Hello, this Barclays Scottish Open is so far the spectators, nearly | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
12,000 of them, on the opening day, and the players are lapping up this | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
ground breaking trip to the Scottish Highlands. Not only have | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
we been dazzled by the view, but to the quality of play. Over half of | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
the 156 strong field finished under For round one on the wide and | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
generous fair ways on Castle Stuart Golf Links. Happy days indeed. Day | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
one of this new course, new setting in a playful mood. Sunshine and | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
rain, and Lee Westwood coped with it all, cruising to 7-under. Only | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
one many officially sits higher, and he tucked himself just behind | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
:01:48. | :01:49. | ||
67. Edoardo Molinari found six on his way to a 67. And Monty was | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
still hoping for a place in the Open, still rages against the dying | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
of the light, sometimes just raging. Other hopes fell on Mark Warren, | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
who made seven birdies in, and Mickelson, hoping for better in | :02:10. | :02:20. | |
:02:20. | :02:21. | ||
round 2. There was a flurry of birdies and eagles in a breezey day | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
and in the end it was Mark Tullo and Graeme McDowell who set the | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
pace. Edoardo Molinari and Luke Donald were very much in touch in | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
that large group, but 5-under. On Day 2, even more inviting | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
conditions for low scoring.. Scott Jamieson was putting together a | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
remarkable run, he began at the ninth with a bogey, five birdies in | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
a row followed thereafter and this was an eagle chance at the long 18 | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
and he took it took. Belgian's player finally got his he | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
ward with a win in China, and big hitter was in the mix again. Again, | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
this is for eagle. He took it to two and picked up two shots to move | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
two and picked up two shots to move to 7-under.. Clearly he was | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
enjoying Castle Stuart. His sixth birdie of the round. And this man, | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
Graeme McDowell, was setting a cracking pace. Shh this is also his | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
sixth birdie of the day. He took his first nine holes in 30 shots | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
:03:52. | :04:02. | ||
and he is 9-under par this. Is comment isn't that a lovely scene, | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
looking up towards Inverness and there is the stately castle, the | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
castle Stewart. Where the family have lived on and off for 700 or | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
800 years or so. It is a very calm day and the scoring has been | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
absolutely stunning so far. Here we are at the second green, Scott | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
Jamieson, this is for an eagle. He is already 11-under F he could roll | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
this in he would be 13-under par and he has. | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
:04:42. | :04:44. | ||
CHEERING Well, done, sir. 8 hupblder for his | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
round, starting with a bogey. the clubs you know, the new clubs. | :04:50. | :05:00. | |
:05:00. | :05:16. | ||
The leader by four at this moment, but for how long I wonder. He has | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
judged it well, Daniel Ellsberg. is going along nicely as well, four | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
:05:35. | :05:41. | ||
out in 30, par the first, and this was for a spot at number two. 7- | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
under for the day. This is blistering golf at the moment. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
Everywhere you look the leader boards are full of red figure, it | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
is wonderful to see. Great for the spectators, and there are many of | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
:06:04. | :06:16. | ||
there playing today. Not breath of wind. Angel Cabrera, he is really | :06:16. | :06:26. | |
:06:26. | :06:38. | ||
hot. 8-under. Scott Jamieson now at it come down - just in the little | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
:06:48. | :06:50. | ||
hollow. Some delightful holes here. Here is the man who has come into | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
