What a belter of an opening round. Set up for an awesome weekend. Big guns at the top (Smith, Scheffler, DJ), Rory not tanking his opening round like he has for the last five years (yet as I write this sentence he misses a 3ft par putt on 14), and of course Tiger muthafukkin Woods doing his thing. How. Good.

I'm such a giggly fan of what Tiger has done today, I can't stop reading about it.
Love this from him: “I felt good,” Woods said. “Once the adrenaline kicks in and I get into my own little world, I knew I should be able to handle business.”
14 months out, and being in contention of one of the greatest majors of the year is "handling business"
That's some mental toughness.
Sqqquuuueeeeee

Tiger battling today +3 on the board playing 13, as are many right now, with -4 leading.

@majorrage said in Golf:
The tiger effect is insane .... for what it's worth, I don't think he'll make the cut.
Time is right for Cameron Smith / Scottie Scheffler for me.
Tiger made the cut. Scottie Scheffler leads by 5 after 72 holes and must be the big favourite now.
-
Schwartzel, playing with leader Scheffler has just holed out for 2 on 10 to move to -6, which is typically a tough hole, but he is still 5 back, although Scheffler has a tough up and down ahead of him on 10.
Smith sits on -5 through 12, Lowry-4 through 10 as the only other one right now in touch.
-
for a short time Cam SMith had closed the gap to 3, -7 v -10, but a Smith bogey on 16 and Scheffler birdie on 13 restored the 5 shot gap.
Poor old Kevin Na, 5 putt 6 on 16.
-
Back to 4 with a lucky bounce for Scheffler (-10) setting him up a nice bird on 17, while Schwartzel continues to fall away now back at -2
Scheffler has gone bush off the 18th...cameras didnt pick up the end position
-
hugely technical 2 club drop for Scheffler after his ball was dead, still not a great spot.
-
@taniwharugby Great shot from there!
-
Last pair tomorrow will be Scheffler (-9) Smith (-6) then IM (-4) Lowry & Schwartzel (-2) Tomas and Conners only others under par at -1
-
That second (third) shot by Scheffler was a nice recovery. Good round by Cameron Smith.

Wow Scheffler just chips in for birdie on the 3rd. Both he and Smith had just missed the green with their approaches and balls rolled back to within a foot from each other at the bottom of the hill. Scheffler bang in the hole. Smith likely to bogey so two shot swing
