Ousthuisen not showing signs of fading early Sunday at the Open Championship

Morning coffee, and a headache for me today. I spent too much time out in the sun and the 100 degree temps yesterday. I played in a city amateur, then hiked several miles in the local mountains. I have mild heat stroke.

After four holes Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa isn’t showing any signs of folding. Typically in major championships, players who are in his position tend to melt down. But Louis is looking good. He’s sitting on a five shot lead and nobody in the field is making any kind of run at him. Oosthuizen is leading in nearly every important statistical category.

Tiger Woods (currently tied for 27th) will be on his private jet on the way home before Oosthuizen finishes his round.

Phil Mickelson, who doesn’t typically play well in the (British) Open Championship is 13 shots back after 14 holes.

Paul Casey is in the final group and is five shots back. He’s +1 on the day.

Barring a nuclear meltdown, Ousthuisen will become a household name. I’ve already added him to the HOG tag list, which means he’s made the big time. But this is the Open and conditions are tough. Anything can happen.

Did Adam Barr Golf acquire Golf Channel’s email list?

My inbox just chimed… Two emails from Adam Barr Golf. I’ve been getting these spam emails from Adam Barr Golf the last while, on two different email addresses. I never signed up for anything with this guy and haven’t ever been to his web site so I’m wondering how the &$*% I got on his email list.

A little research told me that earlier this year Barr’s contract with Golf Channel wasn’t renewed, so he’s on his own. I don’t watch TGC enough to even know that the guy was gone honestly. I’m only watching live golf these days so any other programming I just don’t have time to watch.

Obviously Barr has gotten two of my golf based emails from some list (TGC’s perhaps), because now I get spam emails from him all the time.

Update: I’ve unsubscribed today, on both the emails…

Play has resumed at St. Andrews

10:44am ET

About one hour after play was suspended at the Open Championship, play has resumed. Play would have resumed a few minutes earlier, but Sean O’Hair was missing in action and they had to wait for him to return.

Classic shot of the old fashioned, hand cranked leader board at St. Andrews:

“Play has been suspended due to high wind. LOL”

LOL!?!?! That is hilarious!

Play suspended due to wind at the Open Championship

9:39amET Friday

Play has been suspended due to high winds (over 40mph) at St. Andrews and the Open Championship. The winds are so high that balls won’t stay still in their original positions on the greens. Once the winds subside, play will resume.

A few scores of note

Louis Oosthuizen shot a 67 today and sits three shots ahead (-12) of yesterday’s leader Rory McIlroy. Mark Calcavecchia shot a nice 67 in these conditions to move up to 3rd on the leaderboard at -7. Paul Casey (69 today) is tied for 4th with Lee Westwood (71) at -6. Tiger Woods is on the course at -5 but hasn’t finished the first hole. Phil Mickelson finished his 2nd round and sits at even par.

Cut

The current cut line is even par, but in these conditions it is anticipated that the cut will move to +1 or +2.
