The tournament in Silvis is generally quite a good one. Most of the ones before majors (Shell Houston, FedEx St Jude) typically are.

Sucks Rory won't be playing in The Open. I guess the only thing you can say is that he could have screwed up his ankle running or working out, and didn't do something so incredibly stupid like blow his fingers off with a fire cracker.

There should be some low scores this weekend, especially if the course is soft. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody went as low as 61 or 62.

So what are you guys watching this weekend, John Deere or the Scottish Open? or both?

I've got both recording today, not sure which I'll pay more attention to. probably the Scottish since it has a better field sans Spieth.

I don't think so...last year I went on a last minute decision and only stuck around long enough to watch 4 or 5 groups play through 18 and enjoy a pork chop sandwich. I don't enjoy watching it in person nearly as much as I used to, and that course can be a bitch to walk compared to the old one.

Chris Kirk broke his hand playing with his son. He was withdrawn from the Open Championship. Winfield's own Kevin Streelman will take his place.

Spieth flys in Monday night....gets 1 day of practice? Needs to get sleep pattern adjusted....a win here would be really impressive...

He's 21, I don't think that will matter at all.

The 2016 Masters will be the last for Tom Watson. If he doesn't finish top ten this weekend (top 10 finishers automatically qualify for the next five years), this will be his last Open Championship.

Tiger is no longer a big boy but yeah I saw he was having some major trouble with his wedges and putter on the front nine.
