The Open Championship 2024

Haven't seen a thread on this.  They are playing at Royal Troon this year.  A seaside course in Scotland.  Right now JT is leading at -3.  Koepka started  off terribly, but has now run off 4 birdies in a row and is now -2.

Daly shoots 82 on day 1. Only 15 shots back.

He's lurking!

I wonder if Ben Curtis shows up.  I guess I could look but I merely wonder rather than care.

[jdcatty]

Lowry is now leading by one at -4.Scheffler is at even par.

[BASS]

Tigger with a +8 first round. Tied for 139th.

Maybe he should quit golf along with JD.

Golf network did a 10 minute look at The Postage Stamp yesterday.

What a helluva difficult hole.

[jdcatty]

Lowry shot a 69 today and currently leads at -7.  Scheffler is at -3 with only one hole left.

Hard to not like Lowry.  Seems like a good drinking buddy.

Oh, I should add-- wind is really blowing today.

[Corn Pop]

Scheffler bogeyed 18 and finished at -2. McIlroy currently at +13 midway through his round. DeChambeau at +8 after 13 holes. Projected cut line currently at +5.

[jdcatty]

Projected cut now +7. The wind was giving them fits, but has subsided a little in the last few minutes.

[jdcatty]

Cut line moved back to -6.  Bunch of big names going home, including Rory and DeChambeau.

I've never bet on golf before, but if they set the cut line at -6, then I probably will.

Of course, I screwed that up.  It's +6.  What a fuck up.

I wish you'd been right though. Was drafting my two weeks notice.

How quickly they forget the biggest name of all. Buh-bye.

Is he a big name anymore? He's just a guy who plays in tournaments who never makes the cut. There are a ton of guys like that on the Tour.

Hey don't worry about it, JD. If the Secret Service can make a mistake, you can too. You're forgiven brother. Unity!

Is he a big name anymore?

There it is. The dumbest post ever on WooPig. Is Tiger Woods a big name? Really?
As much as WooPig hates him, there are still people that were watching the last 2 days only because he was playing. The viewing numbers will be down this weekend because he didn't make the cut.
Is he a big name? Even HTL hasn't said anything that dumb and that is saying something.

[Hizog]

I love that Tiger is still playing and getting air time because my boys are old enough now to understand they're watching arguably the best golfer ever. Who cares if he's not in his prime. They'll be able to tell their kids that they watched Tiger when they were younger.

[jdcatty]

I like that he is still competing.  I don't like that they show almost every shot he takes even when he is not in contention.

Listened this morning on xm, foreign announcers are so much more descriptive and enjoyable to listen to.
