:09:46. > :09:54.10-under. And this to stay 10-under. over the weekend. Third shot at the

:10:05. > :10:09.elevated green. Spin this one and quite tight to the cut. Gathering

:11:56. > :12:00.know when near. If he gets this one For good plays it always feels like
:12:00. > :12:07.a severe blow. We will leave him and go and find Morrison at the
:12:07. > :12:12.15th, second shot, 10-under. Leading the way by three. What a
:12:12. > :12:22.nice few he has of this green, it holds a little bit right. A rolling
:12:22. > :12:33.
:12:33. > :12:43.don't know what happened to that. That is a stinker, I'm sorry, young

:13:37. > :13:41.and turn it down to the left, it start out there. These young
:13:41. > :13:47.maestro's are shelling touches of anger but the club did not leave

:15:10. > :15:18.just landed over the water. Steady. Chance of an eagle. What a way to
:15:18. > :15:23.finish if he can pop that one in. What have we got, strawberries and

:15:34. > :15:47.
:15:47. > :15:57.back and he is 15 yards short of the green, so a little bit of

:17:24. > :18:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:18:07. > :18:16.far this year on the PGA Tour. -- 8-under par, the leader in the
:18:16. > :18:26.clubhouse. He was offered 7:20am, and what a nice only morning's work
:18:26. > :19:00.
:19:00. > :19:07.gets carried into the hollow, so a perfect start. One of yesterday's
:19:07. > :19:12.leaders, Peter Lawrie, at the 18th, taps it in for a par, 7-under.
:19:12. > :19:22.Pretty good after yesterday. No fireworks from yesterday but steady,
:19:22. > :19:41.
:19:41. > :19:47.71. Very nicely placed for the previous year. He has played this
:19:48. > :19:53.new design at Wentworth and was second and then first. James
:19:53. > :19:59.Morrison got any good yesterday. Some good scoring. Good conditions
:19:59. > :20:09.but a bit of a breeze so you have to keep your wits about you. James
:20:09. > :20:41.
:20:41. > :20:51.Morrison's second shot at the 18th. well. -- he judges. Morrison
:20:51. > :21:08.
:21:08. > :21:18.finishes with an eagle. A sure he is enjoying it. Another one
:21:18. > :21:29.
:21:29. > :21:37.Where do we start? Sparkling, 64. Can you rate that? Pretty close to
:21:37. > :21:43.the best, yeah. One of those rounds where I said to my caddy, are we 6-
:21:43. > :21:48.under par? Before you know it, I am 8-under par. It is one of those
:21:48. > :21:54.days when everything went well and just snowballed. A marvellous eagle
:21:54. > :22:01.at the last. Take us through that. My caddy wanted me to lay off on
:22:01. > :22:11.the last. I said no. It was one of those that you fancied downhill,
:22:11. > :22:11.
:22:11. > :22:16.left to right, and I made another eagle yesterday. Today's was a bit
:22:16. > :22:21.more conventional. I will take more of those. This must be a special
:22:21. > :22:27.occasion because you are local. Tell us about how long this
:22:27. > :22:31.Championship has been on your radar. This is my third year and my first
:22:31. > :22:35.tee was pretty dreadful because of too much expectation and too many
:22:35. > :22:39.friends in the crowd and getting tickets for them, it puts you out
:22:39. > :22:44.of your routine. This year I have tried to stick to my every team and
:22:44. > :22:50.it seems to be paying off. Growing up as a kid watching it on TV, it
:22:50. > :22:56.has always been a dream to play. Wentworth has great history and it
:22:56. > :23:03.is a great golf course so it is very exciting. Justin Rose at the
:23:03. > :23:13.17th... Justin! Good Lord, that was 20 inches, no more. That might be
:23:13. > :23:37.
:23:37. > :23:47.costly on Sunday night. He goes closing with a birdie. Tidy. As you
:23:47. > :23:57.
:23:57. > :24:04.would expect from Francesco today. I don't know why he would do
:24:04. > :24:09.that. He hits the ball so far... That could be out of bounds and in
:24:09. > :24:15.the bushes. That was just a silly shot. We said yesterday he has got
:24:15. > :24:25.to learn how to play. He can hit but he has to learn how to play. He
:24:25. > :24:31.
:24:31. > :24:41.needs a few more months work on read rather than speed to stop it.
:24:41. > :25:13.
:25:13. > :25:23.-- trajectory. Justin Rose's third Molinari's brother. 7-under. 20,000

