It was an unbelievable day where the game of golf got
started. On a day when everything was cool and calm, Rory McIlroy put on a
tremendous show, scorching St. Andrews with a 9 under 63 to lead the Open
Championship by two strokes. It was a simple day for great scores, with 45
rounds in the 60s. McIlroy's 63 ties the lowest round for any major.
Tiger Woods is lurking after shooting 67, finishing his round with three
birdies and one bogey. Last year's Open Championship, the ageless Tom Watson
almost won it, this year it's another former champion. John Daly, the 1995
Open Championship winner at St. Andrew's, shooting a 66 opening round. Daly
needs the conditions to be perfect if he's going to continue near the top of
the leaderboard. Don't count on it, the conditions will change and he'll
fade. He is a great sideshow that gets one more chance to take the
The conditions helped Daly. His booming tee shots and no wind gave him a
tremendous advantage over the field. The early conditions changed as the
rain came around noon. The conditions will now take over during the rest of
the tournament. The questions are can McIlroy keep up his great game with
the conditions changing. How much worry surrounds having to play with Tiger.
Is he on his way to breaking Jack Nicklaus' record? he seems to be back
after a few shaky rounds, missing the cut at a tournament. Most fans have
forgotten his off the course transgressions, they just want to see the
world's best golfer chasing Nicklaus' Majors record.
St. Andrew's is a magical place where the game started. it's been the scene
for a lot of great Open Championship moments. It looks like this weekend is
setting up to be another magical go around at St. Andrew's.
