Poulter/Fisher

Was reading up a bit on the tournament, there is no cut which is unusual but only a field of 81 which explains that i suppose.

The 16th hole is 677 yards long!! Some monster....

Edouardo Molinair at 70/1 worth a shot for a place I reckon.

He has been in the top 5 once (when Tiger wasnt playing) in the last 9 years, best finish 4th!!!

JerryHandbag

Lumping money on Harrington, back in form. Provided he can keep the triple-bogey monster at bay :pac:

Don't think Tiger was would have stopped him finishing top 5

Actually came 2nd in the very first and top 10 the first 4 years.
Seems to have lost interest in this since he started winning majors though :pac: as have you said he has a very poor recent record.

Maybe the number 1 spot up for grabs will motivate him

P.S I'm sure Conno was just fishing with "he loves this comp and course" :rolleyes:

aster99

I went with

McIlroy e/w @ 22/1

Dustin johnston e/w @ 45/1

Bubba Watson e/w @ 125/1

Johnny_Fontane

Forgive me lads, but are my eyes deceiving me?

Why is no-one backing tiger woods? seriously like, he's won here seven times - he didnt exactly play badly at the british open (he got the very worst of the conditions on the friday).

I think at 9/2 he's unreal value - hence he's my bet.......

blackwaterfish

i agree re. woods.... esp. if he brings anything near his putting A-game.

His odds are short i presume.

Nuri Sahin

Bets for the week.

Cuz Bubba gonna win...

BiffoGooner

Rory getting it going, 3 birdies in the last few holes.-2 now, tied 4th.

aster99

Backed Bubba Watson at 125/1 he's now 16/1

Trying his best for me!!

Phrio

anyone got a good stream of the golf by chance?

ant043

2 over through 2 for Tiger. It ain't looking good unfortunately.

aster99

The way Tiger is going his days at number 1 might be running out, especially with Mickelson at -4

staker

He hit the the camera tower just there:eek:

Great finish from G Mac

JerryHandbag

Woods all over the shop.....he cut a desolate figure, his days at number 1 may well be numbered. Cmon Philly!!

The_Kew_Tour

Tiger plays like me at moment. No idea where the ball is going.:p

I meant Chris woods, CHRIS WOODS

FortuneChip

Yeah, eh, I'm glad I didn't back Tiger @ 9/2...

Now, time to chase those losses

DH2K9

Eduardo Molinari with Colin Byrne on the bag is a real dark horse.

the CB factor will hardly make that much difference?

A decent caddy who had a bitter swipe at his previous employer in public isn't going to make Eduardo a better putter.

true,i still think Fran Moli is worse again,especially at the short one's,with CB on the bag there'd be no chance of doing a Tiger and banging anything that moves,CB would have his notepad out for his next book

plonk

Any1 got a stream on this the vettle one isn't up.

blackwaterfish

yay!... shottracker is up and running.

following harrington & g-mac... a rare treat.

padraig needs a cheesey acronym like g-mac.

how about.....Parrington?

Paddington?

P-Ton?

P-Hack?

So G-Mac and P-Hack on the 2nd tee

slow day here in d'office.

blackwaterfish

i wonder does caroline get frustrated with p-hacks endless pursuit of technichal perfection in other walks of life aside from golf

Squeaksoutloud

Yeah the shot tracker is great because you can the follow the two lads at the one time!

oh oh Paddys drive on the first is down as landed at 'unknown'! Doesnt look too good on the graphic either!

Whyner

At least Paddy got his double out of the way now

Nuri Sahin

TW at the end of round 2, now +6 !

75th out of 81.

Whistling Straits next week is going to be some carnage(even worse then this week) if he continues playing like this.

From the betting perspective, Overton and Van Pelt are doing well for me. Fran mid-table though.

PhilipMarlowe

Garcia -3 thru 4 holes today, t13
This too is often how I play 471 yard par 4's... *cough*

13th Hole
Par 4
471 yards
1. 270yds to Right Fairway, 203yds to hole
2. 204yds to Green, 4ft 3in to hole

maybe Alex Noren without CB on the bag might be a bigger danger;)

staker

Rory playing some stuff alongside Mickelson atm

LittleLiam

Vijay's putting stroke is honking! Look away now kids.

damoz

anyone know of a stream. cant find one.

Jimdagym

Mickelson keeps finding fairways like this and he will be a serious contender next week.

SSK

Westwood has pulled out according to the BBC website and out of the PGA next week as well. Sounds like a flare up of the calf injury.

Could have Monty worried ahead of the Ryder Cup as well
