Donald says he couldn't reach the fairway on the 7th today & took driver on par-3 11th. Also took 7 iron for a 119-yard shot on one hole.

Donald on the key this week: 'The guy that scraps his way around & makes pars from off the green, holes long putts & keeps momentum going.'

Westwood should be favourite for this 14/1 is a great price.

Ive gone for Lucas Glover at 350/1 and Schwartzel at 44/1.

[Chazza]

Looking forward to this and some nice opening groups

0909 & 1410 Ernie Els (SA), Rory McIlroy, Rickie Fowler (US)

0920 & 1421 Luke Donald, Ryo Ishikawa (Jpn), Sergio Garcia (Spa)

1410 & 0909 Lee Westwood, Steve Stricker (US), Charl Schwartzel (SA)

1421 & 0920 Martin Kaymer (Ger), Louis Oosthuizen (SA), Phil Mickelson (US)

Pretty tough going so far this morning. Donald's started pretty well though.

Inevitably McIlroy will be accused of being rusty because he didn't play last week in his post match interview unless he picks up a few birdies

[Chazza]

Thomas Bjorn tearing it up, -5

[Shaggy]

He was -6 last time I looked. Shame he's dropped one, I like Bjorn.

Outside of Donald & Westwood, Kuchar is my tip although I've not had a punt.

[Pablo]

Agree with all of those. Jason Day is also in fantastic form, and I fancy Stricker to go well.

Also have a feeling Justin Rose might be up there this week.

Sergio at -2

Did I just see Dustin Johnson hit a hole in one?

You did.

He's just gone:

Birdie

Hole-in-one
Birdie

He was +4 playing the 14th now he's -1 playing the 18th

Incredible!

Still think a 9-darter is a better achievement, but that's a different chat!

Just goes to show if you can get a decent run of consecutive holes together, you can move up the scoreboard.

[Pablo]

Just dropped a shot on the 18th though, finished level par

Tom Watson is wearing the greatest jumper I've ever seen

Looks like Westwood, Donald, Harrington and Poulter are all going to miss the cut

Edit and Mcdowall, shot a 77 today

[Liverpool]

.Outside of Donald & Westwood, Kuchar is my tip although I've not had a punt.

Are these tips to miss the cut?
