The Open Is Here! First Day Preview & Comment Thread
/The Open at Muirfield has arrived and early Thursday is surprisingly breezy out of the west, meaning the first hole is directly into the wind. Combine that with the firmness, the narrowness, the severity of the rough, and it will be long tough day. And as I note in Golf World Daily, the driver will be seldom used all week.
That said, Miguel Angel Jimenez is 4-under through 5!
Your starting times here.
Scoring here.
For Americans, the ESPN broadcast schedule is here.
As for my viewing, I'll likely take in an oddball group for some fun, the McIlroy-Mickelson-Matsuyama 9:44 grouping and then it'll be time for afternoon tea. Cheers!
