    Harrington with no shot to the pin because of hazard on 16 purposely hits it against the grandstand so that it ricochets towards the green !!

    Definitely destined for YouTube :D

    It's defintely good thinking. He knew he prob make bogey but he not far away from the leader so he was happy enough to make a single than a double bogey.

    Still think maybe Mickleson looks to be on song and hitting them crisply!!!

    Harrington finds the water on the last....tut!!! :mad::mad::mad:

    What a thoroughly rubbish finish. That round of -2 isn't actually all that good. The course was being torn up today.

    As much as it pains me... cant argue with the accessment of the sky numpties re padraigs ability to win a tourney as long as he remains a lottery off the tee.

    he will not win this thing tomorrow. not unless his caddy grows a pair overnight and refuses to let his man play a driver off the tee on the 18th.

    how can r.flood not step in there and insist that a gentle 3 wood off the tee is the only way for a guy who ( in something like 11 attempts ) has never got a sniff of a birdie!?

    thats not to say padraig isnt innocent of a deserved kick up the hole... but funkyballs Flood... seriously... does he have a mandate to voice an opinion other than "yes boss.. deadly buzz" ?

    liking the beard tho.

    Yep, he won't win tomorrow. As for Flood I'll bite my lip.

    Watched a bit of this last night and heard Mickelson interviewed...
    'I had 181 yards to go on 18 and hit 9-iron' WTF?
    I suppose he did leave it 3 feet short of the flag so he only hit his nine iron 180 in what was practically calm conditions...

    Paddy Jekyll & Mr. Hyde good for entertainment value, not for the nerves :)

    stopped putting bets on harrington last year for any major. :mad:


    when harrington is good, he's great, when he's bad, he's brutal. a little less conversation about your game getting better, more working on trying to make it better.

    I'm going to get abused for this...and probably rightfully so...but I'm going to say it anyway. I really don't think that Harrington is the full schilling. I firmly believe that he's not right in the head. He sounds a bit slow at times and some of the decisions he makes on a golf course are just plain silly.

    Anyway, back to this event...aftertiming on this forum but mentioned on another, I'm on Scott Verplank @170-1. A local boy who has put in three solid rounds. Phil got away with murder yesterday, I don't think he'll get away with it today and hopefully verplank can play some steady golf and take this one home.

    I missed msot of the golf yesterday (switched on when PH was teeing off on 16 - hence my beliefe that I am the blink!)... in what way was Phil lucky, few breaks off the tee? They just showed him holing a butt-load of putts in the summing up later on.

    Sure are but a strong caddy would quickly ease this situation. Look at Mickelson and Bones Mackay, in depth calculated discussions and often strong views over shots. Flood seems to be more of an usher out there, quiet please.

    Ha! I did the very same and had similar thoughts.

    Just knew he was destined for the water on 18 too. It's getting that predictable. Switched off then and was pleasantly surprised, this morning, that he managed to limit the damage to a bogey. If he does manage to get back in contention today, not sure I would have the stomach to watch him on the last few holes.

    lol at calling some one who has won 3 majors a bit slow.He may make some strange decisions alright but he is also a qualified accountant he cant be that slow.

    I've watched him play live a number of times and it's just a personal opinion about him that maybe I shouldn't have shared haha. He's a real talent on the golf course but his mindset is questionable.

    In reply to the Mickleson question. I don't think you could call him lucky yesterday...he played sublime, chip ins woods from the fairway going where he wanted them to go...it was all good. He took the risks and they paid off.

    The course is not really set up for a player who's protecting the lead so Mickleson and Verplank will have to go for everything because you can be sure the likes of Aaron Bads and Anthony Kim will

    Harrington spraying it all over the place already.

    EDIT: But his putting is saving him again. Holed a nice 15 footer there.
