Meh, this coverage sucks as much as the golf course does.

Never seen so many PGA Pros publicly voice their displeasure with a venue.

Fail USPGA.

On one hand, all the players have to play the same course so there's that, but no this course is meant to be very penal. Can't be very fun to play but there are low scores out there... I'm conflicted on how I feel about it. I'm not gonna complain too much if the golf is good, but I will agree that Fox has a lot to learn on golf coverage.

I will have to agree... Fox is not doing a great job here. None of them can match CBS on golf coverage.

Except for the Holly Sonders part

These guys are having some serious trouble putting. It's getting interesting.

Can't keep the ball in the fairway either as it is drying out

Yep, Spieth hit that last drive perfectly and ended up all the way across the fairway in the rough...

Spieth is one smart golfer though. Plays like a 20 year Vet and has the young man talent to go with it.

Test of survival this afternoon

Is it just me or does this crowd seem like a more "happy gilmore" bunch?  Pretty loud even during shots.  Maybe the distance from the players makes them more at ease?

He's getting really frustrated with his putting... but really none of them are having any success right now. Jason Day looks like he's struggling... My dad has that exact same kind of vertigo and some days he can't get out of bed.

...and I say that and Day makes a putt to get within one of the lead. He's really impressive today playing like he appears to be feeling .. ...and Holmes with the eagle to go to -2. Some fun golf going on.

Day is the new crowd favorite because of his efforts with the vertigo.  Fighting through it quite well.

Question, shouldn't he squat to put his tee in the ground?  Would that help keep his head more vertical?  Noticed him holding his scorecard up in the air so he would not have to look down and was thinking about the tee.

My dad says it doesn't really matter, if it's bothering you holding your head certain ways doesn't really help. No idea if Day feels the same. Looks like he's just struggling to get thru it. No clue how you hit the golf ball while dizzy.
