I hope DJ pulls it off just to get the monkey off the pack from Chambers Bay and the PGA championship a few years back when he "grounded" his club in a "sand trap", which was more of a walking path for spectators. Speith winning a 3rd straight would be pretty epic as well.
to like Dustin Johnson but to be honest he really comes across as a complete knob. He did get hosed at the PGA though, I will give you that. If he is clicking and the weather stays nice for the most part be may literally be too long for the Old Course to mount any serious defense. He could run away and hide if he goes low tomorrow.
away would be a nice story. It would remind me of Tom Lehman in '06 when he narrowly lost to Steve Jones in the playoff at Oakland Hills (that must have been before they went to a full Monday 18-hole playoff?) and turned around and won the British.
However I just can't get "golfer who cokes/coked up" out of my head when I see him play. Super talented guy, I hope he's getting it together now that he's part of the Gretzky royal family.
"monkey off the pack"
What the hell?
funny.
the US Open at Pebble Beach where he was the 54 leader and then shot something like 80 on Sunday. McDowell ended up winning it that year.
Pink spikes look great!
after partying all night!
Major that much more interesting. Fowler is always fun to root for.. DJ seems to have the formula.. Hits it long and straight and is putting like the hole is an ocean. Lots of cool storylines

GOAT.
St Andrews = FLAVOR COUNTRY.
And 5 shots better than Tiger.
Supposedly healthy. Lots of prep time. A course where he has previously had success. Is there any better evidence that it is probably over for Tiger as an elite golfer?
waitress at a local restaurant to bang in the parking lot, or find another players wife to bang
He banged Jason Dufner's wife already this year... maybe he needs to bang more broads.
your avatar is spectacular
What he needs is a new HGH connection.
Not so fast. Tiger is healthy but he hasnt been healthy all that long. If he stays healthy for another year and doesnt win anything im ready to write him off although i wont because i love the man
love him? In all seriousness, I have been on the "don't write him off" bandwagon for a while now but I see little evidence to conclude that he can compete with these guys anymore. 40 isn't particularly old in golf but it ain't young either. Jack winning a major at 46 is considered one of the great accomplishments in golfing history. The clock is ticking and his play continues to deteriorate. I think washed up is in play at this point.
Tiger had his worst round as a pro at the Old Course today, albeit a +4.
So many new swings, caddies, etc.
You can put a fork in him.
What’s rather remarkable to me is that the 190th ranked male golfer in the world already has won a little over $225,000 in 2015.
The British Open will be the eighth tournament in which he has played in 2015, and it looks like this will be the third time that he'll miss the cut. He's currently tied for 140th, eleven strokes behind the leader. In fairness to him, he was four over after seven holes, but then played even par the rest of the way. At even par, he would've been tied for 64th and seven shots behind the leader.
Even if Tiger Woods continues to miss the cut at major tournaments and can't crack the top twenty in most other events, he still has a chance to earn a lot of money playing golf. If he hasn’t squandered most of the money that he had left after his divorce, then he just might be able to continue playing on the tour. His only problems will be (a) the loss of sponsorship opportunities and (b) the possibility that his expenses to continue playing on the PGA Tour might be significantly greater than his income from tour events.
Dustin Johnson isn't exactly a model citizen from what I've heard...
Neither am I, that's why I like him. Also Paulina Gretzky.
but his partner is super hot.
Thank You OP for calling it the British Open. Changing it to "The Open" and expecting everyone to go along with it is just dumb. It's like when the NCAA added those stupid play in games for the tournament and expected us to call them the first round.
I agree. What's the point of switcing to a less specific name?
It was the first one, so The Open sounds more prestigious.
"the Open" locally where it is played, "British" was added because the American audience typically referred to the US Open as The Open. I like "the Open" better but people do unnecessarily freak out when somebody calls it The British Open.

Anyone else have a problem withh Jordan Speith? HIs game is just so boring it is hard to want to watch him to me
kind of boring but it is because he is so good that he makes it look easy. If you watch an entire round of his you really start to appreciate him though. His game is boring because he never puts himself in positions where he has to play "exciting" golf. His game is almost error-free.
"likeable" guy. But I would rather follow Bubba, Rickie or Rory around the course, for sure.
Maybe it's his persona you find boring.
Because he's smart around the golf course and minimizes mistakes makes him anything but boring in my eyes.
often criticized Ben Hogan for being boring. Worked out well for him.
Ben Hogan was "boring" like Spieth. So was Byron Nelson. It worked out pretty well for them.
The same way that is boring to watch a 15 play touchdown drive. It gets the job done but there is no explosiveness. Speith hits the ball straight and short without much shape in his shots. His swing is also rather ugly so that doesn't help
swing? He has one of the most natural and effortless golf swings I have ever seen.
his follow through locks as if he never takes a full swing. Guys like Rory and Tiger among others swings are so loose and smooth. Speith's seems like he cant go through any further or something because of a lack of flexibility.
As it is, I like watching these guys hit shots from behind bushes, punching out from the woods and taking drops. That's something I can relate to.
Kind of my point. Its exciting to watch a great player consistently hit the great escape shots that most golfers would play safe
Yeah... I wanted Tiger to have some miraculous comeback but that ain't gonna happen.
:(
I guess Spieth winning 3 majors in a row for the first time in forever would be cool.
My bro-in-law played the following courses last year: St. Andrew's; Carnoustie; Kingsbarns; Royal Troon; Turnberry; Glen Eagles...I hate him.
I really like The Open, especially at St. Andrews. Here's hoping Fowler wins, but I'd be OK with Spieth or Watson.
