The BBC's on-course reporter Phil Parkin has just accused Tiger Woods of "playing chess". He wasn't. I think this was meant to be a reference to his relatively risk-averse strategy of taking irons of the tees.
By the way, it's £75 quid admission. Does that seem a bit steep? Or value for money?
edit - I see GM Arkell has made the same point elsewhere.

Re: The Open Golf
They teed off at what, 0630? The last group will go off just after 1600, and play will finish in relative darkness at just after 2100. £75 for 14 hours' entertainment, at the most prestigious golf tournament in the world? Doesn't sound like it's unreasonable to me.Alistair Campbell wrote:By the way, it's £75 quid admission. Does that seem a bit steep? Or value for money?

Re: The Open Golf
It was £75 for the Test Match at Trent Bridge.
Compare that to the cost of ECF Bronze membership ...
