If the weather stays like this  they're going really low.   We could see a 63 today.  If the 4 day forecast doesn't change I'm predicting -20. 

[MuggsyB]

Good start for Rory.

Cameron Young -7 through 12.  I think guys need to shoot 70 or better today.  Maybe 69.

Mickelson in the clubhouse at even par

It looks like the course is playing a touch harder in the afternoon but I expected lower scorers.  Young should have shot a 63.  Rory needs to refocus the last 5 holes.

Ouch.  Not a smart shot from Tiger on 1.

A little bad luck for Tiger on one hitting into a divot…

Rory is winning by 5 strokes

Love how Rory got off to a fast start . Would be fantastic if he can keep up solid play all four rounds

I amend my “Tiger wins by 10” prediction. Thinking he wins by at least 15 now - the comeback of the millennium!

But in the highly unlikely event that he keeps being unlucky and somehow doesn’t win, I’m already looking forward to the conversation about his certain 2023 Masters victory.

I think we need to take all the positive comments from Tiger’s friends with a major grain of salt. Which, I think most of us have.

This could be a quick death for Tiger

He hasn't got to hit his special shots that NOBODY else was practicing.  JUST WAIT!!!

Which is wild, because his short game has been awful today

+6 through 8 for Woods??  Is my phone accurate?  Yikes.

He’s been terrible

How does Speith look?  It looks like Scheffler is the only guy doing much in thr afternoon.

Like Spieth.  He’s had some looks and some waywardness.  Grinding but avoiding the big number.  So far

[PGsHeroes32]

Wind much tougher the afternoon session.

But Rahm is really missing chances right now.

He was -2 through 7 but forsure should have been -3 and had 2 other make able birides that both missed.

THen his first miss hit on 8 results in a immediate bogey.

So hes -1 when his hole approach has had him much closer to a -3.

[PGsHeroes32]

The moment is too big for Rahm

Dude is choking putt after putt

This has to be Tiger’s last competitive tournament before the 2023 Masters right? It seems to me he is only playing the majors this year because he’s won at the courses and especially loves St. Andrews.

If they were at any other locations, I have to think he’s still rehabbing and maybe gets himself and his game into good enough shape to be respectable in 2023.

US Open champion and 14 time PGA tour winner, and former World #1, can't handle the pressure of the first round of a major tournament that he finished top 3 in last year.  Bright lights just TOOO bright for him.
