    Anyone know where the golf forum is? Think I got lost and ended up in fashion and skinny jeans forum.

    Looks like he will need a round in the 60's to make the cut. Cut currently at -2.

    Currently on Level Par...still with a good chance I would think, great to see Peter Lawrie doing well though!

    Just started watching. No coverage on his round at the minute.

    -3 after 12. Good man Shane. Had a few bogeys on the late holes yesterday, hopefully he can do better today.

    Martin Kaymer just bogied the 18th and missed the cut.

    Token Lowry comment: good man Shane.

    That was great from Shane today - fair play to him - that took some concentration at the end.

    Turns out he'd have missed it even if had holed that putt!


    Shane off at 9:33. Field is packed, could get into top 10 and into contention with a good start.

    Scoring seems to be low today again - Shane going along very nicely at -2 after 7.

    Fair play, going well again. In the mix.

    Slightly off topic(sorry), another Harrington collapse in the U.S.

    Shame about the bogey on the last, but nice round.

    I'm afraid that the wheels have come off today. +5 on front nine.

    Good recovery after a terrible front nine. Did just enough to get within the places qualifying for world ranking points. I think he will get 1.32 points - not great, but better than the zero he would have got if he had finished one shot further back.

    Shane hasn't yet claimed his tour card apparently.


    He has now claimed membership.

    SL has accepted Temporary PGA Tour membership.
    This enables him to accumulate enough points through seasons end via sponsor's invitations to become a full member.
    However he may need to shave that beard to attract sponsors !! 😎

    Someone got up on the serious side of the bed this morning lol.

    Be interesting to see how he will split his schedule now, the only two tournaments confirmed at the moment are the WGC Championship and The PGA if I am correct.

    Don't forget The Open counts as well.

    Just looking at the schedule, the regular PGA tour events finish the week after the PGA.

    There are 2 events between The Open and Firestone/PGA.

    It's a fairly busy schedule this time of the year so we'll probably see him targeting the Quicken Loans national at end of July for a sponsors invite.

    So possibly 1 sponsors invite, 2 majors and 1 WGC to pick up enough points to get him a card next season.

    Reading is article this morning he thinks he is already in touching distance with $730K. He feels with a half decent week at either The Open, Bridgestone or US PGA that will guarantee his tour card. He will add the Wyndham Championship to his schedule if he hasn't secured his card. As a conditional member he can only get into the FedEx playoffs with a win.

    He seems to be pretty confident and plans to play both tours in the future. He actually caddied for Manchip in an Irish PGA event on Monday and will get some games in on links courses for the rest of the week.
