  OMFG......after 9 holes the leader is now at -5, at this bloody pace and if the weather remains "nice", the winner might as well finish under 20!!!

  GOOD LUCK LADIES & GENTLEMEN : )))

  ...& THANKS FOR BEING PART OF THIS LITTLE FUNNY COMPETITION. (LITTLE MORE THANKS TO ALL SPONSORS)

  Not a chance. The local forecast for Friday and Saturday is wind and rain.

  Local forecast for Friday and Saturday

  Friday

  Wet and windy start, with heavy rain at times, but rain slowly becoming lighter and moving away northwards. Becoming brighter in afternoon as winds turn southwesterly but showers developing later

  Outlook for Saturday to Monday

  Mainly cloudy and rather windy on Saturday, with heavy, sometimes thundery showers. Drier and brighter on Sunday with lighter northwest winds.

  It appears that the players with an early start today and a late start tomorrow are going to get the best conditions.

  Yikes, hand't seen this, Spieth & D. Johnson are playing together thursday & friday!!!

  They have just started hole 1 together with Matsuyama........this is going to be the par to follow through 18 holes at least for the next two days.

  Johnson driving 336 yards in hole 2.......geeeez.

  Awesome stuff : )))

  Eric

  edit....feel so sorry for Tiger, the man is in big trouble, water in hole 1 and short by 50 yards in his approach at hole 2 from....fairway!!!.... : (((

  ...is more embarrassing than anything else playing this way, perhaps is time stop the hole thing Tiger.

  Cheating on wife's is always a very bad idea!!! ; )))...lol

  Weather forecasters do get hangovers, and do get it wrong sometimes.

  Hole 4, par 5, D. Johnson driving 335 yards compare to 286 from Spieth & Matsu.....incredible....& Johnson eagles!!! haha

  Glad to hear Peter Allis is on form already with his one liner wit. He just commented on Woods dress code for the round, "....forty shades of grey....".
