Malnati always looks good for a first day bet.

Wolffie is spraying it like a good 'un

Nice to see Speith putting a good back 9 together.

 

[USER1999]

Very unlucky bogey for Xander.

slightly OT - given the new Restrictions on flights from UAE will the English golfers all have to do 10 days in a quarantine hotel when they return from Dubai?

 

[YandaB]

What are the rules on pro sportsmen?

I don't believe that they have any sort of dispensation - (certainly not in Australia for the tennis players). I also saw this article about Arsenal trying to get round the restrictions: https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-league-tie-benfica-covid-travel-restrictions

I think Hatton's game flew in overnight..must have been delayed at the airport.

 

[Orikoru]

Hatton is unbelievable - +4 yesterday... 8 under after 13 holes today! Madness.

Maybe he was still hungover yesterday..

For a World #4 and recent Major winner, Collin Morrikawa is a crap putter......

Mickleson. Just watched him swing as hard as he could with a 3 wood off the tee and missed the fairway. Why not just hit driver.

Clifftop golf on the PGA Tour with cold wind and rain, good to see some different conditions.

Without the sea views it would just be a run of the mill course. As there are no fans because of covid, why not take some tour events to better courses where they wouldn't normally go. There must be lots of better courses that are never used due to the lack of space for fans, parking or not enough space for tented villages etc.

I was thinking the same about the courses, they look like any old farmland.

The planning is possibly a couple of years ahead on a rolling cycle so I'm guessing the venues won't be changing much, especially now we're hopefully nearer the end than the beginning of Covid.

If you miss the fairway by 10 yards or 50 yards the rough is the same length. If you miss a fairway by 50 yards you deserve to have a bigger penalty.

How the hell did Reed get relief there? Ball hopped a foot after landing, he called the ref over after he'd moved the ball? 100% fishy...

 

[sweaty sock]

Ahh they've just replayed it, maybe hes not getting away with it

 

[Imurg]

FatPat and controversy going hand in hand....
Who'd have thought it..

 

[Dando]

Seems like he’s got away with it.How on earth did the ball imbed on the 2bd bounce?

 

[Dando]

Seems like he got another iffy drop

 

[pokerjoke]

Madness by Reed considering previous.
All he had to do if the ball was embedded was wait.
Now getting relief from a sprinkler that maybe he was stretching the rules with.
Once again opening himself up to scrutiny.

 

[sweaty sock]

What did he get a drop for on 11? Does he just get relief from bad lies?

Apparently he took an unusually wide stance so he was on the sprinkler head
