or go up if he hangs around!!

Shame to see so many "from this island" missing the cut.

It kind of seems like they couldn't be bothered.

Rory now also outside the cut.
if he misses out as well id say the crowds will be way down at weekend

rory who?:D


seriously theres two irishmen up the leaderboard that can do with some support!
paul cutler played great today, his approach shot on 18 has to be shot of the day!

DH2K9

GMAC 3 under (4 under for the day) thru 8

Id be surprised, and if he did look for one it would be bad form especially in your national open

Thank God I have Sky Sports. The commentator with Shane O' Donoghue on RTE has a horrible voice.

Something like 19,000.

Rory cant get a putt today. Great stuff from Moriarty from under the tree there.

att anounced as 25'000 for thursday exactly how much is discover ireland putting into tourny prize fund cos the attendences will cover the prize money easily and rte have had to pay for tv rights so another 250 grand on top of that

How is playing a 6th shot from the tee even possible? I can only imagine hitting 1st shot, 3rd shot, 5th shot etc is possible....unless he got a 1 shot penalty for slow play or somethin else....I don't know I'm not watching it :P

LuckyGent88

If Moriarty was to keep up his good play here and lets say gets a top 5 finish, is his caddy (17 year old local caddy) entitled to the same % of the prize money as J.P Fitzgerald would be? or would they have there own contract drawn up

double GG

What happened to Barrie Trainor? I just seen he has been disqualified? How come?

LuckyGent88

McIlroy is starting his charge

Is Rory not 2 under alongside GMac or is the European tour app playing silly buggers again?.

i would imagine he would have agreed to things before tournament but i would say that if he finishes top 5 he will be looked after

Jul3s

Projected cut now level par, so looks like McGinley and David Higgins in for the weekend

rory now -4 still not a hope of wining though at least crowds wil be decent

yes no chance in hell he would have to shoot 2 low rounds which he wont be able to on this course and need singh and others to have a mare

Presume its a wind up saying he doesn'thave a chance?

Just look what he did at Quail Hollow and you will see what he is capable of.

Looks like it but who can tell after this one

it is a terrible field if rory and gmac didnt turn up then i could see it not being played next year

Speak Now

Cut back to -1 with 4 Irish lads on par.

John Kelly and Mark Murphy still have it in their own hands though.

Opics

Players have won from 7+ back with 18 to play. I don't see how winning from 5 back with 36 to play is impossible.
