Madness. Then made a horlicks of the second, ended up playing the hole like a 20+ h/capper. If Donald can take an iron off the first I'm sure TW can

Exactly... He probably hits his irons further than anyone. Didn't need driver there at all. Ship steadied it seems after another horror start.

Rory's "Freaky Friday" streak looks like it might be coming to an end!!!

Some supreme ball striking from McIlroy again - joy to watch

 

[Alex1975]

I love it when he's like this!

Freaky Friday has turned into freaking brilliant!

It'll be interesting to see if Westwood can follow Monty's example and finally win a Major when he hits the Senior Tour.

This is exactly what many hate about coverage of Tiger
OK he's battling to make the cut, okhe's a former Number 1 but to show him watching while someone else plays on to the final green is, quite frankly, pathetic.
And I don't care if that makes me a Tiger hater - I want to watch golf not some guy watching golf..,

I agree, but it ain't gonna change so no point stewing over it. Bad news for many is he just made the cut but at least he'll be out early so he won't get in the way of the coverage of the leaders

:rofl:You reckon?

He'll be practically finished by the time Rory tees off so I think we'll be fine

As well as Rory has played today, he's had some ridiculously lucky lies in the rough

Some stunning ball striking though and driving out of this world

Absolutely, I guess you make your own luck

Yeah it's looking that way.

I think it's just wonderful view to see such great ball striking

 

[Deleted member 15344]

That is a sublime round of golf - truely world class golf

 

[Dodger]

Well I have gone on record as saying Rory would not win an Open but I hope he proves me wrong.

A superb round of golf,attacked in all the right places and played superbly.

Keep it going young'un!

Well said old boy

Never doubted Rory could play Open courses in good conditions, it is when the wind and rain comes in to play that he needs to prove himself. Hope he does as the forecast doesn't look so good for the weekend.

Dustin Johnson is the danger man and Ricky Flower has proved he can handle the bad weather , otherwise nobody is catching Rory , he just looking so calm and in control and confident , cant see anyone beating him and if they do then they will win , he has a 4 shot lead and he will birdie the par 5 on each round so i say i anyone is going to beat him they have to shoot 67 both days ......................, I say it on here he will complete the Grandslam of golf at the Masters next year ........................EYG
