The Open: KJ, sure, but The Shark and Van de Velde?
By Chad Conine

Coming into this week, Sergio Garcia was supposedly the favorite to win The Open, and perhaps he will.
However, currently, there are a couple of names I’m not surprised to see ahead of Sergio on the leader board.
KJ Choi is a great golfer and a particularly savvy links player. The only thing that surprises me about seeing him atop the leader board with a second-round 67 and a 36-hole score of 1-under, is that KJ hasn’t had his best year up to this point.
And of course, as mentioned yesterday, Rocco continues to play well. It doesn’t surprise me because Rocco almost took down Tiger on a links course last month.
As for the names that do surprise me: Greg Norman at par in second place. The other name, tied for 16th at 4-over, is Jean Van de Velde. I first noticed yesterday afternoon that he had turned in a decent opening round. Does anyone else sense a train wreck coming on?
