Watched that last night and was really impressed! Good stuff with the players, and decent fly overs of the holes etc... I think they might do a good job of this.

Loving the Sky coverage, awesome as always
They have a great team, always like the insight Butch provides
Didn't like "Radar" to start with, but he's grown on me, loved the segment he did in the buggy with Andrew "Beef" Johnston a couple of weeks ago :rofl:
Now if only they could do a swap deal with the BBC to exchange Ken Brown for Monty

Well Monty's playing this week so you'll be spared him for a couple of days this week, possibly even 4 as it is his home course.Now if only they could do a swap deal with the BBC to exchange Ken Brown for Monty

Really enjoying Sky's coverage - very impressive. Some really good insights from the pros when they go into the range area and talk to Rob Lee and Claude Harmon.

Looking forward to seeing what Sky bring to the coverage.
I like Andrew Coltart and Rich Beem on the commentary, but not so much a fan of the stalwarts like Boxy and Ewan Murray who make everything sound boring.
Not going to miss Aliss one bit (please tell me they haven't brought him in from BBC).
To avoid the adverts I pause whenever leaving the room so you can FF through the breaks.

Rory McIllroy on fire in the presser this afternoon! Shutting down so many stupid questions. I doubt his PR team will be delighted, but it was refreshingly honest!

Andy Sullivans ball control was impressive , speaks very well and has a great attitude towards the game - dark horse certainly. Pure striking with that 4 iron.
Really enjoying Claude Harmon - not seen much about him but has a good way about him and asks the right questions , works well with Lee
Really Liking the history segments of the area
Shouty McShouty going full voice on the flyovers !! Spoiling it
And as for Monty - trying to be amusing and having the awkward laugh at himself - hope he makes the cut so he stays away from the commentary box
This is a great pic

Maybe they could limit Monty to 20 lines each day?
anyone else notice Craig Lee keep saying when you tee off Tomorrow, one of the guys looked a little surprised and said you mean Thursday....

Rich Beem is excellent, and should be in the commentary box more, and not wasted out on the course. Send Richard Boxall out there, as he and Ewan together can be pretty dull.

Interesting seeing McIlroy make a 1-putt 9 on the postage stamp. Took 6 to get out of the coffin bunker! 
Also thought Jimmy Walker's control with the driver was very good, and Finau's low drive yesterday.
Very good so far.
Edit. Forgot about Rickie's crack handed shots yesterday, that was different!

I like the Sky team including Boxall, Roe and Monty. Far better than anything the BBC offered with the exception of Ken Brown who was relegated at the end to some sort of side show act on the greens and a waste of his commentary talent. This will be a very good open for the armchair fan

Blimey, Monty is hard to watch.

Stay away from Rory for a bet as I think hes a 50-1 shot.
He hates the wind and rain and its going to be wet and windy

I see Monty's leading the field off tomorrow.
I wonder if he'll be banging on to Marc and Luke throughout the round about when he skippered the Ryder Cup team

Not sure he's quite 50/1 but I'll not be backing him at 10s.
