Couldn't find a golf thread ( apart from the Ryder Cup one) so thought I would start one
Although the US Open is somewhat overshadowed by the World Cup, we have a European with a healthy lead
Martin Kaymer is 5 shots ahead at the moment

Great effort from Kaymer so far
Like martin Kaymer but also backed ricky fowler at the start of the week at 70/1
That seems a helluvver price for someone who is 5 shots clear
He's still 4/11 at Hills (1/5 everywhere else I've looked)
Guess they must be trying to balance their books
Same here. I hope Fowler get's a good start so I can lay him then start supporting Kaymer. :cool:
Yes it was and to think barely a month ago it was looking doubtful if he would be in the Ryder cup team
Campbell won the US Open the last time it was played at Pinehurst No.2.
Terrific performance but it seems to have been swamped by the World Cup
Fantastic achievement coming back as he has done this season after a indifferent few years of failed swing changes.
Absolute nail on for the Ryder Cup now.
Good news for Northern Ireland but what happens to The Open Championship if Scotland were to gain independence ? Could a Scottish Open (at St Andrews, Muirfield etc ) become more important than The Open ? ;-)
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club is Scottish. It runs golf (outside the US) and organises the Open. It is already the premier golf tournament in Scotland.
The Scottish Open is a European Tour event held as a qualifier for the Open. It isn't going to be more important than the Open
The real question would be whether Royal Liverpool might be the last English club to host the Open and whether there may be a need to revive the English Open (currently defunct)
Makes sense as he wouldn't be guaranteed a spot in the GB squad.
Strictly speaking, "The Open Championship" has no geographical identifier and as such I don't see independence being an obstacle to it being held in a different country. In everything I read, nothing except tradition identifies it as being a strictly British tournament.
It's too much to expct 2 scores of 65 to 68 immediatrly on return after back injury and 12 weeks out.
Woods will probably never return to the consistentvspectacular level he once did but he is not exactly suddenly sn ordinary PGA Tour journeyman level now
