Some end to today's action.
Aguilar shooting 8 under for this back 9 to win by 1. Included an eagle on the last, holed out his approach.

vienne86 · 04-05-2014 11:24am

Tied 20th for Peter Lawrie. A much better week than any he has had so far this season. Let's hope he can kick on from here.

vienne86 · 07-05-2014 7:10pm

Is the Madeira Open on Sky this week? I doesn't seem to be on the schedule for Thursday.

No,showing women instead.must be putting most resources into the players this week

Wichita Lineman · 09-05-2014 11:26am

Looks like Sky checked the weather forecast before deciding what to show :rolleyes:

vienne86 · 10-05-2014 10:36pm

So the Madeira Open is reduced to 36 holes, and the cut will be made when they finally finish round 1 tomorrow. David Higgins and Peter Lawrie should make it.

vienne86 · 11-05-2014 6:13pm

Ah feck - see Peter Lawrie has retired....had played 16 of the second (and final) round. Anyone know what happened?

Trampas · 11-05-2014 6:16pm

It is with great sadness and deep regret that we report the untimely passing of caddie Ian McGregor during play on the final day of the Madeira Islands Open – Portugal – BPI.
Everyone at The European Tour extends our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of Ian at this time.

Following consultation with the players and caddies involved, however, it has been decided that play should continue and the tournament should finish.

A minute’s silence has taken place at the clubhouse and play resumed at 6.00pm local time.

All administration will be taken care of by The European Tour and we will help in any way possible.

big_drive · 11-05-2014 6:30pm

Awful sad news.

vienne86 · 11-05-2014 7:01pm

Saw this and thought it must have been just awful there today. I think he was caddy to Alastair Forsyth, who actually seems to have finished his round.

big_drive · 11-05-2014 7:12pm

Think it may have been his last hole, i think he started on 10 so was finishing on the 9th when it hapiened

Not sure if it was right to continue with the tournament or what. It was a hard call for the European Tour to make. But if they didnt restart i guess it would be awkward in terms of results, money, etc.

Couldn't agree more. Just shows how much money really runs the world unfortunately.
RIP.

I saw on Irish Golf Desk that Peter "withdrew as a mark of respect because a friend died on the ninth fairway." There were two other players who retired with one or two holes to play - presumably for the same reason.

Thanks for that. As I said earlier, I am stunned that they continued to play after this poor guy died. Fair play to Peter. It was another cut made for him, which was great.

blue note · 12-05-2014 10:05pm

Disgrace that they didn't call off the day after that. I'm shocked.

Was fairly shocked to read just now that the player who Iain McGregor was caddying for decided to play on after watching him die. Disgusting.

Fair play to Peter Lawrie for showing appropriate respect.

I think he was on his last hole, but I agree - it was awful that ANYONE played on....right up there with a certain football match in Brussels in 1985.

It seems to have been a shambles of a week, best forgotten. It was a shame that Peter Lawrie had made only his second cut. He deserves a decent bit of luck after this.

PARlance · 13-05-2014 8:29pm

Anyone watching the Europro tour on Sky?
Love watching these events.
John Morgan gives on course tips along the way.... Man he's some golfer.

GreeBo · 14-05-2014 9:14am

They should have ended it and assigned prizes based on current position.

Playing on when he was your caddy is kinda gross, he's a person not a feckin battery.

bigtimecharlie · 15-05-2014 10:50am

It feels to me like the European Tour season is only kicking off today, live golf in the morning and the afternoon.

Rikand · 16-05-2014 9:40am

A few Irish boys in with a decent shout of making the cut this week!

big_drive · 17-05-2014 10:19am

Great start by David Higgins today, -4 thru 9 holes to take him into the top 10
Massive weekend for him given the limit starts he'll have this year

Higgins picked up another birdie at 12 but bogeys at 13,14,16 are spoiling things now!

-1 today for Kevin phelan , up to around 40th. Hopefully a good one from him tomorrow, doing well enough for his first year on tour

Speak Now · 17-05-2014 12:54pm

Higgins will be raging, -5 for first 6 and +5 for last 6.

Nightmare finish for Higgins in a round that promised so much

Tom.D.BJJ · 17-05-2014 2:37pm

Paul McGinley is having an up and down day with four birdies and four bogeys. Currently level par and inside the top twenty.

ForeRight · 17-05-2014 3:17pm

I reckon Higgins is raging

vienne86 · 17-05-2014 4:22pm

Ah gutted for Higgins - we had a great first 9 and blew it on the homeward 9 - infuriating.

big_drive · 17-05-2014 6:27pm

Lowry and Phelan out together tomorrow for the final round. Should be good for Phelan and keep him relaxed as he'd know Lowry.
Lowry could do with a good finish tomorrow

mickmackey1 · 18-05-2014 12:41pm

Hole-in-one for Maybin

He's now had a 1, 2, 3, and a 4 on the 8th at PGA Catalunya!

FixdePitchmark · 18-05-2014 1:42pm

Nice to see lowry having a good week.

redzerdrog · 18-05-2014 1:51pm

Back 9 gona be interesting here its is very scrappy and there is a couple of twists to come here i'd say

Saying that I don't think anyone would begrudge Jimenez the win

slave1 · 18-05-2014 5:07pm

Well done Miguel!

Mr.Prodston · 18-05-2014 5:10pm

Absolutely delighted for Miguel. He's some man

RikkFlair · 18-05-2014 5:11pm

First Senior player to win on regular tour, he's something else!

SnowDrifts · 18-05-2014 5:14pm

The secret according to Miguel just now ... "good food, good wine, good cigars and a bit exercise"

Rikand · 18-05-2014 5:15pm

Oldest winner on tour AGAIN!

first time to win his home tournie and practically a shoe in for the Ryder cup

dar_cool · 18-05-2014 5:33pm

Miguel is surely the coolest man alive. Can't wait to see him at Gleneagles

big_drive · 18-05-2014 6:30pm

Great achievement to make Ryder cup again. I think a couple of big names are going to miss the Ryder Cup with players like Miguel getting in who maybe weren't expected to get there

Mcginley is going to have to make a couple of tough decisions with his picks

Rikand · 30-05-2014 11:00am

Good to see Dooby at the top of the leaderboard this week. Needs a few results to consolidate his Ryder cup credentials

TrapperChamonix · 30-05-2014 11:44am

Looks like Kevin Phelan well placed for the weekend. Currently at 129 on the Road to Dubai standings, a good finish here could go a long way to securing him a card on the tour next year. He'll not get in to all the big tournaments this year so you have to maximise the opportunity when it arises

The way it is shaping up everyone will be well placed going into the weekend. Only 5 shots covering the field who will currently make the cut

abff · 30-05-2014 6:17pm

Nice to see Peter Lawrie making the cut. Did very well to shoot 70 today after being tied 121st after the first round.

Brilliant - it had looked bleak for him again when I checked at lunchtime, but great to just find out he has made it to the weekend. Delighted for him - he deserves some luck.
