Gordon: We're back at the made cut well. It's important to note The Open has a more lenient cut than the U.S. Open, as the top 70 scores and ties will survive to the weekend, while only the top 60 scores and ties advanced at Pinehurst. Woods missed the cut by only two strokes at the U.S. Open, a much better showing than when he missed by eight at the PGA Championship. With 12 amateurs in the field this week and several former champions who are unlikely to contend, this is where my Tiger money goes (again). Bob Harig, SI Golf: His chances are no worse for having fallen at Pinehurst. McIlroy has fallen before and dusted himself off, got up and fought again. He will do that this time. Will he win? Maybe not. But McIlroy has been playing well for the better part of three months. It’s logical that will continue.
