What a great looking leaderboard heading into the weekend’s play in the British Open - Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Chris DiMarco, Retief Goosen, and Adam Scott appearing in the top 5 positions. Woods has been dominant when he takes a lead into the weekend, but Els has all of sudden found some of his old form and looks very good. If DiMarco, Goosen, and Scott are going to challenge on Sunday, they need to have good rounds tomorrow. Scott in particular needs to cut the bogeys out of his rounds so he can make a serious challenge to Tiger and Ernie, who don’t look like slowing down. If Scott can shoot a 65 or 66 tomorrow, he could be in contention come Sunday.

On a side not, Colin Montgomerie didn’t make the cut after his second round meltdown. If you recall, I predicted this in my previous golf post. The only consistent factor in Monty’s game is his mental weakness; it doesn’t look like he has recovered from his final hole collapse at the US Open, where he double-bogeyed from the fairway - costing himself the championship.
