There are 206 bunkers at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, where the lush rough can be borderline "unplayable," according to Tiger Woods, and the weather is expected to be horrible (Wednesday), followed by "sunny spells" (Thursday-Saturday) and "chance of rain" (Sunday). Just about anyone in the 156-man field who has a hot and/or lucky week can win the 141st British Open, as evidenced by the 15 different winners in the last 15 majors.
Other than that, the week is entirely predictable.
All of which is to say I have a new appreciation for Woods, or I should say the old Woods, the guy who surgically removed the randomness from golf, the guy who was about as random as gravity or the 1919 World Series.
