    He's looking pretty good. Has lost some of the bulk too. Fair play.

    Right Shane, level par through the next 3 please.

    He's really struggled with 7,8,9 the last 2 days. +6 for those 6 holes

    Com'on Shane!

    shane playing with the korean AN, Byeong-Hun and both -4 so far. really dragging each other along.

    great par on 7 to exercise the previous demons! par always a good score on that hole.

    I'm wrong there - he is playing with gallagher and manassero.

    Just par 8 and 9 and I'll be very happy.

    .

    Some achievement by AN.... A long way to be dragging anyone. He's in the group ahead :)

    Lowry is paired with Broberg today. He really needs to concentrate on his own game because from what I've seen of him, Broberg can be very hard going.

    Depends on who's the stronger personality I suppose, my money's on Shane :)

    Super tee on 9. A few feet to get him to -6

    Coverage was a bit behind. He has birdied the tenth now. Up to -7

    I know he's quite a bit off in terms of points etc for the Ryder Cup, but surely he'll be in with a big shout of a Captains pick.

    Not too many other Europeans in better form since Wentworth.

    I'm not so sure. Poulter and Westwood will definitely get the nod, regardless of form. Too many with experience ahead of him. But I'd love it if he did. I like the cut of his jib.

    Presume there's big world ranking points on offer here, anyone know where a top 5/6/7 finish would put him roughly?

    3 captain picks this time around so he might be in with a decent shout.
    I'd have him ahead of Westwood but then again there may be some slight bias there :)

    His WGC Matchplay win v Rory 2 years back may help Paul with his selection story. The story is getting better. I think he'll sneak in.
