kwini, I blame the Devlin, Bergstol, Benson threeball for the pace of play, a total of +38 between the three of them!

willy,
Even the first groups out took five hours; even slower tomorrow as they battle to make the cut.

"Alas American coverage of golf is not a patch on the beeb... tonight's coverage will consist of 90% discussion on how Tigers knee held up and a replay of every grimace he had during today's round..."

Alas, the beeb has no television coverage of the US Open and 90% of the online discussion will still consist of how well Tiger's knee held up (they will not be able to provide a replay of every grimace). This despite a licence fee, something NBC does not necessitate. And believe me, the BBC know where you live and it's all in the database: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8ee_1210010683

Don't worry - everything is going to be fine with Garcia. I had a dream last night that he'd be five over after nine, but would get it back to two under by the end of the round.


I also dreamt that Tiger would be seven under through nine holes, and Mickelson six under, so don't take my word for it...

For the Irish guy Tom who said Harrington always flops in the majors and is all talk before them. He won the open last year in case you had not realised. He is also one of the few players in Europe who consistently contends at majors. Be grateful that one of our own is the only european major winner since 2000!!! he was also the top european finisher at the Masters this year in 5th place.

Such stupid comments like that really irritate me. Harrington has won 20 tournaments now around the world, a lot of pros would give anything for that level of success.

He may not be featuring this year but he has proved himself already winning a major!!!

Thank you slashermcguire I couldn't have said it better myself. Now the big question is how far back is too far back? I am assuming the the winning score is going to be at least a couple over par so though Padraig has given himself a very up hill battle if he can get in today with an under par round he would make the cut and after that well you just never know.

Before yesterdays round Tiger for me was still the man to beat, now despite him having a good round I really don't know if his knee is going to put up with 4 rounds. But never bet against a wounded tiger. I can just see Steve Williams giving him a piggy back up the 18th on Sunday.
