Played a lot of golf in Scotland in his younger years, always think he might have a chance because of that as well.

Remember the Estonian kid that chipped in on a play off hole at final qualifying to make it through to this week…
Well he was hitting nuclear missiles down the range with one of the biggest names in game yesterday.
What a story, and that swing speed…

Good stuff. Although I wonder how many players would step up in practice for a major and hit their driver like that (unnecessarily) with the potential to damage/break it!
Tee times out at 14:00hrs, think Rory will get an early tee time on Thursday.

Sky are showing it each day as well
Been a good watch , it’s actually better presenting that the likes of Paul McGinley
Good draw that for Rory, think he’d be happy playing with JT and Tommy.The opposite - 15:10

On Sunday, what time are the leaders likely to tee off? I've booked myself a round at 10:00am so hoping the leaders are out in the afternoon and finishing at 5-ish - would that be correct? I can never remember from previous years.
