The Open Championship

Any golf fans out there? Who would have thought the Stanford alum with 'TW'initials leading the tournament would be someone not named Tiger? What Tom Watson is doing is simply amazing. Sure Norman made a run last year, but Watson is 6 years older. Normally Tiger-less golf is pretty boring to watch, but this is just awesome.

I've never cared for Phil, and I couldn't stand tiger for quite a long time. But I was only kidding myself, after watching his dominance over and over again I finally came around as a tiger fan. Its undeniabe that he's one of the greatest and on a very, very short list to be considered the greatest of all time. IMO when he's hitting well there is no better golf to watch.

No doubt Tiger is a great player, but not the greatest. Today's competition is not like it was during Jack's era. I get sick of the beloved media coverage given to Tiger. Second, his personality is like "dry paint."

Wow! I feel "honored", somehow. Thanks, screwyou.

Yea, I'm pleased to see the "old guy" doing so well, and in the place where golf was born too! Real golf! If it ain't Scottish, it's craaaaaaap!

Looks like the old man is losing it. No, not you Blue. You've already lost it.

I'm at work, following the leaderboard on breaks and lunch. Looks like the original TW has caught back up. Currently 3 tied at -3.

I can't wait to watch the golf channel when I get home.

Looks like a fine finish is shaping up.

Cink is making a charge, but I have a feeling Westwood is the one Watson will have to beat.
