    Slightly off topic but has anyone tried out that new Periscope app? It's definitely going to be used more and more by golfers. Was watching a bit of Poulter on the range today with Gmac... fairly impressive to see his yardage work with trackman. He was generally able to guess his wedges to within a yard or two before looking at the screen.

    Gonna be shot down here but I actually prefer seeing Phil full out at a golf course more than Rory. He's at it hammer and tongs 9 under at 6.

    Phil's a good player to watch but I lost a lot of respect for him after the Ryder Cup. Rory every day for me. Admittedly Rory does tend to play a bit safer than Phil over the 4 days.

    Just on Rory, how good is his bunker play! I've only really noticed it in the last 6 weeks or so, I always had Els and Phil as the best in the business from the sand but I think Rory might actually be the best bunker player currently out there.

    Himself and Love should definitely have kept it indoors, he was still miffed at not being picked the Saturday. See your point but it's not every day you see that reaction to Roses putt on 17 at Medinah.

    Politics aside, he's a loose cannon on course which won't reap as much as his talent should imo. Unbelievable to watch when on song though.

    Agreed, he is excellent to watch when he gets going. Butch Harmon told a story recently about a time Phil was due to play with Dustin Johnson on a Sunday in a tournament. Butch told him to make sure he focussed on his own game and didn't get caught in a long drive contest with DJ. Phil turned around and said "Butch, we both know thats exactly what's going to happen." That sums him up really, a little naive, perhaps a little silly, but brilliant for the fans.

    Rory has the short stick working very well. His approach shots are looking very sharp too...... and AVERAGE driving distance is 319 yards.

    It just makes me wonder again about how his preparations were wrong again for the Masters because he seems to play better when he's playing week after week. He's been improving all the time since the masters, stuck a few quid on him this week because it just seemed like it was all coming together.

    I think the sight of jordan speith doing so well at the masters has drove him on again, he didnt actually play that bad at the masters it was just his first 27 holes made it so hard for him to make a come back.

    Personally I don't think Rory is too fussed about Jordan or any other golfer really. I think he started poorly because he was a little undercooked going into it.

    Whatever about the 59 but his own course record is looking like being beaten. Phenomenal golf.

    No i dont think he is worried about him but i do think he was peed because he was expectin to won it and he had to look at the little american kid run away with it,

    Probably won't make the 59 but a seriously brilliant round all the same.

    Just reading up on Chambers Bay there, the course for the US Open. Sounds like a truly tough golf course. It's a links course, only one tree over the 18 holes. It's also very long. One would have to think it could really suit Rory.

    Amazing to think that at 26, he has won more PGA events than any other European

    Have never actually heard N. Faldo comment on Rory, hadn't realised Seve had won as much on PGA.
