The tv coverage for today is a load of balls!! (not Sky's fault)

The first match is out at 5:50pm our time but yet coverage doesn't start until 8pm.

Could you imagine the TV coverage last night if it was Tiger getting in dispute with someone? We'd be lucky to see a shot played for the rest of the week.

We'd be lucky if it wasn't the lead item on US TV news.

I think it's the only way of getting a quick match against Matsuyama! Very slow. The guys on Sky recon that Rory hasn't got a chance of making the fight even if he walks his 2nd match.

Rikand

Someone tell Rory he has to play two matches. He cant leave for the Boxing match straight after this one....

The Big Easy

Just checked the latest scores, don't think I'll put the golf on tonight, the commentary team are probably creaming themselves :pac:

MythicalMadMan

That last 16 could not have gone worse for me :rolleyes:

49 now the lowest seed on the far side, Rorys to lose now cant see casy or furyk being able for him not sure about oosty.

Rikand

2 hours before anyone goes out again ?

Ah screw that, i'm off to bed.

happens quite a lot
maybe its their marketing idea.. get as many of the same thing in view, to make it stand out a bit more

Wake up RIKAND

bigtimecharlie

Just watching the end of the round of 16, (love the live pause), what Rickie Fowler did on 18 is proof that he may never a major. Almost a mirror of the 17th round 4 of 2014 PGA, prime position, middle of fairway, can't finish the green. Louis was brilliant with an approach from a worse position, game over then before Rickie let him have it

MythicalMadMan

3 matches left. Furyk makes a birdie we miss it, louis finds the water we miss it, we get a run down of what someone did yesterday or earlier furyk is one up gets in on the green next shot of the group he is 2 up going for green on the next. Its a joke I mean sky is bad when it comes to golf coverage but there is no excuse with 3 groups in play.

Slicemeister

Absolutely, endless ads and missed coverage.

Tobyglen

Agreed its so frustrating. Endless adds. 6 golfers on course and shots aren't been shown..

Tobyglen

McIlroy has played poorly, lucky to be within striking distance heading to 15

LuckyGent88

Ridiculous accuracy with the driver on 16 for rory. Hopefully takes advantage f the drive now

While I do agree that a lot of the time there is a serious amount of horse manure coming out of the mouths of the sky commentators, in fairness to sky, the pictures are not their fault. In America with the exception of a couple of events, they are using the feed from Yankee tv, so it is unfair to be blaming sky for the lack of golf on screen.

Seve OB

Why are they not playing the first hole?

Seve OB

Rory can't find the fairway..... Casey has to be favourite

qwabercd

This better be over by the time the big fight is in the ring! Mcilroy seriously struggling with the driver, surprised he didn't go for a long iron there to find the fairway.

Seve OB

Couldn't give a toss about the fight!
That was some putt
Maybe keep him in it

Seve OB

Thought that was it.... Live to fight another hole.... Get the driver right this time Rors


Casey has been putting great

LuckyGent88

What a ridiculous match

paulie21

McIlroy in danger of missing the fight altogether at this rate

Seve OB

I was going to say Rory has the advantage now..... But then I realized that would be the jinx, so I won't say it

Seve OB

Brutal miss

LuckyGent88

ah here, play another one ffs

Seve OB

Talk about an anti climax

Seve OB

They should have done a Bagger Vance and all got their cars out on the fairways

He struggled with the putter in the first couple of rounds. Same with the masters, he was really on it with the putter the first two rounds and then it went a bit cold on him at the weekend. He always was a bit streaky.

vienne86

Fell asleep watching this and woke when they were on hole 12, with Casey 2 up. Good man Rory pulling it back. God, I love matchplay.

He did miss the fight, but the ticket didn't go to waste

Big screen wha!

bigtimecharlie

I went to bed and watched the recording this morning, great to see Rory get it back. If Casey had birdies the 9th, it would have been game over. Rory birdie on 10 to be 1 down was the spark. Pity they have to finish it today.

HighLine

This could be over quickly... Casey not looking too healthy this morning. Apparently caught some sort of bug last night.

The Big Easy

Well done Rory!

For all the talk of the fight, that was pretty professional from Rory, on the tee for 6.45am and makes birdie to advance.

Par but Casey took 6
