The first round of the British Open has proved to be an exciting one at Royal St. Georges in Sandwich, Scotland. Thomas Bjorn, a reserve, is currently leading at 5 under par. I was getting so sick of hearing the Rory vs Luke debate all week - it was so over done on the Golf Channel. I wish the analysts would just commit to someone already, I liken it to weathermen predicting the weather. I am very excited for Bjorn, because of his previous collapse in 2003 where he blew a 3 shot lead with 4 holes to play, ultimately losing to Ben Curtis. It occurred on the par 3 - 16 where he took 3 shots to get out of the bunker resulting in a double bogey. Bjorn had a small victory on the 16^th today with a birdie, but I have to wonder if he was thinking about his dreaded finish while standing on the tee.  Hole-16 provided even more excitement with Dustin Johnson’s HOLE IN ONE and his finish. He was +4 through 13 holes, finishing birdie, birdie, eagle, birdie, bogey to finish at even par - so exciting to watch! Other notable reserves include Kyle Stanley (currently -2) who finished second at the John Deere last week allowing him an entry and Rickie Barnes (currently -2) who got in due to a freak scooter accident injuring Nicolas Colsaerts. I know that it is VERY VERY early in the tournament, there is still a lot of golf to be played and I am loving all of the coverage on TSN, especially since I started watching at 6 in the AM. We are always pulling for Bubba in any tournament, but it’s fun to see some of the underdogs throw up some red numbers!
