I see David Duval is still flogging the guts out of his exemption. 2500/1. There should be a couple of extra 0s on that.
+14 after 13 holes. Give it up mate. There's a monthly medal somewhere where you could get competitive in Div2 of 12 with a bit of practice. <doh>
 
I have narrowed it down to about 15-20.<laugh>

Home Players:
This could be a really great Open if RORY MCILROY does well. Hopefully he does and generates a great atmosphere on course.
I think JUSTIN ROSE might be the forgotten player of this tournament. He is now at the peak of his career and I expect a strong challenge.
At longer prices I would go for TYRELL HATTON, EDDIE PEPPERELL and the irishman SHANE LOWERY.

Go Shane !!
 
Rory can be so frustrating to watch at times. Unbelievable talent, skill and balls but he dosnt half live by the seats of his pants at times and I wish he would just take a step back every now and again... Point in case, he just tries to bomb all of the holes like each and every hole is a birdie opportunity where some holes you just have to take your medicine, accept par, move on. He can do it, we've seen him do it, and I bet he sometimes knows he shouldn't do it, but he does, I think it's in his make-up. He knows that if it comes off then no one on the course will live with him... I also think he dosnt trust his putter like the other top pros do. By targeting every hole to within 5 feet he's saying that I can just roll them in, but you have to be able to knock the 10 footers in as well to really succeed...

He'll be back, no doubt there, but it was another display where I'm saying 'Oh Rory, look at what could have been...??'

Anyway, it's shaping up to be another top Major... Good luck to us all...<cheers> <ok>

He missed the cut by one and everyone goes on about the opening 8 yesterday. But what about the 4 putt double bogey later on - that was beyond careless and ultimately cost him the shot he needed to be playing tomorrow. Fine player no doubt and should challenge for more majors but he needs to get his head sorted. Far too impetuous.
