Got up early this morning and watched a bit of the Open Championship. Couple of cool things and observations:
They had a British guy (Matthew Jordan?) who's a member at the club hosting the tournament open the tournament and tee off first. Finished well at -2 and said he's won the club championship 3X as an amateur. An amateur from S Africa is leading @ -4 as of the 16th hole... pretty cool. Doesn't seem to matter how they are playing at the moment, but Jordan Speith and Shane Lowry always seem to play well and relish links style golf, shaping shots and factoring for the wind.
