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.

joebloggs32 · 20-01-2022 11:44pm

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!

hawkwing · 21-01-2022 12:19am

-7 now after 17, T3rd...

Rikand · 21-01-2022 12:42am

Great first round. He's in some form :D

Motivator · 21-01-2022 12:55am

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.

AyeGer · 21-01-2022 1:06am

Was he getting much coverage tonight?

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

AyeGer · 21-01-2022 1:52am

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

Deeper Blue · 21-01-2022 5:05am

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.

billy3sheets · 21-01-2022 8:41am

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.

PabloAndRoy · 21-01-2022 12:57pm

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.

Lad GAGA · 21-01-2022 1:16pm

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

The Big Easy · 21-01-2022 2:39pm

Keep her lit Seamus!

Scrabbel · 21-01-2022 3:27pm

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.

PabloAndRoy · 21-01-2022 3:32pm

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

Panrich · 21-01-2022 6:09pm

Seamus in a featured group from 5:30pm.

Panrich · 21-01-2022 7:25pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118513272#Comment_118513272

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.

21-01-2022 10:28pm

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

The Big Easy · 21-01-2022 10:46pm

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.

hawkwing · 22-01-2022 12:05am

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

Scrabbel · 22-01-2022 12:13am

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.

Panrich · 22-01-2022 4:32pm

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

blue note · 22-01-2022 7:05pm

He's going okay so far

Heighway61 · 22-01-2022 7:23pm

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

billy3sheets · 22-01-2022 7:24pm

-4 after 5 holes! Was joint leader for a while.

hawkwing · 22-01-2022 7:38pm

Pull easy Seamus and give the others a chance!on fire today :-)

Icemancometh · 22-01-2022 7:39pm

Flying!

Scrabbel · 22-01-2022 7:43pm

Wow! -6 for the first 6 holes. What a start; hope he can keep it going. We should see plenty of him when the main coverage starts at 8.00

hawkwing · 22-01-2022 7:44pm

No mention on the 6-1 news of course. TV showing Mickelson 23 shots behind Seamus.

The Big Easy · 22-01-2022 7:53pm

On fire currently, -6 through six and tied for the lead 🔥

loadwire · 22-01-2022 8:03pm

In the water on 8

loadwire · 22-01-2022 8:07pm

Got a par I think

Icemancometh · 22-01-2022 8:11pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118518394#Comment_118518394

Yeah, a good recovery.

loadwire · 22-01-2022 8:23pm

In trouble on 9 now, might be a double

Edit: was a bogey

Panrich · 22-01-2022 8:30pm

Just needs to keep it steady now. Two easy par 5's coming up at 11 and 13 so chances to get the round right back on track.

22-01-2022 8:54pm

Jesus, the US feed on Sky Sports is wojus. Showing Phil make a par putt on +7 instead of showing some of the leaders. Why don’t they cut over to Wood’s house to ask him how he is getting on?

Scrabbel · 22-01-2022 9:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118518584#Comment_118518584

I think that’s just the pre-8pm coverage, isn’t it. It’s not aiming to (or I think even allowed to) do the normal coverage all focussed on the leaders and stars around the cut.

22-01-2022 9:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118518663#Comment_118518663

I’m just starting to realise that. Ooops! Might want to ease up on the cans .

Panrich · 22-01-2022 9:20pm

I'm not sure how much faith you can put in the 'play by play' tab on the pga site but if it's accurate, Seamus has three putted twice in the last three holes (the 9th and 11th).

Scrabbel · 22-01-2022 9:22pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118518669#Comment_118518669

Not if Seamus and Shane both win tomorrow!

AyeGer · 22-01-2022 9:30pm

Hoge or Power don’t seem to be getting any coverage and them leading, absolutely pathetic.

Scrabbel · 22-01-2022 10:07pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118518741#Comment_118518741

You’re right. They’ll show Cantlay walking around for 2 mins but not showing anything of the top 6

joebloggs32 · 22-01-2022 10:26pm

Its always the same when an event is played over 2 or 3 different courses. Its a huge feat to even have cameras to cover all the action on one course, so in events like this coverage is mainly restricted to the course where the last round takes place.

A few cameras are sent to the other courses but the reality is that they will generally only capture a few holes at each location.

A lot of people frustrated tonight, but think back to coverage of the first two rounds in the Irish open. Often an Irish pro like Sharvin or Hoey gets a draw in a feature group. No disrespect to either player, but outside of Ireland few would know them, yet on the Thursday and Friday there will be plenty of their shots shown. Same happening tonight on the US feed. Normally a Friday cut sorts out this problem, but no cut until tonight.

PARlance · 22-01-2022 10:30pm

We'll be seeing a lot of him tomorrow! It could be a spectacular day for Irish golf.

blue note · 22-01-2022 10:57pm

Have they shown anything from him? I turned it off for a long while, but I literally haven't seen a shot from him.
