Bridgestone Invitational

shame there's no coverage till 6 or 7
Freddie Jacobson off to a flyer

Funny how Tiger is apparently playing 'pretty well' and Harrington is playing 'rubbish' yet there's only 1 shot between them :rolleyes:

staker

Well Harro is irish:pac:

Keep 'em down at all costs!!

blackwaterfish

well padraig is such a superior talent to TW that padraigs rubbish is equivalent to Tw's pretty well.

blackwaterfish

PH: 2 birdies in the last 3 holes..... budge jayzuz thats rubbish


pffft.... followed by a bogey. guess he's doing pretty well

Dr.Silly

Another two birdies for PH

I predict a double or triple bogey before the end of the round :P

k.p.h

Fowler -6 today :eek: Be cool to see him win this (or anything). He talented player .

woohoo.... its on baby!

Has PH been mistakenly playing stableford for the last 2 years? that would explain his post round positivity after calamitous scores vs par.

That would be funny if it was true. As far as I can see, the worst score he has posted in the last three months is 73. Unfortunately, apart from the Scottish Open, his best score has been 71. He won't trouble the top end of the leaderboards until he starts shooting in the 60's again regularly.

I see your point, but if you were talking solely about how they were striking it, then yes, there's a world of difference. It's a good thing Padraig has a World class short game. 'Cause he'd be out of the top 100 by now if he hadn't.

It's remarkable he's stayed in the top 100. He seems to miss the cut at every major and significant event and struggles to make it in Europe.

good hitting from McIlroy so far but holing noting

Any decent streams going today?

Dyson shot 66 today.

Trampas

they are out.

ph starts birdie, bogey.

Poulter, triple, birdie, double

matthew8

Rickie Fowler had a poor start today but an eagle on 11 brought him to level par for the day and 3 off the lead. I really hope he wins so he the media will shut up about when his first win will come, and I like his playing and clothing style.

Is fourth round later today? Why so early?

Good question, disappointed to see most of the rounds finished already, thought it would only be getting going now.
Stream below for anyone interested, don't see any other posted for today

They said earlier that there are thunderstorms forecast for the afternoon so they sent them out early today.

Anyone see the missed putt on 18 by Rory. Was about 7 foot for birdie, he must have missed the hole by 2 inches. The putter is so cold.

It was a terrible effort. He holed from about 30 feet on 17 though.

if scott wins who will be happier scott or williams?

Iceboy

Adam is playing brilliant but Kinda want Fowler to win, he is in contention in almost every event now it's only a matter of time before he wins now, if he doesn't win today im putting money on him next week

big_drive

Not showing much of McIlroy

lostatsea

Williams will be ecstatic if Scott wins. Williams has a very nasty streak and this will be sweet revenge for him after being sacked by Woods.

Why is Rory McIlroy getting such little coverage? I have seen numerous shots by Karlsson who is way back but have just seen the first shot of the day of Rory. He is just off the first page of the leaderboard.

I thought the American networks were thrilled that McIlroy would be committing to the US tour next year as it would boost their ratings. However, they seem to have more interest in the unexciting Karlsson at -5 rather than McIlroy at -9!

Last week petulantly calling an American broadcaster a failed golfer might have a little to do with.

Would be hardly that would it? Childish if it is!

lostatsea

I hardly think Jay Townsend has such pull with the US networks. How petulant were McIlroy's comments? Townsend was right to criticise his course management but tweeting a comment to the effect that it was like the management of a 10 year old was asking for trouble.

your actaully probably right, they have shown zero mcilroy coverage and tons of people behind him on like 4,5 under par

Perhaps being 5 shots back and making no birdies is the reason.
Then again he is the reining US Open champion, he has obviously done something if he is not getting coverage?

lostatsea

More Karlsson - watching every shot as he struggles up the 18th. I know McIlroy is behind and won't win but I'd imagine American audiences would like to see the US Open champion.

Dr.Silly

Hope Adam does it ... lovely player..

I think if he wins this, he's going to climb up the world rankings exceptionally quick and be back in the top 5 within no time. His putting, which has let him down in the past has improved ten fold.

Nice chip in for birdie then as well
