framheim Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 anyone watch it last night?my money's on mickelson i reckon. although vijay singh's looking pretty good so far too. there's a good few others who have a shot at it though, should be an interesting couple of days.

And only the biggest hitters will have any hope on some holes.I reckon there will be some monster scores!But yes, Darren Clarke has interesting fashion sense.... Garcia had a pretty horrendous pair of orange trousers on too.Classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 i quite liked garcia's trousers, but his goatee was terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam 45 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I wouldn't be surprised if Singh led all the way, he seems to play well at Augusta (sp?). The course is mammoth - 7400 yards or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 its gunna be interesting to see who comes out on top on sunday. its ridiculous how lengthy the course is these days tho. puts so many strategy players out of contention in my opinion leaving very few to competeid be very surprised if anyone other thanwoodssinghmickelsongarciagoosenelshowellwouldnt mind being wrong tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 from watching it yesterday people like adam scott seemed very comfortable on the course as did ogilvy. if they can both remain consistent they might be in with a chance.

Hog Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Its some course. Watched some of it with my Dad last night. 8 lawnmowers driving up the fairway and the whole course is resurfaced every year!Good golf last night. Monty summed it up regarding the difficulty of the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Wrong Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Not so sure about Lineker as the main anchor. Maybe it was just the nerves, but he couldn't get through a sentence without stumbling. He's still a legend though.And I'm with Dave I reckon Adam Scott could do well this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend yes, but put him back to Match of the Day and get shot of Ray Stubbs from it. I like Lineker, but he is not a golfing expert. It's be like having Nick Faldo presenting MOTD, it's just not right.Lineker is as good at MOTD as David Gower is at cricket on Sky Sports - both are excellent.

Guest Bob Double Jack Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 true, but he just doesnt look comfortable. IMO, Steve Rider is better. But then again, it took me a while to get used to him on MOTD. I am probably being over critical, cos he must be shiteing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam 45 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Rain delayed the play today but here is the current scores - round 3 not finishedChad Campbell -6Rocco Mediate -5Tim ClarkTiger Woods -3Phil MickelsonPadraig HarringtonStephen Ames -2Ernie ElsVijay SinghFred CouplesReteif GoosenI would say the players and 2/3 under are the ones to really watch out for. Personally i would love to see Harrington win a major - especially in America. Can't see Chad Campbell holding on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Lineker did seem a little nervous but he was doing a good enough job. I always liked Steve Rider hosting their golf coverage though, he seemed to do it so muc hbetter than when he presented other sports.

Sam 45 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Can we stop talking about who is presenting it and focus more on the golf. Yeah it would be good to see Fred Couples keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
