12 over for Paul dunne after 2 rounds! Not good prep for the open.

I assume that is your prediction as he hasn't teed off in Round 2 yet.

Strange, the app I'm using has him down for two 78's, maybe it can see into the future!!

Are you using flash score?I saw that earlier but if you go into his rounds the 2nd is identical to the first

LuckyGent88 · 25-08-2016 11:57am

Can anyway explain to me how/why Jin jeong is able to play each week on tour??

Every time he is always last shorting massively over par scores.
Last year he played nine tournaments and missed 9 cuts so had no RTD ranking and this year has 20 missed cuts out of 20 tournaments with a stroke average of 77.5

That's just a joke for a professional on the tour.

He is playing under a 'medical exemption' according to the European tour website. That being I am guessing that he was injured for a period of time and is given X amount of times grace after that to play in tournaments without having to retain privileges by the usual means?

I've been keeping an eye on him myself since I saw him hit a shot in passing when up at the K Club this year. He hit a ball off a tee box so far right into trees that if I had done it myself I would have been disgusted. He was about a fairways width off course. We were saying "who in the name of God is that fella" and noted his name as he passed.

Can't be easy for him out there and he is obviously giving out money hand over fist on travel, accommodation etc etc without ever taking in any winnings. He was a tour event winner in 2013 so whatever has happened to him, I suspect we won't be seeing his name around much longer once his medical exemption expires.

Solid start by Paul Dunne. He needs a decent week to secure his card.

Martin567 · 25-08-2016 5:11pm

Tom Lewis has had 10 birdies, an eagle and two pars in his first 13 holes today.

He's -12 with five holes to play, including another Par 5. If he pars his way in, it will be a 59. Potentially looking at a 57 or 56!

LuckyGent88 · 25-08-2016 5:12pm

Just tuned in again. Tom Lewis is 12 under thru 13 so it's 59/58/57 watch time.

LuckyGent88 · 25-08-2016 5:14pm

And we have jinxed him. Bogey on 5

LuckyGent88 · 25-08-2016 5:40pm

Lewis chips with left hand below right. Never seen a pro do that before.

Mantis Toboggan · 25-08-2016 6:24pm

Excellent effort by Paul Dunne so far today and good showings by Lowry and Cormac Sharvin too.

Peter Lawrie alas......

Mantis Toboggan · 27-08-2016 2:44pm

Great to see the fans turning out in Denmark

Seems to be alot more going on there along with the golf with a rock concert taking place after the golf. Interesting stuff from the Danes.

The 16th seems to have been twinned with the same hole in Scottsdale but without the drunks.

Tom.D.BJJ · 28-08-2016 11:16pm

T10 for Paul Dunne nets him 33k and moves him to 105 on the Race to Dubai. I think that might be enough to secure his card ðŸ‘

fullstop · 29-08-2016 4:44am

Any word on why Lawrie WD after 9 holes of round 4?

Not a chance. He is 105th position with only top 110 getting their cards and still 8 weeks left to run. He is only about 4k ahead of the last spot. He is about 10k ahead of the chasing pack.

His top ten finish last week will be a big bolster for him though as it has jumped his category up this week from 16 to 7, so it gets him in to Switzerland, where he would have been left out in the cold. I'm not sure what other events he will play at, but you would imagine that he is guaranteed at least a sponsors invite to the European Open considering it is being held at his "home from home" so to speak. He might not get to play at any other tournaments.

I think he needs a good result this week. If he could get to €210k I think that should be enough to see him through, so that's about another 23k required.

Of course, it all depends on what the guys behind do and whether or not they are playing over the next few weeks.

I was wondering that myself. I've tried googling it, but can't find any explanation for what happened.

LuckyGent88 · 08-09-2016 3:52pm

Very interesting initiative taken at the Dutch open. An ameteur gets to tee off on the par 3 14th alongside each three ball of pros. If they then hit it inside the pros, the ameteur gets two airline tickets!!
Seems to be going down well anyway. A 13 year old off 2 just beat colsaerts, yang and Gallagher!!

Quite a few shanks though

Also, Chris wood not playing good at all and Pieters had to pull out as he got an allergic reaction to a bee sting.

Yes, nice idea. Handy when an airline is a sponsor!

Serious performance by Joost Luiten to win his home championship. Never easy to do it with all the pressure.

Always liked him as a player. Really aggressive, shows his emotion and always seems to be enjoying himself.

First Up · 11-09-2016 3:21pm

And a top 20 finish for Paul Dunne. Should go a long way to securing his card.

Up to 102nd now but only 20K ahead of number 111 at the moment so still needs a few cheques I would imagine.

True but 20k goes a long way at that end of the table. Not everyone behind him will be playing in all the remaining events and eight of them would need to do quite well to overtake him.

I'd be optimistic - assuming he can make a couple of cuts I'd say he's OK.

Tom.D.BJJ · 12-09-2016 2:21pm

I see Paul is playing the Italian Open next week, as are Harrington and McGinley. Any word on when we might see Lowry again?

Didn't he say he was taking five weeks off?

i reckon if he makes the cut and gets a half decent few quid then that could be enough. good run last week, but needs to make less bogies!
