liveanddiedeac Wins the 2017 Open Championship (contest)!

Good news is that I make the cut. Bad news is that I have no one in the top 10.

Jon Rahm
Tommy Fleetwood
Henrik Stenson

Tony Finau
Ernie Els

Great minds think alike:

Fleetwood

Kuchar has to feel great about the fact that's he's back at his hotel at -4. He could be leading by the end of the day.

Not with the way Spieth is playing - just made a 30'er to go -5. He hit all of 5 fairways yesterday and was -5. They still have a bit of drizzle off and on, but the winds have died down significantly, so the rest of this day may not be as bad for scoring as originally thought.
 
What a round by Rory and Zach. Zach shot a 66 in that. What a helluva round.
 
Tough day.
I still have 2 of the leaders, but 3 of my guys missed the cut.
I'm out.
 
Five of mine made the cut. They are a collective 12 over. Oh well, there are two more rounds.
 
This looks like it might be second tourney in s row I finish with 3 players in top 10-15 and miss cut
 
Who the heck is this 150 pound Canadian?

Pretty much rooting for Kucher to get his 1st major, but I don't see him or anyone else stopping Spieth tomorrow. And that'd be fine too. Poulter fortunately sucked today.
 
I'm -6....first time I didn't take any of the Top 3 ranked golfers.

Poulter has so much mouth and so little game (at that level) in big spots anywhere except the Ryder Cup.
 
Sorry, my car broke down on the way back from the beach yesterday so I didn’t get to add up any scores. Walking into work now, should post in the next hour or two.

I'll give people an hour or two to look it over before changing the title and declaring liveanddiedeac the champion.

I declare myself the champion! Seriously I wasn't sure, but thought I had a good chance, was worried though when Poulter didn't do crap on the weekend though.

Congrats. I'm surprisingly happy with my -4 tie for 17th, considering that my top 4 were +8 after the first two rounds.
