Pre-cut these numbers don't mean much (i.e. Tiger is in 146th place etc)

This morning, Woods looks like he just doesn't want to be there. Not playing great. Scowl on his face. Looks like he is suffering from the cold.

Loved the statement he made about the LIV this past week. Said with the money these guys are being paid, what is the motivations to win. They will never have to win another tournament and still be bazillionaires. Might be a little of what one could see in his face this morning. "What the heck am I doing out here freezing my butt off? I could be lounging on my yacht in sunshine and warmth, a "hostess" sitting on my lap, and not a worry in the world!"

Because he knows that golf is about winning majors.

I looked back and I think the first golfer to earn $1M in prize money (for an entire season) was Curtis Strange in like 1992. Prior to about the 1970s golf was never about the money.

Every major I've been picking Cameron Smith, Viktor Hovland, and Rory in the coffee cup challenge, and they did nothing. Now I don't pick them, and they're all up near the top. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.

Cam has a way of faltering on Sundays in majors. Two days to go, the leaderboard will change a bit in that time.

Morikawa and Tiger were the only ST picks that didn't make the cut.

Bring on the weekend!

Tuned in this morning and was immediately disappointed. Apparently, Bah Bah Booey has made its way across the pond and is now spoiling TV coverage there as well.🤬

4 straight birds for Hovland, 2 in a row for Rory, hole must look like a swimming pool right now.

I think hovland’s made like 100’ of putts in the last 4 holes.

There’s one district advantage to small children when it comes to The Open. Up in time to catch lots of coverage

Yeah I’m just sitting at work and I’ll be doing NOTHING today besides watching golf.
Unless I go to Chipotle for lunch that is
