Scottish Open Round 1

PHIL off to a terrible start. Making bogeys from fairways and cant putt. Oh yes so far Rose looking good.

Phil ticked after being 2 over through 4 takes driver out announcers say bad move and he hits fairway. Buckle up folks.

t108 after four holes

+2 through 4

Birdie on the short par 4 5th hole.

+1 through 5 (and all the way up to 87th!)

And Justin Rose is -2, ugh.

Okay a bit of a slow start with PHIL

I am here to root him on!!!

PHIL missed his birdie putt at #6

just missed it--ship has been steadied

Mercy missed putts at 6, 7 and 8 were a bit brutal.

Great tee shots on these holes and good second shots but putts aren't falling yet

Brandel must have been chewed out for his anti -Phil on air rants after the ryder cup because he has been slobbering over him this year.

Birdie on 10! Back to E.

Back to even after another super approach

Could easily be -3 or more today.

Just missed at 12-- three or four putts just shy

lots of good golf from PHIL today

Most of the good scores came from the early groups - anything under par would be good for Phil (especially after starting with the two early bogeys)

Just another missed putt at #13

Birdie at 15!

Phil is now -1 (t51)

Nice putt for bird at #15

Morning wave almost 2 shots better and just said bad weather in morning. Wonderful.

Have to remind myself this is prep for Phil

birdie at 16!

-2 (t33)

Bogey at 17

down to -1

bogie at 17 and back to -1!!!

Putting is bad, unlucky I dont know what you want to call it but he cant post a score. PHIL is the only Butch student without a win this year . Really bugs me.

Another missed putt for PHIL

Still 69 is a solid start

Gotta be frustrating seeing Rose sink putts consistently. Its been a unlucky pairing for Phil on mutiple occassions

Nice, to -2 and T-33....let's keep the rest of the card clean.
