Nah, I understand he got less airtime now at day 2. But the amount of airtime for Woods is ridiculous.

Dear Colin Montgomerie:

Think of it this way: Rory isn't trying to win three straight events, he's trying to win the PGA. And given how well he's played lately, he's got as good a chance to do that as anyone. To think that i

Hope to see Fowler, Westwood, Furyk and/or Day match McIlroy's score by end of day. Rain is coming down though.

My point exactly. Somebody that high on the leaderboard deserves more.

He deserves his own channel

Peter Alliss is moaning about it actually on Sky and basically apologising that we have to take American coverage and that means everything Tiger (even though he's of no consequence to this championship now)

Yeah, fair enough. But at least he's an old guy. What about Stadler? And actually, far too many of the younger contingent are in appalling shape.

The more I practise, the luckier I hope to get.

Tiger is still news. More people want to watch to see if he finishes the round than care whether Joost Luiten is T2 going into the weekend.

That is a really sad indictment on the American golf fan if that's true

The answer really is to scrap the USPGA as a major and down grade it to a Pro-Am if all its been reduced to is a celebrity round

I'd be interested to know how many American golf fans really enjoy watching this? Or more to the point, who on earth the PGA thinks this is good television?

I'd rather watch a Joost featured group than this meaningless nonsense.

My fault, force of habit. But still the lament is the same. A Tiger fetish is starting to ruin the coverage. In fact he's appealing to Tiger to pick the ball up so the American networks can't cover him (although they'd probably stick a helicopter and cover hsi drive away from the course)

NO! Joost!..Jim Furyk plays so well but on par fives he commonly takes 5 or 6..

At least Tiger won't make the cut, so he doesn't get airtime the rest of the weekend.

Really?  A celebrity round?  I think Tom Watson said it pretty well earlier today:  "He is Tiger Woods."  Does he have more majors than the rest of the field combined?  (Obviously not, especially with Watson in the field, but you get the point.)

At the very least, the story of the circumstances surrounding his injury last week, and the withdrawal, and the completely unexpected appearance this week, is news. If you don't believe me, check how many comments the Tiger injury thread gained in the last five days.

Agreed.  Also, it's Friday.  This seems to happen every week, or at least every major.  People complaining all day Friday about how they are not showing the leaders.

We've got all weekend to watch the leaders.  Tiger won't be around to get in the way either.  Have patience.

It's rare to see coverage of Lee Westwood without mention of his great ball- striking. I know he's excellent, but the last two holes have been horrendous. How did he earn his reputation as a great ball striker? In 2011, he was T4 in that stat, but was outside top 50 in 2013, outside top 100 in 2014. Is there another stat where he stil earns this vaunted reputation? By the way, I'm a big fan of his! I don't want a negative vibe from my Q. I'm just curious because they always say "Lee Westwood, wonderful ball striker"

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
