Hoping Rose and Poulter can finish the round off and stay in touch. Casey starting to get in the mix too so looking good for the English challenge

Why is the coverage so flat! It’s like some geezer is filming on his mobile with Rob Lee filling in the gaps..
Am I watching different coverage? Where’s the big guns .. Butch etc...
I like Luke Donald but he’s boring the life out of me.

Forgot Fleetwood on +1 and lowest round so far.

I guess it’s because there doesn’t seem to be any excitement happening on the course , people are looking for Par golf which is hard to get excited for and the coverage from Fox is poor and seems to be stop start with lots of advert breaks.
Rob Lee is a good presenter but don’t think he is a good commentator and Donald whilst was good at the start just has a voice which is very monotone
Perfect example - Poulter was about to tee off and the coverage left him and then showed the course from above and then onto Rory group again

Prefer Donald to McGinley. Think he's the worse commentator Sky have by a long way. Lee doing his best but some of the pairings today have been poor by Sky. Can listen to Butch all day

Its more than that.. It’s like Montys sat on the mike.. You can’t hear the Crowds or any atmosphere... A bit like Citeh Pre Oil!

Just been watching a bit on the US Open website.

What's with that stupid rattle noise when they hole out? Do they have a mike in the bottom of every hole, or is it just dubbed on by the sound editors?
Either way it's damned annoying.

Yep, there is a mike in the hole.
The idea is not just to hear the hole out, but also conversation on the green between player and cadfy.

Madness from phil. Hahahaha seen it all now.
So what’s the penalty for that, hitting a moving ball back then marking it, in an almost defiant act, clearly displaying he can’t be arsed anymore 😂

Its a two shot penalty for hitting a moving ball but committee can DQ someone for a serious case

14.5 is hitting a moving ball and that's 2 shots but some are calling for DQ.
I doubt Phil will give a stuff:rofl:
