British Open

While sitting in my air conditioned home yesterday to avoid the sweltering 97 degree outside, watching the cool windy British Open in Scotland is joyful from both a golfer standpoint and temperature standpoint.  Even if I couldn't get to Scotland in time to watch the British Open, I'm ready to go for the cool weather.

Tiger continues to struggle, Phil is out of the race and a young man Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa enters the final round of the British Open at St. Andrews with his first major title in sight. At 15 under par, Oosthuizen also can match Tiger Woods' record of 19 under set in 2000.

Paul Casey of England is Oosthuizen's closest pursuer, at 11 under par, with Westwood, Stenson and Kaymer not far behind.  Are we seeing the beginning of new leaders on top for golf's major events?  Seeing new leaders and winners on top I believe is good for the game.  Tiger is great to watch and the fans love Phil, but they should not always be the leaders and winners.

Well back to the TV to catch up with what is going on and imagine the cool breezes of Scotland as the temperature outside begins to exceed 94.  I certainly do love my Direct TV International View which is commercial free and provides great coverage.
