Bogey free 67 would sit a lot nicer in a normal stroke play format. In this format you rather have a 67 with 3 bogeys and 7 birdies… you get three more points out of it. Is what it is. None of this was televised… you would like to see guys take some aggressive lines they wouldn’t normally and prob make bogey here or there. But sometimes that’s just the way it goes. In general you want active scorecards ( as long as you can avoid doubles).

Its an interesting format for sure.

Looks like both of us are live after day 1.

Far as the open goes we will know where certain players stand tomorrow. The worst the wind if forecasted to be is tomorrow afternoon. The late/early players might catch a break. english, Hatton, Rose and a few others may be able to score before the weather turns. If the weather holds Scottie Fitz Rai Rham and a long list will have a better shot at it.

Everyone +1 or better still has a reasonable chance, and thats 69 runners!

Great scoring this morning, leaderboard is great.

Rory and Sheffler haven’t been hitting fairways at all yet

I held my fire this week and missed the prices on the players I wanted which included Matt Fitz at 35/1 and Christiaan B-hout at 175/1

Ended up backing them both there anyway at much shorter odds as well as Viktor Hovland who’s having himself a morning.

Rory’s not making the most of the scoring anyway, bad morning for him.

Fleetwood also 3 under through 3
