Unless he does the old "last day collapse", he looks nailed on for the win, doesn't he?

Scottie would need to shoot over par today in order for others to catch him. I'm getting a little tired of US players winning our Open, a European winner or better still a British player.

Group 1 starts at 8.30 with Scottie & Li teeing off at 14.30.

Schaufelle -10

A lot of low scoring today, but a heavily American leaderboard , as so often. I don't mind American winners if as with these latest 2, they're generally really good players. It's the ones who are largely unremarkable except magically pulling out that one good result (eg Calcavecchia, Leonard, Hamilton, etc, the others)

Here's an idea: get the organisers to ban all foreigners. That should ensure a British or European winner, eh!! How about banning foreigners from Wimbledon?, or the premier league? or any sporting events, to ensure only British or European winners - wouldn't the quality be just great if we excluded the best from other races so that everyone can then delude themselves about how great they are?
