Hofman with a Branden Grace ruling. Chappell calling it for what it is...bull****!

Crazy, I can see members in the club using that in the future if they don't like their lie. If you get a bad stance anywhere in bunker you do your best with it, one foot out of the bunker etc etc. Would be different if there was a danger of hitting the base with your club but that never seemed to be the issue.

Fair play to Chappell, that was class.

Deeper Blue

The 18th seemed a bit short for a par 5, was the tee moved up?

For example Vegas hit 8 iron from the bunker on his second shot, hit the lip and still made the green. Gutsy shot with the water there though, fair play to him.

I hate that rubbish - delighted he lost the play off......besides, I like Vegas anyway.

What was the ruling?

martinkop

Free drop in bunker, because his feet dug through all the sand. ridiculous!!!

HighLine

Said back at the time that the Grace ruling was farcical... as was last night's decision. Love Chappell calling him out on it though

A far cry from the time Darren Clarke played out sideways from the rough when the crowd trampled down the grass where his ball had been marked overnight.

Did his playing partner really say "look at that sh*t eating grin on his face" to the referee? That's what it sounded like to me.

He did. They are however close friends and my guess was that Hoffman gave him a grin as he walked away from the bunker.

I just hurt my back....watching Jason Day hit driver. He wont be playing golf like that in even 5 years time

Just looking at the bottom end of the leaderboard from yesterday and it's a sobering experience. Jason Dufner +6, Danny Willett +6, Billy Horschel +6 and Patrick Reed +5.

It's a cruel game.

Not sure what point you're making? Willett fair enough he's going through a major slump in form but the others just had bad rounds on a tough course, not too much to read into.

I think they're all in slumps tbh. Billy Horschel has missed 8 cuts this year. Dufner not so many, but his only top ten finish was a win. Reed has 5 missed cuts and two top tens out of 22. That's a big drop on last year's eleven top tens including a win.

Horschel is one of the 'stars' that moved to PXG.

Jason Day is becoming a bigger moan bag by the week, getting increasingly difficult to watch.

JDay on fire.

He was having back problems. The weather delay came at just the right time for him.

Any reason why the crowds are so small at the WGC Bridgestone, looks to be barely anyone watching .

He's crocked. Will be lucky to play 4 rounds.
His swing is a back wrecker.

FixdePitchmark

for a lad with a bad back - Days swing is crazy fast an very jerky.

AGC

I'm sorry. He's acting like a dope. Back at him all of a sudden -5 they 9 the back is grand. He's a dose. Middle of fairway his back is grand. Rough it's crocked.

No Sky coverage until 7 for a WGC? Can't blame the host broadcasters this time because I've been watching a stream of the golf channel showing it live for over an hour.

Its been on the Red Button for hours.

Awful bunker shot by Pieters. Mcillroy will only be 2 behind.

Rory's putting is off. He seems to be over reading the greens - missing on the high side too much.

JimmyMcGill

Zach Johnson made him look very ordinary out there. Apart from a big drive nothing else doing.

Mushy

His wedge play is infuriating. The distances he leaves for putts, I'm happy with that and I don't officially have a handicap (16 was last official)

In saying that, his drive on 16 must be annoying for him. Hits it well, trickles into divot, forced to lay up. When the luck is out, it's out

We saw the two sides to him on 16, 322 carry down the middle off the tee (but got unlucky), but that wedge shot was awful. He whiffed it, you could see him give it a bit extra on the follow through, I'd say he thought it was in the water.

What time does Rory tee off Irish Time?

Pieters having a mare on the greens, wouldn't begrudge Hoffman the win.

Matsuyama was just magnificent tonight. Pure exhibition of the highest quality golf I have seen in a long time. Serious contender for next week.

3-putt for Spieth from 9 feet but stays 1 clear of DJ.

What I would give to just putt like speith for one round. He is insanely good.

Some putting display. Jordan at 17th and DJ on 18th. Playoff.

Serious battle between the two lads. Clutch putting.