:07:00. | :07:03. | ||
his own here, and another birdie for the Belgian. That leaves the | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
:07:13. | :07:15. | ||
course fairly defenceless. At the third, he will pass four. At the | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
back of the green n the hazard. Not too bad from where he was. He | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
couldn't ground his club, hacking out of the rough, he will have that | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
for a birdie. He was a little unlucky with his tee shot just | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
trickling over the green. Scott Jamieson, this is his shot at the | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
fourth, he must have potted down to there and that is a drop shot. It | :07:45. | :07:55. | |
:07:55. | :07:56. | ||
stops an amazing run. Look at that. It started with a bogey at the | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
tenth and those birdie, two eagles and now a bogey at the fourth. A | :08:02. | :08:12. | |
:08:12. | :08:16. | ||
short par three as well. He is 6- under at the moment, this is his | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
:08:26. | :08:26. | ||
second shot at the 7th green. There. (APPLAUSE) | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
He always looked a very good player to me. Perhaps hasn't won quite as | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
much as he might have done. Els is at the second, he is going for an | :08:38. | :08:48. | |
eagle putt. (APPLAUSE) | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
167 yards, now he gets the ball out and McDowell leaves himself another | :08:56. | :09:06. | |
:09:06. | :09:09. | ||
chance. The wide stance of Simon Dyson and they will going along | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
:09:19. | :09:23. | ||
very nicely. 7-under. Paul Lawrie at the third, 7-under, he is about | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:34. | ||
to go 8-under, and he does. (APPLAUSE) | :09:34. | :09:44. | |
:09:44. | :09:49. | ||
Paul Lawrie showing some splendid form. This man has had a very good | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
season. He has done very well indeed. The front nine, and the | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
back nine, moves to 9-under. Move I along well. As we thought it might | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
be it is low scoring with very little breeze here at Castle Stuart. | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
And for Scotland, Scott Jamieson two shots clear from earn Els. | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
Padraig Harrington going along well out on the course. Phil Mickelson | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
now. On the tee at the fourth. He has work to do. He is only 3-under, | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:43. | ||
can't afford to mess about.. That looks a beauty. Qualifying score, | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
it could only be a 3, or 4-under par. Very low. Another man going | :10:50. | :11:00. | |
:11:00. | :11:01. | ||
well, Mark Waugh ren. An eagle coming. Moves to 9-under. A little | :11:01. | :11:11. | |
:11:11. | :11:19. | ||
bit up and down, currently 9-under par. That sets up another birdie | :11:19. | :11:29. | |
:11:29. | :11:44. | ||
chance. He is chasing one. Behind, a wonderful shot, sings back left. | :11:44. | :11:52. | |
Simon Dyson at the sixth. Right on the edge of the bunker. His fourth | :11:53. | :12:01. | |
shot, he will tap that in and stay 7-under par. He has played some | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
very good golf this year. He was a great star in those hot places, he | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
played out in the Far East for a year or two. Another birdie, | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
talking about what a good season it has been. 7 in the PGA, and 8th in | :12:21. | :12:30. | |
the Italian, and three behind, this fellow, Scott. Els playing 167, a | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
little bit of breeze in his face, just a touch uphill. Oh. It went do | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
the right somewhere having driven the previous grown, he had chance | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
:12:57. | :12:58. | ||
of a birdie, it was a little bit across Els. That was very awkward. | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
You don't see there too often, do we? No, but it was a poor shot by | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
:13:13. | :13:16. | ||
his standards. Here is Dyson, 7- under, second in at the seventh. He | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
has a bounce through those delightful little bumps and hollows. | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
Very cleverly designed. Now, that was a bit wayward, and he went | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
award with that one as well. Oh, dear. Knock on wood. He has left | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
himself a tough one from there, my goodness. Whiteford, another birdie | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