:25:56. > :26:03.par five, would you believe it. a par at the 18th. A good round of
:26:03. > :26:11.golf, two at 68s. A very nice position for the weekend. Not more
:26:11. > :26:15.than a puff of wind to blow that in. He is an ace player. Wherever he
:26:15. > :26:25.goes around the world. He puts in great performances, which is nice

:26:32. > :26:39.to see. Consistency is the key. fetish, one of our Cameron then has
:26:39. > :26:49.a foot fetish. They are clean and tidy! -- cameraman. Just a whiff of

:26:58. > :27:08.to finish 6-under par. 130 late for his opening two rounds. -- 138. He
:27:08. > :27:11.
:27:12. > :27:21.had a good round yesterday and was so there is still a lot of golf to
:27:21. > :27:31.be played. I think the qualifying score will be under level par.
:27:31. > :27:41.
:27:41. > :27:45.Around about 143, 142, it depends 70 puts you firmly in the thick of
:27:45. > :27:50.the Championship but a real struggle for many people coming
:27:50. > :27:56.back with the wind against. Yes, the golf course is becoming so
:27:56. > :28:00.difficult, the wind direction always changed, even the intensity,
:28:00. > :28:07.so it is very difficult to find out what is going on. Especially the
:28:07. > :28:12.last few holes. 17 was way you made a bogey and it is always kicking
:28:12. > :28:19.yourself when you want to take advantage. Yes but it is impossible
:28:19. > :28:26.to take advantage sometimes. Even Justin Rose, who hit a perfect
:28:26. > :28:30.driver, into the wind, has struggled. In my case, I am not
:28:30. > :28:40.even going to mess with the left side so I finished on the right
:28:40. > :28:44.side. The third shot, the wind trapped it. Impossible.
:28:44. > :28:54.centimetre away from 67 but your second consecutive 68. Will you
:28:54. > :28:55.
:28:55. > :29:02.settle for that? I am certainly happy where I am. It is a good
:29:02. > :29:06.score for me. My striking was decent today. It wasn't quite under
:29:06. > :29:11.control. I certainly have the pace and the line on the greens and I
:29:11. > :29:19.feel like when I have opportunities, I am making them, which is a
:29:19. > :29:23.positive. Do you have an eye on Rory McIlroy's progress?
:29:23. > :29:28.Fortunately, I got the better side of the draw. We will have to see
:29:28. > :29:33.what he does but I am really just concentrating on trying to get in
:29:33. > :29:39.contention on Sunday. That is what we always try to do. The number one
:29:39. > :29:45.ranking will take care of itself. 64 in these conditions, we just had
:29:45. > :29:51.one from James Morrison. Yes, great playing. This is not an easy course.

:30:11. > :30:15.Jessica, who has walked over 14 holes with him, no mean feat
:30:15. > :30:21.considering she will give birth to their first child in two weeks'

:31:18. > :31:23.at the BBC and the Open Championship is one of the 2
:31:23. > :31:27.highlights. Seve Ballesteros, Peter Thompson, they all won at Royal
:31:28. > :31:31.with them, and we cannot wait to see who will be next. Rory McIlroy
:31:31. > :31:35.will be in the conversation but here at Wentworth he was struggling
:31:35. > :31:39.on his first appearance as the world No 1 he in the United Kingdom
:31:39. > :31:49.and he had a lot of work to do amongst the afternoon starters if

:31:51. > :31:59.he was to be with us for the bench and on to that leaderboard --
:31:59. > :32:03.has ventured. The West Course was a distinctly uncomfortable ride.

:34:09. > :34:13.Ryder Cup, a big goal for him. He is usually the most beautiful chip
:34:13. > :34:20.and bunker player. For a big man you thought he would be a bit
:34:21. > :34:29.clumsy. A little bit of grab on that.
:34:29. > :34:35.Pretty good, 6, 7 feet. By any's standards that is about 7.5 out of

:34:55. > :34:59.This is his 5th shot as well in the to just 7-over. He is newly down

:35:22. > :35:42.
:35:42. > :35:46.enough! Birdie at 11 and 13, a couple under-par. People say he is
:35:46. > :35:52.not a good enough putter, but I think he looks brilliant,

:58:11. > :58:17.because playing on both circuits is not easy. It was disappointing
:58:17. > :58:21.today. He did not have the ball under control at all. He is a bit
:58:21. > :58:27.of a Ronnie O'Sullivan. He has either got it and he is brilliant

:58:51. > :58:58.A top eight finish will guarantee that he goes back to number one in
