    Nice to see Rory has bounced back well. He's leading the Malaysian Open heading into the final day. Hope he can hold it together. Tough watching the self destruction of last weekend.

    SANDWICH, England -- The Royal St. George's course will be 100 yards longer for this year's British Open, with par being reduced from 71 to 70.

    Organizers say the famous fourth hole -- with a huge bunker staring players in the face as they tee off -- is being changed from a 497-yard par 5 to a 495-yard par 4.

    The third hole will be increased by 30 yards to 240 yards, while the long seventh goes from 532 to 564 yards and the ninth from 388 to 412 yards. In the main alteration on the back nine, the 15th will be stretched from 475 yards to a 496-yard par 4.

    Eight years ago, American winner Ben Curtis was the only player to break par at the course, and only by one shot. The previous time, in 1983, Greg Norman set a championship record of 13-under 267.

    In another change, the fairway on the first hole has been widened by about 12 yards. In 2003, Tiger Woods lost a ball with his first shot at Royal St. George's and took a triple-bogey 7.

    Less than 30 percent of all drives finished on the fairway in 2003.

    "Tiger's lost ball was not an influence -- it was the overall statistic of 27-28 percent," Royal & Ancient Club chief executive Peter Dawson said.

    Who's ready for a +2 winner in England this June? Yeah, we got the Players Championship coming up next month, but focus is already being directed to Royal St. George's.

    I just read that. If the wind and rain are around like they usually are it's going to be brutal.

    Gotta love those 240yd par-3s! I'd probably be hitting 3wood and still coming up short. Oh, you made the green? That's great. Now it's only an 87 foot putt to the hole! Love that Open Championship!

    Links courses are so difficult to begin with. Miss the fairway- game over. Hopefully you will even find the ball. But you do get great roll when you hit them- fairways are rock hard. The whole game is different on a links course. Pebble Beach isn't even a true links course.

    My mistake norm. I'm an idiot. June is our Open, July is their Open. Congressional will be fun too. My early prediction? AKim

    We gotta get some sort of pool going on here for the two Opens. How bout this? We each offer up a logo ball from our home course and whoever wins gets all the balls. That might be fun right?

    if you guys are interested ... there's a guy that runs a series of pools ... golf being one of them and he'll regularly get over 350 entries ... first place is like $4,000 ... portion of the money going to charity ... he accepts people from all over as he used to work in banking ... i could send you his email and you guys are on your own to enter and pay him ...

    it's a pretty cool pool in that you pick from a list based on various categories (pts awarded based on placing) ... then you have to pick from the same list who won't make the cut ...

    Wow. He's an idiot. There's no place in the game for that kind of stuff unless you're John Daly.
