Mcilroy +2 through 5. That driver clearly working wonders.

I'm not sure he's hit it yet and if so only the once I think.

He used it on the 1st according to The Guardian liveblog.

Hopefully that birdie might get things going for Mcilroy

Hopefully indeed although it wont stop the told you so brigade in this thread jumping on everything he does wrong.

The two Johnsons are doing very well!

A.Partridge

Had a look at Padraig's brief interview there.

He didn't appear to be his usual upbeat self.

I wonder is he feeling a touch of nerves or is he very low on confidence?

SuprSi

Lowry with 3 bogeys in a row on 14/15 & 16, now 3 over.

Rory gets yet another bogey, back to +2 again and odds on to miss the cut at this stage IMO.

Reminds me of Stricker, an absolute beast on the greens.

Front 9 seems to be where you make your score, although if Zach goes well on the back 9 the famous 62 could be on.

The Premier Man

ah paudraig,do u always have to be messing with something? tennis ball strapped to the foot,im sure there is a point to it but is it necessary to do it just over half an hour before you tee off in a major

oh this is shocking to watch now,1 cut coming up!!!

Rory will miss the cut. That's pretty much the end of his tournament.

OilBeefHooked2

2 shocking chips and that's the end of that for wee Mac.

stooge

seriously, he needs to get him a different sports pyschologist. His mental approach and overall demeanour are not befitting one of the best players in the world. Doesnt matter how much natural talent you have, if your head is not right you are nto going to have a chance.

Rickie Fowler was my pick yesterday, but if ZJohnson keeps this up he will be hard to catch.

Nuri Sahin

Just following a BBC coverage from here in the US. Surprised Curtis Strange and Mark James forgot all about Shinnecock Hills in New York, terrific links course layout.

Great shot from Rory there.

What made it even better was Maureen saying she can't see him getting it within 30yds of the green. Fair enough just stick it to 10ft.
Clown!!

GreeBo

lads let's not let this thread descend into a commentator bashing thread please.
if you have a problem with them either start a new thread or just keep it to yourself.
this thread is for golf talk only.

Just up and watching the catch up on US TV, Rory is pulling a lot of his putts, surely that's identifiable and fixable at his level, been doing it a lot this year.

kiers47

Some shot in from Freddie there on 17

The Premier Man

Yup, he was a mile away from the whole and putted a mile past the hole into a bunker.
