There will be plenty of low numbers today. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 63 or there abouts. Tomorrow will be the total opposite, really treacherous weather forecast.

So Spieth's preparation was wrong was it
Followed him for 6 holes yesterday. Spend lots of time on each green. He has plastic markers that he was laying down and putting to, presumably common pin placements. He hit at least a dozen putts on each green I saw him on.
He has all the tools to win this week, unless he's awful in bad weather, but he has a very mature head on his young shoulders, can't see him making many mistakes.

I wish the BBC commentators would learn to pronounce the names properly. It Isnt ooosthuzen. It is Oasthowzen and it isn't Gooozen, it is Go-zen. As for the clubs I play with, hmmm, Cobra driver and 3-wood, Taylormade rescue 22 degree. ping S58 irons from 3 to a 60 degree wedge and a Taylormade putter.

Spieth is hot atm, BUT, you know how golf goes, from day to day, week to week....even month to month. It's called "The Open" because it is just that. It is open to everyone who qualifies and a few are invited. Spieth is favourite for a reason, well two reasons. But St Andrews is a course where anyone who plays well over four days (in fact, putts well over four days because the greens are HUGE), could win. It is a unique course which requires a certain strategic play, as all courses do. But St Andrews is more unique than most courses

I know Tiger bashing is popular but so far this year during all of his troubles his conduct both off and on the course has been admirable. I haven't heard any complaints or excuses, just honest assessment. That's difficult to do when the world is watching and half of them are desperate for you to fail. I doubt there are many who could conduct themselves the way he has in the same situation.

He was smiling walking up the fairway near the end... you can't smile then claim an injury. Blasted camera's catching him smiling.

Not so sure I like the Road Hole with the 2 fairway option.
In my opinion I feel it was a more challenging hole before the changes.

I haven't put money on this year, but usually I go for big nose, aka dustin Johnson. I have ruled him out at Saint Andrews, because he can't putt. Good call.
I have a fiver each way bet, split between 3 of us at the golf club. We share the winnings, if there are any! I have Casey, and the other two have Rose, and Louis Oost. We are still in with a shout, which isn't bad. My pick of DJ got us our money back at Chambers Bay last time out, when the other two picked Rickie (ouch!) and Furyk.
Speith has been my shout from before the off, but there's no value betting on him, or McIlroy, so I can't do it.

Current forecast is for 40+ mph winds on Saturday morning.
Would this be enough to halt play?
Would the ball be blown around the greens?

I think I heard Peter Alliss tell Hazel Irvine that this will be his last time commenting at The Open.
I think he is right to call it a day but I will miss both his knowledge and his humerous asides.
I am sure many here will be pleased as they seem to prefer more modern styles of commentary but Peter Alliss had a wealth of experience from a long and successful life in golf and will be missed by many.
