Rory playing my golf, into bunker off the tee, second into another fairway bunker and then next into greenside bunker!

FixdePitchmark

Hard to put my finger on it.

But something nice about seeing them in real Europe.

Some low scoring today - hope Peter Lawrie has another good round. What a difference it would make to him to be in the mix at this event.

Do the greens look strange ?

Strange is one way of describing them. Other ways would be patchy, diseased, horrid, like a pitch and putt course etc.

Yes, slow too but appear to be rolling well, lads leaving putts well short at times on opening stretch...

I agree with McGinley - hate seeing Rory trying to play big fades/draws. He seems much better when playing fairly straight shots. Hopefully he figures it out today.

I fear Rory has taken a lot on with 5 in a row, I hope he gets through this and has something left in reserve for the Irish...

Imported grass with the native grass trying to come through as well I'd imagine.

Nice round of 64 by Graeme Storm today, slightly better than the 78 he shot yesterday

TLOA72

What was jiminez saying during interview? Can't understand a word.

Sponsors will be disappointed Rory won't be in for the weekend.

Looks like GMac will make it, just about. And Peter Lawrie will be there too. Great day from Shane Lowry.

Good to see McGrane get in at level par. Bit better than last week when he walked in after 17

He could do with a good week. His season hasn't really got going at all.

Miguel has just made ANOTHER ace. Some man.

A record 10th on the European tour 3rd this season!!
I see Eamonn Darcy in 3rd place with 7!

Tommy Fleetwood has had an albatross on the 4th and Gregory Havret holed out for an eagle 2 on the 8th.

All happening on the front 9 today

Diego Tristan

Lowry on a move today. Eagle at the 12th has brought him right in to the mix. Could be line for another big result at Wentworth.

e.r

Dont know if already mentioned, but the state of Tommy Fleetwood's hair ffs

Diego Tristan

Lowry's career record here is unreal.

2010 - T65th, €9,450
2011 - T4th, €191,100
2012 - T68th, €8,775
2013 - T12th, €70,436
2014 - 2nd, €527,770

Total of €807,531 pocketed from this event alone. Might take it over the 1 million mark tomorrow

vienne86

Peter Lawrie recovered well from his early bogey and double. I'd love to see him move up tomorrow.

Mantis Toboggan

Great round today from Darren clarke, 7 birdies and just the one bogey for a round of 66.

Amazing given Clarke's pure talent that he hasn't had a top 10 on the European Tour since he won the Open in 2011.

Often wondered about that. Does he have trouble concentrating or something? He seems very streaky.

What a brutal photo to run with for the winner, Getty as used by the BBC and others!!!

Peter Lawrie picked up €13,750 for his week's work. I know he needs rather more than that, but still a decent enough week for him.

Diego Tristan

Disappointing end to the Irish Open for Paul McGinley, having to withdraw before his 4th round with a back injury.

Had been in a good position as well in T24th.

So this week we have the Nordea Masters, and Peter Lawrie has got himself into the field - he has done very will getting invites this year.

Think I heard he's a committee member of some group which helps get him the invites.

No invite needed this week, he actually got in through Category 20. It will get him into Austria the following week as well.

He did reasonably well in the early part of the season, but he could do with a good week now.
