Been playing well for a few months, I just don't see him winning a major but don't know why

Doesn't make enough putts when needed - his driving and long game is superb but always missed too many putts

Duffed putt off the back of the 9th green and sadly looking like Rory's race is run for this Masters

The coverage of other players was good last night even with Tiger's being with one of the featured groups.

Lot of players saying the greens are soft and slower than they're expecting. So will the committee make them deadly tomorrow? I think they will, they could really shake up the scoreboard after the cut.

Very happy to see Spieth with a great round through solid play today. But if conditions change it could unsettle him and it's still within reach of a good bunch.

Poor putting from him so far - needs something to happen quickly.

McIlroy over the cut line. Wouldn't be surprised to see him lose a few more to par on the back and be on the plane home tomorrow. Looks totally disinterested

 

[Soft hands]

It must be hard to keep motivation when your one of the top players say a Rory or a Bubba and you're turning up expecting to challenge and then you see someone so far in front.

To be fair how much does it matter to Mcilroy whether he finishes 5th or 55th?

No Phil, right now the coverage is the same as la night, the only difference, and I mean theonly difference, being the star attraction is McIlroy and not Tiger

Wasn't that how it was planned when they did the draw and tee times? The two star attractions (whether we agree or not) late out on alternate days.

Those of you of a certain age, will remember Bobby Clampett in the Open. Some were already giving him the Claret Jug after 36 holes. He even had a couple of birdies to start the third round and then the wheels fell off.

It ain't over yet.

Yep since when has this sport been predictable.

Look at Tiger doing OK when some thought he would be going home early. And look at Rory now, many peoples favourite to win - might might not make the cut!

McIlroy will probably play the back nine in -3.

Of course it was, that's what I was trying to explain to Phil earlier, sadly he seems to think it only happens with Tiger

I just love the way Poulter stares back towards the hole when he misses a make-able putt, as if to say it was the greens fault.

You need a better putting stroke I say.

 

[JohnnyDee]

It's what makes sport so compelling. To predict an outcome, particularly in golf, is well neigh impossible. I so wanted Rory to win but don't think that now he can. His double bogey on 9 reminiscent of the meltdown he had a few years ago. As if he's given up in his own mind.

And yet, who's to say that he doesn't shoot -4 on the back nine. To quote Saint & Greavsie 'It's a funny old game"

I wonder if Speith will try and defend his lead, or continue to attack the course. Pressure will be on now, and never easy to win wire to wire. I think it will be a close finish still.

I'll be surprised if the course is so tame again tomorrow, expect the greens to be much faster, interesting to see how he copes with that.

Agree, the committee will not like Speith taking the course apart. Could be out of their hands though if they get the predicted thunder storms.

I think he still has to attack it a little bit, Hoffman not too far away

Have to feel that they will quicken the greens up tomorrow

I expect he will continue to attack the course

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Thunder predicted so that will soften the greens. Might resort to tucking the pins away a little more

I didnt know thunder could soften greens.
