**** U.S OPEN FIRST ROUND THREAD ******

Aussie can you believe ive backed Rory in his 3 ball... Ill have prob jinxed him so my 40 pounds will be in the bin..

Not a good approach from Tiger. Tricky two putt

oh dear maggot, braindead

Lovely putt. Another par

You can leave me out of 3 ball betting Pattaya, bit of a raffle if you ask me

phil birdie

Was a scoreboard mistake. Phil bogey, bogey, par, birdie so +1 through 4

dl3 -1

Phil started with 3 bogeys ,no scoreboard mistake.

Phil's scrambling off form today

Bohn having the day of his life

Only player under par on front 9 today so far too

stunning shot by Tiger there

He does look rather good.

Anybody found a board where you can highlight your own team?..or have i missed something on the main one?

Anyone else get the feeling Tiger will win this going away?

My apologies......scrambling IS atrocious.

Ominous.

Well .....

I know. I assumed he started on 10 - strange to start on #9.

Wood's odds under 4 now......

Tiger hopefully birdie the easy 7 and finish 3 under

will be harder for later starters... greens will be alot harder and wind may pick up

Only 8 guys under par thus far. Those who go out late will have to play 36 before tiger plays round 2.

Looking like his old self putting the ball in the right spots and picking up shots when the putts drop.

If he swings like this for 4 rounds, you will be looking at a 2000 Pebble Beach scenario.

Quiros hole in 1 ??

Scott stuggling badly too. If there's one pro to Tiger's start it's that I dislike Steve Williams even more than  Woods.

Yes, Ski......

Wrong thread again.

Been trading Tiger very nicely tonight.  In retrospect, made a bit of a mess of Jason, taken stake and a bit out of Raphael Cabrera-Bello, did do Zach Johnson right though.  Good luck.

Jason Bohn that is, taken a bit out of M A J as well.

Found one....you can add your team in this board....

Quiros hole in 1 ??

that was during yesterdays warmup, i think

Was thinking it was an old clip as Quiros hasn't even started yet

Pretty good from Wood today....nice and solid and under par for the 1st nine holes

5 of the toughest holes are during the first 6 holes.....

Tiger not impressed by the monty analysis.

Looks like he is licking his lips here

Tiger has come in a point for two putting his 18th.Wish I saw that coming.

me 2 frames missed the 4.9 when he hit the green. He is 0.3 shorter than he was walking off 5 and finished bogey par par

Can't see there being many ahead when he starts tomorrow. Will be much harder tomorrow pm tho.

Can see a few big numbers this afternoon

and still he shortens

Not a good start for Luke

Firstly...well played Espania.
Secoundly.......great drives Wee Rory and Big Lee.......let the games begin.

Some nice trades possible on WW and Mcilroy in 2 shots!!

This will test Lee's chipping

Not so great 2nd shots though hey buddy, and beating Ireland, wow, that's really something...

Yep,great drives.

Westwood backers can probably concede now if that is any indication

lee john showing us on hole number one why he has never won a major

Lee shortgame master

Westy double bogies the first......and why, why, why, why do anyone back him under 30......when are people ever going to learn......however a nice trade for me.

Westwood could shoot any score here on these fast and firm greens

Tiger still shortening, will be under 3s by the end of play at this rate

Beautifully done Angel

Tiger got to start with the tough first 6 tomorrow his price is beginning to look short to me

Traded Watney, left him nice green and moved to GMac.

some mug backing him for first round leader at 55

But he was -1 for the 1st 6 today........but i can see where you are coming from

By the time Tigger finishes tomorrow night,he will be,at least,10 off the lead !!

Calm down HG...no need to exaggerate

so near but so far! i reckon allen's bogey at last has cost me a share of the e/w on my 250s for first round leader.

still he gave me a good run and i greened out on him on here from the 1000s so still good.

poor show from the top 3 in the world at this moment

I wonder if Paul Lawrie regrets not bothering ?

a strange decision frames. Surely just making the cut would have been a boost to his ryder cup prospects

Playing the best golf of his life .Amazing decision for me.

Painful to watch some of this.

watney double eagle

Albatross Watney.

must be a mistake....hole in one on a 520 yard par 4????

Watney 220 to 65......a dream trade if you got on.....

woods price drifting back out now

suspended great

Tbf it,s only the biggest tournament of the year so far.

just had some woods, cant see it getting any bigger .

you are joking

how many of the TOP 3 BRITS will the 14 year old child beat?
my money is on over 1.5

bigger tonight !

I love Monty's idiosyncratic commentary - today's highlights:

'Ricky Fowler, America's young white hope' (inadvertent borderline racism)

'I know I harper on about it'

Also, apparently he's come second in this on more than one occasion but does n't like to talk about it.

Westwood, Donald, Mcilroy are all farcially short. It is great having a British grown betting tool

I agree westwood is 5 behind woods and 40/1. should be 66 at least

of course I meant farcically

Donald number 1 in the world and +7 is ****ing embarrasing

If your still watching the golf,this is what Tiger and the other late starters will be getting tomorrow,the greens will be watered tonight so expect a bit of a change around,by the time Woods gets out at 1.18 they will be drying out and will be almost impossible to read,as they are now(1.19 am bst)
This tournaments a lottery,be a question of who gets the best of the conditions and that bit of luck.

As said on other thread,Donalds no steel,beaten before hes hit a shot,and Westwood beaten after the 1st hole,double bogey,no confidence at all in the majors.

If you backed these guys at their starting prices on this course you need you bumps felt,lol

Casey Martin .... respect

And Mcilroys chances were also questioned on the U.S open thread,his play is embaressing,he looks like a love sick puppy,pathetic.
Comes to something when a guy with a gammy leg is kicking your a r s e,fair play to Donald though,looks like he might equal the score of a 14 year old

mega red-face

Mcilroys playing like his just had the best b j of his life and is still thinking about it dump her ffs  and start playing you some golf you k n o b

If Westwood's price is silly, so is Ryo Ishikawa's.  Level with Tiger and twenty times the price.  Just lumped on.

Tiger is 20 times a better player

Very doubtful, pattayaboy.  And Ryo will be out in the easier morning conditions tomorrow.

ive never seen fowler an johnny depp on same course

Rory has totally lost his game.... Wont be winning fucl all until he finishes his gf

Yet again proof that Mcilroy will never be a great champion,simply not prepared to battle it out when the goings tough,same as the British open,great at target golf.
Girlfriends obviously a major problem with his game as well,plenty of cash,loved up,young,who needs golf.

Doesnt look like he wants to be here

He wont be come tomorrow evening... he will b on the first clight back to caroline

flight

poulter stole garcias out-fit----nice eagle 7th

Actually pattayaboy u were nearly right 1st time,remove the G and the H

Amazing how many good golfers are at +6. Logic says one or 2 will have good rounds tomorrow, make the cut and then make another run going out early on Saturday. Mickelson is an obvious one and maybe Scott or Rory. Stricker's game is gone so I don't expect anything from him.

tigers price could shorten before he tees off
