    The first leg of the fed ex playoffs kicks off at the notorious Bethpage Black course in New York.

    Harrington (60), McDowell (26) & McIlroy (2) carry Irish hopes in the tournament. The top 125 players in the fed ex standings tee it up so the quality of the field is assured. The top 100 in the rankings will progress to the Deutsche Bank championship next week.

    My selection for this week is Adam Scott e/w @ 25/1 with Bet365.

    Last weeks winner Garcia is going well as is McIlroy and Harrington. I think Harrington's motivation will be strong and he will have a point to prove this week even more so with Garcia saying what he did regarding his Ryder Cup chances. I'm looking forward to seeing the Pro's hitting long irons into greens this week at one of the most difficult courses in America. I also fancy Jason Day to start making a comeback in the next few weeks!

    Just birdied 13, now -4 and T2. Going by shot tracker he seems to have mastered the putting, holing pretty much everything he has a sniff at.

    Another on 14th, It's all about putting isn't it.

    Socring pretty decent, over half of those on the course under par.

    Garcia and Mcilroy both showing up well again!

    Is there a half way cut in this or is it like the WGC events?

    An 80 for Poulter would be awful:p

    Great going by Harrington.

    It's a standard event, half way cut, I believe.

    :rolleyes: relax..great round but Harrington has done this before, only to fade on the weekend. Remember the 61 on the PGA tour earlier this year in his opening round.

    Paddy will know that better than anyone, shot something like 11 under earlier this year and didn't really stay in contention. I think the Ryder Cup factor is at play here though

    EDIT: Beat me to it

    It's a shame we can't watch this live. Alot of the top players will be done before sky's (not their fault- american tv) coverage starts. Would have been some back 9 of Paddy's to watch... -6 through 7 holes.

    Talk about making the ryder cup picks interesting! Haha!

    I reckon if he finishes top 3 Olly will come under big pressure to pick him.

    I said after uspga that I feel something big is close for Harrington. Maybe this week is it

    You can watch Mcilroy & Woods live on PGAtour.com (they have 2 holes to go). Should be some other marquee group later.

    29 on the back 9 at Bethpage black is very impressive :eek:

    Steady start by Tiger !! It's great to have him at least back in the mix competing every week even if he's nowhere near his best.

    If both players continue playing as they did in the first round, there's every chance Harrington and Garcia could be paired together at some stage over the weekend. Spicy.
