JB Holmes is looking pretty good today.

I'm liking the course as a major venue, it's fair, rewards good shots, but punishes bad shots.

Yeah I heard him talking about that. He couldn't have been THAT good in 3rd grade...great he was able to do that, but unless he was shooting sub 40 for 9, it says more about the caliber of the HS team imo.

As Tiger finishes outside the cutline, Rory starts the uphill climb... in the weather.

He'll have to shoot the low round of the day to make the cut.

My son sent me a screenshot of his $25 bet on Lowry to win the open. Pays $1250. Sunday is a long time from now. I like Fleetwood.

And what's the deal with that Rickie Fowler laying on his lawn chair ad for Rocket Mortgage. He comes across as an asshole or someone who just got high.....

Go Lowry! Long time for an Irishman to sit on the lead...I think he's turned to the back, -10.

Fowler...yeah, it does seem like he's in a zen-like state...lol. Getting paid a lot for saying little on that one.

There are some good scores out there, but only -1 thru 6...Looks like Clarke just put himself on the sit and wait list with a triple on 18, likely not playing the weekend.

With McDowell treading water mostly thru 8, Lowry might be carrying the Irish flag all his lonesome.

Lots of big names not playing this weekend.

Rory looks like he wants to stay around...they're saying +2 will make it so needs to post one more birdie...no par 5s left for him.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Oh...Rory...not off the tee!

Bunkered on 13...some green to work with, but cannot afford a bogey.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Not looking good for Rory now as he bogeys the 13th...back to +4 with 5 to play. #14 is a hard hole.

 

[Hang_On_Sloopy08]

This course is just so awesome.

I saw post round comments from Tiger, but apparently he didn't give Sands one....basically saying he can't move like he once did, blah, blah, blah.

It really sounds like the end for both Tiger and Phil...listening to them this week.

Phil will turn 50 and Tiger seems to have lost his edge.

Never count him out.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

It's going to come down to the last few holes...he made bogey on 13, then birdied 14, now at +3...so he's got 4 holes to get it to +2

 

[Ricky Roma]

Whether he gets across the cut line or not, respect to Rory for giving it a run.

I know it's a longshot, but I'm pulling for Lee Westwood at this point.

Rory...Indeed...helluva run. In front of his home crowd in a major. I didn't expect Rory to lay down...right now he's right on the cut line @ +2.

Westwood...with all this talk of the youth movement, it would be nice to see another 40+ guy win a major.

 

[ATL96Steeler]

Wow...Rory...middle of the FW, par and you're in...he short sides himself on 18...gonna come down to a pitch and a putt now.

I think the cut now is at +1, with McIlroy at +2 even if he makes par. It looks as if he needs a lot of help now for the number to move.
