Tomorrow is going to be GREAT!!

I'm going to have to pull for Mr. Natalie Gulbis I think. He's striking it well.

DJ is my choice as well. After all he went through last year, he deserves some good karma. Of course, Clarke probably deserves even more good karma with his tragedy. I can't say I'll be upset if any of the top 8 wins tomorrow. At least Cabrera isn't around to frick up another major.

Well put. I have a soft spot in my heart for Clarke after losing his wife Heather to breast cancer. I would be VERY happy if he won.

I was there on Friday! (the only decent day of weather for the whole tourney - tomorrow will be showery)...

Those fairways are narrow as hell and VERY undulating. I sat for a long time at the par 3, 11th (243 yards) and I'd say while I was there for 2-3 hours less than 50 % hit the green in regulation and 1/3 ended up in one of the greenside bunkers - I only saw 1 birdie there.

It was the calmest of the days wind-wise and it was still pretty f'n windy.

The course is pretty unattractive, basically build on the edge of sand dunes, but as most of you know, that's how it goes for many of the links style Brit Open courses. I've played Carnoustie and walked St Andrews and the fairways at St George's are much narrower, although the rough is much thinner than Carnoustie.

my other two comments would be (but others that have been to pro events probably already realize this)...

1. the pros still hit quite a few "bad shots", they just know how to minimize damage much better than an amateur.

2. their bunker play is unreal...seems like if given the option of a 30 foot putt or a normal middle of the bunker sand shot, they would rather take the sand shot...

Anthony Kim is wearing a Nike flat bill today. What a f****** douche


I agree with this !!!!


Fowler's hat makes him *look* like a douche. Kim is just a douche regardless of what hat he wears.

I hope Rickie and Dustin give em' hell tomorrow and I hope PHil can make a good showing. I tell you what I have enjoyed watching Darren Clarke this week and just love the man's attitude and how he carries himself. I would enjoy seeing him win as much as anyone right now. I"m hoping for a great competitive final round tomorrow.
