McIlroy regrets not taking the eel option, gets food poisoning, makes funny use of emoticons, Branden Grace 1st round lead.

Toss it Stenson. COME ON, TOSS IT!!!!

McIlroy 10 back, but at least he's not tweeting stinky air emoticons.

No roots, right? 

 

Don't worry kiddo, most of that is water.

Fowler tours Shanghai, tries to play the drums, iron shot rebound tags a fan, gets stared at by concession van guy (that's the best part imho - dude is like who is this?)

 

Spieth longest drive, 337.

Ian, Ian, Ian, Ian can't putt Poulter.

i know nobody cares because TW isn't playing, but some pretty good golf going on here for us fans of the sport.

Spieth could have gone really low, he missed several short putts and still shot 63. Food poisoning is a bitch, thus it's hard to fault him but Rory's putting is pretty bad. It's becoming the norm rather than the exception since his return from the ankle injury.

I've never seen 1 player in a group opt out of playing the final hole or holes; he just walked the 18th while Kis and Grace played.  Odd decision on Knox's part, I think.

Maybe it wasn't you, but if it was… you can be a huge fan of golf and still only want to watch when majors are being played OR Tiger Woods is playing. Not watching a tournament that's on at a weird time of day does not mean you're not a "fan of the sport."

And yes, there is some good golf being played right now.

For me it's either majors or Bill Murray is playing...
