    He's always used the 2 ball from what I recall. Different versions of it at times alright. Used the blade style one like Harrington for a bit

    Just read online he's switched to a Spider this evening. Must have been reading here. Might have borrowed one off Rory for a go

    Hopefully they start getting some scores today, both not up to much considering the scoring around them

    Strong back nine by the lads ..great chance of the win now. Most of the leaders who scored well today are unlikely to be as prolific in foursomes …no big names there. So here's hoping.

    Putt on 3 was missable but it will have sucked the life out of Shane, another tiddler missed early Sunday when youre in the mix. Coupled with a pretty poor tee shot off 1 with a fw wood and it's (probably) an insurmountable road back now. Shame to have shot themselves in the foot so early, although youd have been certain theyd have done it at some point.

    I'll be honest - the 2 of them look like lads on the last day on a trip to Spain.

    Would be only delighted if Im eating my words with a belt of single malt in about 90mins time! Some huge putts from Rory and Shane's gotten his act together.

    Playing serious enough golf last couple hours. Par at 17 and birdie 18 could do it

    Shane with a couple of stickers on the last two letting the side down.

    They weren't easy shots but poor execution on both.

    Two poor iron shots in a row possibly going to cost them a win

    Bogeyed 17 after a poor Lowry tee shot and with Rory absolutely smoking his drive down 18, Lowry again hits another poor iron shot.

    After the bad start to the round a play off is probably a good result

    The other lads hanging around for 3 hours probably wasn't great for their chances

    A win like this might have great knock on effect for both Rory and Shane for rest of year

    No need to be so negative. A win is a win! And it probably gets Shane into the remaining Signature Events.

    Wasn't meaning to be. But that leaderboard was full of nobodies but McIlroy and Lowry. And that playoff went exactly along those lines. You could see the moment that lad choked on the par putt. And that was after a number of wayward shots. Just not lads who play at the business end of things.
