    I thought it was very enjoyable, possibly the best non major/ryder cup televised golf I have seen in a long time

    Tiger was absolute fire - very quiet on the mic though
    Phil was brilliant, gave some great insights around the green with chips and putts. Even when he hit a bad shot his inflight dialogue was great
    Brady (1 shot aside) was woeful. No way is he an 8 handicap. He played like a 20 handicapper. No driver in the bag, sliced every three wood right, chunked chips, walloped putts...
    Manning played solid - 6 handicapper and it looked like a fair enough rating. more than his golf he was alot more engaging on the mike.

    Justin Thomas and Charles Barkley were great on commentary also. All in all I thought it was great.

    Tiger seemed out of place in that format.

    Not sure he likes Phil and it was the ultimate Phil show.

    On the "best" - could we just all be just suffering nogolfcoronavirusitis :D

    Always wondered what was between a US handicap and a UK\IRL handicap. Must be between 3-5 shots judging from last night and my experience playing in the US.
    I'm around 13 and all the yanks I played with were convinced I was single figures. Was a bit embarrassing actually telling them my handicap. Made me look like a total bandit to them.

    Tigers mic was broken for much of the back 9. I don't think it was fixed.
