Scottish Open _may have spoilers...

Donald stupidly follows mickelson hitting his driver buts carves it into the crap.

Mcilroy just drove a 400 odd yard par 4, some real fun down wind on the back 9.
 
429 yard drive then nearly putts it off the green :D Seething inside :rofl:

Playing really well though, game looks super sharp all of a sudden and creating lots of birdie/eagle chances.
 
Mcilroy now -6, nailed on to break course record set by Broberg about an hour ago. Bet he is gutted :D
 
Darren Clarke is only half the player he was a couple of years ago... literally!

Unreal how much weight he has dropped isn't it! Keep thinking who is this when I see him :D



Donaldson having a bit of a mare today, seems to have found the thickest part of rough everytime he has missed the fairway.
 
Just came in from work and put it on

Seen irckie fowler I'm the rough it looks brutal

He has been in it quite a bit but has got away with it a few times.

Greens are looking a lot harder to hold this afternoon.

Rose fighting back well and Westwood is having a go.
 
I went yesterday and Royal Aberdeen is a great place to watch golf, i suppose being a members clubs there aren't this huge area's between holes.

Walked around watching Rory, he could have been at least another 2 shots lower as he was unlucky with a couple of putts, but in saying that he got few breaks on the front, with one drive going way left and bouncing back on to the middle of the fairway and a good bounce right to set up a birdie on another. After that solid, well done the lad.

I think also he played in the worst of the conditions, it was much colder fist thing and the wind was stronger on the front 9.
Also i think i put the mockers on Donaldson, as i said to one of my mates on the 3rd or 4th that he hit the ball so well, he than shanked it!!!!!

the front 9 is fantastic with the fairways the narrowest ive seen before, the rough is not as bad as it looks either.

shot of the day? Phil blocking his drive and almost ending up in a toilet, stuck in to 4 feet for birdie.
