Was in the same boat and cashed out. If he was ahead outright by even one i'd consider letting it ride but the fact Walker is 1 ahead and Choi is level means i can't see the 6 under holding up. Still hope i'm wrong as Sneds nearly deserves to win after his round in that yesterday.

Damn haha

Can't remember the last time there were three ROI golfers playing in a regular PGA Tour event - is this a first?

HighLine

Lowry, Harrington and McGinley played in the AT&T at Pebble Beach last year but other than that, I can't think of another recent event.

2006 Masters

Bonus point if you can name them!

Harrington, Mcginley and Am Open winner Brian McElhinney

Kevin Phelan played 2010 and 2013 US open but Only Harrington From ROI

Shane Lowry doing well over in Phoenix... currently tied for the lead with Mickelson at -5.

Speak Now

Shane is holing some bombs today. - 5 after 9 (back 9) including a 2 at the stadium hole (16th).

He'll have enjoyed that! Great start - hope Paul Dunne can follow.

vienne86

Shane is joint leader with Phil - having a stormer! Let's hope it inspires the other Irish playing later.

HighLine

Shane now sole leader thru 12 holes at -6.

vienne86

Shane on top of the leaderboard on his own now! What a round! Can't wait for it to start on TV.

Don't forget PH

Great tee shot for Shane on the 4th, 6 foot birdie putt coming up.

HighLine

Shot tracker says Shane hit it to 5ft on the par 3 4th... really wish I could watch this now!

ItsChecoTime

-7 now, great round he's got going

markthespark77

shane playing some great stuff, 2 shots ahead now..

vienne86

Right, a 2 shot lead for Shane.....we'll see what Sky have to say about this!

Speak Now

Phil blowing up just ahead of Shane on the course, just dropped 4 shots in 2 holes. Back to -1.

Speak Now

Bunker to bunker, 7 foot for par on 5th.

First bogey.

It was awful

Anyway this is great viewing, the coarse look exceptional!

My weekend sorted

vienne86

Ugh, Shane's approach on 6 just inches short, and rolls back. Hope we get to see more of him.

Mantis Toboggan

Course looks immaculate

vienne86

Another bogey!

PokeHerKing

Get home to watch Shane live and bam goes bogey bogey and sky there for every minute of it. Typical.

markthespark77

super birdie on the 7th.

ItsChecoTime

Yes great putt! Back to 6

vienne86

Ah good man Shane!

vienne86

Lovely second shot on 8.....another birdie chance.

It was just a par. One hole to go.

Montgolfier

Feherty said "it's one of the few games left that you can still have bad habits" comment after Lowry hit his Tee shot. Did he mean golfing habits?

And now he says that Lowry is from Mullingar. Because he won the Mullingar Scratch Cup. :eek:

vienne86

Par on his last for Shane. A round of 65 - very nice indeed.

Meanwhile Harrington has started par bogey bogey.

Shakey_jake

Will be interesting to see how Dunne copes on the 16th : )

I suspect Sky will have gone off the air by the time he gets there.

Just picked up his first birdie on 3.

vienne86

Harrington safely on the green at the stadium hole.

Did play get stopped? Sky leaderboard shows dunne as just finished 13th, lying at -1.

Delighted for lowry, hope he keeps it up.

Yeah play was delayed in the morning due to frost.

CMOTDibbler

Play suspended due to darkness. They had a delayed start because of mist which obviously had a knock on effect.

Paul Dunne still has five holes to play, sitting at -1 after 13.

In other news I see Keegan Bradley got a penalty for having 15 clubs in his bag. Pepsi must be in a bit of trouble

Apparently play was only delayed by an hour yesterday morning so you would have thought they would have got more played than that!! Someone must be playing at snails pace.

Last shot Sky showed was Dunners approach to the 9th. Gob****e in Sky studio said it was his last hole and a nice way to finish his day!! :rolleyes:

Couldn't have happened to a nice guy

vienne86

Paul Dunne ended up shooting 72, which is disappointing - dropped two shots in finishing out round 1 today.

I think he has more or less turned around and gone straight out on round 2.

Yep, and birdied his first hole (the 10th).

Edit: I notice he bogied the 16th (stadium hole). I'd say he couldn't get off that hole quick enough

Opened with a birdie, back to level.

CMOTDibbler

Bogied the second, back to +1

vienne86

Three bogies and one birdie so far for Harrington

vienne86

Lowry opens with a birdie!

Paul Dunne needs to pick up another couple of shots to make the cut.

vienne86

Dunne had a level par round so is +1 - doesn't look like it will be enough to make the cut, but might get lucky. Top 70, is it?

HighLine

Think it is top 70 anyway... looking like 2 Irish will be going home early.

Elsewhere.. wtf was Poulter at here putting one handed during a tournament round??

vienne86

Lowry hated his drive on the par 3 7th.......but holed a monster for birdie!

Sky showing him this evening.

WHIP IT!

I would have thought it might be a rule infraction to putt with a hand in your pocket. I don't really know why, but in the crazy tight and uncompromising rules of golf, I would've have thought you were breaking some kinda 'anchoring' rule?!

FixdePitchmark

The guy is an idiot.

This thing is funny - but also head in hands at times.


golfers when they try "be cool" - arent.
