Charley Hoffman albatross

What the f*ck is happening with DJ?

DJ has 1 min to find his ball

No albatross, the 2 was on a par 3 The Euro Tour scoring guys must be relieving the other guys for lunch.

So good it was worth repeating.

pushed drive,pulled 4ft putt DJ..**** knows what else SKY....Cheers. Bumming him up for a week then dont show him playing first.embarrassing.

hav u backedDJ  Jedi

Back nine might have got easier, but looks like the front nine has got alot tougher.

pod played back 9 in - 1

Beem just said Johnson was all over the place off the range with the driver.

A couple of hours ago he stood behind Johnson on the range and said he was hitting it as well as you'd expect from a US Open Champion (or words to that effect), what is the point of reporting from the range if you're just going to spout banal cliches?

all over place driver--lets hit one off 1st tee

Late starters will be awfully unlucky if the wind switches again.

Sarah

get her off, get some golf on.

coverage is garbage by the way

DAYaster

+ 2

get her kit off

Okay SKY, enough of the Shot Centre during live play, I've no interest watching pros hit off a mat. Show live golf, by Jove. Splendid

Garbgae? I wish people would stop frigging moaning about the coverage.

DJ in trouble on 5. 12 footer for par.

Missed it. +2 now.

Sorry duff info from my mate following him.. it was his birdie putt on four he missed

JUSTIN LEANARD ONE OF VERY FEW ROYAL TROON WINNERS 100/1 @ 3 UNDER GOTTA BE BIG, YEAH???

Stenson you plonker... chip the ball next time.

What about 1000/1 @ 3 under!

Nobody has chipped it from there all day.

how's the WW 3-ball going

PHIL

He has them right where he wants em x

C'mon Phil The Thrill

Had to waste $50 on Leonard as well.

What he feck was that dusty. We've all been fooled.

Leonard -4

6 highest score postage stamp still

lol obv meant a thousand in my post

Way to go stenny

my boys have pulled their fingers out all of a sudden

kaymer

big phil

Remarkable that DJ has played the front nine in -1 imo... dont think he can play much worse than that.

colt knost the boyo to do well here imo

Ze German looking ominous

looked like that in french also and utterly imploded!!Kaymer...

Is Westwood playing?! Haven't seen a shot from him yet!

plus3 Lee John.

yes playing sh^t

VJ - 2 excellent play

Calc + 1 two to play respectable

The leaderboard is very compressed, about 10 shots covering all the field.
Bad weather tomorrow will spread out the scores, with about -3 best after 36 holes.

If weather comes as predicted par will be a good round

When Zach Johnson was playing his shot from the fairway Adam Scot and his caddy were standing at their ball 30 yards ahead on the fairway.
This is bad form imo.  They should wait until the shot is played before going to their ball.

This all looks very fortunate for late / early.

Tony Finau 67 today is out very early tomorrow and should get the best weather.

why? no real advantage tomorrow with late/early.

wind only five mph quicker in the afternoon but less rain. can't see any edge.

It depends on the wind forecast you use.
Windfinder.com for Barassie/Troon has the wind going from 9 knots at 7am to 21 knots at 4pm

Met office says 14 mph at 7am

met uk troon has a smaller rise, 14 mph to 19 mph

would be better if they just had weather like this all week then would be fairer, best player would win

maybe someone should give god a call

Had a power nap and now Mickle -6...oh er

59 players under par is unusual for the Open.

take your time kuchy...

Phil obviously likes the course, 3rd last time now this.

He's enjoying himself.

apart fro when they play the open at  the pitch n putt(st andrews) its my favourite tourney but naturally the draw  can have such a say i who wins, the back nine is two strokes easier this afternoon.

phil gone too soon. he'll blow up tomorrow

Best round he has played since the last round at Muirfield.

Wow, what a round.

Surely everyone other than Jonny Miller is rooting for a Phil birdie at the last.

got a shot at it

Feel better about that length than a nervy 5 footer.

am thinking of his putt in Phoenix for 59

Probably going to rattle it 10 feet past.

Ach.

Just like Phoenix...

ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh

He only implodes when your on!!Must be at least two,three shots easier back nine maybe more!!

Near perfect round from Mickleson.

Monty and few others saying about 3 over was par for back nine,not bloody now...

Haha, fair play to big Shane:

ShaneLowryGolf: That was big for me there. I would have never been able to come back from 16 behind. #phil

anyone else SKYGO crashed

Congrats Phil backers. Always does it when i fade him

46 year old 4-1 for the open with 3 rounds remaining?

best lay of all time for me.

Agreed lewisham. Laid full bank at 5.3, but I'll trade it.

Get some sleep man

Garcia just do something?

Happy with Bradley performance... should be around 30 not 100

Rory shouldn't be second favourite. Wind gets up tomorrow will not suit him.

Reed should be 12 to 14... only 3 shots behind Micky

I think Phil M will win

I think he may well run in to some fairly poor weather,unlike today!!

kjeldson had fewest putts 23

rain/wind from 8am getting stronger as day goes on

*can change quickly,like late starters for back 9 today
