    I only got the last ten or so minutes myself, she seemed to be more working with the crowd and asking questions rather than swinging a club.

    There was some great stuff from Rory though and Niall Horan made for a very good 'pupil' - I'd love to be able to hit the ball like he does. :)

    McIlroy hit a couple of driver shots off the deck at the end. It was gobsmacking stuff. He also seems like a very good teacher. Very relaxed and very supportive. I hope the European Tour release the full video at some stage, It's very entertaining and informative.

    She didn't hit a single shot. It was all Rory, Horan and some young lad off +1 in the audience.

    He said he doesn't usually hold back with the driver:

    The chip following that drive ran right past the edge of the hole. Looked in all the way until the last few inches.

    Due to the delay yesterday, Rory had to go out this morning(7.30am) to complete his second round and he's now the leader at the halfway point, -15, 2 clear of Donaldson in second. Not a bad mornings work, he picked up 5 shots.

    Was hoping Tiger wouldn't make the cut in the Farmers because Sky were completely overdoing the love-in for him. It's great that he's back from injury but Jaysus there's lots of other players in the tournament.

    You, me and many others if the Sky Twitter feed is to be believed. They got very defensive about it during the broadcast last night but were defiant about it being the biggest story in the history of the world or something.

    We know why they do it; that doesn't make it right. At least he'll be off the course early so they'll be forced to squeeze in some coverage of the leaders between Tiger replays.

    It's even worse when he is playing bad. We end up watching a petulant tiger throwing a strop. Horrible viewing. They really need to find a balance.

    If Rory was tied 47th and dominating the coverage you might have a point.

    Guys complaining about the over cvoverage of TW take the discussion about TW to the Rory thread. Thus increasing his coverage here. Ironic.

    Fair enough but the thread title doesn't negate the point.

    All the pressure is on Li. I'd say he could get away with less than that, but it would be a decent score and seems avhievable for him.

    Li's a bit of a drama queen. :)

    Rory goes in the bunker on the 11th and just shrugs, Li lands on the green leaving a fifteen footer and drops the club.

    Well he was second up, so not sure how that affected Rory's tee shot. :)

    Bunker shot wasn't the best.

    It was probably the best he could expect. Maybe a yard too long, but that's very fine margins from a bunker shot with very little green to work with.
