    Of course Christy Senior was before OWGR.

    I had actually forgotten Dunne had reached that level.

    One Win changes everything. Some 14 year old finished third on the Asian tour the other day and broke into the top 500 in the world. Dunne won the British Masters which had a rake of OWGR points because McIlroy and a few other top 20 players were in it.

    Pro-am format is slowing things up big time. 6 holes in 2 hours for Seamus.

    Looks like another week where the winner will need tons of birdies and eagles. Thankfully Seamus has got out of the blocks fast. - 6 with three to play!

    Another bogey free round of 65 for Seamus. Fantastic round of golf from him but unfortunately I saw none of it. His putter got hot last Sunday, if he finds form with it he’ll win again I’m absolutely convinced of it.

    On a side note, the pro-am must be incredibly frustrating for the pros. Imagine being -6 or -7 for your round and trying to stay focused and you’re waiting on Gerry the 20 handicapper to play his 5th shot into the green. 5.5 hours for a round for a professional must be mind numbing.

    Watched the last two and a half hours on Sky. All they showed of Power was his final 2-put on the 18th.

    That's not great, he'd need to be leading to get decent coverage which is a shame.

    And they'd already shown a leaderboard with his finishing score before that so we knew the birdie putt wasn't dropping. Hate when they do that.

    He's matched the best score on the Nicklaus Tournament Course at -7. Wasn't much coverage of any golfer on that course. I guess trying to cover 3 courses at the same time presents difficulties for whoever is doing the camera work and commentary. He's on the Stadium Course today so might see more of him.

    I thought the general coverage last night was awful. Its not Sky's fault as they are just usng the US feed. They seemed to be obsessed with Kizzire, Woodland and Jimmy Walker, none of whom were threatening the top of the board. Woodland and Walker were struggling,

    Even Cantlay who was clearly having an amazing round got very little coverage. He was -8 through 8. Show us that! ... No "here is Jimmy Walker still struggling".

    Seamus (suddenly an establshed PGA Tour player) had a great round. Delighted for him. He is playing one of the three courses with TourCast tonight so at least we can keep an eye on each of his shots.

    Another great, bogey free round. If he can keep this form up win number two will happen sooner rather than later.

    Interesting what you say about Tourcast. I was wondering why we weren’t seeing it last night for Seamus. Glad to hear it’ll be available on the other courses.

    It's only on the Stadium Course, so tonight we get it but not tomorrow.

    My sincere apologies on this. It was showing Seamus warming up earlier and it came up underneath about being part of a featured group but it's not on Sky anyway.

    Only -1 for the day after 12. Down to T25. Needs a strong finish. Scoring has to be low on these resort coursesm

    Has the two easier par 5s left, if he gets to double figures, it's no disaster, similar to last week, second round maybe taking the win out of reach, can still have another big week though.

    Good finish to keep him in the mix. Yet another round in the 60's

    Yeh, closing with 2 birdies keeps him in touch, at least for a possible high finish. [Updated] 4 shots back and tied 12, only 2 behind T3 is well in the shake-up. Great going again.

    Playing the easiest course this evening with a bit of wind could help him climb back up into real contention.

    He should do a streak down the fairway. Might get some screen time.
