Trying to pick a winner for this years Open is like trying to skate up hill on ice.  There are so many genuine contenders out there that could win it it's crazy.  I won't be making a serious call until after Friday's round.  Even then the nature of the beast is that anything can happen.  Adam Scott at Lytham and St Anns was a case in point.  I thought he had it stitched up and so did he and Ernie got up and came from nowhere.  It'll be a great watch though and I'm looking forward to it :)

Shane Lowry makes most birdies in round 1.

 

I tells you it's going to be affected by weather, think the greens will need to be slow or the balls might blow off greens Friday and Saturday......

I have to go with Dustin Johnson winning the Open Championship.  I have been rooting for Sergio, and he hasn't come through for me; maybe he will with wbealsd picking him!

 

DJ gets the most birdies on Day 1

 

I will say it now... Tom Watson will be the oldest player making the cut.

Oldest player to make cut - it'll be Bernhard Langer. The rubbish weather, links golf specialist.

 

Keep your eyes out for young amateur Alistair Balcombe, plays college golf in the states now but hails from Bristol area. He won regional and final qualifying.

Thanks for the commentary Westy, we are relying on you here. Tough viewing for me, funeral today, golf tomorrow, funeral Saturday, Church Sunday, I will record Sunday's round to watch later.

 

Is the weather still forecasted to turn?

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Oh my yes it is - worsening through the afternoon but tomorrow and Saturday could be grim at times. Sunday not bad.

 

Good luck for next few days Rev.

So I've arrived at work and right away ESPN starts in with the "What's your provider?" question.  That never ends well for me even though I get ESPN through Direct TV.

 

You guys didn't like Fox - I really despise ESPN and everything that it stands for.  Making money by stirring up controversy instead of reporting on sporting events according to their significance.

Wow seven under is leading as I type and it's DJ and Paul Lawrie both.  Tiger is on plus 4 and Jason Day is on -6 so there is an Aussie on the leader board.  I think by the end of the day the most birdies scored will be 8.  There is a chance to that -8 will be leading.  My mind is boggling at the prospect and if Westy's forecast is accurate it's going to be interesting over the next three days ;)

Streaming Live from The Open website........coverage is good, much more subdued than the ESPN coverage I was watching at home early this morning.  Direct TV has a Channel that displays the Leaderboard plus four different groups at the same time.....That was terrific!  I tried to get the Open Live Stream from DTV on my ipad, but it is TV only......Tiger is really laying an egg today......
