    Yup. Even the adverts seem fewer and further between.
    I think they were only allowed 3 per hour and each commercial break wasn't allowed to be over a minute in length.

    McIlroy is having an awful year!
    He must have seen my post mid-round and decided to prove me wrong. Good turnaround for him this round, needs to take that form in to tomorrow.

    Good start for Koepka for me. Really fancy him to go close this week.
    Just eating lunch and the TV above the bar showed Koepka chip into two water head covers at the side of the green. He sunk the putt though and looks like he doesn't get rattled.

    He's got a putting stroke to die for and it looks like he'll hole absolutely everything in sight.

    A 62 from Branden Grace. Magnificent.

    Can't see anything other than a Spieth win today. Hoping he drops a few shots early to make it interesting but the way he's playing it seems unlikely.

    Some round by Grace yesterday too!

    We need a few wild shots with unplayable lies. If he finds the greens it's over. There's a bad break to start.

    Spieth is having another Augusta!!!!

    Its up for grabs now.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Haotong could win this at -6 the way things are going.
    He's 10/1 with bet 365.

    He must be going crazy right now! Rory's still around too!

    Spieth is doing his best to blow it. If Kuchar can keep his nerve he's a winner.

    Tremendous shot by Spieth in the circumstances.

    Just as well Spieth isn't in front of me in a Saturday medal as he'd have a ba up his erse long before now. He takes a ridiculous amount of time.

    The standard from the final pair hasn't been superb but the excitement is definitely still there!

    Well played Jordan Spieth who above all demonstrated fantastic mental resolve when things looked like they were slipping away.

    What a player he is. Hard to believe he's just 24. The laddie bagged £100 so all was not lost.

    Good. Spieth has the look of a successor to Woods and Nicklaus. He obviously has that faculty of regrouping in adversity and confidence in his ability. He's determined.

    Cheers for the win at the bookies Spieth. 😁

    Spieth is really wired. He has a fantastic determination and belief in his ability. That's what makes a champion obviously. And he's only 23.

    He is very reliant on his putter though. If he's not putting well he looks pretty ordinary at times.

    United we stand here....

    Drive for show, putt for dough.

    Your quote stands for just every golfer out there. He is a lovely iron player and around the greens. He's not great off the tee but putting wins you tournaments and that's all that matters.

    I agree, but that doesn't put him up there with the greats of the game as some people are suggesting. He's young and he could go on to be the best player ever, but it's too early to say that imo.
