    I'm following that leaderboard, and if it looks like he's in the hunt/goes close to the lead, I'm out to the local who will have it on :D

    Think it's to the pub for you!

    Have to wait till the first nine at least, OH has to drop his son home :)

    It's a golf pub, so there'll be a few fans there.

    I was away for the weekend in Sligo, and watched the match yesterday in a pub which put on the match through sheer force of regulars, but there were about 10 fans there, it was horrid

    Sounds a good weekend. Now if Shane finishes it'd be great.

    Would it be his biggest finish/win ever if he stays where he is/does better?

    /trying to word this in such a way as to not jinx it or have the post come back to haunt me :)

    This is looking perfect for Shane.

    It is not exactly the most intimidating set up or leaderboard. Great chance.

    I think he can take this. Has the game for it.

    T10 in a Major holds more weight for me anyway.

    Amazing how Rose a few year ago - looked like he was going to win all over the shop.

    I find it hard to listen to him these days. Not sure what it is - it is real "I am Justin"

    ANyway , come on Shane.

    I remember Rose starting out and thinking he was going to be a real force to be reckoned with.

    I also remember Shane coming from nowhere (to a casual fan like me) and winning the Irish Open

    Go Shane!

    I wonder if the amount of time showing adverts exceeds the amount of time golf is shown on Sky. Very annoying.

    Bubba's on a run now. One behind Lowry. With Rose and Furyk falling back it looks like Lowry vs Bubba for the win

    Was just thinking the same. I've a very unpc story about staying in my inlaws the year Bubba won one of the Masters, and my putative MIL making comments about his name.

    Am I imagining things or is he another of the evangelistic golfers?
