    Interesting to see Woods so relaxed laughing there with his playing partner.
    Would the younger Woods be so relaxed after mediocre golf by his standards.


    In fairness I think he went in this week with limited expectations in terms of competing

    Jesus after the first hole I was thinking would Johnson make another big move....gone totally the opposite way as of late. Schwartzl with another drop shot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭big_drive


    Two huge par saves for Mcilroy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,319 ✭✭✭Al_Coholic


    After an awful 76 in the first round Angel Cabrera is on -3 now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    What a putt by Fowler

    Lovely approach by Rory, be huge to make it.

    BOOOOOM 2 ahead again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    McDowell and Clarke both finished on -5..good rounds for the both of them!

    May be playing at the same time tomorrow....on different tee's:mad:*

    Poor by Garcia, to say the least.


    *2-tee start may not happen tomorrow

    Sergio emphasising why he'll probably never win a major. That missed 2 footer for birdie was poor


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,733 ✭✭✭SnowDrifts


    That's a great looking leaderboard. Shaping up for a entertaining final day!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,583 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Very tasty now, will be a great final day!

    Now we've joint leaders. Going to be some shootout between those 2.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,810 Mod ✭✭✭✭Keano


    Poor shot from Rory. Will do well get up and down from there but Fowler looks to be in trouble off the tee now though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,583 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Not a good teeshot by McIllroy!

    Ha.. the mid Atlantic twang I think they call it.

    Nice par save by Rory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,583 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Unreal, now 2 ahead again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,907 ✭✭✭Redo91


    Anybody else find the selection of shots that the BBC are showing really frustrating? When they show a player like Furyk, Oosthuizen, etc who are a few shots of the pace and they have a par putt you just know that they are going to miss it. Same if they show a player in that position with a birdie putt, you just know that they will make it. It ruins the surprise/suspense when you know what is going to happen before they have taken the shot.

    It would be better if they gave more consistent coverage of other golfers rather than spending so much wasted time watching the marquee groups walking up the fairway instead of showing other golfers shots "live".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,583 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Fowler is creaking at the seams it appears.

    Being patriotic I want McIllroy to win it. But there is a part of me that'd be delighted if Garcia nicked it. He is -10 now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,583 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Cracking putt by Rory again. 5 ahead now, on -15


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,810 Mod ✭✭✭✭Keano


    Super putt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,638 ✭✭✭big_drive


    Unreal from Mcilroy. Things have really turned in a few holes.

    Par- birdie finish now would have him set up nicely for tomorrow

    That would have been some putt from Rory but every chance he'll birdie 18
