Is how he put it as Dunne lined up for the tee shot on 17...

Yeah I heard that but wasn't sure :mad:

What a shot on the 17th!

Some shot at 17...

For a 22 year old amateur Dunne looks very comfortable. Obviously enjoying and appreciating the crowd there as well. Reminds me of Speith in many ways.

To those who follow Irish golf, is this kid a flash in the pan or is this the arrival of a new top player?

Yes. Remarkably calm but I'd say he's tad more nervous than he looks.

Great birdie attempt by Dunne there.

Dustin Johnson the only person in the field without a birdie today

Since the mid 80's when my dad first brought me down to Greystones Golf Club to caddy for him, and all the years I've been a member since, today had undoubtedly and without question been the proudest day for me and I'm sure every other member.

Lump in the throat and tear in the eye.

Congratulations and we'll done to Paul and Alan, you were 2 superstars today.

efb

Get in! Delighted!

ItsChecoTime

What an absolutely fantastic round Paul Dunne. Fair play

Stheno

Ooosthuizen has joined Dunne and Day on 12 under

Dunne is finished his round, getting great applause from the crowd

His score today is a record for an amateur

ForeRight

Is Dunne playing with Speith tomorrow now?

I'd say greystones golf club are rightly proud of Paul dunne.

efb

In fairness to the Beeb, they are saying Greystones, Ireland

Probably Day or Oosthuizen depending on if Day birdies the last

Ah.

If its not going to be an Irish guy, then I'd like it to be Jason Day.

Brilliant by the Irish lads today. Superlative. Supreme. Supercalafragalistic.

Would be rude not to.

Unfortunately I've to work, but going in early to get home early. Should see the back 9!

I'd like to see day win if Dunne or Harrignton don't

Justin Rose for me. Watching Dunne today, reminds me of when he won it as an amateur.

Let's not rule out a 3rd Open for eh, Padraig

Rose didn't win it as an amateur, did he not come fifth or something?

sky88

This is wide open I think down to 7 under could possibly still do it if they get out early and get lots of birdies in before leaders start

the groutch

Am I right in thinking the last grouping tomorrow is based on who gets in the clubhouse first, meaning if Day stays at -12, then Dunne is in the last group with Oost?

JacquesDeLad

Amazing performance by Dunne. I wish him well tomorrow.

efb

Day misses out on outright lead.

Oosthuizen set to play with Dunne tomorrow

LuckyGent88

Thought the Scottish pairing would go great together today but they have only gone backwards. Very disappointing for the local crowd

Tugboats

I've no interest in what passport a golfer has so I'll be rooting for Day tomorrow. Would be great after what happened to him at the US Open.

LuckyGent88

He is making a fortune!!!!

Sorry, as the highest amateur. He turned pro though next day didn't he?

I'm hopeing we get similar weather to friday and yesterday, so I can watch it on Tuesday.

Fair play to Dunne. I think anyone from -8 can still win it.

Gotta feel for Dustin today, nothing's dropped for him

I'm like that myself I more support who I like as a player I'll be hoping for a miracle from fowler to win but it would be great too see an amateur win regardless of nationality

The forecast according to the IT is for bad wind in the afternoon

coylemj

OMG - in wrapping up the BBC coverage from St. Andrews, Hazel Irvine just suggested to every golf fan in the UK with a job to throw a sickie tomorrow to watch the golf!

HighLine

The winds will increase during the day tomorrow to somewhere in the 20s mph. It also looks like it will be wet too. Gonna be fun!

rooney30

Does anyone know what time the final pairings go out tomorrow , need to coordinate work or lack thereof ?
