ST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND - JULY 16: Tiger Woods of the USA hits his tee shot on the 18th hole during the second round of the 139th Open Championship on the Old Course, St Andrews on July 16, 2010 in St Andrews, Scotland. (Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images) Andrew Redington/Getty Images
Starting Saturday, the Open will start in earnest, as the cut is made, and everyone knows who the leader is.
Now, it's to the advantage of the earlier players to get around the course before the wind starts howling.
This factor alone should bring Louis Oosthuizen back to the field on Saturday, and caught by Sunday.
I would expect Oosthuizen to card around even on Saturday if he is lucky. Plus three might be a little closer to reality.
This is not the winner of the 2010 British Open. Not even close.
Now in second place at minus seven, is a wind player of the highest caliber in Mark Cakcavecchia, who should hang around right at even par, and stay right in the hunt.
Calcavecchia is also not your British Open Winner.
Somehow, Paul Csaey managed to survive some bad holes to card a minus six for two days, along with Lee Westwood, and Stephen Tiley, both at six under also.
These are not your British Open Winners, although Westwood could be second overall, if things happen like I have foreseen in my dream.
Uh oh, the cat's out of the bag. I am a golf medium and I have dreams about tournaments, It was a wild dream last week as Stricker came through as I saw him clearly winning the John Deere Classic.
Let us look at the list of names at minus five that will not win the British Open—Tom Lehman, Ricky Barnes, Peter Hanson, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Graeme McDowell, Retief Goosen, Sean O'Hair, Jin Jeong, and Alejandro Canizeras.
None of these players will win the British Open, although Retief Goosen gets third.
At four under par are Ignacio Garrido, [again huh?],Robert Karlson, Toru Tanaguchi,[yeah, right], Martin Kaymer, Nick Watney, and Darren Clarke.
None of these players have a chance to win. Oosthizen gets a fourth place on Sunday after getting back into the mix a little with two timely birdies.
No one at minus three or under can win this tournament.
This brings us to the focal point of the dream, Saturdays trip around St. Andrews with one Eldrick "Tiger" Woods.
Tiger will card a three under par for the tournament on Saturday and be two shots behind going into Sundays round.
He plays with Oosthuizen on Sunday in the final group. End of story.
