The week has arrived for The Open.

X-man, you can do it.

[Tank]

Rory is the heavy favorite.

First time at Royal Portrush since 1951, or when Pujols was in third grade.

Go Tiger!

[Adam]

I got stenson

[Brandon]

I'm in a unique year round pool that you can't pick the same player twice. This is my lineup. Going to need AO's magic and even though no one says X-man and it's possibly the gayest nickname, if he pulls this off I'll change my name to X-man.

Rory opens with a quadruple bogey.

Sigh...

He ended up shooting 90. 

At this point, I think I could give him a good challenge.

Chubby Duval was a good golfer. Skinny Duval has been terrible.

[fan_since79]

I've had some 13's in my golfing days.

Yeah, once he lost the fat and built the muscle, his game disappeared.

[Angel Oracle]

13?     Channeling his inner Roy McAvoy/Jean VanDeVelde?

[fan_since79]

Well, so much for Tiger.

Round of 78, tied for 144th place.

his glutes must not have been activating properly.

or else he's just setting everyone up for an epic comeback.

[Brandon]

Day 1 in the books, so far so good.

[Angel Oracle]

Andddddd, guess who matched the best score on the day (65), and moved up 76 spots from +3 to -3 (tie for 18th)?

Some dude from Long Beach State?

bookmakers are gonna have plenty of cash left from bets made on Rory to win this week.

Lee Westwood has moved into the lead at the Open.

Very crowded leaderboard.

First slip up by X-man since day one, now back to -6, four in back of the lead

Willett was on fire. Ended up shooting a 65

I hope he continues playing well. It'll make tomorrow that much better with the Irish crowd behind him.
