Phil finishes with a bogey on the last for -8. Rory -2 through 3..... defending champion.......

SnowDrifts · 30-08-2013 8:39pm

No coverage even on the red button/xtra. Very poor from Sky.

Pity he couldn't keep it up. With four holes to go, all fairly long, I reckon he'll do well to get four pars. Although it tends to be the short "easy" holes that he makes a mess of. I'm following on the tracker by the way, so I might be a bit behind.

Yeah - too many mistakes from him today after what looked like a promising start. But just after getting a birdie there to go 1 under. Resorted to watching the golf channel's coverage.

I swear, when I make predictions in other sports I'm normally quite good. Golf analysis just clearly isn't my thing.

Don't think anyone can predict Rory's scores this year :P

SnowDrifts · 30-08-2013 9:42pm

Rory follows up on the next with a 2nd shot 285 yard carry 3 wood leaving about 10ft for eagle.

10.5 ft according to the tracker. In fairness I did kind of backtrack after my initial prediction. Of course, when you essentially make two conflicting predictions, there's always a chance you'll get one of them right.

SnowDrifts · 30-08-2013 9:49pm

Yeah - changed it to 10ft when looked at the shot tracker. Missed it anyway but gets the birdie.

Rikand · 30-08-2013 9:56pm

Great run of holes from Sergio

Come on Sergio!

Topper Harley · 30-08-2013 10:07pm

Another good birdie chance missed by McIlroy. If he had have made that, I think he'd have owed me a nice big cheque seeing as how I seemed to jinx him...but in a good way.

Topper Harley · 30-08-2013 10:21pm

I can just see that McIlroy in 13 yards from the hole in 'native area.' Can anyone update me on what sort of lie he's in.

SnowDrifts · 30-08-2013 10:23pm

He was in light rough in front of the grandstand and got relief. He then half duffs his chip not reaching the green and is looking at around 8ft for bogey.

SnowDrifts · 31-08-2013 5:24pm

Great 2nd round from Garcia for a total -13. Just a shame we didn't get to watch either of his rounds.

SnowDrifts · 31-08-2013 5:58pm

And Rory has a double on the last for a -1 total - probably another missed cut.

Dolph Starbeam · 31-08-2013 7:38pm

Whats going on with Sky? Are they showing last years coverage?

SnowDrifts · 31-08-2013 7:46pm

They said they were promised 4 hours coverage from the host broadcaster today but only have 3 now. Will start in 15min. Highlights from last week on now.

Jesus lads that's desperate though, isn't it.

Here was me watching it for 10 minutes thinking where the hell did Gary Woodland come from and why weren't they showing Garica...!

abff · 31-08-2013 8:31pm

The cut is looking touch and go for Rory right now. -1 will probably make it, but it could go to -2.

GMac playing a bit better, but both Rory and GMac will have to up their game if they want to make it to the final week of the playoffs.

sydneybound · 31-08-2013 9:03pm

Couple of crazy chip shots by Mickelson in the last few holes, the man is a genius great to watch.

abff · 31-08-2013 10:18pm

Nice 66 by GMac to sail through the cut. Rory looks safe on the cut line at this stage. Bit of a meltdown for Phil. Could be playing with Tiger tomorrow.

Dolph Starbeam · 01-09-2013 2:50am

His most amazing recovery shot of the day. Shots like this is how he somehow managed to go around in even par to stay at -8.

All Phil could say about it afterwards was, "I've not seen anybody else hit that shot...it sure looks good."

GreeBo · 01-09-2013 3:04am

Maybe we should all be calling him figjam...

sydneybound · 01-09-2013 8:06pm

Phil at it again. Took a baseball like shot from the bunker, his ball way above his feet to the green, great shot.

SnowDrifts · 01-09-2013 8:08pm

It definitely was an incredible shot made look easy!

Felexicon · 01-09-2013 8:57pm

Actually finding this a bit boring. They're tearing the course apart. Far to easy for these lads at this stage of the season

I enjoyed the little bit of the Welsh Open at Celtic Manor I seen today more than this, although not near the same quality field the course was much tougher with a lot of players slipping up.

Dolph Starbeam · 01-09-2013 10:50pm

Nothing boring about it at all imo. Good to see a packed leaderboard up the top.

Benny Cake · 01-09-2013 10:51pm

2 hrs 50 minutes for 9 holes....

Their placing the ball too, you would think it would speed up things a bit but suppose they are faffing about the ball more.
