    Without seeing the conditions - you feel if he is aiming for middle of green from 180 yards - he should hit it.

    But well done - nice to see him up near the top.

    You can believe or not believe in stats if you want.

    But his driving is up 18 % now up to 60 %

    His a little better than field in putting - his GIR are up.

    He is not losing ground on field in putting.

    The stats for today were impressive. I mentioned in a previous post how his driving has been on and off day to day.

    Driving accuracy: 78.57%

    Greens in Regulation: 77.78%

    Lovely round from Padraig today - let's hope that gives him confidence going in to the weekend. Pity about the bogey on the last, but a fine round. Delighted for him.

    The pros will never risk been short on that hole. The bunker he was in will be very busy all week.

    Must see what wind is like.

    How often should a top pro hit green from 180 - 8/10. ?

    Even look at his playing partners, they were both on the exact same line as Padraig and he hit it a yard further and just about into the bunker. He didnt hit a bad shot when you consider how tough the hole is. Pity about the bogey. When you hit 3 good shots on a hole and you come out with bogey its a good indication that the hole is difficult.

    From recollection its all water to the front maybe a little bit of the lhs is not over water but long is always the play. I would suggest He is not aiming for the middle of the green more the back. So if middle is 180, from 200 yrds hitting a yard or 2 long is a small margin of error, i presume if he is in the bunker the direction was good??
    I think tiger has holed a few monsters there in his time from the back of the green if memory serves me....

    I agree with what you are saying - but he will be disappointed not hitting green from there imo.

    He had wrong club - was between went lower club - I'd say he was 7 or 6 or between clubs - looked at back as a better bail out as you say.

    Will watch hole tonight. I think people say accuracy is better than distance - but that hole is an example on the tour - that you have to be long.

    Haven't seen it, but sounds like he was taking the really serious trouble out of play if he was between clubs - like a good pro should I reckon. Probably figured he could get up and down from the back bunker but no way to get up and down from the lake.

    Apparently Padraig has started with 3 pars, despite finding the water with his second on the par 4 3rd. He chipped in for par it seems. Nice bonus there after what wouldve been a costly mistake

    Pity about those bogeys. Let's hope he has a good round today - could finish with a nice enough cheque.

    Pity about the three putt bogey from 22 feet on the 18th. Bad way to finish the round. Let's hope he puts it behind him and has a good round today.
