So I am not going to sit here and rehash all that has been pointed out with Fox coverage of this. Instead, Other than Greg Norman, I am not very pleased with the choice of commentators. Think of any sports coverage where you have a panel. Fox coverage of NFL, CBS football coverage, etc...  On all of those shows, you have a facilitator that helps direct the discussion and keep the panel on track. You have guys like James Brown, and Menefee. Guys who can carry a show.

 

Now for the Open, we have Joe Buck. A man whose on air personality is as charismatic as Sean Penn with paparazzi after a heavy night of drinking. I think this is a horrid choice for Fox if they are really serious about becoming a golf coverage contender. I have actually started watching with the TV on mute.

Isn't Kurt Menefee on this broadcast? I know he was yesterday. Love your analogy of Buck. As a Cubs fan I abhor Joe Buck and his always homer attitude for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Yeah i thought I saw him yesterday too. I am fine with him, even though he wouldnt be my first choice to run the set for the Open. Then again, I dont know who Fox has that I WOULD choose to run the desk for them.

I like that Greg Norman just now defending the course and the USGA over the "criticism" aka whining from some of the players. Like the fact that he said we as players get spoiled and want perfect conditions all the time but everyone is playing the same course. Of course right after that segment they show Ryan Palmer and comment he is one of payers who criticized course and then he chips it in after using one of the slopes unique to this course

I am a little late jumping in but I have Jordan Speith winning at -6 by 5 shots in my pools over Mickelson at -1, Rose at even (we pick 3) . Jordan's caddie knows where to hit it and the breaks on the greens. Jordan has the ability and guts to execute.

 

Rory's arrogance and lack of homework will have him lingering around the cut line.

 

I was dead wrong about Tiger, I had him in the top 10 in another pool. Very sad to watch, I hope this is not the end of an era.

If Phil can avoid a big number today think he'll be right in the mix until the end. Just have a feeling it's going to be either a great day for him or a complete disaster.

For those not watching Day is down on the course on hole 9. The last of his day. Seems like he might have overheated or something. The view had him just eating it, no slip. Just looked like he passed out or got dizzy.

Double post. Day is up now. Probably will finish out and seek treatment. Lucky for him barring a huge miscue here he'll have a full day and change to recover.

That's generally how it goes with him, isn't it? Regardless it should be fun to watch?

What I love about him and Sergio. Day is still nearly falling over here a bit. Jeez he hit a sand shot to under ten foot. He's not all there physically and wow. How the heck does he do that?

Shot of the Day goes to Jason Day, completing a sand shot with Vertigo and seeing stars. Hope he is ok, he has been having the fainting spells and doctors don't know what is the issue. Scary. Hope he can finish tournament this weekend
