Joined there. Going with Paul Casey. Very good match play record and I good form this year.

The Big Easy

Ended up with Stenson beating Kaymer in a repeat of 2010 I think and Reed beating Casey in the consolation.

Edit: It was 2011 and Donald beat Kaymer in the final. Wow my memory isn't what it was!

I have a Rory - Rosey final with Rory winning it

Spieth to beat Kaymer in the 3rd-4th place playoff

The Big Easy

Hopefully we get a Spieth Reed quarterfinal, would make good viewing.

Obviously a Rory Jordan final would be dream viewing but is very unlikely to happen.

Would have fancied poulter to do well but he is 4 down thru 8.

Hope we get to see a bit of Lowry v Gmac tonight

OffalyMedic

Rose struggling too. Leishman 3up thought 13.

Afraid I may have jinxed many of the top seeds by putting them in my beacket

Rose looses 3&2

This new format is going to make the first few days a bit boring really... no excitement of immediate elimination. I can see why they did it... keep the big names around for a few days but it certainly doesn't add to the show for viewers at home.

Always nice to see Poulter stuffed

He certainly did look a bit of turkey out there, chickened out on a few putts and it all got a bit unpheasant w-hen the crowd stopped egging him on.

Is that enough poultery jokes for one day ?

Have to agree, used to be one of the best night's of golf viewing in the year for me, but last night's was utterly tedious.

The problem I always found was that when you get down to the latter rounds, semi's and especially the final, viewing was pretty boring as there were so few games going on - no way to eliminate that unfortunately, but at least up until the semi stage this used to be well worth viewing. I don't think I'll be watching tonight anyway.

If only the tongue twisters on Bosco did stuff like this :-(

Agree. Too many matches to be able to follow the ebb and flow of matchplay and without that, it is just cameos. Three days of that is just tedium, while trying to keep an eye on your favourites.

I can appreciate why the players and broadcasters like it but for me, it only gets watchable on Saturday.

Should be about ten minutes time

Watching the highlights with Kevin Na playing. Jaysis, he's some bottler on the putts. Last 3 holes, 3 absolutely horrendous putts!

Pierce_1991

Rory really needs to get the irons going again. For the last few weeks he's been leaving himself to many putts outside of ten feet. He left himself a 20 footer at the last hole there when playing in from 90 yards. Needs to be better.

EDIT: He took my advice, lands his next iron shot to two feet :P

Sky barely showing anything of Rory!

Disappointing loss for Shane Lowry.

How does it work in the event of a tie? If Shane wins tomorrow and Fowler loses does Fowler still go through on a Head to Head?

Yeah he has Lowry and English covered. Lowry needed McDowell to win.

If Gmac won today and beat fowler and Shane beat English would have been a three way tie and a playoff.

Ah right, I get ye!

Pierce_1991

McIlroy v Horschel tomorrow for a place in the next round should be very good. Horschel has been playing some great golf so far, won't be easy for Rory.

kiers47

Sky lads should really do there homework before speaking. Now saying Schwartzel is through even though there is still a chance of a three way tie.

Pierce_1991

Jordan Spieth looking fairly unstoppable. He won yesterday with one of the best rounds of the day in terms of strokes. Today he's gone even better. He was level par and 2 Down through 5 holes, then went 7 under for the next ten holes and wins 4 & 2. Incredible putting once again, he really is a joy to watch.

Some of the negativity here is hard to believe. Many of us watch or follow almost all PGA Tour events, not just the biggies. I'd like to see if this thread works. It's handy to drop in on a thread and see what people are discussing. On a lot of them here, I like to click on the "Last Page" link, and take it from there.

If we the boards users don't like the thread, it will quickly drop away to 'net oblivion.

The first post by that person is a copy of one I made on 24/4/2013. (Page 2 of this thread, thought it looked familiar...)

I got a bit suspicious when he shot 9 over in Corballis and also posted he was just starting golf in another thread... but you never know sometimes.
