The more recent OPEN winners from St. Andrews
1970 Jack Nicklaus 68 69 73 73 283 (−5) Doug Sanders missed a tough two and a half-foot putt on the 72nd hole, bogeyed, and ended up tied with Nicklaus. The playoff the next day came down to 18th hole and Nicklaus birdied to win; it was his second Open title and eighth overall Major. 1978 Jack Nicklaus 71 72 69 69 281 (−7) Nicklaus completed the career Grand Slam (winning all four majors in your career at least once) for the third time making it his third Open Championship. 1984 Seve Ballesteros 69 68 70 69 276 (−12) The leaderboard for the final day was full of the best golfers in the world at the time. Ballesteros beat Bernhard Langer, Tom Watson, Fred Couples, Lanny Wadkins, Nick Faldo, and Greg Norman to make an epic final round at St Andrews. Ballesteros birdied the 72nd hole to win by two, and his fist pump is an iconic image to this day. His second OPEN win. 1990 Nick Faldo 67 65 67 71 270 (−18) Faldo set the Open championship scoring record shooting 18 under par, winning his second major of the year, his second Open Championship and his fourth overall major. 1995 John Daly 67 71 73 71 282 (−6) This Open was significant because it was the first that Tiger Woods played in, and the last that Arnold Palmer played in, getting to have his farewell at St Andrews. John Daly beat Costantino Rocca in a four-hole playoff to win the Open title. 2000 Tiger Woods 67 66 67 69 269 (−19) Winning the 2000 British Open was Tiger Woods' second consecutive major championship; he would win the next two as well for four consecutive major victories over two years - the "Tiger Slam". He didn't hit a single bunker the entire tournament, shot in the 60's all four rounds, won by eight strokes, and set the new Open Championship scoring record with 19 under par. 2005 Tiger Woods 66 67 71 70 274 (−14) This was Jack Nicklaus's last Open Championship and like Arnold Palmer, he finished on the Old Course. This was also Tiger's 10th major championship and the fourth one he had won by five or more strokes 2010 Louis Oosthuizen 65 67 69 71 272 (−16) On the 150th anniversary of the first Open Championship, Oosthuizen played consistently well, winning the Open title by shooting a 16 under par 272 and winning by seven strokes. Rory McIlroy shot a 63 in the opening round. A wee note laddie on the OPEN Winners from St. Andrews.....and their final two rounds scores... -4 (69,71) Louis. -3 (71,70) Tiger. -8 (67,69) Tiger. Par (73,71) Daly. -6 (67,71) Faldo. -5 (70,69) Seve. -6 (69,69) Jack. +2 (73,73) Jack. |

Rd4. - the flags will be tucked away for gettable pars, but very tough birdies as in 2010 - Louis shot 71, Tiger 70 & 69 in their final rounds to win.

good point about the pin positions. especially after todays birdie-fest. theyll be a lot tougher tomorrow, making it really hard for anybody too far off the pace to come back to win it. add in the possible wind and rain, and the pressure, -14 or -15 could well win it.

I'm just hoping the weather doesn't become so bad that they can't finish it today - looks pretty grim from about 2.00pm onwards, certainly wouldn't be surprised if there is a suspension of play at some point.
The leaders are on -12 but if the weather intervenes the winning score could easily be less. If an early starter can shoot 65 or so before the rain starts and post a decent clubhouse score they might have a squeak (like Paul Lawrie at Carnousite). There are loads of options but Phil Mickelson is on -4 and tees off at 10.10am so given his genius he could shoot 65 and get to -11 so I've had to throw £2 away at 1,000 just in case. |

early scoring suggests the pins are not hidden on first 12 holes

How is it that the BBC cover all the Wimbledon tennis matches yet very little of the golf, of the current leaders we have seen none of their golf take Dunne, Ousthaesein and even Day. Very poor coverage anyone got a reason, does look like BBC shooting themselves in the foot.
