The Open Championship Thread

Can't believe Stricker dumped it into the bunker from the fairway with Sergio in trouble on the fifth. Both take bogey.
Els is playing well so far and may end up putting some pressure on Sergio with another birdie or two.
Tiger drops down to -1.

 

I think if I just read the leaderboard correctly, Tiger needs 3 straight birdies in his last 3 holes in order to have a chance to force a playoff with in-the-clubhouse leader Richard Green who sits at -5 for the tourney. Sergio still leading (by only 1) at -8 for the tourney

 

The noose gets a little tighter - Sergio drops another to fall to +2 for the day. He's got a one-shot lead (well, he's actually tied with Romero who's currently looking for his ball in the bushes).

 

Sergio was already one of the all-time Sunday chokers, in my opinion. If he blows this one, he might hold the title. At least Norman won two of these things.

 

Sergio's gag reflex has been initiated.

 

I think Paddy Harrington might take this one.

 

Yeah, or Els

 

Paddy get to -7 to tie Sergio.

 

I just crawled out from under a rock, I guess, but I just noticed ABC is no longer calling it the "British Open" and is calling it "The Open Championship." As they should, of course, but I was surprised by it.

 

I'm rooting for Harrington since I'm playing him this week in fantasy golf.

 

Argentina rules.
