Such a raw interview and FairPlay to him - some of the stuff being said about him just because he had a bad day on the course when he is trying his very best is pretty poor - listening to 5live this morning and there are so many great stories about him over the week especially with the kids and lots away from the public eye. Understand that he is staying around to watch - can only think this week will make him stronger

He has to learn from it. His start was an absolute car crash.

It will have absolutely crushed him physically and mentally starting with an 8.

Liking the jumper both Schauffele and Garcia are wearing, sort of 80s retro adidas look.

Els on the move, he couldn't could he?

Edit: Van Royeens trousers, just no.

I would love to see Westwood winning, I have been watching his career since seeing him play as a 14 year old.
Stenson may be worth a bet if I was a gambler. Weather may go against him tomorrow though.

What bad stuff as been said about him Phil?

Nothing bad has been said, it's been acknowledged that he made a good try at coming back but overall his effort for 2 days wasn't good enough, whether that's because of one or 2 bad holes is irrelevant. It's just a fact 36 holes score wasn't good enough from a player of his calibre again. Sadly some people can't accept that honest factual criticism and see it as a personal attack 🤷‍♂️

Unless I’ve missed something there’s been nothing bad said about him personally on here.
People just discussing his game.

Not really sure what the problem with that is.

How good is that ………….I tip him and then he gets back to back birdies.

Any chance of you tipping Fleetwood for me?

 

[Slab]

Seeing the birdie chances/course playability, if Rory isn't whipping himself with birch twigs right now... he should be

Westy's driving is still so damn good. Putter stays hot and he's got a real chance here.

JB Holmes plum-bobbing a 50 footer from off the green over a dune is just classic JB. Already a hole behind apparently, laughable that Dame Laura called him "quick" earlier in the week.

3 in a row. Come on Westy!

JB Holmes pace of play is a disgrace

Sky constantly going on about Koepka- yes we know he has had a good run in the majors 🙄

Some quality golf from the Westy , Fleetwood and Lowry so far

 

[Wolf]

The pace JB is keeping be lucky to finish the round in daylight...

Westwood is playing some superb golf really hope he can keep it up.

 

[Dan2501]

Always a joy watching JB. Hope he starts to implode soon.

prob the only occasion players will be hoping they are not in the last group on Sunday

The way Sky are covering you know when they suddenly go to a different player that isn’t in the challenging group or whose name isn’t Koepka they are about to hole their putt 😂

To be fair, the BBC always used to do that too.
Does make it a bit of an anticlimax though...

 

[USER1999]

Fratelli by any chance?

 

[huds1475]

It's easy to moan fellas.

In between all the slow play, terrible coverage and people not shouting fore, there's actually a great contest going on today @ Portrush.

Maybe try just enjoy it?

 

[Deleted member 15344]

😂 yeah - then Harding straight afternoon

Great round from Fowler

Westwood in a bit of trouble but what roar when Lowry sinks a putt
