Rory carded an 8 over 79, which started with a quad bogey on the first hole - ouch.
In looking at the leaderboard, another interesting note was David Duval’s 19 over 90. He actually birdied the first 2 holes and was 2 under through 4. Then he proceeded take an 8, a 7 and even a 13 at one point. Wow.
Hard to bet against Koepka at this point.
Love the setting this year - beautiful course, rolling hills, and not brown like most Opens.
At what point is Duval not allowed to come back?
Also, if the leader isn’t going to blow a 3 stroke lead in spectacular fashion on the 72nd hole then I probably won’t muster enough interest to watch.
The top picture on ESPN’s golf page is Rory on 1 deep in the ferns picking fiddleheads. That can’t be good,

He put up a snowman on 1. Good start.

I think past winners get lifetime exemptions, kinda like the Masters.

Yup, then once they start to really suck (at least at the Masters) they get a letter requesting that they not play any longer.
That time has come for Duval.

Didn’t know that. Then yes, I think that time has come. His spot should open up for someone with a viable shot of competing.
Sergio is in at 3 under, but he started very early. Tiger is 3 over through 6, a bogey and a double.
I haven’t heard much of the weather, but I’m sure it’s gotta be playing some part in the bad scoring

Tiger is glad he is still playing.

Tiger wishes he wasn’t playing today. 6 over through 11.
and the R&A with the ultimate needle - upon further review, Duval actually took a 14 on that hole to card a 91. ouch! He seems to be taking it relatively well though. I don’t think he thought he could win, but I imagine if he didn’t think he could make the cut he wouldn’t have shown up.

I think the Open exemption is only through age 60.

He plays like an 80 year old.

Rory ended up with a +8 79. That’s T150 out of 156–just a hand full of players ahead of Duval. Ouch.
I was hoping he would play well and contend. It was a huge deal for him to play the Open in his home country.
Woods carded a 78, and will also likely miss the cut. His body language isn’t good. Doesn’t seem like he really cares.
Wow just a few in at 3 under.
I just learned that Rory came back today with a 65 and just missed the cut by 1 stroke. Great on him, but ouch again.
Great leader board, as you’d expect at a major. I’m glad to see Spieth playing so well. That would be a great story for him to win and end his drought. Especially at the Open, where he last won in 2017.
And of course, Koepka is right there too.
Should be a great weekend. I love the Open because I can wake up watch. Good stuff.
Wow Rory missed cut by 1 given that start… that’s really gotta hurt. Yes love watching in the AM.
Just looked at his score card, course record 65 second round. 5 over par on the last 3 holes in round 1… miss cut by 1… ouch.
Saturday was pretty amazing - Lowery played unbelievable…while he has a 4 shot lead tomorrow will be tough if the weather gets bad. I hope he wins, it would crazy for an Irish man to win this event - this year.
Yeah, Lowry had a real dream day. I’m pulling for him now for sure. They did a good job explaining that his game was not in a good place at coming into this week. That, and his being Irish, what a great story.
It was great to see Westwood tied for the lead once again in a major, but painful to watch his inevitable fade. He did shoot a 70, so he didn’t fall apart–just couldn’t keep up.
They’re going off early tomorrow due to the expected weather.
