Hanson bogies the second!

HBV · July 20, 2012, 9:33am

Rory follows bogie at 3 with a bird at 4 and is back at -3.

Just had a quick look over on the other thread and not surprising to see there was no at the news of Harrington’s early birdie.

And they had the cheek to call us unpatriotic :lol:

thedancingbaby · July 20, 2012, 9:38am

Snedeker birdies the first to move to -5

HBV · July 20, 2012, 9:49am

Hanson birdies the third!

HBV · July 20, 2012, 9:51am

McIlroy is all over the place, having to scramble for pars, has just bogied 6.

Hartington playing well, plenty birdie puts just needs to drain a couple.

Fran · July 20, 2012, 9:53am

They also seem to be having a go a Peter Hanson just because the forum’s top golf tipster tipped him over here. How petty!

HBV · July 20, 2012, 9:57am

Luke Donald is now under par for the round and the tournament after birds at 4 & 5.

HBV · July 20, 2012, 10:09am

Another good par for Harrington at 6.

Meanwhile on the other thread padraig is in big trouble on the 4th.

thedancingbaby · July 20, 2012, 10:17am

:lol:

HBV · July 20, 2012, 10:48am

Hartington to -2 and is now leading Irishman.

McIlroy back to -1 after fucking up from a bunker at the 9th green.

Perfect conditions again but not many making hay.

Fran · July 20, 2012, 10:49am

Another birdie for Harrington and a double bogey for McIlroy

Edit: If there wasn’t such great camaraderie on this thread I’d be angry with you for gazumping me, HBV

HBV · July 20, 2012, 10:50am

Apart from Luke Donald, -3 and making hay.

Bandage · July 20, 2012, 10:51am

Just looked over at the other thread. They seem to spend more time talking about us talking about them on this thread than they do talking about the actual golf!

How’s Rickie doing?

Fran · July 20, 2012, 11:00am

He’s +1 for the day through 9. That makes him +2 overall.

Snedeker now has a share of the lead

Fran · July 20, 2012, 11:01am

4 birdies in 5 holes. Really motoring nicely

HBV · July 20, 2012, 11:22am

Snedeker moves into the lead on -7.

HBV · July 20, 2012, 11:38am

You’d worry about Mcilroys temperment.
He is playing reasonably but made a bollix of 1 bunker shot resulting in a double bogey. Now he is forcing everything like he is panicking despite it being only Friday.
He’s just bogeyed the 12th now having gone at the pin aggressively. Back to level par now.
He has a lot to learn.

Which is the appropriate thread to 1. state that golf is not a sport and 2. Label golf supporters and players as wankers ?

myboyblue · July 20, 2012, 11:47am

Pop it into both to be safe, would hate for cunts like hbv not to get the message.
