71 Guys Made the Cut At the British Open

One above the minimum. Every golfer in the tourney this weekend starts out within 7 shots of the lead. Every single one.

I think one of the coolest things in sports is the cut at major golf tourneys. Let's take Hunter Mahan -- excellent golfer, shot -1 today, had he made one more birdie, he is within striking range of a major tourney win with two good weekend rounds. Instead -- nope, cut.

J.B. Holmes, excellent golfer, tied for 18th after day one -- has one bad day, cut.

They should apply this rule in every major sport. Baseball -- at the all-star break if you are not within 10 games of the lead in your division -- cut. Football -- if you are below .500 with less than 4 games remaining -- cut. Basketball -- if you are not within 20 at half -- you forfeit.

I like it so much.