chance. It sounded sweet and right into the cup. 11-under. | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
:14:01. | :14:04. | ||
(APPLAUSE) Nicolas Colsaerts, he is doing a | :14:04. | :14:14. | |
:14:14. | :14:23. | ||
birdie putt drop in at the moment. (APPLAUSE) | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
Mark Warren here at the eighth. What a shot. Back to 7-under. | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
Scoring is very hot today F this calm weather continues, it could | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
well be many, many under par. just came up short of the putting | :14:43. | :14:52. | |
surface, this for a birdie. Beautifully done. 11-under. | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
(APPLAUSE) Yesterday, Lee Westwood went round | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
in 65. It could be broken this morning, and Graeme may well be one | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
of them. It has perfect. Picked up a little bit since early doors but | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
still delightful. Very calm, Jamieson still leads the way but | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
system of the leaders are beginning to stumble a little bit, a dropped | :15:13. | :15:23. | |
:15:23. | :15:27. | ||
shot here, a dropped shot there. A long way to go. They are playing | :15:27. | :15:37. | |
:15:37. | :15:54. | ||
Scott Jamieson. He has given that a biff past the hole. A long par | :15:54. | :16:04. | |
:16:04. | :16:14. | ||
three and this is to save his par. Els, oh, my Lord. That is horrible. | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
I am afraid Els' problem all too often. It is a real 360, isn't it? | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
It is haunting him. It was hit too hard. There was nothing wrong with | :16:29. | :16:39. | |
:16:39. | :16:40. | ||
anything, he just hit it too hard. You are too strong, Ernie! A tricky | :16:40. | :16:50. | |
:16:50. | :16:58. | ||
putt. That has opened the door to the rest of the field, a double | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
bogey. (APPLAUSE) | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
Self-inflicted wound there, Ken, were they not? Now they are | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
storming around the course, as indeed is Whiteford. Some more of | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
the big names will come out this afternoon, so they will be opening | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:30. | ||
the weather remains the same. Colsaerts. Here on the front right, | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
he wants to just feed it down short of the green, let it trickle down | :17:36. | :17:44. | |
as we saw from Fisher. He has moved it in off that little bump. Look at | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
it now. (APPLAUSE) | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
:18:01. | :18:10. | ||
Yet another birdie. Steven, a big tea shot off a par six. That is | :18:10. | :18:19. | |
perfect. Sit down, sit down. He will head it up for an eagle. Peter | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Whiteford, Scott Jamieson, Colin Montgomerie, a lot of Scots up this | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
week. They love it when they come home. Colsaerts taps in. One hole | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
to play. (APPLAUSE) | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
It is getting more consistency into his game and here is something who | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
:18:52. | :18:54. | ||
is usually pretty consistent, Simon Dyson. He is 67-under par. -- 7- | :18:54. | :19:04. | |
:19:04. | :19:04. | ||
under par. That is going to - oh, no! Life is unfair at time, isn't | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
it. Don't go in there, for goodness sake. Would you believe it? Well, I | :19:11. | :19:21. | |
:19:21. | :19:25. | ||
saw it and I can hardly believe it. Go hard, go hard! That was a | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
beautiful bounce. Keep going. A little unlucky. If you get your tee | :19:31. | :19:39. | |
shot, just chasing through the little valley. A long bird ji putt | :19:39. | :19:48. | |
for Peter Whiteford. A fairly seizable par putt to come. | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
greens have a fair bit of pace in them, haven't they? I do like | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
watching Angel Cabrera play. This tee shot at the 8th, 196 yards | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
today, and there was another one. He is putting the ball in some nice | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
places and making the course a lot easier today, particularly under | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
these conditions. We will see this birdie attempt. A three putt from | :20:23. | :20:33. | |
:20:33. | :20:47. | ||
distance, but a 3 putt none theless. Two behind the leaders now. 9th, | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
Scott Jamieson. (APPLAUSE) | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
Well done. A good par. A good saving putt on the last. One | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
blemish, and that was the nasty double bogey on the 8th. After that, | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
