Tiger v Rory at 13.30, tv coverage starting at 14.00 big bo bo there from sky sports.

Maybe sky can’t do anything about it as probably controlled by USA tv who can be crazy at times

I'd back Tiger all day

Woods 1 up and playing some serious golf so far.

Deeper Blue

I missed the first 7 holes, has Woods been good or Mcilroy poor?

Rory has missed a few good chances. Nothing exciting yet

I see self-proclaimed "brilliant match player" Paul Casey is getting a lesson from Frankie Molinari so far. This pleases me greatly.

Its one match for feck sake, your hardly judging anything about a players match play ability from it

I didn't think it was possible to dislike somebody I've never met as much as I dislike Casey.

Nick Faldo almost appears modest in comparison.

Mantis Toboggan

Rorys putting has been really poor.

PokeHerKing

Man that was an ice cold looking Woods

The big cat smells blood

Mantis Toboggan

Byreegaard giving Stenson a lesson so far. Didn't see that coming.

Of course not, in fairness to Casey he's a two time finalist here, my point was he bigged himself up in his interview yesterday as if he'd never lost a match in his life and now he's getting a beating.

As I write this he's just dunked one in the water too. The end is nigh for Paul

At least Faldo could back it up.

I agree wholeheartedly by the way

Keano

Game over. Tiger don’t let up

PokeHerKing

Sheesh mcilroy played that hole exactly the way I normally would after Ive hit my best drive of the day

paulie21

From looking like going all square McIlroy manages to take 6 shots from middle of the fairway

Keano

395 drive, wedge in hand and now he’s 2 down! That’s golf

Coverage is painfull seeing so few shots from everyone else i hope we dont get any more rory tiger pairings this year

Deeper Blue

That was a shocking mistake from Rory but he was probably a bit unlucky with the lie outside the bunker. If it landed in the bunker he probably would've won the hole. Still no excuse for the second shot

enfant terrible

If you can find Astro Golf channel they have english commentary and no advert breaks so show other matches too.

Mantis Toboggan

Drive for show putt for dough, pretty much sums up the tiger Rory match.

Deeper Blue

You'd have to fancy Woods to beat Bjerregaard and he's arguably on the softer side of the draw at this stage with Molinari and Oosthuizen in the other half

FYP :pac:

Rikand

Kisner and oosthuizen played 2 holes in the length of time it took Sergio to line up and shank that putt

PokeHerKing

Have to agree with mcginely, woods is definitely beatable here.

A lot less pressure on Lucas than mcilroy as well.

I think it would be no harm for Tiger to lose at this stage and get some rest before Augusta...however he wont give it away.

He has arguably done the hard work by beating Rory...take the time off now imo.

I would guess you would be in the minority in hoping fir that. TV networks showing what most golf viewers want to see.

Mantis Toboggan

Frankie is some man for the matchplay.

PokeHerKing

Woods making $hite of mine and mcginelys opinion.

The big cat is loose.

Mushy

Garcia lost that hole in pure idiotic fashion

Rikand

Sergio imploding

He should have known he'd get nothing from Kuchar. Sure look what he did to that caddy

Deeper Blue

Karma for Garcia after Saudi perhaps?

Neither of these two can stay away from controversy it seems :pac:

What is the exact ruling on concessions? Was wondering if Kuchar turned and walked away, would that count as a concession?

Pa8301

Garcia didn't even look up to see if Kuchar had given the putt. I don't have too much sympathy for him.

Rikand

He went to tap it in, not thinking hed miss. He wasnt even looking for a concession, he was so sure he would get the 4 inch putt. He's only mad with Kuchar now because he missed it

not a chance. Just foolishness out of Garcia and his Spanish temper is aggravating the situation

You're telling me people like watching Tiger for a minute before he takes every shot, each to their own but I'd prefer to see other golfers when all thats going on.
I'm not much of a fanboy for any golfer mind

Deeper Blue

Bjerregaard has come a long way in a few years in fairness to him

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-golf-european-idUSKBN0JS0MC20141214

For the rest of the chasing pack going into the final round it was a day of horrors, most notably Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard, who trailed Grace by just a single shot going into Sunday, but carded a 17-over 89 as his game fell to pieces.

He eventually tied for 49th.

Garcia is now telling Kuchar that he should have conceded the next hole to him to make up for the fact that the ref intervened in stating that Garcia's putt wasn't formally conceded. Kuchar appears not have been permitted by the ref to retrospectively concede the putt.

This is another example of the petulance displayed by Garcia and his immaturity at not taking responsibility for an act which is of his own making. Koepka had the courage to tell him to grow up after the Saudi incident. Maybe, other fellow pros should follow Koepka's example.

Yeah I don't know why Garcia was expecting Kuchar to bail him out of his own cock up.

Rikand

McGinley thinking that the majority of people would be siding with Garcia on this one. He's got the European blinkers on in a big way


(and as all the regulars here will know im a massive fan of Sergio's, but he was well foolish this time around)

Paul is firmly an establishment figure. You won't hear him express an opinion in the manner of say a Johnny Miller or Nick Faldo.

Rikand

I really want Woods and Garcia to win though because if people think the tension with the Kuchar match is intense right now. Sergio/Tiger could go off the charts!

Yes, that would be fun to watch although I think Tiger mentally would intimidate him.

Tiger always dresses well, except for the shoes. It's rare I see any pro wearing shoes I like.

To be honest, I don't think either of them emerges with any credit from that fiasco. Sergio demonstrated his petulance yet again. Kuchar has managed to alienate anyone who still had any respect for him after caddygate.

abff

Googled Sergio just now. One of the questions that came up was "where did Sergio Garcia grow up"?

Not sure what to make of that question as it clearly hasn't happened yet.
