    Garcia on fire today. 7 under thru 17 holes for a total -11

    The Tour officials must be cursing their luck. Sergio leading, dragging down the level of the tournament like that. They still probably havent forgiven him for winning a few years ago, sinking forever their push for it to a be a '5th major'.

    Rory is going backwards!

    But it was the back nine where he made most of his birdies yesterday ;)

    Lets hope so!

    jesus - everyone is holing out all over the place!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,536 ✭✭✭Dolph Starbeam


    McIlroy birdies the 1st and misses a good chance on the 2nd. He will need a very good round today.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,843 ✭✭✭Jimdagym


    Westwood doubles the first.

    He completely missed the ball while stuck by a tree! They are human :pac:

    Me having money on Stenson and Garcia (ref gambling forum golf betting thread) means they're going to implode at some point over the weekend (namely Sunday) if the season so far is an indicator lol.

    But yeah, Stenson is striking the ball brilliantly out there. The way he's been playing this season, wouldn't be surprising to see him one of the three remaining Majors tbh. Stats this year are superb.

    Terrible bogey a moment ago for Tiger just to add.

    At the time, it looked like he hurt his wrist too but he seems fine now. He hit the tree at the start of his downswing which changed his swing path hence the fresh air.

    Maggert rolling back the years.

    Lol Stenson.

    Thanks for that... Sky failed to point that out


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,323 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    oh no - they are replaying the Kevin Na waggle-show from last year!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,417 ✭✭✭The Pontiac


    Play to resume @ 11pm. Is there much daylight left, enough to complete the round?

    Could get 2 more hours out of it

    Bit of a spat between Tiger and Sergio. Garcia claiming he was put off in his backswing by Tiger taking out a wood and the crowd cheering as a result.

    Tiger said "I'm not surprised he's complaining about something"


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,839 ✭✭✭Russman


    Ahh Tiger, classy as ever

    They have previous and don't even talk to each other, what Tiger actually said was that the marshalls had told him Sergio had already hit so he was going to go about his business.

    True though that Sergio is often whining about something

    He wasnt aware of anything until the rain delay when he was told Sergio was upset about it. Not by Sergio of course because as I said, they dont talk.

    It should also be noted that Sergio had plenty of time to back off the shot and take it again, but went ahead with it anyway, and made a balls of it, and had a moan.

    The real fault is the 1diots cheering just because he took out a club.
    But to be fair, Sergio couldn't back off it, when they showed the synced screens later on, the clapping for Woods began just as Sergio was hitting his shot. Of course Sergio shouldn't have moaned to the TV people, but all Woods had to do was say "sorry about that" and it would have died a death. Tiger should have made sure Sergio had hit and not relied on the marshals, its not their responsibility.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,536 ✭✭✭Dolph Starbeam


    Tiger has done nothing wrong, he was told Sergio had hit his shot, in these situations players always rely on the marshals, the fans were the ones in the wrong. Sergio had the first dig and Tiger replied with a dig of his own. No big deal.


    Tiger and Sergio both birdie the par 5 16th and both hit the 17th green.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,536 ✭✭✭Dolph Starbeam


    And Sergio holes it and Tiger misses. Both at -11.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,536 ✭✭✭Dolph Starbeam


    Round 3 finished, Lingmerth, Sergio and Tiger all on -11.

    What decides the final pairings?

    Does it go as the leaderboard is now? Which would mean Lingmerth and Sergio in the final group with Tiger and Wittenberg before them?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,839 ✭✭✭Russman


    I think the pairings, if the scores are the same, are based on who was finished first in the previous round.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,088 ✭✭✭RikkFlair


    Yeah Tiger and Sergio won't be paired so no frosty atmosphere for final round!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,839 ✭✭✭Russman


    Wonder who they'll put with Lingmerth ? :)

    Garcia and Lingmerth.

    It will probably be best for Garcia and Tiger that they are separated. A playoff between the 2 would be great.
