    Both are managed by Chubby Chandler.

    And they are both the best of mates. Chubby not just their manager but also good friends as a result

    True, but that still won't get Westwood on the team if he is playing rubbish. Too many hot young tyros snapping at their heels.

    Agree, he won't go picking mates to play, but I'd be very surprised if he is not involved one way or another.

    Anyway, back to Shane!

    I see his New Years resolution is to read more, starting with King Henry's book as he sits in his first class plane seat :D

    they are starting to pull away at the top of the board, he needs a string of birdies and/or a one on 16

    Shock bogey by Lee so only 4 behind. Gutting considering his start, but still hope.

    Great par putt there to avoid a total head wrecker. Lets see if he make use of the par 5's.

    The leaders are not running away with it. A few slip-ups. And now there are some others making a run up the leaderboard with great rounds today - Mickelson, Weekly, Molder.

    But that was a weak birdie putt there on 13 where most would expect to pick up a shot.

    Wayward drive on 17, but at least he is on the green with his second, and not in the water as per yesterday.

    Wonderful finish. Round of 68 - on the 12th tee he was +2 for the round. He's now tied 5th, though others have holes to play yet.

    Tied 6th finish - great recovery today. Nice bit of momentum going to Pebble Beach.

    Very unlikely to move up especially Matsuya won and Willett won in Europe

    They are the two directly ahead of him. He needs regular results like this to maintain his ranking. Needs wins and/or top 3s to advance at this stage

    No change he's still 21st, won just over $200K in prize money.

    Yes, maintained 21. Big jumps for Matsayuma and Willett.

    +1 Everyone listed today on the OWGR between 12th and 43rd incl. moved since last week except Lowry so that result in Arizona kept him on 21st.

    A lower place finish would probably have seen him passed out by J.B. Holmes who was 24th last week and who also came tied 6th at the weekend, he moved up to 22nd.

    A half decent result in Pebble Beach could see Shane in the top 20, he's very close to Oosthuizen who's only ahead of him by a whisker - 0.0022 points average.
