    Fair dues to Faldo he certainly packed in some career in a brilliant 8-9 year spell. He totally dropped off after his last masters win in his late 30s.

    Haha this is it. I always enjoy Open coverage as I like the BBC's approach where they bring out stories. If they just showed wall to wall drives it wouldn't actually appeal to as many people.

    But it seems a few golf die hards just can't get it into their heads that 4 full days of ad free golf is manna from heaven. They always want more. They don't actually know what it is they want, as long as it's more.

    By the way Faldo bashers, did you not watch the Masters this year? For the best part of two hours on the Friday evening it was the Ben Crenshaw show. Faldo is much more deserving of such a tribute.

    Also, I can assure you wholeheartedly that if BBC went to ad breaks every 15 mins, then their graphics teams and camera teams would be able to sync everything up much more seamlessly.

    The Beeb don't have the luxury of popping off air for a few minutes to prioritise shots and events, and create mini highlights reels "as live". They have to constantly rely on intuition.

    Well I like butch and Claude Harmon as they know quite a bit about the game. The shot centre is interesting as well.
    Each to their own I suppose

    Never understood the love for aliss. He guesses everything and makes so many mistakes that you'd have to wonder if he's just there for novelty value alone.

    Never thought of that - you're spot on.

    Anyway, great to see a couple of Irish names well up the leaderboard. Shane Lowry needs to pick up at least one shot somewhere along the way.

    Not a very nice bloke on and off the course. Players hardly have any respect for him so why should golf fans?

    Lowry has just birdied 10. Back to even par now.

    If he could shoot a back nine like yesterday, barring of course 17, it would help his cause.

    Schwartzel has a putt for eagle then apparently falls off the face of the earth.

    Does Bubby play bad in rainy conditions due to his wierd swing or is that nonsense?

    The course itself doesnt lend to itself to fast play.

    Reed 3 birdies in first 5
