    Is that the Radio 5 Live coverage? Can't seem to get it to work. Keeps saying 'stream is unavailable' Is it Geo blocked?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_five_live

    If you own a analogue radio you will pick up live coverage on 909 or 693 MW
    :rolleyes:

    Conditions seem to be bit less easy now, but scoring still good.

    Interesting to see how the course is playing:

    http://www.theopen.com/HoleStatistics#!/overall

    You need to make your score on the first 10 holes - it gets a lot harder after that. The road hole playing very difficult today , although the stats have probably been skewed by Lowry! In fairness, nobody has birdied 17 today.

    I backed him last night. Don't see the market there now though for some reason

    he can still be backed to win outright though at ridiculous odds!

    9 amateurs and none of them over par!


    Calcavecchia beat Lowry's 8 on 17, he had a 9.

    Three questions:

    1. What happened to Lowry on 17? A quadruple!!

    2. Is Zach Johnson auditioning for the reboot of Robocop?

    3. Why the eff isn't the BBC showing Padraig? He's -1

    1. First drive into the hotel (OB) - played second ball safely down the left and took 6.


    2. Robocop wouldn't have jumped like he did last week in the John Deere pacman.gif


    3. Tied 57th I guess.

    Yes the 8th....only 11 greens at St. Andrews.

    1st/9th/17th and 18th have there own.

    Others share like this.....2/16 - 3/15 etc always adding to 18.

    But why is it there? I presume its just a flag and not a second hole?

    What's the rule if your ball goes into the incorrect hole on one of the shared greens?

    Considered GUR.


    Have to say - course looks not much from overhead.

    Aliss was making fun of Weisberger's headgear a while ago. Spot on - he looks ridiculous.

    For me I can't wait for sky to take over, this coverage belongs in the 80's

    I did love it for many many years and it always reminds me of summer days with my dad but no longer does it for me anymore.

    I like Justin Rose but after smacking two fans with golf balls in recent weeks he tees off at the 13th, whacks it at crowd again and still doesn't shout fore. Just holds his hand out to signal the direction. I know that's supposed to alert marshals or whatever but Christ just shout fore. It's not that difficult.

    I've got to say that I am enjoying the coverage uninterruped by ad breaks.

    Mark James has to be the worst - he shouldn't be allowed near a microphone. He is inarticulate. His comments are always inappropriate. He never knows what to say. We all know someone in our circle of acquaintances who constantly blurts out completely inappropriate utterances. Furthermore, he was one of the nastiest individuals ever on tour. Himself and Brown were two guys who were just not liked. Des Smyth will vouch for this in one of the Ryder Cups he played in.

    While James was having breakfast one morning of the Ryder Cup a young boy approached him for his autograph. The boy returned to his horrified father with the word 'F*** off' scrawled across his autograph book. I never understood why the BBC took on one of the more objectionable individuals ever to play the game.