a great round of golf. Well done. He has been playing some delightful | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
:21:20. | :21:26. | ||
golf. He was a little unlucky with the tee shot, it just stopped on | :21:26. | :21:32. | |
the run. This comes from the right. A lot of it is to deal with the | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
:21:42. | :21:45. | ||
speed of putt. He is 11-under par. How, that was a good touch, wasn't | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
:21:55. | :22:03. | ||
it? Finishes right behind the hole. David second to the ninth hole. He | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
is playing alongside Colsaerts. Seven birdies today from him. | :22:10. | :22:20. | |
Cabrera for birdie at the eighth. This to go 9-under par, and he has. | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
:22:30. | :22:43. | ||
(APPLAUSE) Masters champion. Nicolas Colsaerts, | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
to the ninth. If you miss the greens here there are so many | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
different ways to play the pitches and chip, float them up. Peter | :22:52. | :23:02. | |
:23:02. | :23:05. | ||
Whiteford just in the first cut, very generous which is py stuff. | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
:23:15. | :23:31. | ||
Colsaerts here at the ninth. He is 10-under. This is for a par. His | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
good luck comes to a bit of a stopper. | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
:23:45. | :24:04. | ||
(APPLAUSE) . Harrington. He was really singing | :24:04. | :24:14. | |
:24:14. | :24:16. | ||
the praisings of this golf course at the start of it, loves it. Now, | :24:16. | :24:26. | |
:24:26. | :24:27. | ||
McDowell down in the hollow. Just a little pitch. Sandy soil. Oh, we | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
saw Dyson trickling down there, that should go - could go. Luck of | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
:24:45. | :24:45. | ||
the Irish, as they say. (APPLAUSE) | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
:24:55. | :25:03. | ||
I was thinking 85. 85 yards or so to go. You won't see it, it has | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
just disappeared behind the live overall the green, you can just tea | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
the top half of the flag. The ground is very firm here. You have | :25:10. | :25:20. | |
:25:20. | :25:21. | ||
to strike them so precisely. (APPLAUSE) | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
Hard ground. That is how they stand at the moment. Jamieson finished | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
with 66 and also 66, Nicolas Colsaerts. But for the rest of them | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
still some work to do but it looks like we will have a red-hot scoring | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
morning with lots more to come plater in the day. Graeme McDowell | :25:42. | :25:52. | |
:25:52. | :25:59. | ||
from the back of the ninth, this is for a round of 63. Well done, well | :25:59. | :26:09. | |
:26:09. | :26:28. | ||
five on the card, all threes and fours. Magic. Here is Whiteford. | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
Christian Nilsson at if 18th. Hit a little valley. Nicely judged, an | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
eagle chance. Harrington. We haven't seen much of him. Here he | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
is - 8-under now. (APPLAUSE) | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
Starting to hold one or two putts. Yes, much better. I like watching | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
him play, have done since he was an amateur. He played in the Walker | :27:03. | :27:12. | |
:27:13. | :27:20. | ||
Nilsson runs off a very tidey round of golf. Three bogeys sprinkled in | :27:20. | :27:30. | |
:27:30. | :27:33. | ||
there but a 6. -- 68. We will find out what the tatoos mean. Good | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
visitor from the United States, Matt Kuchar. 6-under par and he has | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
held another one. 7-under. (APPLAUSE) | :27:41. | :27:49. | |
. He is a great player. Whiteford is second to the seventh, playing | :27:49. | :27:59. | |
:27:59. | :28:03. | ||
backwards into the breeze, par four. A wonderful iron shot, hitting | :28:03. | :28:11. | |
plenty of greens and regulations. Paul Lawrie. You can see the ball | :28:11. | :28:21. | |
:28:21. | :28:36. | ||
moving right to left. He is lining up for a 64 as well. Wandering | :28:36. | :28:46. | |
:28:46. | :28:50. | ||
about that putt, slightly, from Peter Whiteford. This man, age 30, | :28:50. | :29:00. | |
:29:00. | :29:02. | ||
going along very nicely. Paul Lawrie, here he is, on the ninth. | :29:02. | :29:10. | |
He is 8-under par. Looks good. Right in the middle of the middle. | :29:10. | :29:18. | |
Very, very good, 9-under par. (APPLAUSE) | :29:18. | :29:26. | |
Look at all of those trees up there, good gracious me. Very well done. | :29:26. | :29:36. | |
:29:36. | :30:03. | ||
bit up the hill from the birdie. (APPLAUSE) | :30:03. | :30:13. | |
:30:13. | :30:14. | ||
A bogey, 66. He has had a good season so far, umpteen top tens. | :30:15. | :30:24. | |
:30:25. | :30:27. | ||
