And another at the 2nd!

Did Bowditch take 4 putts from 6ft at the second?

I wouldnt pay much attention to the shot tracker.

Saying Herman had a nice long putt at the second and the golf channel are saying it was a tap in birdie.

HighLine

Not sure on the accuracy of it... but the slopes of the green feature on Shot Tracker is fairly cool. Click on an area of green and the breaks will show up.

It says on the bottom each tee tick represents 5 yards

Looks like maybe tee locations but not marked up (if the tee is forward or not etc)

Fowler off to a double bogey start!!

Mantis Toboggan

Anything level or under would be a great score today

Mantis Toboggan

I'm going to guess the winning score of - 12

whatawaster

From the early scoring it looks like it could be a bloodbath out there today.

Seve OB

when a group gets to it.

tayto lover

The lack of coverage so far is annoying me.

Rikand

Featured groups were alleged to have started at 2:15 PM ( in work so cant check)
Amen Corner from 4PM

Jayop

Has anyone mentioned the lack of coverage yet?

5 on -1 already. Robert Streb having a mare here, he's +4 through 8.

Pierce_1991

Not even getting shot tracker on the PGA site

Jayop

Oh and if anyone's interested the Guardian has a good live update service for this. Good amount of detail in there at each update.

Wiesberger moves to -2 with a birdy on the 7th.

There's a fancy (although more awkward to use) one on the masters site:

I downloaded the Masters app and I'm able to watch the featured group on my phone at work. Great group they picked too with 2 of them under par.

Very easy to get working on your phone but I can't say here.

It is a bit more awkward but definitely cool, cheers

12 of the 38 players to have completed a hole are under par. Conditions don't look to bad here on screen. Tree's are swaying a little at the top but apart from that it looks perfect.

Was thinking the same and then they go to 7 and flag is gusting big time

kiers47

The "average apart from putting" World no. 2 is lurking around the top of the leaderboard early.

you should be ok there as it is a legitimate app

RikkFlair

Time for a Frenchman to win a major, only been 100+ years, Victor going nicely.

Allez le Dooby :pac:

It is, but you can't watch it in Ireland as it's blocked regionally. Don't want to say much more because the rules on talking about streams are pretty strict.

ah ok, I just thought it was a feature of the app. ive not even tried to log onto it so didn't realise it was blocked here.

Is Bryson turning pro on Monday? or is he waiting for the US Open?

Unless he changed his mind he's turning pro next Monday which means he'll have to re-qualify for the 2 Opens.

No one has got to -3 yet so id say it's tricky conditions, rounds under 70 will good today.

tayto lover

Aahhh this is rubbish. Feck the Par 3 competition. Show the real golf FFS.

-3 for Jordon after 8, very good start

yipsnomore

His short game is unreal so far. Putting hasn't been tested due to great chipping. If he gets through 10-12 unscathed he could shoot a 66.

Depending on conditions in the afternoon McIlroy might be happy with a 70.

I think he'd be happy enough only 4 back so long as he gets the best of the weather in the morning.

Horrible break for Cheng there...wicked kick left on 11, ended in the water

Featured groups on the red button if you've sky

HighLine

Jordan and co really have got the lucky end of the draw. I just hope he isn't 6/7 under after round one and the later guys struggling to go around level.

eurokev

I'd this on TV now?

Keano

Some of it is on Sky Red Button

HighLine

Fowler having a bit of a shocker at 13.. looks like a double coming up. Edit* Make that a triple bogey 8

Mantis Toboggan

Darren Clarke into - 1 after 5

live coverage on Sky Sports 4 will start at 8, even though the show starts at 7. they'll be talking crap for 1 hour.

i wonder should this info be put in the thread title seeing as how many people will be asking it?

Minderbinder

Hope it's a mistake but leaderboard has Ernie +6 thru 1 with a seven putt.
