I'm about to have a stroke over players dropping strokes. And it's only the first part of the round.

As of HIGH NOON and 10 minutes

Leader: 2-under (until he tees off and has a reality check)
Top 60 and ties: 15-way tie for 48th at 5-over
10-shot rule: 89 players at 8-over-or-better.

Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

Frank -

When I first turned on ESPN and heard Berman (I didn't recognize it was Berman until all of the talking heads showed up on the TV) I almost gagged. Although I like Berman for some things, I thought he was dreadful doing golf.

But, no matter how bad it is, it could always get worse; for example, it could have been Billy Packer !!!!

I don't see anyone below par after today...the cut could be 11 over

Paul Casey is the only one and he is -4 for today. He likes something out there!!

I'd be so happy if Bubba Watson was in the top ten heading into Saturday. I'd make things a ton of fun to watch because I'm Bubba's number 1 fan.

You guys are right on about Berman and his golf coverage. I think he's great on NFL Sunday Countdown, but golf? Not his best fit in my opinion.

Here's to hoping Angel Cabrera throws out a few bogeys on the way in, BIG difference in the cut from -1 to +1 for the leader.

Seems to be a helluva struggle out there today, good players struggling everywhere.

Watch out for Toms!!! Solid golfer.

I love watching Phil but today I guess that was a bit of a whinge after the round.

[CG031]

Come on guys, Jump on the Bubba Watson bandwagon!!!

Hes always has been my favorite golfer but come on guys this guy is better then advertised.

As you all might know my favourite golfer is Bubba Watson, so i just had to post a reply on this thread, awesome to see him up there in a tie for 1st (especially the US Open) and nice also to see his close friend Boo Weekley hanging on in there at +7..... come on Bubba, you can really do it!!!!!

^if anyone wanted to use the rally sig.

[RKO]

Watched the entire 2nd round today, wow that's a lot of tv haha. pretty good stuff so far, those greens are like hardwood floors.

ps. Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain to me why Adam Scott putt the ball with the toe of his putter from the fringe? Why didn't he just putt the ball normally? (1st round coverage).

[kevin]

A tip of the hat to Paul Casey..what an incredible round!

Cabrera and Watson are playing very good...

Too bad about my pick Ernie Els...at least he made the cut.

Others I thought who would be in the thick of it like Furyk really faded back in the pack today. It will be hard to get back in contention Saturday and Sunday.
