Update on my selections

Ogilvy 75 - +5 not promising after what was an ok start at 2 under thru 5 before two double bogeys started his slide
Pampling 74 - +4 was behind the 8ball from the start made a lone birdie at 17
Pilkadaris 68 - -2 my knockout aussie hope shot an impressive 2 under and a few more like that will be good.
Tiger 71 - +1 His usual first round although not quite as bad. this far off the pace no problem but having that many golfers in front of him is. just couldnt get on a roll
Mcilroy 69 - -1 played well for a solid opening round. this kids got loads of talent.
Stenson 71 - -1 another ordinary start to a major but a player who can pull out a 64 tomoro. 2 late birdies in the round recovered so he will be confident from here on in.
Poulter 75 - +5 nothing went right last night for this fella. couldn't even get one birdie.
Kaymer 69 - -1 another solid performance but really needs to consolidate position in second round. 67 or better to be in it.
The sorens 68 - both hansen and kjeldsen got off to promising starts with 2 under pars 68 however both will be dissapointed after being 5 and 4 under respectively during their rounds...

good luck. Curtis and Furyk favourite of mine

Morning ijuandaQLD. Boy you look like you know your golf. Is it your main sporting interest?

golf and greyhounds. been playing golf for 15 years. went to Kooralbyn International School with Adam Scott, Steven Bowditch, and have been mates with Jason Day ever since we started school together in year 7 etc. Love following the different tours around the world. I've played with a lot of amateurs and pro's over the years and talent wise there arent too many with more than Bowditch although a local amateur would have a better mental game. before he went to america i used to play with him every second week and it was nothing for him to shoot 62 on any course we played. JD on the other hand was never one to shoot low scores like ur 61,62 or 63's but he was a consistent 4 or 5 under player all the time, amazing short game and great mental game. Scottie was in his last year when we got to school but everyone knew he was going to be good. absolute pure swing.

well it wouldnt be a british open if aaaa didnt hit the fan.

Ogilvy, poulter last and fourth last.

Curtis follows a 65 with a 10 over 80 to more than likely miss cut.

Mike weir tries to do similar following a 67 with an 78.

while an unknown Japanese fella has the lead at 6 under midway thru a second round.

well an interesting night in the Open Championship which saw Tiger lose some massive bets by missing the cut.. Ol Tom Watson still leads along with Steve Marino while major championship winners like Retief Goosen and Vijay Singh sit just two back. Then of course there are your young guns. Ross Fisher, Jeff Overton, Martin Kaymer and Camilo Villegas. How will they fare tomoro, will they succumb to pressure. While lurking in the shadows you have seasoned veterans Westwood, Cink, Cabrera and Furyk. But the man to watch and one of the most consistent players without ever winning too much. Sergio Garcia. Has shown more control over the past two days than everyone bar the leader Marino. If his putter can fire a little over the weekend he could hold the Claret Jug aloft.

Predicting -4 the winning score with only 5 players finishing the tourney under par.

Then of course you look to drugs, alcohol, gambling and mayhem, yes its quite clear John Daly has made the cut at the Open again. he sits tie 22nd at even par and will bring a smile to the face if he turns back the clock.!!!!!

preliminary final

Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic will smash the Adelaide Thunderbirds
