The 2012 British Open is underway as you read this early morning post. Tiger Woods is playing with Sergio, and Justin Rose. The group tee’d off about 45 minutes ago… Lefty is playing with world #1 Luke Donald and Geoff Ogilvy. They are set to tee off at 9:43 am this morning.

It should be an interesting weekend, and the place all the action is going down is rather special as well. The last time the British Open was played at Royal Lytham was in 2001 when David Duval took home the championship…
