Like the Ryder cup hate Sky's OTT coverage - they ruin sport these days with their bloated repetitive coverage

I agree. Golf coverage was one of the things that has always been done right on BBC, they have got it nailed. Intelligent, entertaining commentary, insightful info from the greens courtesy of Ken Brown and they manage to show all the important bits. love the random light hearted bits and slow mo, HD shots.

Do you need a red button showing a particular pairing or selection of holes? Do you need constant analysis of the shots/swings/holes etc. How many times do we need to see Butch Harmon stare straight down the camera when he answers a question about Ricky Fowler. Just seems overkill. Oh and of course, adverts....

Still, can't complain too much.

Get in the hole!
Anyone who shouts that or anything similar on a golf course should be taken aside and shot.

Can't wait for tomorrow. It is great that we have got Rory and Sergio against Phil and the guy who can't put unless it is anchored against his stomach tomorrow.

Yes I agree, bloody idiots off the tee of a par five.

Whats been said, Tom Watson is my hero big time

One asked if he could relate to the players being 40 years older than some of them, followed on with a similar question, Tom dealt with it all well, looked agitated today when asked more stupid questions, I know he's the opposing captain but our media don't do themselves any favours.

Fucking hope Rory and Sergio put Mickelson and that stupid **** Bradley into their box. I hate Bradley so much, especially since the last Ryder Cup. A good hammering to shut him and 'Nippleson' up. (When he has a tshirt on you can always see his nipples!)

They have to show the tee shots at the first, it'll settle down once all those are out of the way.

Good start from Europe.
