I'm usually a big fan of CBS' golf coverage, with Jim Nance, Nick Faldo, David Feherty and Co. But they dropped the ball a bit Saturday.
They were showing shots as much as 10 and 15 minutes after they happened, and they all but ignored J.B. Holmes playing the 15th and 16th holes 4-under par. Holmes holed out from 215 yards on the par-5 15th for just the second double eagle on the tour this year, and he added a birdie on the 16th to get to 9 under, which at the time moved him into the top five.
But there were no cameras filming either the double eagle or birdie. The first time we saw Holmes was making a chip shot on the par-3 17th, and only then did they mention the double eagle. It's as if they were hoping he would bogey 16 and not appear on the leaderboard so they wouldn't have to mention the double eagle and the fact they had no footage of it.
