at the long putts.

Tom bogeys 18, finished today even, +2 for the weekend with 3 three putts should be around for the weekend...his 15th or 16th hole in one! Good to see him around for the weekend

What a great Ace by Tom Watson. Golf is getting more exciting to watch at the years go on

I'm glad the R&A amended the rules so Tom could play above age 60. He is a class act. Did any of you guys see the Feherty show with Watson? Great stuff.

No doubt a class act. I caught the show, had no idea he used to have a drinking problem

Tom's been a bit shaky on the shorter ones or he would be under par at this point. He should be around for the weekend at +2.


Rory giving himself looks but still can't make a putt.

If my memory is right everyone within 10 shots of the lead makes the cut at the open. So that would be +6?

Correct. However, I'm reading something that says the top 70 including ties make the cut.

ESPN leader board is showing +3. I think its everyone within 10 shots or top 70 and ties.

This. Majors are cut differently than regular tour events.

ETA: It appears the Open Championship doesn't include the ten shot rule. I know the Masters and US Open does though.

Would anyone else love to hear Kim Jong Il pronounce "Rory McIlroy"?
