I had to leave for a while but heard Brooks drive the green on #1. I get back to see he is +4. Wonderful.

So much for Dustin. He is done.
So much also for that strategy of bombing it over the bunkers.

Ian Poulter with the shot of the day. It is rather difficult to get a ball to hop over a burn, skip over another burn and jump out of a bunker all on the same shot.
It would be funny if we had the projected standings after the first round like we used to do. I doubt anyone would break 100 points.

Good first round, I am tired today, but love watching golf with the morning coffee.
I enjoy the way Kisner plays golf, and if he putts all 4 days like he did today, he will be tough to beat.
First round leader board has @ktnole leading the pack, with five people over the 100 point mark @NoleLizards
Couple league office notes.
@ktnole while leading is using rollover picks this week as first tee was 1:36 am EST picks came in at 1:56 am
@Bml07 , you missed the cutoff to get in picks as they were after first tee and therefore do not count. I have included your scores in the update and will through the week as I hope you enjoy the thread and make some picks again next week, so welcome.

Awesome!Thanks for letting me tag along for fun. I’ll be sure to get my picks in on time next week.Good first round, I am tired today, but love watching golf with the morning coffee.

Thanks NiA! I'm obviously not a mathematician.
Anything can happen the next three days obviously, especially given strengthening winds as the weekend goes on. Honestly, anyone who makes the cut isn't out of contention.
I'm going to be unplugged the rest of the tournament as we're leaving on a road trip, so you won't be subject to my pearls (for better or worse).
Dustin was +5 on the 18th alone. Two shots OB yesterday and one in the bern today.
Another thing, I hate seeing Adam Scott with the long putter. I guess anchoring isn't illegal in Europe. I don't buy for a second that those who still use it on the PGA Tour aren't anchoring their putter. Those in charge just don't have the nads to call them out on it. They should just make a rule on the maximum length of the shaft of a putter. It's already there for a driver so the precedence is set.
Ian Poulter will now have his weekend time freed up to maybe do some more Coolsculpting commercials.
So if the leaderboard stayed as it is right now, with both players at -4, do we have a Saturday pairing of Fleetwood Mac?
The longest Johnson doesn't always win. Take it from JHN.
I see Ricky has the caterpillar lip going this week. If he happens to win, he'll never be able to shave it off.
I don't see why he couldn't. If he won, he would get a pretty good sized paycheck. Certainly enough to purchase a razor.
Lost DJ, but I feel much better about my picks today than I did yesterday. Would like to see Finau or Fowler win, but the leaderboard is stacked and it should be a good weekend across the pond.
Dayum! John Rahm had a major melt down. Until he can get his head together, he won't be among the best in the game.
Just noticed that Berger just missed the cut with a +4 due to 3 straight bogeys starting at #15.
Looks like early, the NBC broadcast will be all Tiger all the time.
They're showing other players between Tiger's shots but we're not going to miss a single one of his. I remember when NBC used the BBC feed. I'd bet they're not so focused on one player.
He is the only one they are following as if he is the featured group.
I did find this from ten years ago when Tiger did not pla The Open.

Tiger Woods out of the picture, TV ratings in the tank
Tour broadcasts feel the pain while Tiger Woods recovers from surgery. Even the British Open can't hold audiences, and there are worries about a Woods-less PGA Championship and Ryder Cup.
And that's why they are doing that today more than likely.
we need some rain and wind , these guys are taking course apart today.
But not until the afternoon groups have had a chance to play in these benign conditions.
Here comes a little stronger wind. Will be interesting to see if these hold and how it affects the guys early in their rounds right now.
