The Golf Thread

Each player goes round the course in a group of three. Essentially they're not really playing each other, they're playing against the whole field but bookies being bookies want to offer as many markets as possible, so offer you the chance bet on who's going to get the best score out of those 3. You've bet on both Rory and Reed to get a better score than their two playing partners. As to whether it's a good bet or not, well that depends on the odds you got. It's already happened and I suspect it didn't come in with Pat Reed finishing on +4.

Cheers for that. And you're right, it didn't come in. Would've got £110 I think but didn't realise Reed was a ****. Ta!

Can't believe Hoffman's round of 65 in those conditions. He was about 30/1 when he was -3. Now he's just 6/1.

Amazing round! I think the wind might have dropped a bit towards the end of the day though which might've helped a bit. He did similar in 2015 but then blew it in the last two rounds. Be interesting to see if he's learnt from it or just struggles to string 4 good rounds together.

An opening 8 for Danny Willett. Already needs a repeat of yesterday's comeback!

 

[Gbspurs]

Don't think anyone would begrudge Garcia a win.

 

[yankspurs]

So we're through 3. Garcia and Rose share the lead. Hoffman was up there until he went in the drink on 16 and double bogey'd. Now he's 2 strokes back along with Spieth at -4. Fowler 1 stroke back and in great position. Hope Fowler or Garcia win.

Bit torn about who I want to win between rose and Garcia...think Rory is too far back...his game is still a little bit rusty too, still paying price for that lay off...all facets of his game have let him down over three days, driving, iron play to greens and the short game...one player I don't want is spieth...can't stand that guy

 

[Arnoldtoo]

I'd like Garcia to win. He deserves it, and I can just imagine the celebrations!

Otherwise I'm not too fussed; Rose has got such a good temperament when things go bad, as they do; Fowler's time will come, maybe today; Speith is a hell of a player round Augusta; Moore & Hoffman ... who knows how the Sunday back 9 will affect them?

Gonna be fun!

Fell asleep again last night and missed the end. Must stay awake this evening.
I'm hoping for a Garcia win but I fear that Spieth will win.

 

[stonecolddeanaustin]

Got to say I really don't understand the animosity towards Spieth. He seems like a really likeable bloke in interviews. The only thing I don't like about him is the way he says "we" all the time but I can just about handle that. Is there something I'm missing here?

I agree with you about the animosity; it's not his fault that he's good, and he doesn't come across as arrogant.

I suspect he says 'we' in the same way that Danny Willett does, reinforcing that it's a team effort in which he is the one who hits the balls but is far from the only one responsible for the successes.

I backed Rose at 28's from the start. Hope he can do it.

 

[yankspurs]

Fucking hell, Garcia! 2 under through the first 3 holes today! -8 total, 2 stroke lead on Rose, 3 stroke lead on Fowler.

Spieth at -3 after bogey, birdie, bogey, par through 4. Almost got back to par on the day but just missed a birdie on 4 by inches.

 

[yankspurs]

Hey, Rickie, if you wanna stop choking, that'd be great.

 

[cockjol]

Sergio choking now...rose has steely look about him...laughed as spieth just found water at 12 again...deja vu...kuch just aced at 16...what a shot

 

[haxman]

KOOOOOOCH!!!!

 

[DIEHARD]

KOOOOOOCH!!!!

Isn't koooooooch a vajajay...

 

[cockjol]

I appreciate Rory has been crap by his standards for four days, but rather odd how Sky stopped bothering to show him completely...not as if he's 52nd...he's in the top 10!..great par under the circumstances just then by Sergio

 

[cockjol]

Unbelievable from Sergio

 

[tototoner]

I would Kevin Keegan love it if Sergio can win

 

[tototoner]

This is great golf
