    At this stage I'd be fair more confident with Shane over Rory. I really got the sense that Shane thrives on being up at the top from his Wentworth display.

    I kind of understand the point you're making, but bear in mind that it was Rory who finished ahead of Shane at Wentworth. I think a lot will depend on how Rory plays today - his Friday form is something that has become a major topic of conversation and it's almost as if he has a mental barrier that prevents him from playing well on Fridays.

    And he seems to have parred the first. Just switched on and weather looks OK there.

    Edit: Someone else is saying he birdied the first.....I'll keep watching!

    Think it was a par, lovely approach left him a decent birdie attempt but don't think it went in.

    BBC interviewed him on the range earlier, they aired it just before his tee off. Very relaxed and confident.

    I wish they would show us a bit more of him. Seems windy there, but he is good in windy conditions.

    If he can pick up a birdie (-5) then I think the cameras will get onto him.
    They're showing plenty of Coetzee since he went to -5 (then -6).

    It is a shame when we're watching so much of Ernie etc but that's just the way with TV coverage and marquee groups

    Birdie for Shane on par 5 5th.
    Had a decent stab at the eagle

    And a cracking bunker shot on 6 that should save par.

    That's a few players have had problems on it. Think Kaymer doubled it as well. Playing as the hardest hole. Hopefully he can steady the ship over the next few holes. The birdies will come.

    Big test for him now. Com'on Shane, finish on -2,-3 and it'll still be a very good round.

    Birdie at 11. If you go onto the Open website you can see him play 13.14.15 in a few minutes.

    For those of us stuck in work

    Well, I'm at home, but I am glad to watch these holes now, rather than watch Rory and Tiger practice. Nice drive there from Shane on 14.

    Two birdies on the back 9 puts him at -1.

    Shane was in the difficult part of the draw - late yesterday/early today. I hope he gets a bit of luck weather wise tomorrow.

    He normally plays better in the rough weather.
    Today should suit him.
