Another almost flawless round. Very controlled.

Hope he sees it through.

KeithAFC · 19-06-2011 01:34AM

One more good round and he has won it. I think it would be great for this island overall if he won it. Regardless of his politics.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup · 19-06-2011 02:04AM

anyone else kinda glad he hasn't tweeted since the tournament started? he was tweeting everyday after each masters round, maybe it was a small distraction.

JONJO THE MISER · 19-06-2011 02:10AM

Maybe his twitter machine is broken:(

Politics doesnt come into it anymore, nor does religion. We have grown up as a country since the Good Friday Agreement, we now accept each other regardless of place of birth, Country of Allegiance, religious views.

COME ON RORY MY SON

3:20pm local, so I guess 8:20pm Irish time

Definitely more focused this time around.

it's working, he's just to busy watching hangover 2 and other dvds and trying to win the u.s open with a 8 shot lead

glennhysen · 19-06-2011 08:52AM

Very controlled performance last night, the way he chipped out on the third and still made par was great to see and showed the maturity in his play. Hopefully he can do the same this evening, no need to do anything crazy and if he's in a bad position just take your medicine and limit the damage.

mike65 · 19-06-2011 09:47AM

Only takes a a couple of holes to have an 8 shot swing remember

*joking*

You shouldn't joke !
2 double bogyes from Rory, 1 birdie from Westwood, say in the first 6 holes,
would leave the lead to 3 ... it's happened before

He's only covering his arse. Surely watching a newly released movie on laptop or DVD would be piracy?

bigtimecharlie · 19-06-2011 01:37PM

Harrington out with Kaymer at 17:20 irish time.

Can Harrington get under par??

sunbabe08 · 19-06-2011 01:40PM

wouldnt mind seeing what the greens are like right now and where the flags are for the day

Odds on they've set it up penal to try to bring the scoring back a bit. They set it up short and accessible yesterday to try to give the field a chance to put in a challenge - Mcilroy foiled that by putting in a score himself. It could be that a final day 80 will be good enough for Rory. Put yourself far enough ahead so that you can win even if you have a final day collapse and card 80. Good thinking.

I don't know who calls the shots in the world of golf but with golf needing a new superstar to take over from Woods i don't think the powers that be would be too eager to reign Rory in right now.

KingEnda · 19-06-2011 02:04PM

Big Big Big day for Rory. If he does it today and I believe he will he could go on to dominate the game as Tiger did

PARlance · 19-06-2011 02:08PM

If they go for though pins, lengthen the course, you would have to say it can only be lost by Rory via a "complete" meltdown.
If they set up as in R3, then a few decent scores could be posted, gap closed, and maybe a "mini" meltdown by Rory will make it interesting.

If I was them I'd set the course up for low scores

It's the USGA in this case and they are very keen on maintaining the US Open's reputation as the toughest test in golf. They normally aim to have a winning score of around par. In this case, they will probably content themselves with trying to get the field bar Rory down to something like that score - they could handle a dozen or so players being under par, but if half the field is under par, they would feel that they had let their standards down.

My bet is that Rory shoots something like 69 and wins by 12.

stockdam · 19-06-2011 03:58PM

It's a big day for Rory but I don't see anyone getting close to him. He'll play within himself and still romp home. Might just pop down to Holywood and see if I can gatecrash the celebrations.

darkman2 · 19-06-2011 04:14PM

Looks like it will be the second British win at the US Open in a row.

nocal · 19-06-2011 04:26PM

Sang-Moon Bae has 5 birdies on the front 9. There are low scores out there again today.

nocal · 19-06-2011 04:43PM

Harro birdies the 1st. The charge is on

Bluefoam · 19-06-2011 04:46PM

Eurosport have Rory listed as British... Surely Northern Irish would be the correct nationality... ?

Anyway, I hope he has a fantastic round today whatever nationality he chooses to play under. What an awesome player

7 o'clock so. Thirty minutes of Monty is a bit much for me.
THANKS
