My son got us tickets to a practice round at the Open, so we'll be heading out bright and early Tuesday morning.

Made it for -4.

Rory is dead at +7. Rickie at +6. Jordan needs a really tough up and down to stay at +2 for the day. Fox really wants a nice round from JDay/DJ in a little bit here.

Jason Day played three bunker shots on hole #7.

I hate Fox so much. They're so bad at this.

I haven't watched any of the TV coverage but the online stuff is great. Every shot from two top groups and some extra holes. And a shitload of protracer.

They're bad at sports broadcasting in general.

Coverage is better than CBS. Transitions still clunky but they show a lot of shots, decent angles, and use protracer.

I always root for Dustin Johnson. So maybe for his sake I shouldn't this weekend.

He is 25/27 in GIRs. That is incredible for a US Open course.

Is Jason day the only guy on the course? Why is he getting so much camera time? Did Phil die or something?

Nice rebound for Landry. Think he was 3 or 4 under on the back to get to -3.

Watson took two shots to get it 620 yards then five shots for the final 40 feet for a double bogey.

There's a real danger of Rory and Spieth not making the cut.

OK Jordan is safe. Rory still has to play the last 2 tough holes in even par.
