So what is the difference between being called Ireland for god knows how long and now its the republic?

It's mainly an Anglo-Irish thing. For decades after Irish independence, Northern Ireland retained the right to compete as "Ireland" in sports competitions. Irish teams, therefore, competed as the "Republic of Ireland" to differentiate themselves from their northern brethren, and as a jab toward Northern Ireland's status within the United Kingdom.

Lowry is looking shaky off the tee and on approach shots. He needs to take a deep breath and regain composure.

Announcer:  "Dustin did not ground his club, and that's the difference."

 

It's almost as if Dustin learned that lesson the hard way once before, but not when putting

About to be new ballgame.

 is it a waste area or bunker!

Announcer references the "cheap seats."  Hard to believe there are cheap seats at Oakmont.

Well we got a tournament now. 

[rolopolo]

Lowry sh*tting himself, will probably be all downhill from here

The worst phrase in golf: you're still away.

C'mon Lowry, make me proud. 

LET'S GO DEEJ!!!!

[Shindig]

Landry is now over par for the tournament.  Did he sleep last night?

Garcia found the cure for his putting woes, holes out from the sand.

[BallStriker]

SERGIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jamo]

Finding myself rooting for Sergio.

Did that close up of Lowrys lip out really show a Titliest ball?  The dude is wearing a Srixon/Cleveland hat lol.  I know a lot of guys play Srixon balls (including myself lol I love them) but what gives?  What does he play thats Cleveland Srixon?  I didn't even know anyone really still used Cleveland clubs aside from wedges

[RJH999]

My man Serg is going to get a little too nervous and it'll all be bad from here. 

[ChrisP]

Sergio and Piercy seem to be having fun out there. Seem to be pushing each other. The opposite happening with Lowry and Landry.

Very edgy everywhere - DJ's looking nervy staring down his tee shots, Westwood can't catch a break and the less said about the last pair, the better! So much for my thought that Landry's woes wouldn't affect Shane...
