someone let Coltart know that Bryson has hit more fairways than Wolff has and to commentate accordingly, really getting boring

Bored of listening to comms slating Brysons approach and telling us how sensational Wolff was when he hit 2 of 14 fairways (and 12/42 in the week, Bryson hit more than that 3 round total in 2)
Just wish theyd actually understand the approach both are taking is the same and treat them the same rather than lauding one and trying to knock the other at every opportunity
Making me want Bryson to win more and more lol
PS he has now

The funny thing is this was supposed to be the course you couldnt, but they cut the rough and watered the greens (like they almost always do)

Wolff hasn't played brilliantly but has scrambled well and had the breaks. He doesn't look fully in control imo so my money would be on someone else to come through the pack.

I believe it's Oestrogen and Soufflé.

Going to be 7 or 8 with genuine chances tomorrow, hoping they dry the greens out some more and then I think the front 2 will be there to be shot at and we could have one helluva finish

3rd and 18th in shots gained off the tee (Rory in 2nd)
Hard to argue with Brysons approach to try and overpower the course because they didnt make the rough penal enough that he couldnt!

What happened to Reed on the back 9, eight over!

Shots gained tee to green is clearly the best guide so far and driving it in the fairway is no barrier to that!
SG TTG:
1) Bryson
2=) Wolff
2=) Matsuyama
everyone with a chance is in the top 20

No surprise with reed some of his attempted escapes were poor. The commentators were highlighting the technical issues at set up, too much loft, too open etc .. and they all dropped back in the rough.
Wolff is interesting but his swing could fall over easily, I think he is streaky, and for his sake the streak keeps going... otherwise we will see him drop away like Justin Thomas

Makes Rory's round on day two look a little better ?.
I'm not sure that Wolff will hold it together down the stretch, could easily have a day like Reed. I'm still hoping Rory can have one of his better rounds, but I think Louis is the better bet, although I wouldn't mind Matsuyama sneaking it.

Yes, he's sussed it. Or, rather, they all have and have done for some while. It's just that in this rough, BdeC is long enough to make his second shot from the rough with wedges, 9s etc , so able to get to green ( by pitching on it, as opposed to chasing on it).
Nearly all the courses the pros play will allow second shots from going off the fairway. Non fairway is not penal enough.
Imagine if there were loads of gorse, bramble, or rhododendrons bushes for them to land in, where they would have to take an unplayable drop, or even go back to play again.?
Then they would have to straighten those drives!

I agree.
There was one player that played his second shot from the OTHER COURSE.
Might have been Bryson , I can’t remember for sure.
surely if your off the course you are playing that should be OOB.

Any of them can fall away. Reeds swing is as consistent as anyone's normally.
It was interesting to see the slow motion of Wolfs swing.
Twirly whirly backswing, but the downswing was classic. The bit that mattered.

That’s some swing plane.
But it works and he repeats it consistently, that’s all that matters.
I hope he wins.

Hope not. We have that at our club. Regular shots from main course often drift
( ahem, slice) to the fairway of the other course.!
I do agree with you though.

Reed has changed his swing to fade the ball.
It’s putting things in his normally good swing that aren’t usually there.
But it means he will overdo it at times.
Under pressure that might not work out.
But he dosnt hit it as far as Wolff and Bryson and it shows in his approach shots he can’t control it.
