6 birdies and 5 bogeys for Lawrie today, now Peter lets break 70 a couple of times over the weekend and pick up a decent cheque.

sydneybound · 12-06-2015 2:39pm

Jeez this course looks rough and I'm talking about fairways and greens!

Doesn't come across well on TV at all.

Same old story for Lawrie. 3 over through 9 and dropping down the board like a stone.
Every bloody time.

It must be heartbreaking for him. Let's hope he can steady the ship and put in a decent round tomorrow.

He got of to a great start, -3 thru 8, but bogies followed on 9 & 10.
-1 thru 13 and T23 at present.

Birdie on 15 to bring him to T17

Finished with a 70 and currently tied 18th. Will earn him some world ranking points and move him up a few places in the Race for Dubai. Hopefully, he can build on this.

Level par for the weekend.

That is progress.

You just feel he needs one really good week. I see he has an invite to the BMW in Munich in two weeks' time.

Kevin Phelan -5 after 14 in BMW International, currently tied 3rd.

McGrane -3.
Lawrie -2 after 11.
Clarke -2 after 10.
Hoey -2 after 16.
Lowry level par.

Aside from Clarke they could all do with a decent pay day towards getting next years playing rights.

Phelan and Hoey on a tear this morning. Both on -7

Mantis Toboggan · 26-06-2015 11:18am

Isn't this is flagship event? Strange that Poulter heads off to Japan to play.

Not a flagship event but Poulter did play in the U.S when the BMW PGA was on.

Kaymer has taken at least 20 mins over a drop on 18. The longest wait the guys in Sky have seen.

Kaymer bogeys and crashes out of his home open again.

He spoke very well the other day about wanting to support the Euro Tour.

He is a decent bloke. I'd imagine he wants to make cut.

But, was watching him a bit - he has been very poor since that collapse in that lead he had. Where was it again ?

He was pulling shots, too long - he just doesn't look a major winner at the moment.

Nope, official was there from the start!
They were trying to establish point of entry, the first (& correct) point was 40 yards back from the second point... it hit a tree that was inside the hazard but some branches were outside... they were trying to establish which branch it hit.
They called in Wayne Riley and got Sky to act as a video ref, sky couldn't determine conclusively.

Sounds comical! Glad it didn't disrupt Shane in finishing off with his birdie.

Anton Kirstein, playing in the last group, has just birdied his 18th hole (the 9th) and moved the cut mark from -2 to -3. Reduces the number of players making the cut from 77 to 65.

All six Irish players made the cut. First time in a long time that I can remember 100% success in making the cut for that large a group of Irish players.

Great work from the six Irish players. I was travelling all day today, and only checked my phone app this evening and when I couldn't find Peter Lawrie's name on my first scan of the leaderboard......then I found him! Big chance, but as another poster has said, he needs to have a better Satruday than he has had all season.

razorblunt · 28-06-2015 1:14pm

Should be a good afternoon in Munich, Hoey, Larrazabal and Paisley all at 15 with plenty out on the course within 3 shots.

vienne86 · 28-06-2015 3:37pm

Pity Hoey seems to have run out of steam on the back 9.

abff · 05-07-2015 3:36pm

The 18th seems to be causing a lot of problems today. Currently averaging 5.14 after 43 players have played it. First time I can remember a hole playing more than a full shot over par on average.

The wind was much stronger for the early finishers. Now that the bad weather has passed them by, it should be a bit easier for the later groups. Sucker pin, though for those needing a birdie.

vienne86 · 05-07-2015 5:44pm

Wiesberger deserved that - he really played well, as did Morrison. Disappointed for Dubuisson, but it was a good afternoon of golf on TV.

Speak Now · 09-07-2015 10:05am

Nice to see the one tee start in operation at The Scottish Open.

Steady start for Padraig, -1 after 4.

McGrane level after 13.

McGinley +5 after 10.

Lowry off at 1:10 with Larrazabal and The Mechanic.

Speak Now · 09-07-2015 11:39am

McDowell turned in 30 shots, tied for the lead at -5.

Speak Now · 09-07-2015 12:04pm

Poor David Duval shot +7, no surprise there you might say!
Unfortunately he started and finished with quadruple bogey 8's.
You could say he showed some promise being -1 for the middle 16 holes

Felexicon · 09-07-2015 12:38pm

Dying to head out on the links after watching this all morning but I'm stuck at home waiting for furniture delivery

Justin Rose just took out a spectator without any shout of fore. What a bold boy Justin is. (Rephrased for Keano's delicate ears)

That is just completely unacceptable. It should incur at least a hefty fine but I would support even heftier sanctions - 2 shot penalty and d/q if it happens again.

vienne86 · 10-07-2015 10:07pm

Another missed cut for Damian McGrane. He's having a rough season.

vienne86 · 11-07-2015 8:06pm

Gotta hand it to Brooks - he had a woeful start, but it back on the top of the leaderboard.

PARlance · 12-07-2015 3:59pm

Jacquelin nearly pitches in for eagle on 2. Hope he does the business today, nicest swing in golf imo.

markthespark77 · 12-07-2015 7:12pm

looks like a win for fowler, some shot in at the last for tap in birdie..

sydneybound · 12-07-2015 7:13pm

What a drive and wedge by Fowler on 18, deserves to win it.

Good scoring in perfect conditions in Switzerland this week fabulous looking place. A few big names in the field - Garcia, Westwood, Willett.... Top of the Irish is Peter Lawrie on -5 after two rounds.

vienne86 · 25-07-2015 9:22am

The 1 unders made it to the weekend, so Garcia survived. Peter Lawrie best of the Irish, out with Bernd Wiesberger.

vienne86 · 25-07-2015 7:54pm

Great to see Philip Walton going along nicely in Sunningdale - -6 for the tournamet right now, after 11, three behind the lead.

abff · 26-07-2015 12:27pm

Great to see Peter Lawrie having a good weekend round for a change. 65 today has him currently in a tie for 20th. Should finish in the top 25 or thereabouts and pick up between €25,000 and €30,000 plus a world ranking point or two.

Surprisingly, he's moved up a few places since he finished. Now in a 6 way tie for 16th. Some strange scoring going on out there. Lee Westwood has had a 10 at the par 5 14th. :eek:

Monty looked pretty irritated with Langer on the 12th green. Monty was trying to tap in for his bogey while Langer was repairing 101 pitchmarks in readiness for his birdie putt which he duly dispatched. After back-to-back bogeys, Monty is tiring of the slowness of his playing partners and Langer knows it.

The master tactician knows exactly what he's doing

lostatsea · 26-07-2015 6:06pm

Marco Dawson is looking good. He never won a PGA tour event - best finish was second. More interestingly he was involved in two incidents involving the disqualification of playing partners after incorrect drops. The players involved were Brandel Chamblee and Esteban Toledo. Toledo was so pissed he sacked the agent they both shared. Don't see too much talk with Dawson and his playing partners. I'm cheering for Dawson at the moment but he is painfully slow.
