man, they must hate Oosty.....pairing him with tiger on thu/fri for the last two majors.

Guess this group.

Former open winners, none of whom are eligible for the Champions tour, none of whom have a prayer of winning.

Answer: The 10:17 Thur (local time) of .......

One of them has to be Duval.

Or Todd Hamilton, Ben Curtis or Stewart Cink?

Lots of wtf winners in the 2000s

Duval, Stewart Cink and Ben Curtis. Who says the R&A doesn't have a sense of humor?

My hat's off to Ivor Robson, the R& A starter. A one tee start, 11 minute intervals, no starter's times. Tee times begin at 6:32 a.m. local time and don't end until 4:13 p.m. local time. He takes no breaks. Requires a cast iron bladder.Then he gets up and does it again on Friday.

Hope some good Ag buys him a wee dram at the Dunvegan on Friday night, he will have earned it.

Somehow I doubt Robson frequents the Dunvegan. If I lived in St. Andrews I sure as hell would, but I doubt it's Robson's kind of joint.

Ryan Palmer by 2.

Spieth wins the 3rd leg of the single-year Tiger Slam by 4 and it doesn't even seem that close

Graham DeLaet just got his clubs. Airline lost them. Apparently that's the second time that's happened to him this year.

Also, apparently the protein powder he packed with the clubs exploded.

One of these these things is not like the others...

I thought we were supposed to be living in a post-racial society!

FIFY

Long John's subtlety.

100% chance of rain and winds up to 40mph on Friday

Are we sure John Daly isn't dead, because it looks like he might be dead in that picture and a mortician did some work on him?

What an odd, odd man.

Damn his face looks plastic

Plastic isn't that durable.

In reality his face looks like it has been strapped to the bow of a schooner and sailed around the world several times. For some reason I still like watching him tho...

I wouldn't go with plastic either.

More like a perfectly lathered and conditioned catchers mitt.

I love this post.

I echo Todd Hamilton. Ben Curtis? Has he become a zero also? I know he made some decent money in the years that followed his win.

I'll add Paul Lawrie as a candidate.

A lot of old golfer's faces seem to look like that.

Will they live stream once rounds get started tomorrow? I'm looking on the website but don't see it anywhere.
