One of my favorite events to watch. I love seeing who can stand up to the adversity the USGA set-up gives them. These guys are so used to shredding tour courses, some can't deal with shooting over par very well.

I like Jason Dufner's attitude.

"To be honest I've been a little disappointed in the setup the last couple of years," Dufner says. "I'd like to see longer, thicker rough. I want it to be as hard as possible. That takes half the field out of it right away because they'll be bitching about it and already beaten mentally. I don't care how hard it is, it's not going to bother me."

Seems Bubba is not happy....

"As of right now, I don't like it,'' reigning Masters champion Bubba Watson said after getting his first look at the course. "I don't want to come out here and shoot 80.''

Any of your scores from the Michigan trip put you in contention?

So good to see Tiger playing golf, again.

He completely talked himself into that round. Mental midget today.

Another high school kid did quite well today, though. Beau Hossler shot even par and is T-7th.

Westwood just hit the 2nd worst tee shot (18th hole) with an iron that I have ever seen a tour pro make

Wow, that was awful.

The first round of the Open furthers my opinion that the world golf rankings are nearly meaningless. The top 3 shoot +17.
I truly hope TW wears the place out, and guys like Watney & Stanley finish top 10.

Bubba is going to be o.k. He's too manic to be one of the all time greats but he'll get his share simply because his highs will be good enough. The problem is when you're manic there usually isn't enough of them.

Tiger is a little manic but not on the course, per se. He's manic over p.ussy.
