Bit of a chaotic 2nd day with half the field not completing their rounds due to bad light, so busy day today.
Leading Brits are Danny Willett, Tommy Fleetwood & Justin Rose who are all 7 under (2 off the leaders) but in the Clubhouse. Paul casey is 6 under but with 7 holes of his 2nd round to play.

Bit of a shock for the All Blacks getting beat by Argentina for the first time in their history, not a fluke at 25-15 either.

Currently watching The Grand Prix qualifying session, it’s piddling down and the cars are all over the place.

Hamilton wins again, going to rewrite the record books.
But its what you get when the top driver is the fastest car, and this year in particular none of the other cars could really compete with the Mercedes.
Definitely a sport that doesn't have a level playing field.

F1 would be much more interesting if the best drivers were in the slower cars :D

Dustin Johnson won the masters by 5 shots, superb performance :clap:

Rory McIlroy was the best placed Brit in 5th place.

Can't go without mentioning poor old Tiger who really needed his swimwear on the 12th finding the water 3 times and shooting a 10, if the greatest can do that it doesn't make me feel too bad.

Yeah, it’s not been the best season, Mercedes have massively dominated and Ferrari have been very poor.

Personally, I like to watch the emergence of the younger drivers such as Stroll and Russell. Going to have big futures over the next few seasons.

Snookers Northern Ireland open starts today, these early rounds of matches, in the short format, often spring surprises, David Grace being 3-1 up against David Gilbert currently one of them.
