The Sky announcers just said, that Rory probably doesn't want to win another tournament before the Masters, because then he would be the top favourite.

I'm sure that is on top of his mind...

Tiger's dilemma: his achilles tendon, which has been injured and reinjured, is acting up again. Should he gut out the rest of the round and maybe lose another season, or should he stop aggravating i

So...Tiger leaves without giving an interview & that makes him a crybaby? Feel free to not like him. But don't make up shit to fit your opinion.

I agree, I think Phil's focus this week, and the next few weeks are geared towards Augusta. Winning a tournament takes a lot of concentration and energy.

Phil will relax and prepare before going to the Masters.

No side is really any more difficult than the other. The whole key to Doral is the wind. If it's not blowing it's really not a hard course. Norman once shot like a zillion under back in the early 90s to win.

There's a handful of potential train-wreck holes: #4, #8, #10, #13 & #18. The rest are 370-420-yard par 4s with little or no water in play, and many of them are doglegs, so they can damn near be driven by the pros.

That just may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Keegan Bradley must have the highest driver distance to arm muscle mass in the world. He's got really scrawny-looking upper arms.

[IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/c6e4ea75-7013-079a.jpg[/IMG] We followed Bubba and Justin who turned out to be the leaders. Bubba just bombed it today and when he blew it by Justin on one hole said how'd you like that rocketball?

Not the worst of decisions made today

Tiger couldn't score worse today, even if he tried...

NBC/Golf Channel has an infinite amount of resources and they can't even find two videos of Rory McIlroy swinging the same club with the same DTL camera angle?

They pointed out that his spine angle had changed. The only problem with the comparison was that he was using two different clubs. One short iron and one long iron.

Exactly, plus the 2009 video was from a much lower angle.

Didn't see the 'no cellphones allowed' warning, eh TourSpoon?

At the Honda if you checked your phone someone was on you. Today, it was just very relaxed and I snapped a couple when we were in a very small gallery. Doral is very spectator friendly in the way the course is laid out so you can see other players on the opposite nine. We did watch Dustin and Jason Day hit it in on 18 with Dustin missing it big. Other notables we saw were YE, Vijay, Clark, Mahan, Phil, Scott, Watney, Tiger, Sergio, Charl, and others. At one point I saw Vijay's group (5 majors in that group) walking with no gallery at the furthest point on the course. The weather was warm with the usual March breeze so it was a good day to be there.

He missed a lot of makable birdie putts. Burned a lot of edges.
