OK so I'll miss the group stage stuff for the most part, but that'll be fine.

Cheers for all the groups, the app just has a straight list so this is much more detailed. Saturday and Sunday sorted though

Garcia worth a punt at 40/1?

By all means if you want a bit of interest but I don't like this tournament from a punters perspective, it's a lottery in all fairness. Most of these pros can beat each other on any given day, so someone really has to win 6 coinflips in a row to win it outright, for that reason alone I'd go for longer odds players and hope my number is drawn so to speak!

Mcdowell getting a beating, after being 2up.

Day got through in the end, but he didn't look well in doing so.

Match play is good once or twice a year but does anyone else think the group format is a horrible idea. I feel it's much more exciting as a straight knockout.

It is but you can see why they did it... lots of big names used to be able to get eliminated on day 1.. effecting viewership for the following days.


Elsewhere... Rory still can't hit a wedge.

charlieIRL

Have they showed any or Lowry v Kaimer yet at all??

Mantis Toboggan

Some awful stuff from mcllroy, up against it now.

Lowry has moved 1 ahead

Just into the juice off the tee

Minderbinder

Not watching but if shot tracker is right Lowry went for the green in one after going one up and went for a swim. Awful judgment.

Again... Rory has a 134 yard wedge into the 14th just now and misses the green. It's shockingly poor.

He is hitting a lot of dreadful shots. But I think that is the way he plays, good days mixed with bad days. His wedge play is terrible at the moment

I deleted that because there was an error on shot tracker but they corrected it. His wedge play is still shocking though - really hope he can get something sorted before Augusta.

Anyone else think the coverage is terrible?

Always the same with matchplay, show the few featured groups and then you can almost guess the outcome when they show a very long putt or a tap in from someone they haven't shown.

McIlroy lucky he's playing someone playing as poor as himself.

Shane hasn't played well under pressure.
Won't be happy he didn't win nevermind not even get a half.

Almost did that in last year's race to Dubai final series, terrible end to the year with all those points available. Will most likely need a win somewhere. Good chance for a wildcard though unless he has a dreadful year with the likes Poulter, Donald and Westwood looking on a downward spiral.

Olsen dreadful. McIlroy can't believe his luck today.

Olsen really gifted that to McIlroy

Lowry and olesen buckled under pressure. Lowrys putting stance looks all wrong

I must say I like the shot tracker - tracks the balls of both players.

Another disappointing finish for Shane Lowry today - he was 3 up after 9 but only managed to halve the match by winning the 18th.

yipsnomore

Spieth is ridiculous inside 100 yards.

vienne86

And GMac coughed up a lead of 2 up to finish up all square with Paul Casey.....probably deserved as neither of them played well.

Is it knock out today?

No, last of the group matches.

I guess you could call it that, last 16 will be decided.

Lowry who can't progress is already 3 down after 6 to Johnson. I'd say he can't wait to get out of dodge.
