Yeah I think last year Fox had these little robots following people around with tracers and mics, and it ruled. It was like the one thing they did really well.

I'm not sure if I'm sold on the mics in the cups yet though.

Later this afternoon if I had to guess. Maybe around 4 or 5? The last group from round one teed off at 10:12 and I think they said there will be a break in between rounds for course maintenance.

He's with ZJ and DeChambeau, I'd bet 3:30 or later, looking at it.

Sergio just drove the green on 17. Should be an easy 2 putt birdie.

Edit- never mind, I thought he'd missed the birdie putt lol.

Maybe he's learned to stop peaking so early and is leaving something in the tank for Sunday.

They are going to straight up punish players for round 2. Cutting and rolling greens to a 14/14.5!

I don't expect many under par rounds from here on out.

They have to move all the hole locations too. That takes 5-10 minutes per hole. Which means they have to have multiple groups of people doing that, which I don't think is normal.

I went into this knowing that Sergio's greatest success in majors have come on flat, (relatively) slow greens.

Not to put the cart before the horse, but perhaps what he needs is absolutely punishing greens to be a Great Equalizer, letting his ball striking shine through.

He doesn't have much on Stenson, though. Dude only missed like 1 green today.

They did that last year too and I liked it, I haven't seen it on any other coverage.

Pros making terrible putting strokes always amazes me. It's such an easy, controlled motion compared to a full swing, that you'd figure they'd have it permanently ingrained but nope.

I haven't been able to watch any of Fox's coverage, but tee shot camera angles drive me insane.

A couple years ago at the masters they were showing player's drives on 18 from the side. So the camera was pointing directly at the chest of the golfer. How friggin worthless is that? Can't see the fairway, can't get that little fraction of a glimpse of what direction the ball is headed, just their stupid belt buckles.
