Only by a shot. Coelsarts shot a 65.

Speak Now

fair shooting, a 9 birdie round when only -7 is leading after 36.
Field very tightly packed for weekend.

Jaysus, a first round 93. I think that's the highest I've ever seen in a pro tournament. Fair play to him for coming back out today.

True enough....Colsaerts must have been one of the later finishers.

Shane +3 today at the turn. The guy is a lunatic!!!

Aidric

Harrington like consistency from Lowry. +5 today to drop back to level par and right out of the championship.

Crikey, anyone see what happened here?

Usual crap an Irish guy wins a tournament and it is like you all que up to have a go at knocking him.

I am living in Ireland for about 9 months now and i have to say you seem to spend all your time knocking each other over and putting your friends down.

I think there is an important question to be asked here ???

The guy won your national championship and did so in fine style.

Justin Rose was tipped for greatness but it took him years to claim his first victory.

Give the guy time.

BS.

Harrington, for example, was top of the World, winning two Majors, then f**ked it all up by deciding to change things, and we all see the result. Everyone was delighted with his success, but nobody could understand why he changed everything. His PGA round, on that Sunday was incredible, 14 putts in the last 13 holes, one of the greatest finishing rounds in Major golf.

Any criticism is based on failure to understand why he is where he is. He has failed to qualify for the Ryder Cup, something unthinkable two years ago.

As for Lowry? He has a hell of a lot more support than you might think. Any perceived criticism is from a will for the lad to do well, not a wish for him to fail.

i agree, i'll hold my hand up and say i honestly didn't think he'd keep his card this year,but why are Irish people so set against the odd negative comment about Shane or any other player,we don't all have to love the chap and support him, but as you said most want him to do well,to those who don't i don't see it as a big deal.
You'll hear Brits giving out all the time about their sportspeople but you never hear the Brits being described as begrudgers just us Irish

Cant buy into this one. Sure you may be the one who's criticism is willing him on to win but there are plenty who just slag off players for the sake of it. I was not having a pop at you, so the BS was not required.

Shane Lowry ate my hamster.

Harringtons work ethic and search for perfection is following a very similar path to Nick Faldo's, Faldo too was an awful man for change and "tinkering" with his swing, and any body of my age will remember a kinda little "sump" he went into after his first 3 majors, (I say slump in " as a don't think Harrington is in one still won over $4 million and has a loada top tens) But he went on to win 3 more, when the hard work and tinkering paid off.

I fail to see how Harrington "f**ked it all up" does he not still have his 3 majors?

conno16

if he didn't decide to redesign his swing tho he might have had 5
remember it was a weak period in golf whereby there were no outstanding players and majors were there to be grafted out
harro got above his station and figured he could become a truly world class golfer with style in abundance
if he just stuck to the nuts and bolts his trophy cabinet might have looked mightily impressive
still tho, he is a legend in irish golf circles as far as i'm concerned
i'll never warm to him because he doesn't have the necessary talent and poise but thats another story
tbh i expect him to fade away much like clarke has done over the last few years. he'll reappear for a final day run every now and then of course.

the time now is for lowry to step up and become the RoI number one
gmac and rory are streets ahead of him at present but he has the potential to be ireland's second best golfer before long

You are deliberately misinterpreting my post.

What has Harrington won since the PGA victory?

Why change what was , obviously, working ?

conno16

for what its worth gophur i completely agree with you

his game was never going to gain him the plaudits i'm sure every top golfer craves but you dont change a winning formula
its the same as an F1 driver winning a few gps, then deciding to bring his honda civic to the track
nuts, absolutely
