fucking gutted.aint bothered to leave yet as it's pointless.my tickets cost me £260 plus £20 for parking.
my ticket will be valid for tomorrow but i can't get the time off work at such short notice,and my lad can't take time off school as it's crunch time for his studies now.
i will go there later but will also be trying to get some money back.

No singles today, they're just finishing off the matches already in progress.

Don't they have some sort of policy like they do with cricket in terms of refunds, i.e. for each hour lost you get a percentage of your ticket cost back?

If not that's one huge oversight. I hope you get to see some golf today and get some money back!

Looks like they don't, or if they do they met the minimum requirements for a days play on Friday. Though they've issued a statement which gives the impression that Friday ticket holders will be able to use them to get in to another golf event next year.

Woods and Stricker 5 down after 10, Donald and Westwood taking them apart.

Westwood and Donald tanked them 6 and 5.

Stricker was keeping that parnership together by holing the putts, but Tiger looked poor. No wonder just about all the Europeans want to face Tiger in the singles.

cant believe they're not starting the singles today out of order for those that coughed up a lot of dough....yes it would have taken the tactics out of it a little by not waiting for all the foursomes and fourballs to finish to sort out how they wanted to line up (e.g. westwood and donald may have had to have gone head to head in the singles against stricker n woods).....but they've put the public interest to the back of the queue by doing it like this imo

I thought exactly the same when this was mentioned this morning. They have said that the only people allowed in tomorrow are ticket holders for today, which doesn't help people like arriba, unless he can find a tout to sell his ticket to on the way out to make a few quid.

I see the US TV stations are already making their excuses. I just saw this on the BBC website :

Andy via text: "Sitting in my hotel room in Chicago watching on NBC. Can't believe they just said Europe is winning today because of the weather, long rough, slow greens and local knowledge by playing the Welsh Open here. Any more excuses USA?"

Me too. They could have just sent everyone back out in the singles once they've finished their matches, sure their tactics would be fucked but it would be the same for both sides. Good chance they'd have a result tonight if they did, even if all the matches aren't actually finished - then they can just half the remaining holes and it's job done.

No way to tout your tickets either, think they've got your photo on or something. They should have relaxed this to allow people to pass their tickets on - just screwing them over even more by not doing so. There isn't even going to be a full round played as they were carrying on with the matches. I'd be fucking fuming.

If that's the case, that's crap, as they are not likely to get any money back otherwise, as they've seen golf today, and they had the opportunity to come back tomorrow.

I wouldn't be surprised of an awful crowd tomorrow then because there are going to be a few people in the same boat as arriba.

Molinaris halve on the last hole- Europe 5.5 USA 0.5 for the day.

Oh yes.
