Sky's coverage is shite, theyre trying to IT it up like Andy Gray did with the football
Abysmal

I like Colin Montgomerie's commentary though, very knowledgeable.

He's got the potential to "do a Faldo" and turn from a dull golfer into a very good commentator

Agree, albeit he does like to plug "his" Ryder Cup success a bit too often
I like the way Butch Harman just looks into the camera when he talks, so American

I don't blame him to be fair, it meant a huge amount to him, it was the Major he never won as a player.

No. I took my "Everyone get behind the Team this Sunday" banner.

Just had Sky's preview show on in the background. What is it with them having large iPads in the studio for the one of the front men to use very badly. Just get the blokes to talk and get proper VC men to run the vids in the background when required. Although they need to replace the person using anyway as he was a boring sod.


Whilst Sky are seemingly relying on the ipad to soup up their coverage BBC radio 5 seem to be determined that endlessly reading out twitter comments makes for good golf coverage. I haven't got Sky so listened to Chris Evans and the 5 live golf team and found it to be pretty dire. Lots of chummy chat about them sharing a house together in Augusta, loads of reliance on twitter 'tweets' and very little golf coverage.... But I suppose golf on the radio is never going to be great is it?.... And am I the only one that would like Woods to come back to form and win this?

I'd hope so.

Woods looking decent and dangerous....come on Rory. He (Rory) could have been 5 shots clear if he was on song with his putting yesterday...

Right time to settle down for a great sporting event, final round of the masters.

McIlroy has been imperious all week.  I predict he'll finish it of in style.
