speedbump Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Who is your money? I think I've let the heart rule the wallet. Monty, Westwood and Goosen:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I think Garcia could be a good shout. It's a pity i never took the Spanish treble a few weeks back of Spain in the Euros, Nadal in Wimbledon and Garcia in the Open. I think you were getting about 250/1. I can't see Monty doing anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Has he really walked off? Yup. Claims that he hurt his fingers after clattering the rough a couple of times: "I got off to a pretty miserable start and I hit a couple of shots on the third and fourth hole that rattled and numbed my fingers so I thought it would do more harm than good to continue. I've played in arguably worse conditions than this, but the course is so demanding that when you get out of position you're finished - enough is enough." Shouldn't be invited back next year for that. I never had him down as a petulant whinger - apart from the time he came back from the Masters to find his wife getting her hole, but then he had good cause. 'mon the Rose, get your act together. Hang in there. Weather forecast says the afternoon starters will have a better time of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've back big Ernie and Adam Scott for the tournament. Modest sums only. I think he admits to having a 'modest' amount of grog but, true to form - as soon as I draw attention to him, BFJD drops to a big number over. Ernie's looking a bit forlorn but Adam Scott's a guy I've had my eye (and a few quid) on over the years. This year, he's looking to fulfil some promise so where do I put my money? That's right. NOT on Adam Scott. Looks like conditions are getting a little less hostile - scores likely to come down a little bit. Possibly good news for Sergio fans - especially as he has a game that's suited to the windy conditions. Back to work - interspersed with live video feed from the Open...

Comments in the sports news this morning that they're not too chuffed about him walking off. Also adverse comments from the guy who was next reserve to play should there have been any call offs - he'd have stuck it out for 18 holes, for sure! Sandy's not claiming injury. He just wasn't enjoying himself. They reckon he's blown his chances of captaining the Ryder Cup thanks to that little tantrum and he deserves it. Anyway - Greg Norman at the top of the board and safely in from the elements which are starting to whip up a storm. Bad luck for those with morning tee times yesterday and teeing off about now today. There'll be one or two failing to make the cut simply because of the 'luck of the draw'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Spackler Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Camillo Villegas, 65 with 8 birdies, 5 of them on the last 5 holes. What's going on there? The best anyone else has managed is 3 under. That's the most amazing thing I've seen a Colombian do since that goalkeeper did the Scorpion Kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
