Anyone concerned that the first major in more than a decade without Tiger in the field would be a snooze surely has to change his tune. I am still stunned from waking up this morning to follow newlywed Mr. Chrissy Evert, aka Greg Norman, roll in monster putts on 17 and 18 to be the low man in the clubhouse half way through the The Open Championship. And now I turn on the webcast upon my return from lunch to see David Duval make a deuce on 14 in order to get back to second place.

I am sooooo hoping Duval can hold on an maybe make one more bridie coming in so that the final group on Saturday will be Duval and Norman. How amazing would that final twosome be! The only problem is that I am not sure which one I will be rooting for more. Also, with Rocco Mediate, KJ Choi and Camilo Villeges all in the hunt (along with defending champ Padrig Harrington and even our old friend Jean Van de Velde), the diversity and number of weekend storylines for this Open Championship is astounding.
