    Andrew Coltart giving the game away there. 

    Sky come back from a break for him to say Fowler is playing the last with a 2 shot  lead. Then they cut to Fowler on the 17th green with a putt for a birdie with the scores showing he is only 1 ahead. 

    Plonkers....

    I know MaGinley is over there but I'm not show whether the others are. Hennie said earlier about watching the early starters playing all evening. It was 7 something here but only mid day there.

    62 is a great score but it's a par 70 !!

    8 under on a par 72 is a 64 & wouldn't break any records.

    And as I type Coltart admits its not the best under par score......which is 9 under. 

    As I've said before, you can easily shoot a 62 around Barnehurst but you wouldn't say it was record breaking.

    I could easily shoot 62 round Barnehurst 



    …..then I’d carry on with the back 9

    Shift of pin positions on some holes could easily knock off a few shots.

    Are pins predetermined or can they move them where they want the night before?

    Finding Henie’s nasal whining and “Coldart’s” inability to pronounce his “T”s very irritating.

    Pin sheets are usually shared with players the night before.

    Thought I was ‘printing money’ with Fleetwood boosted yesterday to Evens to make the cut. 

    I’ll Never learn :-(

    So PGA can be very harsh considering scoring today?

    Yep, if they feel the scoring is too low they'll put the pins in harder positions.

    2 Players shooting 8 under and nearly 40 Players under Par. No doubt the USGA will toughen it up, particularly after the cut today.

    Dont they usually want the winning score to be Par ?

    Just seen the tee times for Saturday.

    Rory goes off in the penultimate group at 11.30pm BST.

    11.30 !!!!  

    Bloody ridiculous. That's 3.30pm LA time. Far too late imo. Final groups should be going out around 2pm at the latest.

    Not these days, the USGA has settled on a target of roughly -6 for the winner. LACC is an exception for lower scores, though it sounds like it showed some teeth after I went to sleep.

    I'll be setting an alarm and waking up for the back 9 if the tee times are as late tomorrow. Torrey Pines 2 years ago felt a lot earlier.

    Shame Rory isnt in the last group with Fowler as he won the Open in 2014 partnering Fowler in the last group.

    What’s everyone’s watching strategy? Staying up? 

    I taped it last night and got up at 6 to fast forward through. Will stay with it till about 11pm and the do the same tomorrow morning, but will have to condense the key rounds down to within an hour.

    Wake up at 645 and go to nbc sport to read Rory’s latest hard luck story

    Yes, he was still 5/2 early in his round but he looked the most likely to me. Didn’t do it though :-(  

    That was another one that was Rory’s there for the taking but he just couldn’t step up

    Rory played well. Just couldn’t hole anything of note. So many good long putts for birdie that grazed the edge

    Lesson learned. When you at rooting for two out of the three players always have a compensatory punt on the third. 

    If Rory was a 20% better putter he’d have passed tiger by now and be homing in on Jack. At least he’s still there or thereabouts all the time so you’d think it’ll drop for him sometime. Will be interesting ting to see whether Clark is a one time wonder or why here he hangs around the big boys on the back of this. Fair play to him.
