Speed of play is shocking

Really? It’s taking them about 5 1/2 hours to get round on one of the hardest courses in the world, for arguably the most desirable title in golf.

Play in a monthly medal at most clubs and it’ll take you close to 4 1/2 hours, and that’s on courses over 1000 yards shorter.

I know the greens are tough but the time taken over these putts almost sends you to sleep. Its not too noticeable because they jump around from home to hole to cut a lot of it out but it's unwatchable on the red button when they follow certain groups or a certain area of the course, it takes them forever

Tough isn’t the word. 6-8 foot putts with 2 or 3 feet or break on greens running at 14 or 15 on the stimp would make anyone take a bit of extra time.

It’s not just that though is it? Look at the shot Fowler just faced for going long at the 5th. Impossible up and down followed by a hard, hard 2 putt.

Did not expect my E/W bet on Casey to come back from the grave! What a round he's having.

Sssssshhhhhhh!

I’ve got him e/w too and he’s just dumped it in the front bunker at 17.

Sorry, my fault

Wonder if Reed will be able to afford a shirt which fits him properly if he wins this

[43034]

If anyone reads the RacingPost, Steve Palmer is on for a big win if Reed holds on

Good last nine for Tiger! Shame really....but maybe he just ain’t got it any more.

Rory for all four majors this year? What odds do you think?

Give him time. Hes still only a few months into a rehab after a back fusion op. I wouldn't write him off just yet.

5 Putts misses from under 8ft in the first 9 holes. He’s going to have to play the last 8 holes in 5 under...

Make that 6 missed putts.

[rsbmw]

I'd like to see Fowler take this, tall order though I think

[snake_oil]

Speith on another level!
