    Battle to make the cut now.

    Have a word with yourself pal. He was never in danger of missing the cut.

    Great finish to get in at Level.

    He was actually.

    When I posted he was 3 over and right on the projected cut line having just bogeyed the 11th.

    And I'm not your pal.

    agree,he definitely could have crumbled under that start.Impressed the way he battled back but he still only parred the par 5s which is awful if he wants to finish high.In fact the difference between him and Rose on par 5s is 7 shots!!

    Fair play to him, battling finish both days. Has had a pair of 6s in both rounds so even par and top 20 into weekend gives him something to build on.

    Out with Fleetwood today. Recovered well from a bad start missed a chance as course was playing easier. Par 5’s is the big difference in where he is and in the pointy end. Maybe a change of tactic

    So why is Shane scoring so badly on the par 5s?

    His driving is quite good and his short game is excellent. Is it that he keeps trying to go for the green in two and keeps getting into trouble? Or is some of the issue psychological?

    I don't like his driving action, so easy to block the ball right like that

    67 or 68 should put him right in the mix going into Sunday

    Seems a more aggressive/around the body swing than before... Or am I imagining that

    Conditions meant to be a lot tougher today with pin positions and wind. Hopefully suits Shane.

    Thought the same myself too.

    Didn't like the look of it at times.

    Doing very well though !

    Disappointing 3 putt from around 30 feet at the 16th. Back to level par.

    Terrible 3 putt, 2 awful putts!

    Rain delay a disaster for him. He should have been in the clubhouse while leaders faced worst of the conditions. Instead they will be firing at pin on soft greens all afternoon

    Bad luck alright, although disaster is a bit strong.

    He’s been doing badly on the par 5s all year. Just looking at this week I think he’s -1 for par 5s. That won’t get the job done at Augusta. Matsuyama is -9, Rose is -7 as examples of players at the top of the leaderboard so his game otherwise is right there.

    All about how many ranking points he can pick up today for Ryder Cup. Not too many other Europeans up there.
