    don't see what's so disgraceful about it myself to be honest. Majority of US audience want to see him. Viewing figures are statistically way higher than when he's not playing in a tournament.

    The marquee group on the final day should always be the final group.

    US golf networks are there at the end of the day to get the viewing figures and make money. Casual golf fans just tune in to watch him mostly. It's not going to change any time soon.

    Poulter started very well .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,597 ✭✭✭kingshankly


    Rory lays up in to the trees shocking stuff


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,806 Mod ✭✭✭✭Keano


    Those are the shots Rory needs to stop trying. Simple lay up with a 5 or 6 would have done


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,806 Mod ✭✭✭✭Keano


    Poulter birdies again...5 in a row!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,526 ✭✭✭✭fullstop

    How the hell would it? He needed enough club to carry the hazard.

    It probably was about a 5 anyway cause he only hit it about 190


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,630 ✭✭✭me89


    5 in a row for Poults. Just one back now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,564 ✭✭✭kiers47


    Some par save from tiger after a horrible 2nd.

    Great shot by Rory

    Great shot from McIlroy. Just needed that to settle things. Some golf from poulter


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,806 Mod ✭✭✭✭Keano


    Superb birdie by Rory, got lucky with where he ended up.

    Yes. I want him in the ryder cup as an auto pick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭Spudmonkey


    Exactly what rule did Petterson break? I doubt an experienced pro would ground the club in a hazard. Even if it looked like it.

    Moved a loose impediment in a hazard I presume.

    That is a ridiculous penalty. So your allowed brush the grass in a hazard but not to move a dead leaf. Stupid interpretation if you ask me, and probably only penalised cause someone watching at home emailed in.

    I believed for quiet some time now, that it is time to update some rules. For example, a penalty if the ball rotates one dimple when you address the ball to putt even though it was caused by nature, i.e the wind and not the player. They need to look at not applying penalties where the result is that the player gained no advantage, as with Peterson's loose leaf:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,983 ✭✭✭IrishHomer


    I think play might get stopped again. I'm over on holiday in the region and evening storms are closing in once again. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,597 ✭✭✭kingshankly


    There might be some dodgy rules but grounding your club in a hazard isn't one

    Agreed. If the pro's dont know the rules then what chance have amatures got? No wonder they call an official over for every little drop etc these days = slow play

    Think it was spotted at the time by the rules official that was assigned to the group

    Wonderful putt from McIlroy.

    How isn't anyone talking about Harrington, brilliant stuff so far

    Because he is being overshadowed by the class of Mcilroy and he's not going to win. Great consistency to be up there again though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,212 ✭✭✭Jaysoose


    Anybody but poulter....his head cant get any bigger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,681 ✭✭✭✭P_1


    How's G-Mac getting on?

    Rory showing his class...some display of bottle so far today.

    Fantastic par save from McIlroy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    The one time I decide to not put an e/w bet on Poulter he goes and gets close to winning it. Brilliant


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,109 ✭✭✭RikkFlair


    Some round this by Poulter. Tiger seems intent on splitting a spectators head open.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,526 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Poulter with a couple of good breaks on 13


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,599 ✭✭✭matthew8


    Looks like another top 10 finish for Harrington, but not much more. I think he has been one of the most consistent this year.

    Shocker of a miss on 13, don't know how it didn't drop though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,313 ✭✭✭✭GreeBo


    He didn't ground it though, hit a loose impediment.
    mark roe just "explained" that it was a penalty because "he hit the grass, and the grass is growing, attached to the ground"
    might have to direct him to one of our rules threads...

    Poulter feeling the pressure

    All Rory's now...

    Have to laugh at all the people on here and elsewhere who said mcilroy was finished, needed to get rid of the woman etc. He had a great early season, lost form for a few months and is now about to win his 2nd major at the age of 22. Far from finished and will win many more majors, he can keep Caroline for all I care1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,287 ✭✭✭big_drive


    McIlroy is unstoppable when he's on form!!


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 51,690 Mod ✭✭✭✭Stheno


    If he wins this he'll be younger than Tiger was when he won his second major

    Yeah but Tiger had won 6 majors by 25.

    McIlroy is 23 and turns 24 after the masters next year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭brandon_flowers


    The record for winning margin in the PGA is 7 shots, he could equal it here.

    But not two by Rorys current age

    I guess I'm just enjoying how well he appears to be doing is all :)

    I remember being away with work and sitting in a hotel bar with a crowd of golf fans watching him implode in the Masters last year. To come back from that and win his first major and possibly his second tonight in a year and a half is pretty great imo.

    I have never ever heard of David Lynn.

    Has an American major ever been so dominated by Europeans?
