    Stephen Gallacher is doing his best to make things very awkward for Paul McGinley. Alone in second place, 6 under through 10 and 16 under overall. Great effort although I'd imagine GMac isn't impressed.

    Stevie g isnt the one making things awkward. David Howell is. If stevie finishes third, how could he not be picked!

    They're both closing in on Otto. What I meant - maybe I'm wrong - but if Stephen finishes 2nd, does he automatically qualify? Third gives McGinley free rein to pick the Poulters, Westwoods, etc if he wants. 2nd means McDowell is included in his selection choice. Or am I wrong in my thinking and calculations?

    Your spot on but I'm thinking Gallagher is gonna get a pick now either way and if he finishes 2nd GMac will get a pick. I think it's 2 from 3 after that.

    I was afraid to even speak about this - just picked up another shot. Oh please, please keep it up, Peter. He's had a miserable season ...... so far.

    I know. I hesitated before posting because I didn't want to jinx it for Peter. Crazy how superstitious we get at times!

    He only earned over 40,000 this year.
    card gone unless something happens.

    Can't be worth your while on tour on that sort of money.
    Must actually be losing money on tour. Flights hotel physio coach etc.

    When I posted he needed to be -2 for the last 4 including a par 5. Chance gone now but great round for him from nowhere.

    Pity about the finish, but 62 is a great score. Another good round tomorrow would go a long way towards securing his card for next season.

    I'd love him to keep his card. He barely hung on last year, and was very emotional about it. He seems like such a nice guy.

    2 over after 7 today, unfortunately. Looks like it's not going to be the big pay day he was hoping for.

    Just saw now that play has been suspended to allow Fabrizio Zanotti receive medical attention?

    What happened? :confused:

    UPDATE

    Just heard on the podcast that Zanotti was struck by a stray golf ball while he was on the 16th fairway.

    Oddly, they said that his group played on for a bit but that play has now been suspended? Must be serious enough?

    Hope all's alright, according to the leaderboard now he has retired from the event.

    I got hit in the jaw with a golf ball earlier in the week and i tell you its not a nice experience. Thankfully it wasn't hit at much pace but it still hurts like hell.

    Sorry to hear about your own experience. I have been struck too and it's no laughing matter.

    Just heard that Zanotti was struck on the head from a tee-shot hit from 14th tee (he was about to play on 16th fairway). He lost consciousness but has since recovered in hospital. Hopefully this won't de-rail his season.:(

    I'm not sure if someone yelled FORE but I hope they did.

    But play was suspended when Paraguay's Fabrizio Zanotti was hit on the head by a golf ball.

    Zanotti, who won the BMW International Open earlier this season, was on the 16th fairway when he was injured by a ball struck from the 14th tee.

    The 31 year old received treatment on the course and was then taken to hospital. Zanotti had started his round from the tenth at Kennemer Golf Club and was level par after six holes when the incident occurred.
