Not the best of standards so far, Manning and Brady a mile left and right on this hole, Phil in the bushes somewhere and Tiger straight down the middle.

CalamariFritti · 24-05-2020 9:37pm

And quite painful to watch with all the ads and appeals and sh1te talk and whatnot. Awful rain doesn't help especially the amateurs tbf. I don't think I will be able to stay with this all the way.

Loving Tiger's driving so far. Swinging refreshingly with great rhythm and not lashing it unlike Phil who is swinging it terribly. Far too steep, too narrow and just trying to hit the Hollywood shot all the time. I predict a 4&3 win for Tiger/Peyton.

CalamariFritti · 24-05-2020 10:00pm

Phil is all over the place. Very hard to keep any kind of good swing rhythm going in those conditions.

fred funk }{ · 24-05-2020 10:29pm

Brady all over the shop.

CalamariFritti · 24-05-2020 10:40pm

I'd love to know what the 2 amateurs are off.

Think Brady is off 8. I'd seriously question that. Sure he didn't know how to take a drop form the red stakes.

Well I'll be damned....he just holed out for eagle on the par 5. Lol

FixdePitchmark · 24-05-2020 10:47pm

What a shot :eek::eek::eek::eek:

youcancallmeal · 24-05-2020 10:50pm

Brady has ripped a hole in the arse of his pants and no one has mentioned it yet

24-05-2020 11:03pm

I wish they'd mute Manning's mic, he's doing some ferocious heavy breathing.

FixdePitchmark · 24-05-2020 11:12pm

They are not that clued into the social distancing versus ourselves ?

FixdePitchmark · 24-05-2020 11:13pm

dropping 100 Ks - like smarties.

fred funk }{ · 24-05-2020 11:13pm

A lot more watchable than that rubbish last week.

rapul · 24-05-2020 11:18pm

Quite enjoyable, but Woods and Manning clearly the better 2, poor ould Phil carrying Brady, he was lucky to get that birdie but its a great game all in all for what it's worth but seriously Brady is quite ****e in general, Woods is playing very well and Manning for an amateur

rossyd2005 · 24-05-2020 11:35pm

Manning is a genuine single figure hc by the looks of this. Brady is like a nice looking girl on the streets of pattaya, looks the part but as soon as she starts swinging her club you know someones been telling lies

FixdePitchmark · 24-05-2020 11:46pm

What a shot from Phil

Needs to use it, Manning is really playing well though

rapul · 24-05-2020 11:49pm

What a beauty, go on Phil

And to be fair Brady putted well for once

Edit, Phil on the 12th what a beauty, but Tiger very good also, game on

FixdePitchmark · 24-05-2020 11:54pm

Brady doesn't even look off 12 - never mind 8 ?

FixdePitchmark · 25-05-2020 12:02am

Brady will be getting .1 after this.

On the way to 9 anyway - lol .

FixdePitchmark · 25-05-2020 12:06am

Jaysus - it looks like Ireland - and here looks like there.

The world is upside down.

CalamariFritti · 25-05-2020 12:06am

To be fair weather is awful. If I had to play in that my game would probably go to sh1t too. Hate playing in the rain.

Bigtime, lashing down

In fairness - they are playing , rare you see that in US

spacecoyote · 25-05-2020 8:47am

Didnt bother watching much of this. Watched a quick YouTube highlight clip this morning

They were saying Tiger hit 14/14 Fairways which is pretty damn impressive.

Also that hes lost a bunch of muscle bulk as hes spent most of the break playing tennis rather than golf.

Will be interesting to see how that impacts him when things get back competitive

CalamariFritti · 25-05-2020 9:56am

He looked a bit weird as in he is still quite bulky upstairs but his calves looked super skinny. Maybe he was always like that. Phil made a joke about it even I think.

youcancallmeal · 25-05-2020 10:34am

It was a vast improvement over the first Tiger Phil match in 2018, primarily because the 2 amateurs were involved I reckon. Also helped they mixed up it a lot, like one hole on the front 9 was single club only and the back 9 was modified alternate shots.

HighLine · 25-05-2020 10:35am

I think Tiger can be as skinny as he likes if he keeps hitting it like he did last night. The whole match was actually entertaining to watch unlike last week.

I thought it was very enjoyable, possibly the best non major/ryder cup televised golf I have seen in a long time

Tiger was absolute fire - very quiet on the mic though
Phil was brilliant, gave some great insights around the green with chips and putts. Even when he hit a bad shot his inflight dialogue was great
Brady (1 shot aside) was woeful. No way is he an 8 handicap. He played like a 20 handicapper. No driver in the bag, sliced every three wood right, chunked chips, walloped putts...
Manning played solid - 6 handicapper and it looked like a fair enough rating. more than his golf he was alot more engaging on the mike.

Justin Thomas and Charles Barkley were great on commentary also. All in all I thought it was great.

Tiger seemed out of place in that format.

Not sure he likes Phil and it was the ultimate Phil show.

On the "best" - could we just all be just suffering nogolfcoronavirusitis

Wombatman · 25-05-2020 5:12pm

Always wondered what was between a US handicap and a UK\IRL handicap. Must be between 3-5 shots judging from last night and my experience playing in the US.
I'm around 13 and all the yanks I played with were convinced I was single figures. Was a bit embarrassing actually telling them my handicap. Made me look like a total bandit to them.

Tigers mic was broken for much of the back 9. I don't think it was fixed.
