The Open Championship
 
Well, the big one starts tomorrow.

Is anyone looking beyond Tiger and Ernie for the big prize?

Personally, I'm backing Padraig Harrington.

I like Jim Furyk...

He now knows what it takes to win a major, and i think he can do it...
Ernie is the main danger....

I think Phil Mickelson will lead right till the end and choke like he usually does for an unknown player from Ireland to win the Championship.

Would like to see Justin Rose do well and Peter O'Malley had a scorching round the other day I noticed. Still very hard though to look beyond Tiger or Ernie.

Colin Montgomerie or Lee Westwood :duh:

Kenny Perry is in red-hot form..

Luke Donald is my tip 8D

Only joking, probably whoever can keep the drives from going high and being taken by the wind, I've heard Perry's drive is quite lofted in comparison so could struggle.

its gonna take 4 solid round of golf to win this tournament. really its quite open, im going to to vijay singh to win, ernie is the big danger.

Slats4ever 17-07-2003 03:24 AM

I'm thinking Ernie Ells, but from left field, well not really left field he came runner up last year but probably Stuart Appleby

Mr. P 17-07-2003 03:53 AM

i vote big Ern. its hard to see him losing this time.

As Greg Norman moves to the top of the leaderboard (playing wonderfully well), I suspect that Age_Master may know something the rest of us don't.

Hennie Otto the early clubhouse leader - played really well for a 68 (-3)

Well, there's a first time for everything :)

Matthias Gronberg (after 15 holes) and Norman (16) now tied with Otto on three under.

And Norman's just got a nice kick on the 17th, lucky boy...

And Tiger's not coping well at all..

Most comical moment so far - Lee Westwood racing up to the ninth green in order to mark his ball before the howling wind blew it off again.

Never seen a professional golfer move so fast except to pick up a pay cheque.

If this wind continues, they're talking about the cut being around +6 or +7.

Well Els is in trouble, and he's not the only big name!

Interesting leveller it appears...

Lloyd 17-07-2003 03:39 PM

And Montgomery has found a new way not to win a Major..
From what i read, he 'fell down some stairs while looking at the rain'. Erm, ok.. :duh:
