Damn, I almost forgot it started today. Need to get the TIVO fired up.
I'm gonna go with Garcia or Els.
I'll post a poll later today after I see the 1st leader board.

I need to watch me some British Open as well. With Tiger out of action I might can even stand to watch with the sound on.

TNT always has great opening vignettes to their telecasts, and this one is no exception. The script on this one is meh, but the camera shots are world-class and makes me so happy to have an HD-DVR to a 52" HD wunderkind.
If you are DVR'ing this, don't skip through the opening...beautiful.
Oh.........
the weather outside is frightful.
Phil at +infinity.

Els and Singh both in the clubhouse with a +10.
The old fella from Kansas is doing well...must have practiced some at Prairie Dunes in February!
Kim might be America's only hope after day one.

It's not the shoes... it's gotta be the putter.
Some interesting names at or near the top of the leaderboard.
Rocco, GREG NORMAN!, David Duval, Tom Watson, AK.
and Phil shot a 79!
I watched part of the telecast this morning before I came to work - looked pretty nasty to me.
It seemed like there was hardly any advertisement since Tiger was not in it. Anybody else notice that?

Greg Norman, another good round. Furyk hanging around. hard to know how the later scores will be. it doesn't appear to be as nasty weather-wise as yesterday, but everybody still has their rainsuit on and breezy.

umbrellas are out.

Kim bogeys 18 for +6 for the tournament. projected cut at +7 right now.

I'd love to see Norman win it. Probably won't happen, but anything is possible.

yeah, it would have to be pretty sweet for him since so many of his near misses with last round leads in a major seem to overshadow the ones he did win.
and, it would be nice to see an old guy win it. because, whoever does win will have to deal with the "Tiger wasn't in it" factor....like the Rockets when Jordan retired. For instance, for Sergio, it would almost make him take more crap in the media if he *actually* won the major Eldrick didn't play.

The conditions look almost as bad as yesterday. Mickelson is acting and playing like he's getting on a plane for the United States this evening.

and judging from some of the quotes from Boo Weak-ly and Pat Perez and some other American PGA Tourbots....he's not alone in flying the white flag with the weather.
and you wonder why we get fannie whipped in the Ryder Cup for the last decade when our guys act like pampering, target golf, and the benjamins are the only thing they understand. a little adversity and they turtle up.
Birkdale must really set up great for camera-work because some of these shots of the dunes and rugged terrain, blind shots, really nice. you get a decent feel for TV of the undulation of the land...and kind of what links golf looks like on the ground with a club in your hand and a 30 mile an hour wind in your face.**
