I get the feeling that it's win or bust for Harrington. After winning 3 majors, second place finishes don't mean much to him. Other players would be happy with top ten finishes. The only way to explain when he blows up he really blows up

The American Media love him. Even when he's stinking it up, he will be brutally honest about where it went wrong.

One lady commentator yesterday said she talked to him and asked him what he was working on

"I'm working on overhauling my over haul".

Fair play.

Rory's lost the plot!!!

He's the definition of a confidence player he thought being patient and solid would help him build the confidence for today but Spieth shooting the lights out has pit him under pressure and he's folded.

Going good guns at moment on the betting, Spieth on the nose and Casey each way! Cash out available for Spieth... Lowry and Harry having a nightmare. Maybe its too warm for them

Cashed out on Speith earlier, 1.57 was ridiculous odds before Rory started

I know I shouldn't ask but what did you get Spieth at?

It says a lot for Rory the way he's finished this round. In days gone by he'd have finished four or five over. He'll still think he can win too :-)

Seriously? He's 12 behind. Spieth looks like Tiger Mark 2. He's a better player then Rory was at 21.

Its a bit of an anti climax for the Irish so far.

Not even close, or ever will be. Wheels will fall off over the weekend, and there'll be no 'US Open' reprieve a-la McIlroy 2011 later in the year either I'd wager.

Easy there bud, Speiths the real deal him and Rory could just be the next big rivalry in golf.

I didn't say Rory would win, I just think that with his winners mentality he'd think he can still win, he was a bit downbeat in his post round interview mind..

I agree with you, strange as it seems I think McIlroy is good enough to yet win this. Don't agree with Spieth being as good as McIlroy at the same age, think he has to prove it yet.
