This coverage is horrific! Have they not got the ability to shoot 3 different courses or what? You have Spieth, DJ, Bubba, Day all playing and I have not seen a shot from them, instead they're showing JJ Henry, Colt Knost, Ken Duke and some bloody celeb named Boomer, terrible.

Edit I also paid the sub for the earlier coverage on the PGA Site and they were featuring Mahan and Van Pelt! Shyte!

He should be in the boards society with a swing like that.

It's annoying but it's the same every year. Coverage of the real golfers gets better come Saturday and Sunday.

Only Sunday, I'm sure Speith will be featured Saturday surely.

So Paul Dunne finishes on -4, Harrington on -3, having sneaked a birdie on the last, and Shane Lowry on level par.....don't know what happened, but he had a 6 on the par 5 6th.

The 3 irish lads are being shown on the feature groups on the red button on sky if you have it.

Tis why I miss a full sky package.

Dunne 2 over after 4 though, may drop another on 5.

And has indeed dropped another. Shane is even for the day and Padraig is 1 under.

Nice bit of coverage, with no ad breaks! But ye gods, one of the commentators keeps talking about Padraig's daughter....

Mushy

So he birdied the 6th, but gave it up on the 8th. Just hope he makes the weekend

Assuming the cut is after round 3?

Aul lad has the golf on.

I'm not a huge fan of the sport but thus far the coverage of this particular competition has been:

"There's Kenny G"

"The view. Look at the view"

"Andy Garcia there. Magnificent beard"

"Look at how great that view is"

"Kenny G again."

"Beautiful view"

"Andy Garcia. Great actor"

"Amazing view"

American TV and a pro-am, always a disaster.

This pro am thing is so slow! I went out when Harrington and Lowry had played five holes, drove 30 minutes to the RDS, saw an entire rugby match, did the return journey, and they're only on hole 17!!!!! Jeez!

HighLine

Never heard of Sung Kang but what a round... -11!

Speak Now

Bad finish by Harrington to take 6 considering where he was in 2.

The amateurs playing with them must get a good boost from watching Shane and Padraig on the greens.

pebble beach heaven on earth:)

Is there a cut after round 2 or round 3?

Round 3, when they have all played each of the courses.

Mushy

Dunne and Lowry +1 after 6/5 holes respectively. Not looking good to make tomorrow

vienne86

Dunne's misery continuing from yesterday - he's 2 over. Lowry is back to even par, but will need to make a few birdies if he is to make the cut.

FixdePitchmark

Ok can't watch this **** anymore.

Mushy

Harrington in a half decent position, Lowry may sneak into the final day too.

It's fairly dire alright. Tomorrow will be better. Such a shame that there isn't a regular tour event at Pebble Beach that does involve watching hacks.

vienne86

Harrington finishes with a birdie. Nice round of -4 has him tied 13th right now. Lowry shot -1, so should just sneak in to the final round.

Yes good stuff - looks like he will be just inside top 20 at end of day.

Minderbinder

Harrington appears to have picked up another shot in the clubhouse. Now at -9?

Nailed getting the first round in at the 19th I'd say!
