Can the greatest Links player in the history of golf hold on? Who could be the spoiler? My gut instincts tell me Jim Furyk or Stewart Cink could destroy the hopes of every Senior golfer in the land.Watson tees off at 9:20 AM–let’s hope at 1:30 we are watching him walk up 18 victorious.
59 year old Tom Watson carded a 5 under par 65 to lead the Open Championship for most of the day but was eventually overtaken by Miquel Jiminez who shot 64. Watson won the tournament in Turnberry in 1977. Tiger missed fairway after fairway in pristine Scottish conditions and shot 71. Pat Coyner was on Terp Talk last night and predicted victory for Lee Westwood while I went with Jim Furyk.
It’s way too easy to pick Tiger so here goes my uneducated opinion about the US Open:
Winner: Sergio—the quick checks are gone–his time is now—played great last time Open was in Bethpage
2nd : Tiger—-picking against Eldred has no future —-check out his putting
3rd Retief Goosen 4Th Jim Furyk 5th Rocco Mediate 6th: Ian Poulter 7th: Vijay Singh 8th:Padraig Harrington

Two incredible birdies on 16 and 17 catapulted Tiger back into the Winners Circle of the Memorial. When Tiger finds the fairways as he did on Sunday he is virtually unstoppable. On Thursday June 18 Terp Talk will have as guest cohost Pat Coyner, Woodholme pro to discuss both University of Maryland Golf and the US Open which begins that day.
