It wasn't vintage stuff for the Irish, but very glad to see Peter Lawrie make the cutt and earn himself 10K.

Peter picked up another $15,000 on Sunday in Abu Dhabi Invitational. Obviously doesn't count towards the rankings but nice to win a few quid when you've been struggling to make cuts with the last 18 months.

Definitely a pick up in his form, just needs to bring his game into the weekends now.

Yes, good to see his form improve. He won't get many opportunities this season, so hopefully the makes the most of those opportunities.

Unfortunately this was taken a few weeks ago, I came home the day before Abu Dhabi started :eek:

Anyway I was on the Metro just pulling into the station right outside the gate of the Emirates when I took this. They were getting set up early! Keep your eye on the tele over the next few days and you should see a few of the driverless trains whizz past. They are up on stilts, excellent service with futuristic stations. Was interesting when you sit up where the driver normally does!

Good start yet again for mcllroy, joint leader so far on - 7

Finished on -6. good round. Darren Clarke was going well (had an eagle), but finished on level par. Scoring is lower than I would have thought. McGrane going nicely on -2 after 14. Lawrie only starting - level par.

Lawrie finished on +1. He'll need to do better tomorrow.

So Nick Dougherty is on commentary - I have had mixed feelings about him in the past, but he seems to be doing good job today.

GMac getting good coverage - -4 coming up the last.

Edit : dropped a shot on the last!

The man is a machine, really growing into his role as best player in the world now. Needs to start adding a few Ws though to start causing his opponents to melt going down the back 9 on Sunday.

I'd love to have seen Gary stahl playing the fearless golf he did last Sunday if it was a 2001 Tiger breathing down his neck. Maybe if Rory can convert his good start this weekend and pick up another win on the Pga tour before the Masters that extra aura can help him eek out a few 'handed to him' wins besides the blow outs.

Even if he is bringing up the rear its great to see the Ballesteros surname back on the tour.

Since iv came back to these shores I haven't seen on tv at all. Is she even on sky anymore?

Nope. She did the intros for the Ryder cup, and that is all I've seen of her in recent years. I thought she was excellent.

I thought it was really odd, I don't think it was necessarily her fault but it seemed people didn't know what they were doing and when.

Not too sure about Rory's pink shirt but he is playing very nicely. In complete control of his game at the moment.

Funny listening to all of nick dougherty's advice on how to construct a good golf round. He should probably listen to it himself

Good to see Peter Lawrie having a better round today. It's touch and go whether he'll make the cut. Currently tied 62nd on 2 under but there are a lot of players still out on the course. Fingers crossed he'll make it. It would be nice for him to have a bit of good luck for a change.

Tied 58th now! He's in with a shout

Rory's iron play is just sick, he's coasting, pity his putter is cold the last few holes...

But when u hit 16 or 17 gir in every round it's hard to make all the putts in fairness.

His length on 17 was crazy 359 and nearly drove the green
