Well all the guys I have backed have been taken but maybe Jose Maria Olazabal can lead the first round but he’s only just back from yet another injury break so 4 rounds may be beyond him. ---

I’ll take Gary Player, just so that if hell freezes over and he wins, I can say I knew it all along. (I wanted Weir, then Ames. There should be more Canadians!) ---

They should be teeing off right about now, so we’ll figure this contest closed. I’ll post a complete list of entrants later on, as well as standings at the end of each round. ---

Well, damn! Tim Clark handled Amen Corner beautifully, then came out and posted _ **five consecutive bogeys!!** _ Now I doubt if he’ll even make the cut! :smack: ---

You know Rose was +2 when I saw the scoreboard yesterday. I thought I was way out of it. Now that he’s the leader I know I’m out of it. ---

[QUOTE=Dinsdale] Anyone know how many players make the cut? [/QUOTE] I think any player within 10 stokes of the lead makes it. One player that wont make the cut is Gary. Last year Retief was right on the cut line at the end of fridays play and actually held the lead fer a bit on Sunday,IIRC.
