Totally agree . Fleetwood was shockingly slow about everything and I cannot understand why the clock wasnt put on him. Waiting for people to stop moving 200 yards away. Reading putts from 10 angles. Was delighted he missed that on 18.

Absolutely agree - it was painful watching on TV, so must drive other players mad.

Think it has moved Wilson up 600 odd world ranking places, say it mentioned somewhere that they were his first ranking points of the year.

636 points to be exact, now in 156th.

Just fantastic for him. It's the kind of thing that should give other lowly ranked guys a bit of a lift.

He had made 10k on the european tour last year - total

Before this event he had made 9k for 2014

Some roller coaster, Ryder Cup -> Q School 2013 (only earning Challenge Tour card) -> Winning first European Tour event... All in the space of 6 years or so.

Winning 20k in the last 2 years... But yet having career earnings of over €6 million.... Fine fine margins!

The Dunhill in the past 2 seasons has had a big impact on the career of guys who were in need of a big win to get back their careers. David Howell not as much as he still had his card, but it proved he can still win.
Massive for Wilson, the relief must be something alse

Going to the Algarve next Thursday and planning to go to the Portugal Masters on Friday (and hopefully on Sunday, if there's anyone Irish in contention). Would love to be able to follow both Padraig and Shane around, so hope they are on opposite sides of the draw (or, even better, paired together).

Decent draw for you abff, Shane out at 8.20 and Padraig at 13.00.

Plenty of other Irish for you to support as well with an even split on both sides of the draw.

Kevin Phelan 8.10
Paul McGinley 8.40
Simon Thornton 9.10
Gareth Maybin 9.30
Michael Honey 13.00
Darren Clarke 13.10
Damien McGrane 13.40
Peter Lawrie 13.50

Enjoy the holiday!

Slight resemblance!!

See Clarke and Howell out today in the same group. In light of Howells appointment to the Ryder Cup selection committee, could be a very quiet 3 ball..

Have a wierd feeling that Howell is only improving with age and could find himself on or around the outskirts of the team in a couple of years time. Could see him fishing for a pick already.....

With preferred lies Colsaerts needs a birdie on the last for a 59!

On the cut mark! Playing the last par 5, hasn't birdied one this week yet.
Hopefully Lowry can go low tomorrow, should still be aiming for top despite the 2 leaders out of site.

Anyone know why jacquelin was disqualified? His card appears to have cut off after 16 holes of his first round....

I tried googling it, but couldn't find anything. I presume he took an incorrect drop or played the wrong ball or something like that.

abff

I see four players in total have been disqualified. Unusual to see that many in one tournament.

Lads how is this tournament going.

Are they finishing today after 3 rounds.

played the course . Wasn't that impressed. You got the sense it was there because they were paying the money. I guess that is the way this stuff works.

All the great costal courses in Portugal and you have it in a sort of dried up swamp.

abff

No idea what's happening today. I was on my way to Vilamoura but a downpour about two minutes after I left my apartment made me think better of it.

The score hasn't updated since 11:04, but I don't know if this is due to a problem with live scoring or if play has been suspended.

abff

Seems to be back online. Lowry 3 under after 6, Harrington 1 under after 7, McGinley 2 over after 15. Padraig is 1 over for the par 5s this week.

I can't find anything online, but I wonder if it's related in some way to the fact that they were playing preferred lies.

FixdePitchmark

The whole thing is a bit of a disaster.

Weather looks good now - but they will be out of daylight soon.
