Ive looked on the tv listings in Australia to see if live coverage is on Thursday around 4pm and I can't find anything on Foxtel listings. Does anyone know if this will be shown here as Rors, Phil, Scotty, Louis, Harrington amongst others are playing.

In America Golf Chanel is carrying it starting in 4 hours.  I don't know if this translates to Australia, but I hope you find it.

I have free tickets through work and hopefully the big names will make it through to the weekend. Would love this to become part of the US Tour's Asian swing, although I am not sure who will replace Barclay's as sponsor next year.

I just checked also. It appears no foxtel coverage.

Seems ridiculous given its a euro tour event and they have the rights.

I hate foxtel...

Had to watch a live stream via Sky Sports from aus as Foxtel let me down! Can't understand why the coverage wasn't picked up here. Back at 7.30am to finish off the first round.

You are mistaken, it's the second biggest after Rotterdam. Still insanely busy (I take a boat through it every weekend)

Better than some efforts that we see from sportsmen every November.  Obviously participating in the Movember moustache growing campaign in aid of Prostate Cancer research.

Those European commentators suck Rory's d*** so bad it's unbelievable, can't stand listening to them. Every time Rory hits a shot I put it on mute.

Go Phil and Scott

Or 36. It is a shame that they haven't learned from last year and found a different date for it to be played. Absolutely ridiculous to schedule an event at a time of the year, when the probability for thunderstorms in the area is about 90%. Daily. But money talks.

They're halfway through the 3rd round :derisive:

I've a bet on Francesco, so that's keeping me interested. I haven't seen a single shot though
