Mr Yang does the job on McDowell again unfortunately.

In before people start moaning that F.Castano is getting too much TV time.

DJ's been working on the short game after that manky chip last week

You can watch it on the official site. http://www.worldgolfchampionships.com

Poulter defeated. I really thought he might have gone far. He seems to play very well in matchplay.

Thank god, save having to listen to Bruce Critchley babble on about him all weekend.

Darren Clarke tending the flag,then clapping and slapping Watney on the back appears so wrong to me even if it was for eagle.
If i was playing my club matchplay and i was 4 down after 10 or 11 holes i wouldn't be smiling away,i would be grinding like F... and DC should be no different........ah well he'll, have the consolation of a tasty cheque.

Spudmonkey · 22-02-2012 8:30pm

Woods' golf is pure muck.

A bit odd alright but it was a hell of a shot by Watney.

Tiger doing some serious bushwhacking, looks like going 1 down.

So much for Bang Sae Moon being a token Asian Tour player, 4&3 over Poulter is a great result.

Great scalp there for Robert Rock, amazing what a win can do for your confidence.

Seems he is not a fan of Bruce!

@IanJamesPoulter Well Bruce Chritchley talks complete bollox most of the time anyway. Sorry sky sports viewers for having to listen to his crap every week.

Keano · 22-02-2012 8:54pm

Clarke's gone. Shock :pac:

Aidric · 22-02-2012 8:58pm

Full support for that tweet from Poulter. Critchley is a fawning mess.

Benicetomonty · 22-02-2012 9:49pm

Bit harsh from Poulter, not endearing himself to Sky which is never a good idea for a European. He has a point though, Critchley makes way too many mistakes these days...time to go.

irish bloke · 22-02-2012 10:15pm

The Tiger lucky to get through....

bigtimecharlie · 22-02-2012 10:16pm

Now we will see more of Rory.

Meh.

0 birdies.

You've not missed much.

SirDelboy18 · 22-02-2012 10:37pm

Fowler on a serious comeback.

dvemail · 22-02-2012 10:38pm

Nice to see Sky leading the crusade against spitting.

JerryHandbag · 22-02-2012 10:49pm

Tiger will have to up his game if he wants to get past Nick Watney

dvemail · 22-02-2012 10:53pm

What in the name of god did Jimenez say in that interview?

irish bloke · 22-02-2012 10:57pm

You'd have to fancy the yanks to have a winner here with 34% of the field dominated by them.

Next to them is England and S Africa with just over 9% each.

Not a Paddy in the field:(, thought Lowry would have made it.

bigtimecharlie · 22-02-2012 11:04pm

Rory now 1 up due to bogies from his opponent.

I think Keegan Bradley is the man to beat this week, will also probably be Americas top player come Ryder Cup with the way he plays matchplay.

you like your percentages,i'll give you that, but i really don't see how it's really that relevent.
The way the draw works it might favour an international winner with most of the yanks knocking each other out.

Agree, just pointing out over a third of the field are yanks and theoretically they have a 1 in 3 chance of winning it (not taking rankings into perspective or course, as anyone can beat anyone in this format really)

dvemail · 22-02-2012 11:17pm

Rorys first birdie of the day.

bigtimecharlie · 22-02-2012 11:22pm

Rory now 2up.

bigtimecharlie · 22-02-2012 11:30pm

Another birdie sends Rory 3 up. That's more like it from Rory, great putt.

k.p.h · 23-02-2012 12:30am

Great stuff, looking forward to tomorrow already.

Clear and concise if you ask me, the live scoring is handy with all the matches going on ..

A refreshing amount of times.

SnowDrifts · 23-02-2012 9:20pm

The "Get in the hole!!!" brigade are out in force. I'd like to shoot them with something. Non-lethal of course.

Keano · 23-02-2012 9:23pm

Tiger's caddy just has a sneaky look at Watney's bag to see what club he was playing. Cheeky.

dvemail · 23-02-2012 9:30pm

Coverage of the golf today is shocking, yesterdays wasn't too bad but today is just taking the piss.

Getting a bit fed up withthe sky worship of an average to poor Woods.
They are making me sick.

How far does Rory have to progress to get to World No.1 ?

Not for much longer. After Watney gets line of sight + Immovable obstruction relief he'll chip & putt for at least a half.

Or maybe not.

FixdePitchmark · 23-02-2012 10:22pm

If Tiger plays like that in masters , he could miss cut.

He has to win it, same goes for Westwood as well.
