Golf Locker Room

[????]

I think that he's just finding the $200 million contract is increasing the pressure on him, he's still young, I'm gonna cut him a bit of slack.

[????]

Where's Mick?

I am on Rose and, er, Watney. Ominous starts from Woods and McIlroy....and Rose in the Clubhouse nicely

[Mick Mac]

Rory, Kucher, Stenson, Jacobsen and Zach Johnson.

Only Kuchar going well so far. Rory a little out of sorts but anything under par would keep him in touch.

[Mick Mac]

Cmon Rory..... Great round yesterday was +2 at one stage and finished -2 to be in with a shout. Lots of other top players in with a chance too.

[????]

Rose going steady

[Mick Mac]

Probably won't happen but a lot of noise surrounding possible disqualification for Woods after taking a drop and saying he went "back 2 yards" which should have been close to original spot....

[Mick Mac]

Tiger has just gone from 4s to 7s on betfair as debate over drop gathers pace.

[Mick Mac]

2 stroke penalty. You may say he got away with it. Should have been a DQ as per Wayne Grady.

[Alan Medic]

I read up on the rules and if it was a penalty then his scorecard was wrong and he should have been disqualified.How was this justified?

[Mick Mac]

Change of rule for trial by TV.

"The governing bodies determined players should not be disqualified because of "facts that he or she didn't know and could not reasonably have discovered prior to returning his scorecard. Thus, stroke penalties will be added to a score retrospectively."

Difference is that Tiger knew he went back two yards as he said so in the post round interview therefore he should have known he had broken the rule and signed for the wrong score before it hit the headlines. If he had signed his card then he should have withdrawn. This will hang over him if he wins.

[Alan Medic]

Why do you think he mentioned it in his post round interview? Do you think he was feeling guilty? Would anyone have picked up on it if he hadn't said anything? I didn't see the interview.

[????]

he should have been disqualified without a doubt

[Mick Mac]

He said I went back a couple of yards. He knew he wasn't within the spirit of near as possible to where the previous shot was taken from. Having broken the rule and this being pointed out to him he should withdraw. He seriously risks his reputation as one of the golfing greats.

[Alan Medic]

I'd guess he won't even want to win it now if he thinks about it.

[????]

Yup. His fault he's got himself in a no-win situation

[Mick Mac]

He doesn't give a sh1t what anyone else thinks.

[Mick Mac]

Not Cabrera, or Scott please.

Very poor from a betting perspective .... Great for Adam Scott, who really deserves it.

[Mick Mac]

Oh - it seems there were no Masters comments last year!

C'mon Rory.

Grand Slam beckons - but I have a feeling that when these things are built up too much....... etc.

[red devil]

Really hoping Rory can do it too...that's 2 comments!
