The Official british Open Golf Thread 2012

Well called on the scoring. It was obvious to those of us on this thread that soft fairways and greens and a mild breeze was going to lead to low scores. Pity larrybluff et al couldn’t recognise this.

Teeing off tomorrow at 6.30am

I’ve picked out a few groups that may interest the knowledgeable crowd on this thread

09:20 Louis Oosthuizen (SA), Rory McIlroy (NI), Keegan Bradley (US)
09:31 Rickie Fowler (US), Padraig Harrington (Ire), Manuel Trappel (Aut)
09:42 Luke Donald (Eng), Phil Mickelson (US), Geoff Ogilvy (Aus)
14:10 Ernie Els (SA), Darren Clarke (NI), Zach Johnson (US)
14:21 Lee Westwood (Eng), Yoshinori Fujimoto (Jpn), Bubba Watson (US)
14:32 Dustin Johnson (US), Graeme McDowell (NI), Hiroyuki Fujita (Jpn)
14:43 Justin Rose (Eng), Tiger Woods (US), Sergio Garcia (Spa)

What time does Peter Hanson tee off at?

Hanson is off at 10.04

Gentleman

Thanks Bandage. I’m a regular at links golf myself so I knew what to expect. Poor oul Larry has probably only ever cycled down a fairway.

Goood man Piles O’Dowd

Cheers for going to the trouble of picking those out pal.

Larryduff and a poster called ā€˜scrunchie’ getting on famously on the other thread…

No inroads being made by any of the early starters today.

A bit unlucky with the draw perhaps?

Weather is meant to pick up at lunchtime.

Colsaerts has bogeyed 2 and 3 to fall back to -3

Hmmm… 36 out of 150+ players under par.

Birdie at first for Harrington.

Peter Hanson birdies the first!

McIlcunt bogeys the 3rd :clap:

:clap:

The nordies on the other thread will be seething with that news

Outstanding :pint:

-4 now after a birdie on the first. Great stuff chewy
