Normally Woods is the dominant force in golf, but at the British Open it is the weather that is looking the dominant force today
The wind factor is making it a little chilly and with rain forecast for the day, it is not something that Craig Parry of Australia is looking forward too, as he is the first to tee off.
Without Wood’s playing it has left things wide open, with everybody feeling that they have once less hurdle to cross. Tiger Wood is recovering from surgery to cure a knee injury.
As Woods is not playing this year, bookmakers have reported an increased turnover. Punters seem to be attracted by 12-1 favorite, Sergio Garcia.
