I'm sure the spread of decent money will be with only 10 or so players apart from Tiger so they should still be in business still come Monday (and of course only pre tournament bets will be refunded).

If Weir holds it together today he could go on and be in the leading group on Sunday PM, and should be beyond Tiger (if not maybe someone on a charge like Mickleson if he gets it together) but I suspect Weir wont hold it together and he'll fall back to the pack, just a hunch.

Backed Todd Hamilton when he won the Open (in running not 750/1 pre tournament I'm affraid) so always have had a soft spot for him and would love to see him do something again (but no doubt I will put on a bet on someone between now and Sunday then I will be wishing ill luck on everyone but him!!!).
