Great to see this thread going from strength to strength.
@thedancingbaby
What time does Peter Hanson tee off at?
Peter is away at 3.05 this afternoon Puke.
Ah lovely, I should be home to see a good bit of it so
What I like about the official thread this year is the amount of posters giving their tuppence worth
There is nothing worse than a thread where there is just one lad talking to himself.
Paul Lawrie leads on -3. Westwood has started birdie - birdie
I shall be giving my allegiance to this thread as the aura of smugness in the other thread really is unbearable.
On a course like this in weather like this its a lottery.
Marcel Siem has my ew euro at 150/1 for a bit of interest, he has a bit of experience down this track.
Luke Donald wonât win this even though his straight, short and tidy game suggests he has a chance.
He may contend though hut he will never win a major.
Back him in the next 5 tournaments outside of the PGA as hr will finish top 3 in at least 2 of them
Woods will walk this
Ominous start from TigerâŚ-2 through 4 and is joint leader with Adam Scott and Paul Lawrie
Darren Clarke to miss the cut was a bet I was thinking of looking at and forgot.
He is struggling and looks to be seething, never a good sign for him
Hon the Tiger. Pick up a grand soft win and ride the Middleton sisters on the way home.
Tiger leads on his own at -3 through 6.
McDowell is playing decent enough here.
Weather must be clement enough judged on the scoring.
Much wind folks ??
hope tiger walks this
No wind, soft greens. Doesnât get any easier than that for links golf.
Adam Scott leads, followed by 6 past major winners⌠Woods, bubba, lawrie, els, McDowell, Johnson.
Our open champion Jamie Donaldson will be delighted with his opening 68
Adam Scott is the clubhouse leader on -6 after an opening round of 64
Padraig about to get his british Open under way
Best of luck Padraig 
Padraig -1 after 3 and Pukeâs pick, Peter Hanson birdies the first
