So all the prime time USA sporting events come on in the middle of day?

Tom Watson is great as a guest analyst...not a better authority on British Open strategy alive.

Yeah. Only thing I'm dreading is when football starts the noon and afternoon games are 3-6 am. I made it work during the euros so I think I'll manage. I loved listening to Tom there.

Yeah I guess the early college and NFL games really suck. Good thing most of the good college games have been moved off that 11am slot and into prime time or late afternoon.

Wtf is Bubba doing. I swear he makes it so much harder on himself.

Never seen Spieth cuss himself like he did a few minutes ago. Bubba is basically impossible for me to root for, not only does he seem like a world class jerk, his game is so stupid sometimes. Unless it's an Augusta type, traditional American course he will make a fool of himself trying to force shots he has no business taking.

Agreed. I enjoy watching Bubba melt. Spieth is just falling apart. I'm hoping Stenson keeps it up later today.

I wonder if Spieth got too cocky after last year and lost focus. Also, Faldo seems much looser and more entertaining when teamed with a broadcaster with an actual sense of humor, which Nantz has none.

I've really enjoyed this commentary team so far. I told my buddy that a few months back. It's gotta be hard being that young and finding that much success. Hopefully hes got a good team around him who will keep him down to earth.

I'm surprised the bars there are playing The Open, I just saw an Aussie Rules game Live on Fox Sports 1 and figured that would be all over the TVs there...or has the Jason Day factor changed that?

Saturday night rugby and afl games are on but golf is still pretty popular. Jason Day lives in Brisbane which is where I'm living so he's really popular. Adam Scott as well. It's mainly just a reason for people to bet and drink. The sports betting is just as popular here as in England.

Aussie rules is actually pretty damn entertaining. The 3rd game of The State of the origin (rugby Queensland vs. NSW) was last weekend and that shite was so boring but the people go bonkers over it.

He has to take advantage of the front 9 like he is doing. If he can put up a few red numbers on the back it could get interesting.
