    So Wells Fargo this weekend at Quail Hollow. Big talk is likely to be how bad the greens are. Veejay, Poulter and Johnson have all withdrawn most likely because of the greens.

    Wow that photo is pretty bad, sometimes greens can look mottled but actually putt out ok, though based on the article it seems them are like porridge...not good for the tournament at all :(

    They do look terrible all right but I guess it will be the same for everyone. That said, Retief Goosen has just withdrawn which brings the total of withdrawals to 8 I think. Of course, they all are stating they have convenient niggling injuries.

    "he's a petulant spoilt brat and should be disqualified and banned from golf for life or longer" Vs "they let Tiger away with it, why not Sergio?"

    He putted from off the green and lagged it down to around a foot or so, maybe shorter. He marked it to check for dirt before tapping in but it looks very much like he marked his ball with a coin at the 9 o'clock position (if you're facing the hole) ie to the side of the ball, but put the ball back down in front of the marker before holing out.
    To be fair he was concerned with his playing partners' line and possibly rushing a little but still.........

    Not sure I've explained that clearly

    Eagle for Rory there on the 7th to go -8, only one behind a very on form Phil Mickelson. Then he follows that up with a missed birdie opportunity. But at least he's getting loads of good birdie chances and obviously the greens aren't helping.

    I see that he's paired with Lee Westwood today. What's the story with these two now? Have they patched things up or is their falling out on-going?

    I recall Lee once giving Rory stick over his Irish/British dilemma and then for playing more on the PGA Tour instead of the European Tour and then he goes and moves to Florida himself to focus on the PGA Tour. How would he explain that one to Rory?

    Water under the bridge that is. Practiced at Augusta together.

    Rory seems to be getting very used to his new clubs, will be in mix tomorrow

    Keeping up with an in form Phil is a really good sign but for feck sake, don't jinx him. ;)

    It was always just going to be a matter of time before the clubs clicked. All the talk of his game being in trouble seem a bit silly now, as it did last year when he missed a few cuts and then went on a spectacular run of form. He hasn't quite made that great a recovery yet but it's starting to look promising.

    Love to see players going for crazy shots but Phil really should have laid up there.

    From SkySports.com:
    The final round will start early due to expected thunderstorms. The final three-ball of Watney, Mickelson and McNeill will tee off at 08:46 local (13:46 UK).

    Doesn't say anything about their coverage though. I wonder will it be available through the red button. I haven't see anything about it yet.

    You wouldn't be alone there. The guy is straight out of Q school and was only 4th alternate for the event.

    Got to hand it to him winning in a quality field such as Quail Hollow.

    I found this to be a very strange tournament.
    It seemed like nobody wanted to win it.

    Just don't look to him during your swing, gotta keep that head down.

    By all means build him into your Pre shot routine though.

    I've fully incorporated him into my post shot routine
