Watching Bubba on the 18th was the most infuriating thing ever. He needs to be slapped when he starts whining like that.

I didn't see whining as much as WTF shock.

Yeah, he does the same thing as several other pros when they miss putts due to bad reads that they were confident in.  The big difference is that he doesn't give his WTF look to the hole or the sky or somewhere off in space, but directly at his caddie every time.  So it always looks like he's yelling at his caddie.

I love how you can clearly hear the roars in the distance on this course.

Rory appears to be taking the scenic route on this fourth hole.

That was a weird slice swing with a wood on that par 3 by Rory. Looked kinda OTT and awkward. Keegan +4 on Amen Corner today, taking him well over cut line.

Yeah but some are looking for something that isn't there. He can be a crab for sure but with that putt it appeared more like he was asking Ted "can you believe that". He didn't have a reason to rag on Ted for anything. Unless I missed it I didn't see him anywhere near Bubba when he was lining up the putt.

Phil needs birdie to make probable cut (+4). Decent drive but he's not too thrilled with it. Update: needs a 40 footer I think,with what Faldo says is. "sideways golf"

I agree .. but I was talking more about the perception.  People see the face of exasperation and can't hear the words, and they remember that video from last year that Kieran just posted, and they think "Oh, here he goes again, blaming his caddie for his screw up."

This may be petty, but I hope Reed misses the cut so I don't have to watch him strut around in his Tiger Woods Underoos on Sunday.

[Chilli Dipper]

No weekend golf for Phil.

That is pretty petty. I'm kinda hoping he misses the cut too, but just so I don't have to listen to everybody complain about him.

The "top 5" comments weren't even clever the first time.

It's still possible that the cut will move to +5.

[boogielicious]

I hate when these past champions, well past their prime, take up a spot for more deserving player. Oh wait, Freddie is -3, Jose M. O is even, Mize,Langer +2.  Guess they can play after all.

[Dave2512]

So now that Bubba is done doesn't feel as exciting. Now or very soon would be a good time to bail on work and head to the course. Already got my shoes on.

[pumaAttack]

Rory gets another one back!

Now to just avoid those bogeys Rors...

Correct. Wasn't clever for Reed to say it the first time, let alone all the others

[RandallT]

It's possible. There are 4 guys on the course at +4, 4 guys on course at +3, 3 guys on the course at +2. It's playing tough now it seems. But 6 of those 10 need to drop to +5.
