I like Fowler, dresses like a dick but then again so did I when I was his age. Seems like a nice lad.

You haven't seen the cringeworthy "golf boys" video then. Tw@t.

[Diggers]

I've seen it and thought it was a bit of fun. I actually admire someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously which they clearly didn't when making that. Better that than being a grumpy so and so.

[super_realist]

There's not taking yourself seriously and there's being a tw@t.

Nine Chins swing is RUBBISH isn't it?

[Diggers]

The list of things that aren't Muppet seems to grow ever shorter for you mate. I'm struggling to remember the last positive comment you made about anything.
Not seen Tigers swing or any golf, been at my daughters schools sports day, first in the beanbag race but pipped on the line in the sprint, schoolgirl error of slowing before the finish and looking around her. Some 5 year olds just don't listen!

[beninho]

Your daughter started to showboat before the line?

[super_realist]

Thought schools has done away with competition.

[incontinentia]

Poulter +3 after 5!!   

[super_realist]

Poulter +3 after 5!!   

Writing him off after 5 holes?

[beninho]

leading score tonight -4/-5?

[pedro]

He has probably written himself off.

[Diggers]

Yep, but she learned her lesson and beat all the boys in the next race, not that I'm competitive Dad or anything.
Loads of competitive sport at school still Super, no different from when I was kid to be honest. One of the reasons we like the school is that the deputy head is big into sport.

[super_realist]

Sounds about right Ben. Maybe a rogue -6 if someone can be accurate with longer clubs. A lot of irons off tees so far.

[pedro]

Coco at -3. I wonder how he'll fare tomorrow.

[beninho]

so who backed Oda?? Or who has even heard of him?

[incontinentia]

Poulter +3 after 5!!   

Writing him off after 5 holes?

+4 after 8!!!    

[EmmDee57]

Fowler will win a major soon enough, hopefully this week. He has the game for it.

[beninho]

Tiger is like the Germans, you can never rule him out. -2 after his start.

[incontinentia]

Woods to -2  

[incontinentia]

Fair play to Poultry, eagle-birdie to get back to +1   

[sirbenson]

Surprised no one is at -5 or better yet....


Wind has slightly picked up.

[super_realist]

WIn a major? He should try winning more than one tournament first.

[kwinigolfer]

Italy beating England again . . . . .

[beninho]

-5 for Rory...he will be level par by end of tomorrows round though.

[sirbenson]

Wow, both Molinari's on -4!

[beninho]

good to see mateo showing some form. gets overshadowed a lot in the promising youngster stakes

[super_realist]

GOt bets on Koepka, Francesco Molinari and Bjorn. Looking good so far.

[sirbenson]

Mcilroy is going to win isn't he....ewwwwww

[sirbenson]

I got Koepka in the US OPEN.....One of a small number of good best I have made....Hugely underrated, such a powerhouse

[Diggers]

Not that relevant anymore, days of players winning stacks of events is gone for now. Fowler seems to play well in the big events, which is the way it should be really. Can certainly see him winning this week.

He's got the game, just a bit of a bottle job I think, plus he looks like a tomato about to explode

[Diggers]

Has he bottled a major? Never been in contention right at the end I don't think, though I could be wrong. Still only 25, plenty of time for Rickie yet.

[super_realist]

Bottles tournaments in general, not alone in that though. OFten in contention, almost always falls away.
At least he's better than another failed "promise" Jeff Overton.

It's still one more than you're ever going to win.....

Christs sake, let's not get into a stupid "you can't criticise someone unless you can do it" Sound like a 16 year old.

[beninho]

Rickie may never have one a big event, but i cannot recall him bottling one. I cannot recall him bottling any event really.

[kwinigolfer]

Hoylake looking terrific - in the sunshine.

Wonder how it will look Friday & Saturday?

Realistic par-71 right now.

[incontinentia]

He certainly has impressed at the Ryder cup, and is a phenomenal putter.

Twice as old as you sound on 99% of your posts then.......

[AlciG]

Ohh boy... the reactions here if that would have been Tiger breaking his club in 2

[kwinigolfer]

Only one English Pro currently under par (-1). Pathetic.

[Diggers]

Loving my last second decision, based on nothing at all really, to throw Manessero into my 6 for the Open comp.

[sirbenson]

Jeez Stenson has fallen apart since putting off the green.

[Shotrock]

Wind comes up and it could be a very different afternoon. If you played this morning -- and are not in red figures -- you missed a heck of an opportunity.

[incontinentia]

Who was it?

[sirbenson]

Stenson broke his club in 2

[mystiroakey]

Tiger looks happy  .... 

[super_realist]

Tiger looks happy  .... 

Has he got his Jack Dee face on again?

[mystiroakey]

He is shouting at the crowd and swinging his club about and huffing and puffing.

[incontinentia]

Stenson broke his club in 2

not the first time, Pretty impressive score from E.T. Woods...

[beninho]

But people kept saying Woods was finished, he had no chance, his swing was rubbish, his back is gone, he wont even make the cut...
