a Par and it could have been a double. So he'll take it, I am certain!
Huge bullet dodged on 18 for Tiger. He was staring at double while that tee shot was in the air. Take that driving iron and toss it in a dumpster.
Fantastic ball-striking day with his long/mid irons. Putter looks good too.

And I’m certain that I’m just irrationally stoked he might be in the mix tomorrow. I’m hoping the wind picks up even more so he doesn’t get lapped. Tiger might actually truly be back! [emoji1]
Leader in the club house, now let's have an unexpected microburst show up with some crazy wind for the rest of the day.
