I found that I was less interested in the events of Thursday and Friday without Tiger, but I was still very interested in the business end of the tournament. I hope this helps!

Since tiger emerged on the scene scribes have asked "who is going to challenge Tiger?" I had hoped that the Open Championship would shed some light on this topic................. Doesn't seem like it though.

I get a little tired of predictable outcomes. Not neccessarily Tiger in contention on Sunday, but in no other player stepping up to the challenge. Generally I am much more interested in an event if someone else is leading and Tiger is chasing from behind. There is some question as to the outcome, rather than Tiger leading and pulling away on Sunday.
