Oh **** off Hideki, so poor on the last two greens.

Good coverage...Spieth hit a lay up and then we watched him walk up the fairway. Classic American golf coverage.

Always been **** - pick a favourite player and ignore most others

I know he must be playing **** but have been watching for about 30 minutes and haven't seen Rory hit a shot

spieth is going to win it again...i don't see anyone who can stop him...

yeah he is 5 over for the day and playing quite poorly...the contrast is more pronounced because of his playing partner...

 

[grecian]

I've been slagging Spieth's general play, but in the end his putting performance on slicknasty windy greens has been just omnipotent, drive for show, putt for dough as they say.

The referees could if they give him a penalty for slow play...2 holes behind
One of the slowest rounds I've seen in recent memory.

Spieth has put in a winners performance today. Not at his best but he has found a way to get a good score on the card. Take your hat off to him that he can be so good at that when he is so young.

 

[Pratters]

Spieth has hit so many shots to his right and still had a great round. Running away with it. Don't see any one beyond par having much shot now. Seven players. Most likely Spieth though with a lead of three.

Who the **** is Smyie Kaupfman, and why does he sound like a vaudeville act from the depression era?

 

[Pratters]

And another one to the right. This might be trickier.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Could do with a double here to make it interesting for us tomorrow.

 

[Pratters]

Incredible escape.

They usually focus on top 5-6 players at one time and once Rory went two over, they stopped showing him till a lot others finished.

It's interesting anyway if Spieth keeps on slamming the ball right he won't always get the dream lies, and positions he's got today.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well that just opened it up for a great day tomorrow.

 

[Pratters]

Yeah, thank god for that. Could have ended up very boring final day otherwise.

yep, fantastic putter...although he stumbled again at the finish to keep things interesting tomorrow...it is still his to lose but a lot of other players are in the mix now...

Not at all, if someone has a 65-66 and Spieth has 69 you wouldn't say he lost it. Spieth will be happy he's in the lead after 54 but as you could see today, so much can happen in 18 holes.

It's interesting to compare him with Rory

The latter's swing is so much better but as always, it's not a case of how but how many

Anyway, I think I've mentioned previously that Spieth putting is other-worldly but his general game is good but not great

As such, it is hard to believe that he will have an extended stay at the top unless there are substantial improvements in other areas because putting is the first thing to go
