Blandy flew his 10 best mates to Dxb when he was in the DOWTC Champ.
Came down to Barasti with them great lad.
At least he made the cut!
Game over.
He shot +6 overnight, now down in a very creditable 21st place.
Rory is in the hunt 2 behind
Blandy is out at 8.32 pm BST, playing with Guido Migliozi, the lad he beat in the play off to win at The Belfry.
Rory trickled a 30ft downhill left to right putt that I could have rolled a fag while it was on the move.
Moves to - 4, 1 behind.
Lots of red on the scoreboard today a case of staying in contention
Casey moved to -2.
Actually important in a different context.
Justin Rose will not defend his Olympic Gold in Tokyo, & Lee wants to focus on Ryder Cup qualification
Casey behind Hatton & Fitzpatrick in race for the 2 man team
Hmmmm.
Rory’s tied for the lead.
Casey only 1 back
Bryson out on his own after nearly getting an eagle on the Par 3 8th.
Rory with a chance to join him but his putt just slips by…
Superb leaderboard
Casey blows it with a double bogey now level par
Not gonna last much longer - early start
I don’t gamble, but Karna says a £1 on a Koepka v Bryson play off
That’s why I don’t gamble
Oosthuizen 2 shots out on his own, Rory’s putter not working for him today…it’s about a 10 way tie in second place.
DeChambeau back to back bogies drops hims 3 shots off of the lead.
McIlroy 3 putts the par 3 11th and sees him drop back to -3 , 3 shots off of the lead.
Oosthuizen has the same shot as DeChambeau at the par 3 11 but puts it way past the hole, he’ll probably drop a shot as well…
It’s all going south for all the leaders, Rory bunker to bunker on the 12th, then shanks a shot into the rough, he’s going to drop at least another shot.
Oosthuizen drops one at the 11th…
Rory double bogies the 12th, back to -1
Rahm on -4 on his own, Oosthuizen on -5
deChambeau mishitting down the right on -3
Bryson drops 2 on the 13th to take him back to -1, he plays at full power all the time when he really should slow down a bit.
English in the clubhouse on -3 might be in the best position…
Rahm with a brilliant putt on the 17th takes him to a tie on -5, one hole left for him…
Rahm on his own on -6 after a superb scramble on the 18th, nice to hear the roar of the crowd…
Wow, DeChambeau is +3 after a quadruple bogey on the 17th!!
Ooosthuizen just driven into OOB on t he 16th, think he might have blown it now…
