just watched the highlights of Rory's round, tell you what if it was a Texas Scramble you wouldn't have used may of his shots.

They played in a two ball and I'm guessing the guys in your medal is three balls ?

Be nice if could hit it in the long round and have a steward find your ball straight away.
At my place you can lose balls in the normal rough just off the fairway, spent many 5 minutes looking for decent drives.

When he's playing like this Rory is so far ahead of everyone else in terms of ability it's scary! If only he was more consistent! So impressive to watch. If only he could hit the ball Forum distance too................
Would love to see him win it.
So far ahead yesterday but it would be close today, no disrespect but that's one massive U-turn Phil.
To be honest I'm in the 2nd camp where when all are on it would be close imo.
Speith's putting for me just gives him the edge but it just opinions.

The best round yesterday was 4 under by Zac Johnson, not a long hitter (on the tour) but one of the best putters.

With Zach Johnson being known as one of the best wedges players on tour and putting the ball very close regualry - it's what won him two majors so far

That's a reasonable shout. How much is McIlroy regretting those five dropped shots at the start of round one now? He'd certainly be close enough to Spieth to be a threat but not now

And your point is ?
you stated that hitting it longer gives you a better chance of winning but now you have done a full U-turn with that statement

What u turn ?
Zach Johnson is known as one of the best wedge players on tour and it has helped him win two majors ? Is there anything incorrect about that statement ?

again you point is ?
I am sure both have played a lot longer on tour than Speith.

No but you said it was a long hitters game and when someone mentioned a short hiter you came out with an excuse as to why they won rather than except it's more to do with getting the ball in the hole with the least amount of shots and nothing to do with being long off the tee

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.

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
