How on earth do they pop them balls out of that rough green side - and be like 3 feet or under away
I'd slip under it - or top it -
Unreal stuff.
He said exactly the same himself live on air 😂
FFS Shane. Didn't even touch the hole from 3.5 feet.
Things change quick in golf, one behind now and level with Zalatoris
Have they muted him now
Zalatoris holeing everything and now Shsne going to bogey again and be 5 behind
Heard them apologising for his "industrial language" yesterday. Anyone watching who's offended by it has likely never swung a golf club.
Unlucky not to be 1 behind, solo 2nd though so he's making a go of it
I've been told - (not 100 % sure if true ) - but it can be hard to show Shane live as his on course cursing and that can cause a problem on a live broadcast - parts of America are extremely strict on "cussing" as they say - you can shoot someone - but not talk like an Irish man.
Most areas do not allow obscene language at certain times under their broadcasting act - and Shane is always at it.
What do you mean
Zalatoris fast out of the blocks, lowry now 2 behind
I think it is funny - but the language out of him is mad. It doesn't really work for Sky and US broadcasters with him near lead.
Stacked leaderboard now. Steady 1st hole for Shane. Hopefully he keeps himself in contention for tomorrow
Well when there's only 20 players who have shot better than two 71s it's really good.
Very good round from Lowry, great to finish with the birdie. -1 appears to be good going today, nobody has bettered a -3 round yet today
Finishes at -7 anyway, great birdie on 18 following some bogies
Seamus Power will be hoping that Lowry doesn't add any birdies to his current score of -8.
There is a 10 shot rule this week for the cut. Power finished on +2 so a leading score of -9 could mean the weekend off.
Was going to say a certain birdie upcoming but commentary just said that was his 3rd shot
Coverage of lowry is shocking. Missing entire shots, coming in last minute on shots. Meanwhile I'm getting to see Rory scratch his balls
Take the money and put 10 or 20 on his current price.
Something possessed me to throw a tenner each way on him at 70s yesterday. Have never cashed out a bet in my life but he generally hasn’t played well here and the putting yesterday isn’t sustainable. Very tempted to take the €80 they are offering me.
Would love to see him back in the top 50. At his age and with the Portrush 5 year exemption up soon he’s in shady enough territory if he continues sliding down the rankings. He has been able to pick and choose his schedule for years it would be a shock to the system for him to start having to cross out the biggest weeks of the year in his calendar because he hasn’t got playing rights.
He dropped a couple nice ones and had a brilliant eagle chip in. Easy to say when it's going well but he did look very relaxed and comfortable addressing his putts. I thought he seemed to take a little more time in reading and his general routine.
Perhaps some time spent with Bob Rotella is paying off. Luke Donald mentioned it in commentary last weekend.
Let's hope he brings this form through the weekend and onto Augusta.
To me the good sign is his putting in general, please hit a hot streak up to and including The Masters
Very good round from Shane yesterday. He had missed the cut 5 times here previously with a best finish of T-67 last year being his best finish so it's not a course he has played well on. Any high finish for him here would be a bonus but still a long way to go as others have said.
great round but got his fair share of putts today but is playing well and hopefully can keep it going,bogeys are going to be plentiful this week so bouncebackability will be important this week.
Unreal shot on 17, should take lead back now
Just needs to calm down. A fk bomb with a pulled shot in round 1 when up there is a sign of tension.
What a run from the turn! Hopefully can keep it going now.
Ah come on, it's not ideal but happens a lot to all kinds of players, he had 4 3s in a row, couldn't quite make it 5.
He can get a little over excited though but he's that kind of player, needs to get up and down on the next to avoid boiling over again.
His mood swings are too severe at times though I'll give you, especially in round 1
Hits the top and bogeys. While it’s great he gets up to the top but worrying he drops a shot when he gets to the top of the leaderboard
Solo lead now, some back 9 so far. Draining a lot of footage today. Doubt that keeps up for 4 days but great to see
