...was Tiger Woods' eagle on #14.

At the rate he is going, he will shatter his old major championship scoring record previously set at St. Andrews. Set back and enjoy boys, you just might see some history made this weekend.

me too...

to be perfectly honest my harrington pick was initiated to throw the rest of you off the trail of my "real pick", which of course is TIGER.....

Yes, the Tiger pick we all are going to make is looking to be where the smart money is.

He's going to take some of the fun out of him being my unofficial pick.

Ben Crane is still in it-btw.

Anyone suprised at the names on the leaderboard?

The Open may be many things, but "unpredictable" isn't alwatys one of them.

Agreed.

Paul Lowrie
Ben Crane
Todd Hamilton

And yes, I am surprised that there isn't at least 1 or 2 relative unknowns on the board.

OK...I didn't express that very well.

But yeah, usually it's the Billy Badasses of the world with their names up there, plus the obligatory one or two "Who?" 's.

Ben Crane is gonna kick Tiger's ass. Don't mess with a Beavertonian with a stick in his hand.

If this tournament was a boxing match, the ref would already be taking a long look at the almost swollen-shut eye of the rest of the field.
