^ I'm starting to agree. Pavin is butchering players' names. The first 2 rounds there were all kinds of big-name players within a few shots of the lead who never made it on tv once. I like flesch, but he can't keep up with whether a putt is for par or birdie.

Lost in all of this for us UK fans is that JB is still at -1. If he can somehow win I take back everything I said about the tournament and the course.

I agree about the coverage but this is FOX's first attempt at golf. If you are old enough to remember when they first got football everybody was scared. As it turns out they were very innovative and are still probably the best at it. They were the first with the first down line and the time and score in the corner.

The absolute worst of all the Fox group this week is Curt Menefee. And it's not close.

Well, it may be the first time they've done this, but it isn't rocket science. They should've been paying attention to the people who are good at broadcasting golf for the last 40 years.

I will go ahead and take Jason Day to win this even though i will not be surprised if its a relative no name.

I think Tiger will make the cut and finish top 25. I know most will take that bet but the fairways are relatively generous so he wont have to hit as many drivers and he can avoid chipping for the most part by having long putts. Regardless of what he does this course suits what little game he has right now. His longer iron game and putting have been fine which i think come more into play this week.

Holly Sonders is terrible & these forced interviews couldn't be any more awkward. [sick]

She's getting ripped to shreds on the Twitter for the Kisner interview and rightfully so. Embarrassing.

STFU. He was struggling to get the gd tee in the ground and he picked up 4 shots the last 7 holes.

Used to. Just last Sunday so far this year. Love the layout, love the creativity you need around the greens,pretty easy off the tee, but the bunkers suck and fairways need to be softer. When I first played it in 98 or so it was unreal plush.

The coverage is awful. They couldn't find anyone that knows more about golf than Menafee and Buck? The post round interviews have been just down right awkward.

No idea who to root for tomorrow. I'd be happy with any of those tied except Grace. Might have to pull an Adrian and cheer for them all. :rolleyes:

If you told me before the tournament these guys would be within a shot or two of each other going into Sunday I would say sign me up. Not a fan of the course, but it's going to be a fun day. Have to go with Spieth because he is the best putter of the bunch (although he looked pretty off yesterday).

Did anyone else think JB's caddy let him down on 17 and 18? Way over clubbed (PW?) on 17, leading to a bogey, and even I was thinking that 3 wood was too much given the direction of the wind on 18, and sure enough, he pures it way over the green again. Was lucky to make par. Had he finished par, birdie, would have a hell of a chance today. As it is, he is 3 behind four different players, hard to see all four of them throwing up on themselves.

I blame the BS course and not his caddy. Like I said earlier, some people's jobs probably need to be lost because of the course and set up.

Fox's coverage has been really bad.

The course really is not good. Guys have hit some great shots and get penalized for it.

Look for the course to be crazy hard today.

Rooting for JB and then DJ and Speith in that order.

Got to root for JB and Jason Day today. Hope JB pulls it out but man what a story it would be if Day wins.

I guess I just put Louis Oost...... out of my mind since he played with Tiger and Fowler. Where did he come from?

South Africa. (rimshot)

And like Rory he missed about 3-4 putts inside 4 feet yesterday. Should have shot 63 instead of 66.

It's not a coincidence that everyone at the top of the leaderboard is relatively young. The course is grueling, both mentally and physically. That benefits younger players.
