Hopefully Bubba doesn’t win another Major ever again...an utterly reprehensible character.

Having seen a piece during this week about him at his hometown I’d disagree.

He is a blubbering mess but seems a decent bloke to me.

He comes across as totally obnoxious in my view...a typical gun-touting redneck who spends his time spoofing about God. Interestingly his fellow pros voted him the man they’d be least likely to assist if he was being beaten up in the parking lot.

The data that's is being collected and measured is interesting, but that aside, he is a bit happy gilmore. It feels like if there was a parking lot fight, bubba might be the instigator

Love his or loathe him he is an outstanding player. His shot making skills are second to none. The tour could do with a few more temperamental artists like Bubba.

I agree about shouting fore, most of them could do with a refresher in that.

I'd imagine the same people who dislike Bubba for being "obnoxious" are the same who dislike Spieth for being fairly vapid off course, and criticise countless other stars for their respective shortcomings - Us ordinary folk generally look for a flaw in famous people and focus on that instead of the obvious good.

Bubba seems like the type of guy I would avoid spending a lot of time with, but as a golf fan he is an interesting character to have on tour. And above all else a fantastic golfer.

No, Speith seems like a gent. Bubba seems utterly obnoxious. It is possible to think the latter without having an issue with lots of other golfers.

Phil going fantastic - 4 birds in 5.

Has just all his own short game.

Amazing how far back in stance ball is. Forgot about no bones on bag.

3 Irish in the top 10! 4 in the top 26! Not often we see that.

I'll try to enjoy it before the enevitable collapse.

Its very tightly bunched so I wouldn't get too excited just yet. Two shot difference between 26th and 72nd.

But they are all at the right end of things.

Dunne top of the leader board now 1 shot clear. Great to see, hopefully he can keep it up.

Mushy

Some lads coming out fast in 2nd round, hopefully he can do the same later

...When was the last time there were 4 Irish guys in the top 15 of a PGA tournament... we are 2nd highest represented behind USA ha...

Bit of a farce that Sky are showing the LPGA event until 9pm. I know it's their major but.......

Unusual to not even have feature groups on the red button

Sky get their feed from the US channels and the LPGA major is live at the minute so Sky simply have to wait, been watching it all evening, some great golf on a great course in lovely blue skies, Korda has some swing

kiers47

Jesus if Spieth could even get the putting going a little bit he'd be certainly leading this. 127th in strokes gained putting and only 4 off the lead.

...Paul Dunne has just taken himself out of contention on the par 5 8th...Water followed by Water 😓...

I'd love to see him with his playoff now... to be 51st by such a short margin..to be +1 after 1st round... it'll be unbelievable to see him win it!!!..
