Had a double, no triple (This week....yet!!!)

Top 20 finish would be nice.

3 under for the first 6, should be good for that top 20 from here

Topped the ball.

Shot tracker is so stupid sometimes. 2nd shot on a 600 yard par 5 goes 11 yards to the green!

mickmackey1

play-by-play is gone kinda barmy :pac:

soundsham

Shoot 30 on back 9 and makes it a win and off to Augusta.....
Just saying

Good question! Currently one shot outside top 10 with 5 holes remaining for him. Id say he'd skip Spain and play the Heritage if it situation arose as he's due to play in the Zurich classic the following week it would suit to stay Stateside.

C'mon Shane!

At the start of the week I was hoping he would make the cut.

Fair dues to Shane scoring a 66 today and making the cut with 2 shots to spare after yesterday's 78.

It was the lowest round of the week so far. Now tied 30th.

FixdePitchmark

Slow start, hopefully he can pick a few up on back nine.

Now + 1.

FixdePitchmark

Bad week for Shane.

When he is hot, he is hot and bad, bad.

Looking at the scores on certain holes - it is unusual for the pro to have 3 bad days out of 4 on the one hole. Shane had 3 holes were he was bad
Hole 1 = + 3 for the week
Hole 3 = + 3 for the week
Hole 16 = + 3 for the week

9 shots on 3 holes.

Anyway , a bit of amateur analysis.

Trampas

back across the pond for next week.

hope this hoping back and forward doesn't effect his game to much.

abff

Bad start for Shane. 2 over after 4.

bigtimecharlie

Lift, clean and place on the fairway isn't making any difference.

ssbob

Poor round in scoring conditions, would expect him to shoot low today but needs to get to at least -2 to make the cut!

AGC

-2 thru 9. Will probably need 2 more to make the cut.

The young Chinese lad inside the cut mark

FixdePitchmark

Following Shane is a rollercoaster.

He can be 74 one day , 5 or 6 under the next.

4 under today. 2 under and in cut now.

That young lad at -2 . Unreal .

Steven81

One day he will click for the 4 days and when that happens win number 3 is on the way.

4 under for the round, 2 under overall so here for the weekend

Which looks to be exactly what's he's done. Gives a whole new meaning to "Thank God it's Friday". If he could just bottle his Friday form and apply it to the other 3 days.;)

abff

Actually. looking at the leaderboard, I think Shane may be in for a tense couple of hours. Cut likely to be either -2 or -3, and I think it may depend on whether the wind gets up this afternoon. If conditions stay calm, Shane may end up with a weekend off.

paulos53

If the cut stays at -2 then he is going to need another good round tomorrow or he could miss Sunday due to the MDF rule

abff

I was watching his progress on ShotTracker. Seems to have scrambled really well apart from the par 5 7th. Hope that doesn't end up causing a missed cut.

Eaglebridie 32

64 now -3 or better. squeaky bum time for Shane now !

bigtimecharlie

Hope he sneaks in.

Speak Now

Looks like he'll miss the cut, played well enough just struggled with the putter.

charlieIRL

according to the PGA website and the app its still saying the cut is -2

Yes tied 67th with still 11 of the players at -2 on the course. I'm expecting it to go to -3 with conditions and scoring so good.

Speak Now

And with a blink of an eye, he's now tied 71st.

MungoMan

whats the criteria for making the cut ?

Top 70 pro's and tied.

If more than 78 make the cut they use the same criteria after round 3 as well.

Speak Now

Tad Ridings bogeyed his 17th so he drops back to -2 (tied 70 now).
Tianlang is on -3 so it's top 71 and ties really.

Top 70 pros, Tianlang is an amateur.

Sadly, hes not going to make it..........

Brave performance though, great recovery from yesterday.

69th now with 7 of the -2 still on the course.

Very similar to last week, Parnevik missed a short putt to bring 22 others in Saturday. PGA must be pulling their hair out at the thought of a repeat

Im more optimistic than I was half an hour ago, there's a few on -2 actually going the wrong way today. Tied 70th now but only 3 of the -2's still on the course. 1 unders are a threat also but similarly you could get some of the -3's falling back. Fingers crossed!

abff

Too close to call. Tied 69th right now with four players on -2 still to complete their rounds. Fabian Gomez sank a 35 footer on the 18th about an hour ago to get to 3 under. That could end up being the difference between Lowry making it and him missing the cut.

Speak Now

Chalmers just holed a 19 footer on the last to go -3.

Tied 70 now with 2 players on -2 playing the par 5 - 7th (their 16th) together.

Edit: One got the birdie so tied 71st now.
