The guy in the clubhouse at -5 might win.

Yeah it's a tough course but fair. And it forces players to be creative.

Unlike stupid US Open.

First mistake by Tiger, no need to be cute there.

Tiger leaking oil right now, tough course to make up shots on.

Edit: Wow Rory makes eagle to tie for the lead.

What’s the playoff format for the open?

And what’s the most players ever part of a playoff at a major? I want to see a 7 way playoff.

Format is four hole aggregate. Wonder if they'd do two groups for like 6 or more players.

Late to the party but the fairways on this course are awesome for ball roll. Guys routinely having their shots roll 50-75 yards after landing. McIlroy had a 408 yard drive on one of the par 5's and Speith drove the green on the 396 yard first hole - both on Saturday so perhaps the wind factored in too.

Great final round to watch and it was nice to have things wrapped up by lunch more or less so you could still make something of your afternoon.

Ames finishes 3rd at the Senior British Open this week.

Hughes might be top 10 at the Canadian Open.

Hadwin seemed to be coming on strong for so long there, usually fizzling out on Sunday. Now he's really struggling to be relevant after Thursday.

Not sure if anyone has followed this story, or would even really know who Jarrod Lyle is, but we have a couple mutual friends. It's been a pretty heartbreaking turn of events for him this week - just wanted to share a particularly touching article I read this morning from Robert Allenby:

Brooke is in the top 10 midway through the 2nd round of the Women's british open. Links style course is wet and windy but she is battling. Has a par 5 left to make up a shot she dropped at a previous par 5 on the front 9.

Looks like she got a hole in 1 as well today! Good reaction from her playing companion and her sister who just giggles.

Brooke on the back nine. She's -8 and tied for 8th. Leader is at -16. So Brooke isn't going to win it this week

Looking at her scorecards she has uncharacteristically struggled/not taken advantage on the par 5s in rounds 2 and 4. she is normally a player who feasts on those. She's playing the rest of the course well.

This round might be the easiest I've ever seen a major championship course play. Could see a boatload of guys shooting 64 or better today.

Tigers short game seems dialed in, and his irons. If he can get his driver into the fairways he could make a run for another major this weekend.
