Chips Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) http://www.tsn.ca/golf/news_story/?ID=171925&hubname= The British Open started yesterday. Tiger has a commanding lead again on day two. He's 12 under par, with a openning round 67 and a 65 today. There aren't too many golfers who have won the British open back to back. I'm a Tiger fan, can Woods win another? Who might upset his try for the second British open in a row? Canadians in the hunt. Ames 3 under par, Weir is 1 under par today. Els, DeMarco shot a round of 65 as well... Leader Board as of 2pm Fri July 21st. Pos Player Holes Par 1 Tiger WOODS 18 -12 2 Ernie ELS 18 -11 3 Chris DIMARCO 18 -9 4 Retief GOOSEN 18 -8 T5 Miguel Angel JIMÉNEZ 18 -7 T5 Adam SCOTT 18 -7 T5 Mikko ILONEN 18 -7 8 Robert ROCK 18 -6 T9 Thaworn WIRATCHANT 18 -5 T9 Rory SABBATINI 18 -5 Its Golfin' Season, any guesses?

Fanpuck33 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Tiger just doesn't lose when he's out in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Well, Tiger's Lead is not so commanding anymore. Can he hold onto that tomorrow. Els, and DeMarco both shot 65, even Goosen's keeping pace. So Woods needs to keep this pace up for the next two days. If he does this would be the first major win since the passing of his father.

Fanpuck33 Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Not a very good British Open in my opinion. The majors are supposed to be the most difficult courses around. Royal Liverpool is hardly giving these guys a hard time, as the cut line is below par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Its not tough out there because Europe is in the middle of the biggest heat wave ever recorded. Its 100 degrees in Liverpool this week. What has always made british opens tough was the unpredictable weather. You won't get that this week. Thats why the scores are up.

Chips Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Good news or should I say bad news for the golfers. The weather for sat. includes rain showers, day three is moving day and should be fun to watch. Woods strategy has been to out drive the bunkers to keep them out of play and if the weather turns that should negate the advantage for Woods. As Pierre points out maybe the weather will not return as its usual unpredictable self, however the rain showers could make this a tougher challenge for the golfers.

Quebecois Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Woods, Els, Garcia and Furyk now tied for the lead. Should be an excellent finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) I'd love to see a Woods and Garcia battle tomorrow! The weather is good, a very talented bunch of players grouped up on top, it won't be a walk in the park for anyone, but I certainly will be pulling for Tiger! His game today was crappy, Garcia on the other hand, played into and out of trouble and walked away in great shape.
