Scottish Open _may have spoilers...

Couple of lesser lights able to get 3 or 4 under on first 9 so scoring seems possible, lets see what the 'names' do when they start
 
what times it on fellas so I can stream it?

Bit late but started at 10:30am :thup:

Justin Rose looking very very good today.

Rory off at 13:20.

Hats off to the organisers so far, fantastic event to watch. Course looks lovely.
 
Rory kicks off with bogey after carving one into the rough.

Will be interested to see how he bounces back.
 
Rory knocking it around a bit today. Good test for him ahead of next week.

Wind is getting up as well.
 
one thing i did notice yesterday, they were not playing some holes from the very back so the course is less than the 6895 on the card

the 3rd is 40 yards further forward and still is today;)

I noticed they have moved a few tees up and back each day too. It probably makes it harder as they have brought different things into play. The organisers have set the course up very well i think both days so far.

They can make it quite a bit harder yet too i reckon. Some of the players have just lost their cool completely today and when you do that we all know the rest ;)
 
Anyone know what the forecast is for the weekend up there?


Yes I do - playing next door to Royal Aberdeen at 9.30 tomorrow morning and forecast states sun shining(it always does on the golf course) wind similar to today - normal for us up here.

Played there today as well and I did not hear one of my party of circa 30 mention the wind whilst entering their returns.
I think maybe the pros are wimps!

Sunday looks wet and windy.
 
At the risk of being obvious.......what if there is no wind at The Open one year.........unlikely I know!

Happened in 2000. TW shot -19 on TOC to win by 8.

I agree with Dodger about the likelihood of Rory winning an Open - only if there's no wind. 2010 at TOC - 4 rounds no score in the 70s, but the windy day was a disaster! He hits the ball sooo incredibly high!
