I almost didn't realise an actual major was starting today. I just hastily chucked some bets on. Rahm to win, Woodland, Todd and Wallace each way.

What time does it kick off our time? Working from home is going to make watching this a doddle..

Coverage starts at 6 on Sky. Can't seem to find any info about featured group coverage earlier than that, so think it must just be a 6pm start. Looking at the tee times though it surprises me there's no featured group coverage - the likes of Rory, JT, Tiger, DJ, Koepka, Rose, Spieth etc all tee off a good 90 mins before the coverage starts.

WFH time will have to be spent watching the cricket instead

Ah what the hell! That's ruined my afternoon.

There is an 8 hour time difference between us and this venue so that gives an idea of what we will be seeing and at what times. I know I wont be seeing the winning putt live

Fingers crossed for a forecast of a big Sunday storm so they have to move the tee times forward

Easy there,
I'm ok with it finishing around 5-6pm local time, that's good timing for me watching the closing holes live
(usually the US majors?PGA tour are a right pain)

Found a really solid stream of the Featured Groups, nice start for TW, -1 and just missed a decent chance at another birdie. Fast start for DJ too.

To finish in the top 10 my 365 bets are
Koepka 6/5
Justin Thomas 6/5
Bryson De 7/4
Matt Kutcher 15/2
Gary Woodland 9/2
Steve Stricker 40/1
Tiger 3/1
Furyk 18/1
just to keep me interested.

I have leishman for a slightly tragic top 20.
Tom Lewis similarly. I've never wasted money on him before, but now seems as good a time as any...

 

[Dan2501]

Eugh, not ZJ please.

Nice fightback from Rory. Thought he was set for a shocker after losing one in the penalty area on 14, has comeback nicely.

Early signs are this is a good looking golf course, looks well set up too, not sure they planned on Kaymer and Zach tearing it up though lol

They know how to win....

i guess were gonna see how far Bryson hits his 3 wood for the rest of the round now lol (cant believe they havent got this on camera)

 

[fundy]

maybe not lol, maybe he just hit it that hard he broke the kraken haha

 

[hairball_89]

The disappointment in Nick Dougherty's voice when he realised Bryson didn't break the club in anger was akin to how most watching it felt I thought!

But, given how it broke it would have been grossly unfair to not allow him the replacement, as much fun as it would have been watching him hit 3 wood everywhere!

huge amounts of niggly comments from the commentators since he bulked up, desperate for his "alternative approach" to fail, doesnt help none of them got it out much past 270 lol

McGinley just said something special happening in his career’ it’s not all snark

Bryson is a circus every time he tees it up just now and Whether he’s good or bad it’s excellent entertainment - and Brooks’ gentle trolling of him is too

excellent entertainment, for sure, hes breaking new ground, ground some couldnt even have dreamed of, doesnt justify some of the jealous bs thats coming from some in the comm box though imho

cant wait to show the negative side of him, and almost every positive comment is tinged with a caveat
