Open Championship: Will Faster Greens Boost Tiger?

Round one is in the books, round two underway at Royal Lytham & St. Anne's, where docile weather has everyone -- except the players and patrons -- a little bummed.

With a few notable exceptions (cough, Lee Westwood, cough), the cream is rising to the top. And here's a note to file away: the greens were double-cut this morning and despite heavy overnight rains, are running faster on the Stimpmeter than Thursday by a fair margin -- 11.2 to 10.5. Tiger Woods is a notoriously poor putter on slower greens, and it showed yesterday. If he duplicates his first round ballstriking, look out.

All for now. Enjoy the Open.
