Has Shano dropped one or is the Open website just really sloooooow to update the Leaderboard? Still at nine?

He's at 10, watching live on sky.

McIlroy still on 8 over after 2 holes, he needs to gain 6 or 7 shots this round to make the likely cut.

Shane is live on featured group on Open website, for those that don't have Sky...just have to sign up with email and name to watch

It looks like he is done unless something remarkable happens...looks like cut will be +2 at the moment.

Yeah he has been pretty solid so far to be fair to him...he is probably due/owed one at this stage....if for nothing more than to stick it to Monty

Pissartist

fair play to Clarke at plus one i really hope he makes the cut,
any change in the wind ?

why sky think watching a middle aged woman spend 5 minutes on a driving range trump showing actual golf coverage is beyond me.

Dame Laura Davies is one of the greatest female golfers the world has ever seen.
Hall of famer, 4 Majors, topped both tours and won 85 times on both tours.
Greatest British Female golfer on British TV.

Would you have the same post if they had Nick Faldo in the zone?

It was a tutorial in how to play in a jacket.

It's not like golfers in Britain and Ireland are used to playing golf in the rain.

It's crazy. And as a commentator she sounds like she is commenting Sunday mass.

Something seems off with their coverage, can't put my finger on it.

Not the usual razzamatazz sky throws at you

Don't get me started on Gender balance!

Pick the best people for the fcuking job.

Your wan with the big knockers on the cart is decent at interviewing so keep her on

Remind me

If Lowry can get to 12 it would be a brilliants days work and force a few lads to go after it tomorrow in what’s expected to be tougher conditions

He'll be lucky to finish on 10 with the stretch of holes he has remaining

Remind me

He has every chance to get to 12 the way he’s playing regardless of the holes. Bar 16 he is through the toughest

That sort of comment has no place in here. Cop on

Stevieluvsye

I jest but which comment, i made two

But i stand by line 2

McIlroy is losing it. Missed a simple putt for a birdie on 5.

Is there some awful slow play going on?

FixdePitchmark

I'd already given up on Rory.

but two holes there very easy birds . mills driver . no up and down.

most lads are trying to hole shots Rory isn't getting up and down from.
