    Enjoyed Garrity's take on the tabloids.

    And just saw a tweet that Damon Hack has left SI for Golf Channel.

    Tiger said the course is not playing that long. Which means driver is not a huge weapon, which means that Tiger can lean on his most dependable weapon, mid iron play. He's got a good shot.

    Oh and he loves the Open, its his favorite major, so he's already got 90% of the Americans beat (who despise it.)

    A few hours from the first tee shots. Sounds like the course is a brute this year with all the rain. Love how the R&A lets the weather set the conditions. Lots of rain -- the rough, er, heather, will be long and gnarly. No rain, it's burnt out and like playing on a runway.

    It seems to be a British sports summer. Murray at Wimbledon. Wiggins and Froome at the Tour de France. Olympics in London. I'd put some money on the English Three -- Westwood, Rose, Poulter -- to win it.

    I think Poulter winning would be cool because I like his flair. Even someone out of the blue like Ben Curtis/Hamilton would bee fun (Rock?)

    I'm not sitting through 72 holes of this. See you on Sunday if Tiger or Phil is on the leaderboard.

    I thought the John Daly meltdown was beginning on 6. He was 1 over through 5, then tripled 6. But he's 2 under since then, so that's good.

    Daly's slacks pushed the limits of my high-def set.

    I didn't get up at 4:30 to watch the Bob Hope Desert Classic. I want wind . . . lots of it.
