Hopefully they start getting some scores today, both not up to much considering the scoring around them
Strong back nine by the lads ..great chance of the win now. Most of the leaders who scored well today are unlikely to be as prolific in foursomes …no big names there. So here's hoping.
Nervous start for Shane on first
shane definitely feeling it
Putt on 3 was missable but it will have sucked the life out of Shane, another tiddler missed early Sunday when youre in the mix. Coupled with a pretty poor tee shot off 1 with a fw wood and it's (probably) an insurmountable road back now. Shame to have shot themselves in the foot so early, although youd have been certain theyd have done it at some point.
mixed blessing being with Rory,if you don't hold up your end you will be in the headlights with nowhere to hide
Another shocking putt
I'll be honest - the 2 of them look like lads on the last day on a trip to Spain.
Absolute unknowns carving up the course .Lads struggling for a top 10 🤨.
Would be only delighted if Im eating my words with a belt of single malt in about 90mins time! Some huge putts from Rory and Shane's gotten his act together.
Playing serious enough golf last couple hours. Par at 17 and birdie 18 could do it
Mcillroy carrying Shane for last 3 holes
Shane with a couple of stickers on the last two letting the side down.
They weren't easy shots but poor execution on both.
Two poor iron shots in a row possibly going to cost them a win
Very poor from Shane at 17 and 18.
Bogeyed 17 after a poor Lowry tee shot and with Rory absolutely smoking his drive down 18, Lowry again hits another poor iron shot.
Poor by lowry on 18....lot of pressure on Rory now
Ballsy by Mcilroy
Shane looking antsy waiting to putt.
After the bad start to the round a play off is probably a good result
In the side door, but in is all that matters
A leaderboard of nobodies
Well done lads. 25 pga wins for Mcilroy.
Delighted..Some beers will be sunk tonight…
The other lads hanging around for 3 hours probably wasn't great for their chances
A win like this might have great knock on effect for both Rory and Shane for rest of year
Did someone say this gets you a 2 year exemption?
Would.shane need that now ?
No need to be so negative. A win is a win! And it probably gets Shane into the remaining Signature Events.
Wasn't meaning to be. But that leaderboard was full of nobodies but McIlroy and Lowry. And that playoff went exactly along those lines. You could see the moment that lad choked on the par putt. And that was after a number of wayward shots. Just not lads who play at the business end of things.
Nice for Rory and Shane to win. A bit anticlimactic how it finished with a missed putt sealing the win.
Yeah it seems to carry all the benefits of an individual win. Not sure about world ranking points?
