Hopefully we'll have a winner Sunday night, always find the 18 hole play off a bit of an anti climax (Apart from Rocco and Tiger last time).
Wouldn't want a play off with any of the players committed to next weeks Irish Open either.

I read Rocco's book on that play off, not bad, a lot about Rocco's life in general and a good read

Darren Clarke working with Dr. Bob again. A repeat of the Open Championship. :-)

Garcia's putting has improved 10 fold and he has been one of the best putters on tour the last two seasons

Ya I believe he ranked 19th in putting last year, so that excuse can be put to bed

Yeah overall it's improved but he goes in patches it seems, I watched him there a few weeks back and his putting game was awful that week, hopefully he doesn't fall into a slump and gets it back, played well in Players Championship in May.

I'm always up for Poults but have a funny feeling about Jonas Blixt this time...

Tiger Mcilroy wrote: »

Nothing funny about that..blixt has taken to the majors well and have seen a few writeups on his chances.

One of those guys at a nice price that will creep along under the radar.

Bogey on one for Blixty

Nice touch from Rickie...

GreeBo · 12-06-2014 01:56PM

^ Not sure tbh, is it really a tribute or a "look at me"?

How well did Rickie know Payne, considering he wasnt even a year old when Payne died...

Ah let him off, it's just a bit of fun.

Apparently Payne was one of his favourite golfers and he wanted to pay tribute to him. Nothing wrong with that imo.

Sky talking up look of course - looks awful in my eyes.

Work in progress at least.

I love it, looks amazing to me. Just the edge of the bunkers are the only problem.

SnowDrifts · 12-06-2014 02:10PM

Disappointed to see rain has softened up the course somewhat ... wanted to see them suffer!!

seanhynes · 12-06-2014 02:12PM

Ricky would have been a 10 year old when Payne Stewart died he'd have watched him a bit

kevohmsford · 12-06-2014 02:12PM

Looking forward to the next few days of golf.

Rickie Fowler with a new look.

Ahh no, I think it looks super, real old school. None of this overly manicured wall to wall dark green. At least its different to the norm on tour.

Pity about the rain though.

Around bunkers just looks unfinished - not a fan of bunkers that punish you with extras - some of the extras just look out of place.
First reaction.

whatawaster · 12-06-2014 02:22PM

The course looks incredible

FixdePitchmark · 12-06-2014 02:26PM

Tough there. Up and downs will be key.

Speak Now · 12-06-2014 02:31PM

Love the course, nice to see golfers having to think their way round more than normal. Shame its not proper firm though.

SnowDrifts · 12-06-2014 02:35PM

How is Snedeker ripping apart THIS course!!

DuckHook · 12-06-2014 02:36PM

On a half day and watching the golf now...very soft and snedeker is firing straight at everything...could end up with a serious score if he keeps going.

Dolph Starbeam · 12-06-2014 02:45PM

McIlroy setting himself up for another top 10 finish.

PropJoe10 · 12-06-2014 02:53PM

Mcilroy all over the shop. Mickelson looking very good off the tee, hopefully he'll work his putting out.

Adamocovic · 12-06-2014 02:53PM

I was thinking Webb would have another good year, has to get back in it though, couple of poor putts.

Apologies, seen it on the PGA Tour site on his scorecard but it was just a link to an old article.. you're spot on he's still in there!

John Divney · 12-06-2014 03:12PM

Sneds will be back to earth after that bunker lip into the woods

LinksLad · 12-06-2014 03:12PM

I knew *INSERT GOLFER NAME* would win it.

Just didn't want to jinx him by posting it here!

He hasn't withdrawn, but I think I know what happened

http://www.pgatour.com/leaderboard.html

It has a link to an article about Sergio pulling out of the PGA in Wentworth stuck beside his scorecard.
Headline is "Garcia withdraws with knee injury" - I'm guessing that's what caused the confusion.
