Not a bad problem to have!

We really are spoiled this week with the two tournaments on - the Nedbank and the Chevron. Two small tournaments (field size-wise) that are high on quality and so far, full of great golf.

We deserve it on this of all weeks in fairness - Snow. F*cking. Everywhere!!

EDIT: Oh, and so far, the Irish going very well!

Yeah, I noticed golf channel had Rory listed above McDowell but I think Sky Sports had it the other way round so not sure which one partners Tiger.

Rory and Tiger are paired together according to PGA Tour.com.

Has Rory ever played with Tiger?

Tiger has been know to react to things that were said in public about him:

Although this is a stroke play event it will make interesting viewing regarding McIlroy's comments in the past:

Tiger is creeping into some ominous form... McDowell is having two days like Harrington - great Thursday, struggling Friday! Rory ticking along nicely...

WHIP IT!

How about Bubba with a 280-yrd 4Wood for ALBATROSS?! Awesome stuff...

TheRoomWrecker

some albatross by bubba!! 283 4wood WOW

not to mention caseys hole in one....some golf being played

Be_The_Ball

Rory playing a little erratically, some magical shots some suspect. Taking 4 to get down from 54yds, not the best. I hope he can just ignore Tiger and play his own game.

dvemail

Well Rory cant chip. Thats at least 3 or 4 shots left out there today because of it.

Still, he's not bad for a 21 year old!! Give him time lads

McIlroy has a pathetic short game, equivalent of a single handicapper.
He seems to be a bit of a celebrity golfer, he has won just 2 tournaments and regularly blows up even though he is blessed with the finest ball striking in the game. A bottler if you ask me and it's time to back up your considerable talent sonnie because dying the hair and fannying about on Twitter won't sort out your short game.
Today is at least the 10th tournament that I have seen a major implosion from him.
Compared to Graham McDowell he comes across as petulant & spoilt.

What was Rory at on 18?? Seems to rush his putts alot and not take his time.

Yes but you must remember he is still only 21, lots to learn yet both on and off the course!

Yes but he's wasting his considerable talent, It's a shame he doesn't have the focus that is needed for him to be the best, remember Garcia?
So far his career has been a plethora of implosions.

He's always doing that, he's trying to impress by playing quickly and not thinking, braindead golf.,

markj2009

if this tournament is anything to go by his chipping and pitching appear to be very poor for a top professional. And putting not up to highest level either. What did he take at the 18th today double or triple bogey ?
If he throws away shots like that I can't see him winning majors any time soon.

tang1

Took a triple, took two to get out of a greenside bunker and then three putted from no more than 15 feet.

6 three putts in 3 rounds. Really poor. Turn them into 2 putts and he's bang in contention.

Qwert1

Tiger on track for his first win in a loooong time. what are the chances of him imploding and blowing his 4 shot lead tomorrow?

hard to change you're natural rhythem,give him a break,he will get his putting sorted before the majors next year,he may not win one next yeat but give him time ffs,
you said he's wasting his talent?????????????? he's making a life out of it,earning millions,
we'll see the best of him next year on the euro tour

WHIP IT!

Can only assume people here slating Rory are WUMs... he's number 10 in the world and he's 21!! Ha... he has the world by the b*llocks you f*cking idiots...

Please stop making spectacles of yourselves by saying things like "oh, he missed a putt, it's probably cos of twitter... now he'll only make $250,000 this week instead if $400,000... It makes you look silly... so it does

Your allowed call me a f*cking idiots now for stating an opinion? Thats a ban in any other forum.

Really enjoyed watching McDowell hanging onto Tiger last night. That escape at the par 5 15th (?) where GMAC hooked one 40 yards OOB and still go down in 3 from the tee was some par.

Re: McIlroy he really needs to see someone about his short game. Isn't Mark Roe credited for turning Westwood's green side antics around over the past couple of years? He also coaches Ross Fisher so must have something to offer. Whatever, McIlroy needs someone to take him aside, and fast. That blow up on 18 last night was embarrassing and topped off a succession of missed gettable putts and thinned chips over the previous couple of days. All that said, his long game is a joy to watch and it i all the more frustrating when you see him knock the ball close for an eagle/birdie opportunity only see him walk off with a par or worse!

Brilliant. Get to see how this new developing swing of woods stands up to a bit of final round nerves.

Shouldn't expect much else from a bunch of internet warriors, must be tough at the top of the post count

Anyway, onto a real golfer with bottle, GMac doing excellent stuff, Rory twitter struggling as usual.

It's easier to do it when your 10 off the lead, again he sticks it on 15, sensational iron player but no head for the game.

GMac slightly struggling at the moment, great stuff all the same and it would be so sweet to see him beat the greatest.

Edit - Woods doubles 13 and GMAC birdies it. Our man 2 ahead.

F*ucking Hero! Send that pimp back to his brothel. Awesome stuff.

Poor drive on 14 opens the door back for Woods.

whatawaster

That mcilroy is as good as he is as young as he is (3rd place in three of the last five majors) with a short game that is substandard shows just how far he can go in the game.

LuckyGent88

TIGER is completly human....he is absolutely BRICKING himself where did that shot come out of from GMAC...shocker

durkadurka

Go on gmac! Finish the job, cap an amazing 12 months since this time last year

whatawaster

Gmac will do well to get out of here with a five

bigtimecharlie

Gmac 2 ahead after 13. Keep it up.

LuckyGent88

Great stuff by Mcilroy over back 9......Another week that could have been so much better but hopefully this is finish is a positive sign for 2011

Go Gmac!!!
