I've gone for Ben Curtis to win again.

What a start by Westwood.

Drinks Sangria · « **Reply #82 on:** July 19, 2012, 10:26:32 AM »

Double bogey by Lee. I really want him to win. Got no money on him, just hope he wins a major at some point. Needs to sort out his short game.

A few little bets. YE Yang, G-Mac and Elliott Saltman.

So after all the talk it seems as though the course is quite benign at the moment? Is the weather decent and is it set to stay that way?

Not at Royal St Georges last year you weren't, I had to smuggle mine in. You have to give them up at the gate and collect when you leave.

thats right, although im not sure how you smuggled it in? bags were xrayed and we had to walk through airport scanners.

Phones are alowed this year.

a few very good scores but a few nightmares, Rose having a shocker and Westy already way behind the leaders, not sure you can give so many good players leads like this

What a horrible, horrible course! Why is this anywhere near the rota? A course surrounded by council estates and not on the coast?! It may as well be in the midlands!

No wonder most of the players don't like it.

How is it not on the coast? God forbid the council houses though..

Who says most of the people's dont like it? The main gripe was the fact it's overly tough and an unforgiving course, pretty much standard fare with Open golf.

Exactly.
I've played all The Open courses, as well as all the links along the Lancs coast & on the Ayreshire coast, and while Lytham is not my favourite, it is still a fine track, and I will never turn down an opportunity to play there.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #100 on:** July 19, 2012, 07:38:19 PM »

Looks like Mickelson and Westwood have a lot of work to do if they want to put themselves in contention for the weekend.

Great start by Tiger.

Looking at the leaderboard, looks like the cream will rise to the top, course seems great to me. Don't think many players don't like it

I'm going last day, will be having £20 win on Westwood and £100 top 5. Really fancy Lee to finally lay the major ghost, but really can't see him out of top 5... Currently 5.1 on betfair and 17 to win

Hate to say it mate but I think you have done your money in.

Can't see how Westwood will recover from this.

No 'leaders' as such tomo, if they were playing early today the are out late tomo and visa versa. Saturday and Sunday when they go out in score order with the leaders last

stevied · « **Reply #107 on:** July 19, 2012, 09:23:28 PM »

Majority of the leading scores were made this morning so they will be out in the afternoon

Not available in Ireland. Also yes they have a live feed of what's on BBC2, I have that
