July 19-22.

Can Darren Clarke defend?

Can Tiger contend?

Will Phil shoot three good rounds?

Can Bubba or Webb notch a second major in one year?

How about the youngsters, Rory and Rickie?

Luke Donald is #1 in the world. Might an Englishman win for the first time in 20 years?

Live US television coverage is on ESPN all day until it gets dark in Lancashire (about 3pm Eastern).

That was a pretty fun first round. The weather didn't have much impact.

Some big names at the top of the leaderboard:

Adam Scott (course record) -6

Ernie, Bubba, Tiger, Graeme, Rory, Steve (Stricker) all at -3.

Phil is tied for 99th place at +3 (only the top 70 play on the weekend).

If the weather stays like this I think I'll take a golf vacation (holiday) to Lancashire.

After 2 rounds:

Brandt Snedeker -10
Adam Scott -9
Tiger Woods -6

Be sure to check out Tiger's hole out on 18 from one of those monstrous British Open pot bunkers. Link

Phil Mickelson +11 (missed cut) Embarrassed

What a finish. Adam Scott hit 4 bogies in the last 4 holes to give the tournament to Ernie Els.

Ernie Els -7
Adam Scott -6

Tiger shot +3 today to end in a tie for third with Brandt Snedeker at -3.
