The sideshow that is John Daly roared to close to the top of the leaderboard Thursday with a six-under 66 in the first round of the 2010 British Open. He stepped to the first tee in his psychedelic lavender paisley pants, peach-colored short, sky blue sleeveless sweater, and turquoise cap. As usual, he was a fashion mess. But don’t let the cigarette and the can that he carried around the course...

“There’s just something peaceful about this place. I remember when I came here in ’95, I wasn’t playing good golf. I was playing horrible golf. I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew how much I loved this place.” That is what John Daly had to say after his opening round of 66, currently tied for second place at the British Open. So far, in the early stages...

Phil Mickelson has won one major and finished fourth in another so far this year. He’s played so well that he would have taken over the world’s top spot had he just simply closed with a quadruple bogey last weekend at the Scottish Open. BUT —he didn’t. His quintuple bogey on the 18th hole last Friday meant Lefty missed the cut by one stroke. Now, I’m...

The Open Championship begins this morning at the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland. St. Andrews is one of my favorite venues and The Open is one of my favorite sporting events. I’ve always been drawn to history and tradition, and the Old Course is by far the most recognizable course in Europe. It’s not a long course and scores should be low barring horrible weather. ...

The field is wide open this year at the British Open at St. Andrews. Tiger Woods has won this tournament twice on this golf course, and he figures to contend for number three. However, Tiger has been struggling coming in, and for that reason there are about twenty guys in the field who feel they have a legitimate shot at winning this thing. Not many in this field have had success on this course in...

There are reports that claim that Tiger Woods is the favorite at St. Andrews this weekend. That seems like a bit of a stretch. It’s understood that the man is simply the best golfer of all time. But, he does not deserve to be the favorite just because he is Tiger Woods. He has not been putting or striking the ball off the tee very well at all. And if he can’t control his driver on...

Kathy Bissell When it comes to picking a winner at the British Open, it’s easier to guess who’s got no shot, as the late Rob Rosburg used to say. Colin Montgomerie? No shot. Nick Faldo ? No shot. Peter Senior? No shot. Who will win? Another kettle of fish and chips. Even among the stars, picks are hard to make. If Phil Mickelson were to win a British Open, it should be at The Old Course...

The fusion of the British Open returning to golf’s Graceland and the complete inability to predict this year’s champion have generated an electrifying anticipation throughout the golf world. Why? We have all become skeptics. Will Tiger Woods finally win? If he does capture his 15th major, how long until he beats Jack Nickalus’ record of 18 major championships? Can Phil Mickelson...
