"as my mother used to say, his trousers are full of legs" Watching the British Open a few years ago, some guy hit an indifferent chip. Alliss: "It's like a prospective son-in-law; one's always looking for something better." His American co-commentator was rendered speechless for about 2 minutes...:p

Each broadcaster decides which shots to show and in what sequence. Its standard coverage of a tournament. Only reason its confusing people is because we have a choice of broadcasters so we get to see different coverage.

So again tonight, BBC is about 2 mins behind Sky ( Rory's approach on the 2nd as example) which is annoying as hell if your getting texts or checking Twitter etc. If they both have access to CBS feed why would BBC be delayed by that much?
