Looked like Ernie just missed a backhanded short putt.

that was just sad. triple bogey on the first because he was pissed.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ERNIE

I'll be sick if mcilroy wins....I was disqualified from the contest because I didn't say 7 words and was the first to pick Rory. Scoring is good, but thought someone would go lower so far. Thought we'd see a 63 or 64. Still a lot of players under par. Wind supposed to blow tomorrow though.

I'm pretty sure you'd still have to be the closest to the correct score though. And a lot of people picked him.

He marked it as a formality until the pin could be taken out. He was on Phil's line so Ernie went first. He never even really got set. Since he was shocked it went wide, he reflexively reached out to backhand it back for an easy double-bogey. Then he missed that wide too. Geez He must've been rattled by hitting spectator on the first tee shot.

Yup. And unlikely -17 takes it.

Yup.

Justin Rose is going to win this thing at -10.

Peter Alliss just lamented that players these days never hit the ball straight. Then he said "look at Lee Trevino, he'd aim down the left side and hit one left to right down the middle of the fairway." So take that, young'uns! He also just said he's "not a huge, huge, huge fan of links golf."

Well he'll shoot 77 tomorrow, so this is not going to be an issue

That Tiger exchange this morning with the photographers was crazy. The guy has back issues already and for him to stop his swing like that could've been REAL bad!

Pity you can't read directions :-P

I think the only way Rory wins, is if they can change the calendars, and hypnotize him into thinking it is Thursday all four days ... then he will run away with this thing ...

[rehmwa]

I think I picked Sergio at -8.  either looks like they are still viable

I expect scoring to tighten up as the weather changes.  If not, there will be some words eaten....  ; )

(Rory leads on Thursday.......sigh)  I've stopped picking him, still would like it if he finds a 4 day streak

will have to do some internet searches, especially the club snapping....I think I was watching and just missed it

A bunch of random Japanese golfers playing well. Tsukada, Iwata, and The Legendary Assassin. Also, does anyone know if i can get a stream of this on my phone. I can't get watchEspn because I have Directv

Follow these 3 steps

Step 1. Call a good friend/relative,

Step 2. After pretending you care how they're doing, ask him/her for their cable provider log in information.

Step 3. Use information obtained from step 2 to watch golf.

You're welcome
