    Thats a really impressive debut in lousy conditions.

    Worth a tie for 14th (along with Lowry) as things stand...

    They could well end up in the top 10 before the day is finished, some performances especially from Dunne

    Shane's final round of +1 moved him up 27 places (so far) and Paul's +5 round moved him up 3 places. Speaks volumes for the difficulty the players faced.

    Dunne just announced he got an invite to this week's Phoenix Open... a big event that's great to watch on tv.

    Did sneds just win a million today without hitting a ball - class.

    Don't ever want to see kj in contention again - his pace of play is joke - a good bit of money at stake , but he was 3 minutes over a 5 iron lay up.

    There won't be many better rounds this season than Snedeker's 69 yesterday. Fair play to him, always seems like a good guy.

    Delighted to hear Dunne will be in Phoenix this week - always a high-profile event.... and that stadium hole will be just like the first at Greystones on Captain's Day - ie, everyone is locked! :cool:

    That stadium hole... Hated it at the start but definitely one I look forward to now.

    Can't beat that warm feeling of a short one knowing there's another halfway through. It's usually the only thing I have to look forward to walking off 9 :-)

    Was in the same boat and cashed out. If he was ahead outright by even one i'd consider letting it ride but the fact Walker is 1 ahead and Choi is level means i can't see the 6 under holding up. Still hope i'm wrong as Sneds nearly deserves to win after his round in that yesterday.

    Damn haha

    Can't remember the last time there were three ROI golfers playing in a regular PGA Tour event - is this a first?

    Lowry, Harrington and McGinley played in the AT&T at Pebble Beach last year but other than that, I can't think of another recent event.

    Bonus point if you can name them!

    Shane is joint leader with Phil - having a stormer! Let's hope it inspires the other Irish playing later.

    Ugh, Shane's approach on 6 just inches short, and rolls back. Hope we get to see more of him.
