British Open

Who do you got? Tiger will be playing along side Nick Faldo on Thursday and Friday and apparently they don't get along. That should add an element of interest to the tournament. Phil Mickelson is coming off of his choking 18th hole at Winged Foot. Will Ernie Els show up? What about Sergio Garcia? Colin Montgomerie has been playing well and the gallery will be very supportive of him. Let's not forget Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh and the other lefty Mike Weir. The golf course is burned out, brown, hard as concrete. It's a shot makers golf course. All the greats will be there, it's anyones tournament. If I had to pick one I'd go with Tiger. I think his dislike for Nick Faldo will motivate him.

I am going a little off the board with the "Goose" - Retief Goosen

He's so smooth. He's playing with Tom Watson, I would love to play a round with Tom Watson.

Burned and Dried out.

Gotta go with Lefty, Phil will not choke this time. He has all the shots and is at the top of his game.

If Tiger or Phil isn't in contention by Sat. I won't be watching.

How sweet would it be to see Watson play out of his ass and win it, Oh how sweet.........

Oh, OK, I was dreaming...........

I agree, that would be sweet. I'll bet even mlyonsd would stick around to watch that.

I think, and hope, a non-entity is going to come out of nowhere and at least challenge, if not win. Just hope it's not Jean VandeVelde again.

I'm a huge fan of the british open. I like it better than the US Open and Masters.

You and 1.5 million others (including myself). You can bet the farm that the networks that cover these get down on their knees on Wednesday night and pray to God, Allah, Tom Cruise, etc. that Tiger will be there on the weekend. It kills the ratings when he's not in contention.

Scott Hoch does not agree with you and that place did look like a West Texas cow pasture this morning.

I got to chat with Tom Watson for a while at the US Senior Open a few weeks ago. Really down to earth nice guy.
