The 150th Open Championship returns to the home of golf, to the Old Course at St Andrews (apparently no period). They've been running a ton of commercials talking about Tiger potentially winning a 3rd Open at this venue, which is just lol, but I guess something something he is the needle. As with the U.S. Open, LIV golfers will be allowed to play.

Tiger! It's his year! He drove the green on 18 during his practice round yesterday!

Sticking with the hot hand, Matsuyama.

I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

He’s mostly played like poo poo recently, but if I can get the defending champion I’ll take it. Give me Morikawa.

gently caress it, I'll stick with Koepka. Weather looks to be pretty decent this year as well.

I’ll take Oosthuizen.

My 2-year old has been annoyingly waking up every night at 3am but now I really hope he keeps it up this weekend so I can catch more of this than I normally would.

They're actually playing golf right now, it's streaming on The Open's YouTube channel. It's some sort of past champions mixed team event and Eldrick is teeing off in a few minutes.

Gimme sahith theegala, dude is due to get a win even though I can just as easily see him self immolate on the 72nd hole for a 7 to totally blow it.

I considered Sahith for a moment before flashing back to the 72nd at Traveler’s and then remembering what course is being played this week.

Apparently, the last 3 winners at St Andrews led putting that week.

My Zalatoris pick isn't looking so hot.

Fixed the link OP with the available players list for the pool: https://www.theopen.com/field

He seems like a decent putter when he can make a full stroke, it’s just the shorties that look so damned awkward. I’d imagine playing greens that run at 11 instead of 14 probably helps him more than most? Maybe not.

Wasn't zalatoris #1 in strokes gained putting for the US open? His putting is definitely the worst part of his game but I could see him dropping some crazy good rounds if the weather is decent. I was surprised he's not top 10 in betting odds.

The Open On the Range coverage is on Youtube, which aside from being convenient for TVs means you get some mildly amusing chat:

I think Padraig Harrington could be a sneaky good pick this week. He won the US Senior Open a couple weeks ago and was hitting 182mph ballspeed so he can definitely keep up with the young guys.

Oosthuizen definitely winning the pool though.

My brain knows it'll be someone else but my heart would sing if Tiger took the win. Rory would be absolutely fantastic as well, as he's seemingly the mouthpiece of the PGA right now.

The marquee tee times kinda suck

9:58am: Collin Morikawa, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele
10:09am: Shane Lowry, Justin Thomas, Viktor Hovland
2:59pm Tiger Woods, Matt Fitzpatrick, Max Homa
3:10pm Jordan Spieth, Jon Rahm, Harold Varner III

Yeah the video is frozen for me even though the audio is live.

Strangely enough, my Youtube TV is simulcasting that stream in 4K HDR and the video is fine.
