    Not a very confident interview this morning sounded kinda downbeat. Since he works in opposites that's probably a good thing!!!!

    -1 after five, good start.

    Can't believe I haven't seen him take a shot on BBC yet especially considering as he's twice an open champion. McIlroy having a shocker!

    Good man.

    Watching the golf on my laptop and TV. Harrington was just short for a birdie on 7 and is in a fairway bunker off the 8 tee, par will be a good result. Hopefully he can pick up something on the 9th.

    2 birdies, 1 bogey and 6 pars is hardly a roller coaster.

    3 bogeys on the back 9 means he's back to +2

    This hasn't been enjoyable at all today. The coverage has been poor and concentrating way too much on a select group of players for my liking. BBC totally ignoring some big names. And I'm actually sick of watching these guys hitting it out of the hay playing the lottery. I've decided I'm with Rory in disliking this kind of golf. Green > Brown

    Maybe he'll make the cut then.

    +2 isn't bad at all considering the afternoon scoring was difficult. He kept big numbers off the card which was a plus

    I couldn't disagree more with this. I think four days of these conditions is fascinating to watch. Is it purely down to luck that many players scored 10-12 shots better than Rory today?

    He should be within the top 50 by the end of the play. For his sake I'm hoping players start falling away!

    No, but Rory's putting has left him down more than anything. I wouldn't say that the lottery of playing from the rough will be a deciding factor because almost everyone is finding it and knocking it up somewhere towards the green. But I find it quite boring when players can't go for pins but rather have to play the percentages.

    It's been a really weird day. I mean for some reason 2 or 3 under doesn't seem brilliant and yet 5 over doesn't seem that bad.

    They can "go for pins", they just have to figure out how to do so. I think it's brilliant that there is at least one week every year where a lot of imagination is required. Watching players select the club for a particular yardage and then aim straight at the flag is the thing that gets boring at times.

    +6 now.

    what's the rule on the cut?

    is it top 50 and all those within 10 shots?

    Cut most likely to be +5. He will need to finish 4 4 to qualify.

    No ten shot rule, bogey last, needs big help, probably miss out by one unfortunately.
