Good. Westwood is a huge douche.

It's amazing that Phil is only 3 shots back.

Sky Sports announcer just said that anyone finishing 4 over or better after today will have a shot at winning on Sunday.

Only one player under par. Gary Woodland 2 under for the day. 1 over for the tournament.

Watson may be on the first page of the leaderboard when the day is over. Hell of a round thru 17.

Phil pulling his major disappearing act.

Clarke off to a hell of a start.

Looks like the leaders are catching a hell of a break with improving weather conditions.

Anyone else think ESPN is completely botching this coverage? They never give yardages of approaches to the greens, and they seem to pick and choose the shots they show fairly randomly.

In years past, they relied on the BBC for most of the video feed.

With the exception of Andy North & Billy Kratzert their announcing talent sucks.

Damn, that's 2 short birdie putts Clarke has missed.

Agreed. Tirico is ok, but Strange and Azinger leave a lot to be desired.

How about Rickie Fowler. What a great round with 18 to play.

I think Azinger does a pretty good job as well as Weiskopf when he is on. Don't like Van Pelt chiming in and Tirico is bland, but at least he gets out of the way and doesn't insert himself like some announcers do. Largely their coverage is lacking.


Rickie Fowler closing strong -2 with one hole to play.


That OB tee shot earlier on the par 5 was the death bell for Wowry Maciwoy
The leaders are catching a big break if this calmer weather holds. Darren Clarke is hitting it perfectly but choking on the greens. Glover, Fowler, Campbell, DJ all have great chances to win.

Considering he's played most of the round in the crappy weather, it's one hell of a round. Makeable putt for 67.

Definitely. It's still going to be windy, but not having to deal with the pounding rain is a big advantage.

Fowler with 15 feet or so for birdie on 18 and a 67. That's lights out given the conditions he played most of his round.
