Anyone else staying up and watching?

I've been at the bars, nothing better to do right now, so might as well watch the 4 AM group (including McIlroy).


I was in an office pool and it was pick 3 $10 entry fee I took McIlroy, Kaymer, and Westwood I'm hoping they do well I could use the money ha.

By the way...sergio has really played well lately. Seems he's been in the top 5-10 in the last couple tournaments I've watched.

Took Graeme McDowell in the longshot pool. Hoping he can be the notable northern irishman playing on Sunday.

Nice timing on my part....I drove 519 miles from Virginia Beach to southern Ohio, unpacked, collapsed into my leather recliner, turned on the British Open and Tom Watson was addressing his ball from the tee. He then hits the ball into the hole for his 15th career hole-in-one.

The guy is just filled with insane British Open moments

Hope Glover can win another major. Played with him at Heatherwood trying to qualify for the buy.com tour event at Yankee Trace in 2002. I'd say he's come a long way since then, had a rough year this season though outside of 1 event.

Clarke can't make a birdie putt to get some space and leaders are losing slightly. McIlroy just posted a hockey stick and is now +4. Fowler is having a good back 9 and is -1 on the tourney with a couple holes left.

Many are very shaky on the 3 footers...most of the guys up top even. Killing Bjorn.

Clarke was unreal today. Definitely hoping DJ and Fowler can be there in the end.

Would love to see Phil post an early number and see what happens. Jimenez used to drive me crazy, there was just something about him that I didn't like.....but, having watched him play at Firestone a couple of times and after seeing him hit the shot off the wall and onto the green in an Open Championship, I wouldn't mind seeing him get a title.

Phil shoots a 30 on the front nine today to make this interesting.

Phil's on a tear, but usually when he does this he dropped a few coming home. Clarke looks destined to win this. Going to be a great finish.

Phil's collapse in full force.

DJ has a great shot though.
