This British Open has been noted for low winds and pretty good conditions for scoring. Overall, this course doesn't blow me away with its difficulty, but the weather could change that in a heartbeat. If you get out of position off the tee here, you could be in big trouble. I still think Tiger has a good chance to win, but he will have to make some early birdies so the leaders see his name moving up the leaderboard. Adam Scott has played particularly well, but he could falter tomorrow if the pressure gets to him.
While the British Open is usually known for it's wild winds and raining falling sideways, this year has been last wild. I still personally like St. Andrews and Carnoustie's layouts and storied tradition a lot more than Royal Lytham. I love the British Open just because it is so different than normal golf. Players have to hit such different shots than they are used to, and it's a totally different brand of golf. However, it still proves who is playing the best at the time.
I love the novelty of waking up to watch the British Open during the wee hours of the morning. These last two rounds have been since because the leaders don't tee off until about nine a.m., but I did wake up quite early to catch the first two rounds. I will be tuned in and I obviously will be pulling for Tiger, but he will have to play very well to have a chance. I'm thinking 66 is the worst he can shoot and win.
