Typical Rory this is. So frustrating.

power cut here.

missing Rory hero run but fizzilling out at end.

so many easy birds are the par 5s and he made very little of them.

majors are about hanging in there. yesterday, his finish did him.

Didn’t see an earlier coverage, did Rahm play poorly?

Check your fuse box, your mrs probably switched the power off 😊

First major for Westwood having his girlfriend on the bag seems to be working out so far.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/19/lee-westwood-caddie-girlfriend

Westwood was asked what on-course discussion generally entails.


“Dinner, where we’re going on holiday,” he replied with a smile. “You’d be surprised the sort of things we talk about out there. The favourite one was from Denmark the first week she caddied for me and I took out a divot because it was big and soft and she’s walking back with the divot. I said: ‘What’s wrong?’ She said: ‘I hope there’s not a worm in this.’ It makes me smile. It’s a big advantage.

Its not like he was frequently carving it into railings and it bounced back into play or anything.
You could apply that logic to 90% of anyone who has ever won anything though.

I disagree, he was very lucky. He got into that hanging on mode which doesn't suit him. He was so close to bad situations on. 15, 16 and 17 and got away with it. He was down the middle on the last and hit an awful second shot and paid the price.

This might sound crazy but if Rory was to make the cut, he’d have the best of conditions tomorrow. Shoot a 66 get to 3 or 4 under have the best of conditions again on Sunday you never know. Stranger things have happened

eagle eye

Currently 71 players at +1 or better.

If (when!) it goes to +2 then Sugrue and possibly McIlroy will be in...hopefully GMac also

Hmmm +1 could be the cut

If that goes below 70 then the cut goes out to +2 yes?

PhuckHugh22

A golf stats site I use is giving it as 63% to go to +2. 37% to stay +1

So more chance of it moving to +2 than staying at +1

Fun while it lasted today. Poor enough shot there as it was a handy pin if he just went middle of the green

It's gone to 72 players now. Not looking good for the +2's.

It’ll be a shame if Sugrue misses by one

I thought the later players were getting tge best of it tomorrow

Yeah disaster of a triple bogey today.

bunker for rory

Few people moving off +2 back to +1, so not looking good for cut moving, although a few tricky holes to finish.

Mushy

He ain't giving up too easily

Regardless what happens form here this has been great from Rory. Fans getting a great viewing today

LuckyGent88

What a shot. Hopefully gives himself the chance to try and birdie one of the last two to make the cut.
