'94 I'm sure I read.

I think Kaymer to win that 1st day 3 ball is a snip at 6/4.

blackwaterfish

exactly..................duh
mostly because cicumstances didn't suit,what about in the majors and the wgc events

blackwaterfish

Easy now... lets not all get bent out of shape.

tell you what, you come up with a topic worth getting in a huff about and i'll happily chime in. But this isnt it good buddy.

Didnt Woods, Mickleson and Adam Scott play together for the first two round of the US Open or PGA back when they were ranked 1,2,3 in the world?

Anyways fancy McIlroy to be in and around the top 5 again. Garcia is due a good four days also.

Screaminmidget

Fantastic!! im off tomorrow so ill get to watch it all

me too,went up to my local bookies,5/1 ffs what a joke,i know i can get a bit better but i aint travelling,should be at least 8/1

anyway i did Chris Wood @90/1

dvemail

Just after checking Paddy Power there, dont know about ye but thats the first time in a very long time ive seen Tiger Woods as 3rd favourite for an event.
Shows how much his stock has fallen and Kaymers has risen.

PAULWATSON

Expect The Prince to have a run this week, he's been putting a few rounds together lately.

Wee Mac and Woody to battle it out on the back nine, Sunday.

Do you have a problem with using peoples proper names, or are you an 8 year old?

It could be his dads account!

Aidric

Haha, some good quality banter on the forum, standards haven't slipped.

I haven't gotten excited about the season yet even though it's been going a while, haven't even been paying that close attention tbh.

I'm having a few quid e/w on Noren this week.

Brighten up, mave.

LuckyGent88

Have McIlroy to win, Jimenez e/w @ 40/1, Howell e/w @ 100/1 and Willett @ 125/1.

Surely i can make a few bob out of one of them at least!!!!!

Hope Westwood and Kaymer give Tiger a hammering

great to see david howell return to some kind of form.

WHIP IT!

Jesus had no idea he'd fallen so far. not that long ago he was winning at the KClub - admittedly by default almost after Bjorn 'did a Bjorn' and put three in the water on 17.

Have to admit I was waiting for Bjorn to do "another Bjorn" last Sunday on the back 9, he was solid though! Ferrie has gone to the dogs, he must be practicing with Nick Dougherty

...and Ollie "wonderkid" Fisher:D:D:D...terrible to see how far this kid has fallen lately. I see Stenson isn't doing great this season either.

dvemail

Nice to see Garcia back near the top of the leaderboard, easy to forget he got to world no.2 only a few years back.

WHIP IT!

Jesus Tiger, just when it looked like we might see a little run from him - he drops a double like that... his swing is not his own right now lads, no matter what he tries to tell us in his post-round interview... he looks about as far away from winning a tournament as can possibly be right now... very sad to watch.

blackwaterfish

yep he looks lost. time to call Butch and pull out the notes from 2000.

sad? ... meh.

saying that tho... he could still be in the mix come sunday!

WHIP IT!

Amen, Brother... maybe him and Harrington could share a cab and he could drop Padraig off in 2008 on the way!

in fairness padraigs so insane these days he probably already looked into the possiblility of timetravel sitting in his little shed over xmas

WHIP IT!

Woods just hit the most beautiful drive 308 yards into a slight wind down the 16th fairway with the sweetest, smoothest swing you'd ever see... why on earth he so often thinks it necessary to swing so much harder than that with the same club is beyond me. He's outdrove Westwood by 20yds and Kaymer by 10 - no slouches, either of them.

AGC

Nice eagle to finish for Tiger. A scrppy day doesn't look to bad now

McIlroy leading, Willett on 4 under and my other 2 boys are 1 under and level. Not a bad days work from them. Better keep it up.

Tiger showed some glimpses of what he can do especially with that super eagle at the last but there were too many awful shots from him to make me think he can win this week.

Pity I'm not a gambling man.

Just saw a few highlights from the morning players there. I really could watch McIlroy swing a golf club all day. Mesmerising.

madds

+1. I could watch this all day.

blackwaterfish

wowzers... tiger decided he wanted to kick some prissy european ass this morning.

-6 for today heading for 17th... no bogeys.

somebody got laid last night!

bucks777

great round by tiger today, good to see him near the top of the leaderboard, lets hope he can stay in contention this weekend

Yeah, it's a pity you can't call the players by their bloody names as well.

It's just very difficult to contend with when you're an 8 year old, confusion with imaginary friends names, toy story characters etc. He's at school now so it's all good until about 3.00pm.
