Has anybody seen Lee Westwood :mmm:

No, thank goodness.

 

[Pin-seeker]

No, thank goodness.

But who knows how much his experience behind the scenes is helping 🤔

This is a very close session - up in two , all square in one and the US up in one

Still a lot of scrappy play to lose to pars but a lot more putts dropping for us today but poor offnthe tee

Atmosphere starting to get hostile with the beer flowing

Unfortunately, I have a feeling that it might get a little out of hand tonight.
Some of them certainly have the ability to spoil it for decent people.

American crowds in loud brash shocker!!!

Come on, yes it's not the British repressed quiet appreciation you get at Opens but what were you expecting with all the hype and buildup? The European players will have known this would happen and they will be ready for it. Seems it upsets the viewers more than the players. And heads up for those offended by it, it will be a lot worse when it's played at Bethpage.

There has been one or two crass comments throughout the day, but on the whole it's been as expected. They have been partisan as you'd expect and Willett has had a tough ride but at the moment they haven't stepped over any line

Great quote from Butch..."I don't think Phil Mickleson can even spell Fairway"

It seems missing the fairway isn't that bad a punishment , go wild and still have a shot to the green , bunkers nice and flat - certainly set up for birdie golf which players like Kopkea are taking advantage off

Mentioned yesterday Love III had it removed same as Medinah to allow for the wayward shots.

Enough about Monty, what about the crowd?

 

[JohnnyDee]

Has Monty mentioned Celtic Manor yet?

He rarely ever does 👀

And Harman's done what in golf? harsh.....
Still cant get my head around the American crowds chearing a crap Euro shot,Fitz just stuck one in the water and they totally humiliated the lad,dont like that.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

The drunken crass comments are unnecessary but I do find the random word shouts after drives weirdly amusing. They don't hurt anyone and are just surreal. Favourite so far was early this morning, "bathwater". Very Michael Palin in Monty Python mode.

Ever heard of a guy called Tiger Woods?

I thought Harmon was Mickelson coach? Not a good advert for his coaching skills.

Claude Harmon is his coach now I believe

I think only have to look at his coaching career to see the advert of how good a coach Butch is - 12 major winning players he has coached

What's Rose thinking there? No need to push for another won hole... A couple of halved holes wins the point...

 

[sawtooth]

Why didn't Rose lay up there? 2up, no need to gamble!

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Harmon used to say constantly to Mickelson, take something off it. Apparently he is down the middle when he does that. On the course he goes 100% every time, hence the wildness. Harmon is hugely respectful of Mickelson but he is also honest when he needs to be. Good commentator imo.

Harmon coaches or has coached many of the world's top players. A man worth listening to.

One day Fitzpatrick is going to match my opinion of his potential. But not today. Hope he's put out again - Sneds and Brooks are just on fire.
