And ?

I'm sure all your dribbling posts have a point somewhere - you clearly don't rate McIlroy ,looking at the posts before the comps you expect him to miss the cut and were stating about his ranking going backwards ?

It's quite clear that McIlroy is getting close to his form after he has had some injury problems so far this season and it will be great when it starts to click for him - it will be superb for golf fans to see McIlory in full flow ( well apart from you obviously)

Spieth is quite clearly a supreme golfer whose mental strength and short game is outstanding - prob the best on tour and it helps him recover superbly from errant tee and iron shots

Both will win more majors in their careers and will be fighting each other for a number of years to come

Did anyone see a players caddie do aimpoint for him today for his putt[obviously] cant remember which player though

What do people think of that?

For me its worse than standing behind the women to line them up the fairway.

Might have been Kooch's caddy - certainly someone towards last group or two....
 
I find it bizarre that some posters seem to have such issues with some players.

It's a shame Mcilroy faltered today, when he was three under, after four, I thought he was going to make a real charge, but alas not to be.

Speith was excellent today, and barring any Masters esq disasters, I can only see this going one way today, especially if he carries on putting as he has done.

I'm a big Mcilroy fan now but he has to stop making ridiculous mistakes. He hits an iron on 10, i presume to stay short of the bunkers, and the blasts it into it. Spieth hit 3 wood straight over it. I'm sorry but that's 18 handicapper stuff. If your going to lay up short, bloody well do it!!

He highlighted this as bad club choice, in his interview afterwards, agree he needs to cut out these stupid mistakes if he wants to get back to winning majors.
 
Spieth's to lose but if Kuchar can get a fast start I wonder if Spieth will get jittery. Going to be a fascinating day but the way Spieth is putting you fancy him to make enough putts and convert up and downs to hold on. Can't see anyone making a sufficient charge from the back
 
It needs Kooch, Koepka and the rest to start fast and for Spieth to drop a couple early on.
If it gets to the 10th and Spieth's still got a cushion it'll be hard watching...
Wouldn't surprise me if Spieth is 4 or 5 up by 5.30 tomorrow.....

Don't disagree but at the same token it wouldn't surprise me if he has a bad start. I fancy he'll get it done with a shot or 2 to spare.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed that I'll miss most of it tomorrow as I need to travel through to the west to play a tie but it's not looking like being too exciting now and I should be back in time for Speith's coronation.

Of course, the golf gods might have other ideas.....

Good point but it is harder when your chasing sometimes its the other way around and he can get too aggressive.

Speith today was just fairways ,greens and great putting,no risk golf.
 
As a spectator I found the golf today was fantastic ................. but the tournament was fairly boring.
If the weather stays the same for tomorrow it'll be the golfing equivalent of Formula 1, so I really hope the wind blows so that we can see how good these guys really are when they come up against a great golf course AND inclement weather.
It could also bring a few other golfers into play too.
 
Far from over. Golf is a funny game.
