No doubt Lowry is "fighting it" last few holes but credit to him, 3 tremendous up and downs.

Can he do 4???

What a pile of drivel they are whittering on about on Radio 5 live.

More discussion on the state of Tiger's back and if he may stop playing any comp where it may be cool weather than on any actual golf.

Obviously the producer has no idea about golf!
That's why I've got it on talksport2 it's actual commentary

Cheers, will have a search around for that. Don't listen to much sport on radio so never thought of that one.

Tell me about it. I was listening to them all morning at work. Mark Chapman is the worst, he really does start the most inane and banal conversations, and the rest of them all chime in as if they're sat about in a coffee house rather than broadcasting live to a nation.

He is prob going to miss the cut but that’s a quality round of golf - gutted for him that couple of silly holes cost him. Great for McDowell making the cut and great round from Lowery

I think that they believe that their audience are listening to them for the whole day and so might get a little tired of just golf, so they introduce some "humour" as this will be enjoyed by the listeners. Surely they should realise that most people just dip in and out on the radio?

This morning I heard some inane drivel about a car being stuck in some mud and how a commentator was being excluded from a WhatsApp group because of their part in this hilarious tale, it went on for so long that I turned the radio off.

Meghan MacLaren from our club is on 5 Live - anyone heard much of her and how she came across? Nice intelligent girl.

Yeah! They debated it for hours about how 'Chappers' was to be roundly booed because he sat in the car instead of helping them push it out or something. Who bloody cares!

She has come across well when I have listened to the coverage and she was speaking , certainly knowledgable - had a great chat with Connelly

Well played Rory great effort.

Just don’t get that play on the last leaving 200 yards in when needing a birdie.
G-Mac has 159 in and both Rory’s playing partners more aggressive.

Gutted for him , showed some balls today and gave it a real fight , bet the atmosphere whilst he was on that charge was amazing.

After Woods round today i wonder when we will see him tee up again this season ?

Showing a lot of emotion in the interview- guess that shows how much stress and be pressure there must have been on him
