Darren Clarke tending the flag,then clapping and slapping Watney on the back appears so wrong to me even if it was for eagle.
If i was playing my club matchplay and i was 4 down after 10 or 11 holes i wouldn't be smiling away,i would be grinding like F... and DC should be no different........ah well he'll, have the consolation of a tasty cheque.

A bit odd alright but it was a hell of a shot by Watney.

Tiger doing some serious bushwhacking, looks like going 1 down.

So much for Bang Sae Moon being a token Asian Tour player, 4&3 over Poulter is a great result.

Great scalp there for Robert Rock, amazing what a win can do for your confidence.

Thank god, save having to listen to Bruce Critchley babble on about him all weekend.

Seems he is not a fan of Bruce!

@IanJamesPoulter Well Bruce Chritchley talks complete bollox most of the time anyway. Sorry sky sports viewers for having to listen to his crap every week.

Keano

Clarke's gone. Shock :pac:

Aidric

Full support for that tweet from Poulter. Critchley is a fawning mess.

Benicetomonty

Bit harsh from Poulter, not endearing himself to Sky which is never a good idea for a European. He has a point though, Critchley makes way too many mistakes these days...time to go.

The Tiger lucky to get through....

Now we will see more of Rory.

Meh.

0 birdies.

You've not missed much.

Fowler on a serious comeback.

Nice to see Sky leading the crusade against spitting.

JerryHandbag

Tiger will have to up his game if he wants to get past Nick Watney

dvemail

What in the name of god did Jimenez say in that interview?

irish bloke

You'd have to fancy the yanks to have a winner here with 34% of the field dominated by them.

Next to them is England and S Africa with just over 9% each.

Not a Paddy in the field:(, thought Lowry would have made it.

bigtimecharlie

Rory now 1 up due to bogies from his opponent.

Ernie maybe worth a punt there???

Called it... If only I put my money where my mouth was:)

I think Keegan Bradley is the man to beat this week, will also probably be Americas top player come Ryder Cup with the way he plays matchplay.

you like your percentages,i'll give you that, but i really don't see how it's really that relevent.
The way the draw works it might favour an international winner with most of the yanks knocking each other out.

Agree, just pointing out over a third of the field are yanks and theoretically they have a 1 in 3 chance of winning it (not taking rankings into perspective or course, as anyone can beat anyone in this format really)

Rorys first birdie of the day.

bigtimecharlie

Rory now 2up.

bigtimecharlie

Another birdie sends Rory 3 up. That's more like it from Rory, great putt.

k.p.h

Great stuff, looking forward to tomorrow already.

Clear and concise if you ask me, the live scoring is handy with all the matches going on ..
