Oh Jason Day is playing....wasn't sure with the coverage...

Why  would you want  watch JD when you can watch Rory the real number 1  lol...... Good to see your still around Billy its   Tedthewolf  used to enjoy your posts on PL.

How has Day got to drop that ball there? would like to know if he got the ok from a ref.

advertising board--got lucky

I mean the one from the  sprinkler head over back of the 9th, looked to be closer to the hole to me.

looked at it sky +

putting green --nice drop

hours play---so day prob will hav 16/17/18 sat

what a shot day 14th

Hitting it like Rory and putting like Jordan.  On form like this hard to work out how he ever loses.

johnnythebull    14 May 16 16:50 
we've seen an aussie 5 shots clear at one stage in rnd 3 in Mauritius absolutely brick it
deja vu about to eventuate in Florida
bet like men and lay the f*ck out of this choker

Amateur hour from Rory.   Doesn't half give some shots away.

did garcia just 5 putt from 8ft at the 5th 

Shot 8 in the hole
Shot 7 putt 6 ft 3 in., 2 ft 0 in. to hole
Shot 6 putt 8 ft 1 in., 4 ft 1 in. to hole
Shot 5 putt 10 ft 1 in., 5 ft 3 in. to hole
Shot 4 putt 13 ft 7 in., 5 ft 3 in. to hole
Shot 3 79 ft 7 in. to green, 8 ft 6 in. to hole

Going to see a few meltdowns on the greens, they've seriously let them bake, think they've over-reacted to the low scores, could just become a farce.  Pars will do it for Jase.

Sergio might as well just permananetly paint his nose red and die his hair multi colours

Greens the colour of Dale Winton's face, wind blowing, and stimpmeter off the charts. Some big numbers out there.

Normally you'd think Day is pretty much home and hosed, going by the scores and who he is, but not so sure in these conditions, which must be 'extreme' in anyone's language.

That the greens are being dug up on Monday might mean the greenkeepers have let them go beyond what they usually would.

Boring........ Players normally more exciting than this.

Any comparisons between Day and Woods can stop here.

First Woods would not have choked as Day has today and second he would not laugh like a little girl at a bogey

I agree with  Johhny. Day will choke this like Dodt earlier. These Aussies are feeble nowdays.

Good bye Day

Any live streaming links please?

This is turning in to a bit of a farce

thanks Hank

Choke! ££££££££££

Day has completely melted before our eyes! Go Rory and boss him.

Yeah no probs. What do we think is leading at the end of the day? -11 for me

Baking the greens is such a cheap way of defending a course.   Just a joke now.

This is magnificent to watch.

Best player in the world my arse! He is a choker, plain and simple.

How anyone can compare Day to Woods is laughable.

Chapple and The **** have made this look easy.

This Day choke could take the attention away from Spieth in the future. Greens are making a mockery of the game too

I think I've figured out how avoid hitting a putt 8 feet past the hole.  Don't hit it so hard.  Do I win 10 pounds ?

Yet another choke from Day. A mental ponce.

I wonder if his back will flare up again?

202 8 iron ffs

Day had the chance to win it and he duffs a 5 footer

Lol and he plays the 17th like a ten handicapper

Canaletto you really are a pr1ck of the highest order.

I think you mean Day is Chardick?

And now he plays his put like a journeyman!

Going to give back his bridle straight away.

Folded is in a pretty poor **** state if Spieth and Day are number 1 and 2.

Golf

some fun & games out there y'day
greens like ice rinks
found out most of these pampered feckers
Day adapted well on his last 10 holes
i'm not a fangirl..he can show brittleness BUT he can putt and some save on 15
i think the collective whining from the cossetted players will probably lead to an 'easing' of 'conditions'
in respect of the pin positions and speed of the greens..however maybe they may let things stands
would make for an uber interesting final round but i think they will be 'forced' to relent somewhat
Knox..what a woose
wee mac..five 3 putts..37 putts..overrated flat track bully
can only play in benign conditions
bet like men and get on this aussie good thing

Any thoughts on the greens today?
More of the same or will they listen to the millionaire cry babies?

difficult to see what they can do to improve greens , maybe flags can be better located

augusta seem to manage pins so much better than most

Watch the early starters then you will have an idea what the greens will be like.

http://www.pgatour.com/competition/2016/the-players-championship/pinsheet.html

Another choke from Day. Within 8 feet and missed

Loads of money has laid off Day after that

Another Green missed.

And another putt missed.

Best golfer in the world? **** off is he.

Now in the bunker

Now in the hole

Boring..............

You must be pretty red on this choker right canaletto?

Rorys putting becoming a real concern...quite embarrassing at times,reminding me very much of Mr Garcia now!!UNFORTUNATELY...

One of the best fields of the year and the only guy keeping it interesting is Ken Duke.

few sheckles for a top five finish been left up..........

Gone

Not like there's a golf event going on Sky

Day collapsing at last... some excitement.

Short game masterclass.

Best chipper in the world

Quality

Truly pathetic putt from Kooch on 16.

What a fking windbag.

From the scores surely it is all over now and Day cruises in.

Yip sure looks like it he has been different class this week.

Would be fun if Day went into the water twice on the 17th.

Dry on 17, game over

Well done Day.

He certainly put all the others completely in the shade - the likes of McIlroy and Spieth didn't even get a look in.

This year was so boring.

Not if you were on Day...

Amazing melt down as predicted by that windbag Canaletto.

Only won on the snaff by 4 shots and has won 1/3 of his tournaments recently

Oh i had Day from the beginning @14.5... but winning isn't enough for me. I like to see the usual thrills, chases, blunders etc that makes golf exciting. I do hate runaways winners.

7 wins in his last 17 events.  Wonder if he will go off shorter than Rory next time out?

Ski...

If your 1000/1 shot was 5 shots ahead, I bet you wouldn't be willing the rest to catch up!

Fair enough... so long there is some excitement.

Is it excitement, or mental torture!

To put things in perspective...

Jason Day won 7 times in his last 17 tournaments...Tiger has done that 7 separate times in his career, yes 7 !

2017...
