    Id doubt he won that much Charlie, sounds more like race to Dubai points.
    For example last week was $7million prize fund but 10million race to Dubai points.

    He won €77K with his 34th today.

    Again that sounds likd Dubai points. He won $66k according to HSBC breakdown which is less in Euro of course.

    My mistake. Yes, he got 77,230 POINTS.

    Where is the prize money listed? You can normally see it listed on europeantour.com if you click on 'Ticket and Event Info' but they seem to have been very shy about the money this week, it's not listed on the WGC results posted on pgatour.com tonight either :confused:

    I used this in my initial calculations
    http://golfblogspot.co.uk/2014-hsbc-champions-prizemoney-purse-payouts-winnings-earnings-money-list-c/

    There's a full list here, only $1K less than what i thought.

    Its bad when the official site cant get it right, they have the points he won the last 2 events marked as Euro. You'd think they'd figure out a simple way to show both.

    No wonder people like me can't figure it out - that's poor from the European tour.

    If he doesn't win this week, it's won't be from the lack of protein

    Probably picked it up by mistake!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,078 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Just switched on Sky. Shane started with a bogey follwed by a double bogey. C'mon lad.....forget the breakfasts!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,776 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    +3 after 4 on a course that's a birdie fest. Bogeyed both par 5's so far. Already 5 and 6 shots behind his playing partners! Hope its not a repeat of last weeks opening round.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,219 ✭✭✭benny79


    jesus christ what's going on with him! He must have a mental block of getting into the top 50!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,078 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Aaaaaargh.....he has such a wonderful chance this week....what has got in to him?

    Picked up one birdie. Now + 2 for the first 9. Needs to get going with birdies....everyone else seems to be doing it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,776 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    3 birdies in a row so back to par after 11, -7 leads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,872 ✭✭✭abff


    Now 4 birdies in a row and 1 under for the round. Great recovery by Shane.

    It's a birdie fest there today. He is a long way behind, but yes, fair play for hauling himself back. Mechanic going well, so hopefully some of that will rub off on Shane.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭markthespark77


    5 birdies in a row. -2 now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,776 ✭✭✭Speak Now


    5 in a row, sweet!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,078 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Sky just showed everyone EXCEPT Shane on the 5th.....mechanic, fair enough, but Donald on +2! ......and then they show his tee shot on the next, but it seems to have disappeared!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,105 ✭✭✭bigtimecharlie


    And now live coverage of him.

    Looking good.
