UNREAL! GO PHIL!

[Rangeballz]

UNBELIEVEABLE! I hope they sell a highite DVD of this.

 

How can it possibly get any better?

[tbowles411]

That was really REALLY good!

[legitimategolf]

That's our nefarious boy!

[nsxguy]

I don't care who wins.

 

This is just great fun to watch !!!

[Cozdog]

Insane par make from Mickelson. Stenson must be thinking wtf I gotta do to win this.

[hogans71]

Dan Hicks just needs to not talk. He's awful.

[carn9698]

Can anyone think of a time since 77 that a major came down to the last two guys all day long like this?

monty and tiger in 06 at Hoylake, but Tiger ran away in the end.

 

Monty? I think you mean Chris DiMarco.

sorry no Monty in 05 at St Andrews

stop doing 3 putts.

[TheMoneyShot]

Philly Mick showing some heart today!

[Bimmer1]

This is like watching the best Ryder Cup match ........ever!

[Cozdog]

What the hell is the point of putting mickelson and stenson on the clock, they are so far ahead they won't actually care if they get a penalty stroke, and it will just be bad press for the R&A.

[jayrod79]

This is just amazing to watch. Feel bad one of them has to come in second.

I think we are watching the highlight DVD...

[carn9698]

Norman v Faldo at Sandwich in 93 springs to mind. Greg 63 v Nick 67.

They are on the clock? What idiot decided that? Is the USGA running this tourney?

[texcrom]

Phils big mistake just happened on #12...........hero shot will cost him!

[JaNelson38]

Mickelson shot, Stenson shot, commercial. Wash, rinse, repeat. Infinitely worse than ABC/ESPN.

 

I realize this duel is mesmerizing, but there are other golfers out there playing for a lot. The race for 4th specifically.

 

I hope FOX has a chance to get the Open. This is pathetic.

[mrmacwvu1]

wow

 

this has been a blast to watch

 

it is sad that at then end of day one will be without the win

[carn9698]

Stenson leaving putts short. Nervy.

[legitimategolf]

What's nice is this being the first major in a while without the big 3. Refreshing not to have to hear about that theme for a change. Surprised that they are not harping more on the over-40 aspect though.

[Bobalu]

Pathetic NBC coverage. 2 shots go to commercials until ready to hit next shots. Rinse and repeat.

[texcrom]

I'm not interested in seeing anyone else....they are irrelevant.

 

Keep it on Stenson and Mickelson!

[carn9698]

Can we have a whip round and buy Phil a hat that fits?

[Bobalu]

I'm not interested in seeing anyone else....they are irrelevant.

 

Keep it on Stenson and Mickelson!

 

Too many commercials

[texcrom]

What a PUTT!!

[carn9698]

These 2 are stubborn.

[NikeNerd]

I agree with texcrom I don't really care if they show anyone else, the slugfest is what I want to see. We won't see golf like this for a long time.

[darpar1]

This could come down who makes putts on the par 3's

[Jasonic]

Woundn't mind seeing other shots as well. WHERES THE BEEF!?!

 

there's time between Phil and Stenson shots for others. Rather see that than commercials, no?
