He has been so poor on the par 5s...

Yep it’s 4 6s he had on the par5s so far

tobsey

He’s playing very well. Could have birdied 3 of the first 4 and you’d have expected him to at least birdie the par 5 after the drive. Another great tee shot on 5 and about to turn and have the wind at his back for 9 holes.

So close to a few birdies dropping.

DellyBelly

I agree. Playing very well.. Could easily be 2 or 3 under.

Birdie dropped at 6

Rory and par 5’s!!! Another bogey. Inexcusable from the middle of the fairway once again.

This means he has bogeyed the last 4 par 5s he's played !!
It must be doubtful this has ever happened to any other world top 10 player before.

DellyBelly

Another poor par 5 and no birdie.. This will hurt him because he is playing as well as anyone out there

LuckyGent88

At least it wasn’t a 6 on a par 5!!! Probably felt like it when he had just a 9 iron into the green.

So frustrating when he is hitting it so well. 3 yards too far left with his second

9 Iron from 205 is crazy even if it was downwind. Would like to see him hit an extra club but be much smoother.

Rory has played so well tee to green today. He should be -5 on the round if he could hole a putt.

And you can see the frustration starting to kick in. Perfect off the tee but now not getting the putts. Got the putts yesterday when he was all over the shop

Mr. Guappa

Takes the most difficult one then!

Mantis Toboggan

Nice birdie on 9. 2 hrs 35 for the front 9.

He's not the only one. Koepka has had a similar number of close misses (another one there) and JT also. Seem like difficult greens to read.

Beemer surely isn't walking the course with Rory after playing in the morning?!

He's made the cut, I'd be putting my feet up and having a glass of something, the Sky wages must be good!

Had a disaster towards the end of his round. +4 for the last few holes to leave him outside the cut.

Beemer won't be making the cut at +7.

DellyBelly

Looks like Rory has found water again on 10..poor after a great birdie on 9

Panrich

Lucky break. Has he hurt himself though?

Oh! Is that what he finished at, even more reason to be having a glass of something!

Watching this would make you think about living in South Carolina

Dr. Bre

Rory finally get his par 5 birdie . Good round so far

Mantis Toboggan

If he can hold it coming in from here he'll be in a good spot.

lawred2

Good man Rory

lawred2

If he could pick one more up he'd be right in it

ankles

If he holds where he is that will be a good finish

bamayang

Putter looks way more composed this week. He’s inches from dropping 3 or 4 birdies. Much better compared to the usual head scratching 18”+ misses

lawred2

That was a lovely drive

paulie21

Another bogey at a par 5
