T8 Jordan Spieth -5

[Jumper_Dad]

Tiger was EleventyBillion over Par, shooting worst round ever at St Andrews.

[Jumper_Dad]

Projecting that some of the players (Including Johnson) will being playing into the wind going out and coming in tomorrow. Could really flip the leader board tomorrow.

[mcpapa]

The tournament I look forward to the most in terms of TV watching.

[ggclfan]

Tiger was 4 over through 8 in as benign conditions as possible. I'm a 6 handicapper and I can tell you if I played those 8 holes with no wind or rain (harder holes are later) and was 4 over I WOULD be upset. He dumped a ball in the bern on #1 with a wedge in his hand. He bogeyed the only par 5 on the front...pitiful. Tomorrow he will probably in the real bad weather and he may shoot 80+. I hope not but it would not surprise me at all.

[ggclfan]

I think Dustin Johnson is going to be very hard to beat and not just because he is leading. He can overpower the course...like Tiger did in 2000 and 2005. He can easily carry it over problem areas off the tee that most guys can't. The guy is SO TALENTED that when he finally breaks through and wins one, he may go on a serious run. I think he is as talented as any player on the planet. His head just gets in the way at times.

[ggclfan]

So Tiger played with Day (-6) and Oosthuizen (-5). Day beat him by 10 and Oosthuizen by 9. How embarrassing must it be for Tiger to get waxed by two playing partners by that much. I wonder if he apologized to them at any time for slowing up the group...

[The Professor]

Tiger no longer has any confidence in his game. Unbelievable how far he has fallen.

[doomer]

From what I have watched...he has to find a way to get the ball in the fairway to get back on track.

If you can't do that at St. Andrews, you might as well call it a career. From what I understand, Tiger plays in practice rounds fine, but once on the course and the bigger the stage, he folds like a cheap tent. There is nothing comparable to this in the history of sports. We are talking one of the most mentally tough athletes ever who has just simply lost confidence.

If Tiger had Oosthuizen's swing, he would have won 25 majors by now.

If Tiger had Tiger's swing (when coached by Butch Harmon) he would have won 25 majors by now...

[mcpapa]

I enjoyed watching Nick Faldo and Tom Watson getting their final shining moments on the Swilcan Bridge.

[ggclfan]

What a mess today. It is a shame some of the guys had to go out this morning and play the course when some of the greens were unplayable. The wind cost DJ a shot...what happened to Oosty was stupid. So some guys went out and hit 8 or 9 shots and some did not hit any. What? I was surprised that they decided already to make it Monday finish. Why not play 36 tomorrow? Plenty of sunlight? It used to be routine to play 36 on the last day of majors. This will inconvenience a whole bunch of people - just surprised that they are not at least going to try to finish Sunday...

[Big Slick]

What time do the leaders tee off tomorrow?
