Why the two tee start ? Too many qualify or bad weather forecast.
Tiger will win 2014 Open

Tiger's problem in late 30s he's outgunned by those 15 years younger and from being one of longest of tee he's not now but he still gives driver an almighty lash. Needs to play with himself . He's not going to hit 396 yd drives, so he needs to be on the short stuff and let his strong irons/short game get him his score. He's been in this position for some time, and Heaney's major work with tiger was to get him to minimise risk of the miss.

Haha. I don't think he's got any problem in that department.
If Woods wins this 2014 Open I'll play H4H starkers. His driver was terrible and he looked so different to yesterday

He better not win then as H4H event will be a one man event .......................EYG

I watched Woods give his driver an almighty lash on the 17th today and carve it OOB. Sometimes I really don't understand what goes on in his head, I'm an amateur golfer and I have better course management than he does

Hitting it off the first was an equally bizarre decision. It was almost like he was trying to get confidence with it or prove that he could.

So Woods is pretty much propping up the table of those who've made the cut, yet still goes out in the last group (granted off the 10th)??
Is this a bit of favoritism from the R&A?

Can see why they've done it but unless Tigger gets into red figures he should be shown as much as Matt Every or anyone else down at that end of the field - ain't gonna happen though.....

Not necessarily, Tiger woods is the most successful golfer of the generation whereas Matt Every ain't.

Even the BBC is going to show a lot of Tiger but at least it won't be as bad as US TV where they would show lingering shots of him standing picking his nose when they could be showing someone in contention actually playing golf. I don't imagine we will miss much Rory coverage because of Tiger.

Agreed, but we'll miss plenty from guys a few shots off the lead who might be playing themselves into contention....
However, I do want to see a bit of Tiger to see if he can improve on yesterday or if he's still having to grind it out.
I actually think it's a pretty good decision from the R&A to operate two tee starts, and a pretty big change from their staid and traditional approach. Just good to see players out there in what look "interesting" conditions on moving day

I agree. It gives the organisers enough buffer time in case of lightning delays. There was a risk that most of today's play could have been wiped out meaning tomorrow would have been a bit naff.

And they're both at the back of quite a large field.......
Tiger playing a lot nicer today... I must of jinxed him yesterday

So only the leaders should ever be shown? Not last year's winner, the local amateur, 64 year old Tom Watson? Perhaps there is interest in seeing players that aren't necessarily at the top of the field?
