    Just bogeyed 17 there now and probably needs a birdie. Par may just get him into a playoff but very tight

    Two further dropped shots in the last two holes. Looks like he's missed out again.

    I see paddy is trying to play in America this week. 7 over first round. Looks like he was all over the course today.

    If Gmac or Lowry for any reason don't play in the Olympics he should get in now! Would be great to see.

    Just finished reading the PH biography "Obsessed" by Paul Keane. Really good read. What an interesting study, and what a guy. Thanks to Ballyroan library.

    Yeah, I just saw that! I'd say he was cursing Rory after he made the announcement - would have been handy for him to be able to pretend that he'd have gone!

    Ah it's great for Paddy all the same, I'll be proud to see him represent us. I wonder what the field will look like in the end!

    Surely he will pull out too though ? If not out of contempt for the Olympics, justified and all as that would be, at least for his own self esteem as a golfer. Padraig still holds ambitions of being a serious golfer and to compete with the best. With his admirable positive and competitive outlook, he will surely see himself as still one of the upper echelon in golf and withdraw as the rest of them have done.
    If he went, it would be akin to throwing in the towel and going on the Challenge Tour. And I dont think that is in P's mindset.

    No offense, but I don't think you get Padraig. He was instrumental in getting golf into the Olympics and has always expressed his eagerness to play. For him, it's an absolute honour to represent Ireland in the Olympics. He's not a man to change his perspective based on what others are doing. I think it could be just the thing to get him back performing to the highest standard as he'll be really motivated, not just for himself, but for his country. I for one am just delighted he will be representing us. No finer sportsperson nor person could you wish for to fill that role.

    I couldn't agree more. I was going to respond to RoL's post, but you beat me to it and did it far more eloquently than I could have. In some ways, I was sorry that Rory and GMac had declared for Ireland as I was hoping to see Padraig there, but it now looks as if he's going to get a chance to represent us at the Olympics, unless Paul Dunne or Seamus Power or Michael Hoey does something extraordinary between now and the cut off date of July 11th.

    Japan Golf Tour

    Padraig is now -7, still 3 shots off the lead.
    A few other familiar names are playing there this week. Emiliano Grillo (-10), Charl Schwartzel (-7) and Victor Dubuisson (-6)

    Paddy now on -10 and 4 shots off the lead held by Grillo. A decent field. A packed leaderboard though so would need a low one to win tomorrow.

    Finished on 12 under in a 3 way tie for 9th place. Steady enough performance, with 4 rounds in the 60s.

    PH being seriously cavalier with his health and that of his family. Surprising from a seemingly sensible and level headed man, but he does seem very out of step on this topic. Is he letting his view of representing his country and an over-rating of the Olympics colour his judgement ? It seems so to me. Maybe now that the issue is really in his face rather than judged a theoretical one when it seemed the better golfers were going, he will rethink.

    did he not do a lot of work in trying to get golf at the Olympics in the past few years - I think I remember him talking about this at the last Olympics?

    He's not planning to have more kids in the short term... How is he being cavalier about his health or that of his family?

    I'm not really going out on a limb here suggesting that you didn't hear any of his interviews yesterday. If you had you would have heard him say that if he gets the invite then he will definitely go and also had good response why others were not going , plus he said he felt his wife would really want him to go .

    No better man than Padraig to measure the real risk of contracting a virus. I'd let the medically qualified advise on that, and I'm sure he has. Honourable mention for Mrs. P.H. at this point too though. Now there's a woman who has her head screwed on. Good on you, Caroline.
