Are you watching the British Open?
The Tiger is roaring. Joint leader -7. First time in the lead since 2011.

[Ohiogal]

1. Not me but my hubby has been glued to it.

[OneBlueDotBama]

2. He just fired one into a pot bunker

He may find himself tied with Rory after this hole...

[malaise]

5. Great swing

Seriously

[OneBlueDotBama]

6. Awesome shot

at first the so called commentators suggested he would have to fire one out sideways... maybe we can get Miller to spend another hour telling us his life story.

[malaise]

8. ROFL

The good news is that Tiger isn't hearing their BS

[OneBlueDotBama]

9. As much as Miller...

and some other so called commentators hate woods, he is responsible for a good chunk of their salary. They have their favorite US pretty boys to pant over, haven't seen a whiff of Sweden's Alex Noren or Tony Finau, both at 4 under.

[malaise]

12. So many of them in several sports forget who provides their pay

So true

13. Yank Mormon Golf Commenator...

Found wandering incoherently, mumbling about some golf game in 1976.

I recorded the 1:30 A (AZ) start will watch later.. ..with highlights and excellent commentary at Golfweek - fun to READ....

[ChazII]

4. Yes, I am watching.

It is a much need break, for me, from the stress in my life right now.

[malaise]

7. -7

After 10 - sole leader

[Ilsa]

10. We are watching with our eyes on the Tiger! nt

[malaise]

11. Damn first double bogey of the week

Come on Tiger

[tman]

14. The dude who still plays golf with Trump?

Nah I lost interest a while back.

[malaise]

15. A big part of me agrees with you

but one small part loves his game

[tman]

17. Always good to see a comeback

When so many wrote him off, but the thrill is gone for me.

[OneBlueDotBama]

16. Not as bad as the...

German, Bernhard Langer who whined about all the Mexicans voting, when he went to vote... he's not a US citizen and plays with trump all the time.

[spanone]

18. He's the sole leader now!!! GO TIGER

[USALiberal]

34. LOL, yes, he is a real class act. nt

[in2herbs]

19. I am glad you are enjoying the game. To me, watching golf is like watching paint dry.

[Brother Buzz]

20. Tiger Woods no longer has his 'final round' Mojo

Looks like it's a horse race to the finish

[malaise]

21. Looks so

We'll see

[Brother Buzz]

22. Finishing on the leader board would be an achievement at this point.

[malaise]

23. Birdie for Tiger

-5, but Molinari -7 takes charge

[Brother Buzz]

24. And six sitting at six under

Like I said, this is a horse race to the end

[malaise]

25. This is a great finish

regardless of who wins.

[guillaumeb]

26. I love golf.

whenever I find it difficult to sleep, I try watching golf and I always fall asleep.

[malaise]

28. ROFzl

Molinari it is. - great finish

[underpants]

27. Kick it like a Kisner

Rooting for Speith

I see that Sherlock Holmes's arch nemesis Molinari is leading.

[a kennedy]

29. Ha ha, wasn't that Moriarty???

[underpants]

30. Yeah I screwed that up

[Brother Buzz]

31. No, it was Molinari

Arthur Conan Doyle was a lousy speiller.

[grantcart]

32. Actually that is an old canard

Doyle was an excellent English speller but was atrocious in German.

It was Watson who was the errant speller and he first wrote his notes out about Molinari when he was in his cups at Blackheath relating his past glory of playing rugby for Blackheath. At the same time he was relating the classic tale of their overtime win against Ipswich. Given his emotional state, the amount of alcohol and the lipstick of the barmaid it was all that Doyle could do to get that the first letter was a capital "M".

There was also the question of how well Watson could hear unusual names or foreign words because his hearing had suffered from the result of the bullet he took at the Battle of Maiwand.

Whether his spelling suffered more as a result of his imbibing at the club recounting his lost youth or from the injury has been a constant debate among the faithful all of these long years.

In any case Doyle, being an Edwardian Gentleman of the first order, never corrected the misspelling of the name after it first appeared in print because he felt that the stories of Watson going to Germany for advanced studies and then spending all his time ice skating was enough of an embarrassment and so the name of Holmes's chief nemesis has been incorrect all these years.

Bravo to you for correcting it.

33. You like Tiger but hate Federer? Interesting. :-)

[malaise]

35. Strangely I love both their games

but care very little for them as human beings for different reasons.

[USALiberal]

36. I do not think anyone would equate Tiger to Federer. nt

[malaise]

37. Which is why I wrote

for different reasons.