Whiteford coming to the end of his round, his final hole. | :30:27. | :30:37. | |
:30:37. | :30:38. | ||
(APPLAUSE) . Jose Mauel Lara, 17th tee to par | :30:38. | :30:48. | |
:30:48. | :30:55. | ||
three. I just love seeing the ball running out. It was beautifully | :30:55. | :31:01. | |
judged. 219 yards down the broz. Peter Whiteford now, his final hole. | :31:01. | :31:09. | |
And he gets it. 11-under par. What an excellent round of golf, played | :31:09. | :31:19. | |
:31:19. | :31:21. | ||
under delightful conditions. That is a terrific round of golf. Jose | :31:21. | :31:30. | |
Mauel Lara, can he also get to 11- under par. No, he can't. He cannot | :31:30. | :31:40. | |
:31:40. | :31:41. | ||
believe it is still there. 10-under par, just one behind. A morning of | :31:41. | :31:46. | |
very good scoring. And Jose Mauel Lara would indeed go on to par the | :31:46. | :31:53. | |
18th for a round of 66. 10-under, one behind the leading trio. There | :31:53. | :32:03. | |
:32:03. | :32:04. | ||
is a look at the leader board, p two northern Scots and an irinman. | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
When you see your name on the leader board, it is something you | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
get used to now, what were your ambitions when you did graduate to | :32:12. | :32:18. | |
the big tour. It is to keep your cards, get enough money up for that, | :32:18. | :32:23. | |
and rookie of the year was also I had something in mind, so I have | :32:23. | :32:28. | |
made a good start to that, and then hopefully a win or a top 16. | :32:28. | :32:33. | |
Congratulations, a course record, there were two in your group today, | :32:34. | :32:39. | |
inspired by Justin and yourself. Yes, Justin played nicely too. It | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
was one of those mornings you knew you had to go and do a score. You | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
have to stay patient, you cannot try to birdie every hole, you have | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
to try to play the shots and not try too hard. I got off to a nice | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
start, and that was the dream start and I played some nice golf after | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
that and gave myself a few chances and took a few. Like I say, it was | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
a perfect morning for score and you knew you had to go low. Tell us | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
about the way you finished off that round in style and what does it | :33:10. | :33:19. | |
feel like being joint leader? great, I am just hanging on to | :33:19. | :33:27. | |
Graeme McDowell's coat tails, a bit. It was a great finish. I am | :33:27. | :33:35. | |
delighted. Paul, lovely round of 64 today, pd jointly matches the | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
course's best. How did you feel about today? I played the same as | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
yesterday to a degree, I hit the ball very well but I played lovely | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
today. When you get links courses with no wind you have to take | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
advantage because there are plenty of days when there is hail and | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
raining a gale. That numbers with a nice score. I couldn't have done | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
any better, so it is nice. useful is this in the build up and | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
how important is this title in itself before the Open proper? | :34:05. | :34:10. | |
Depending on what everyone does on Saturday, 11-under par, and 8-under | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
par, I am certainly not under this tournament. I will keep working on | :34:14. | :34:19. | |
this tournament for the next two days. In fact, the conditions | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
worsened considerably, play barely under way for the late starters | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
when the threat of thunderstorms caused a two-hour stoppage. When | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
they returned, albeit in calm conditions at 5 o'clock, the rain | :34:33. | :34:38. | |
was hampering gown on this Castle Stuart and scoring became much | :34:38. | :34:45. | |
tougher. Although, Jamie Donaldson seemed impervious to the | :34:45. | :34:51. | |
distraction on his return, going 8- under. Now, Lee Westwood dropped a | :34:51. | :34:56. | |
shot at the second, but his iron play has been at times startling | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
brilliant this week and this approach to the 10th was an example | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
of that. All over the flag and he knocked that one in to return a 7- | :35:04. | :35:11. | |
under. Now, Westerwelle could over take to regain the number one | :35:11. | :35:21. | |
position, and they he was met back on the score line after he Missed | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
this one. The luck of the draw is playing its | :35:27. | :35:33. | |
part in this Scottish Open. None of the men out on the course make a | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
impression on the leader board. Would that change any time soon as | :35:37. | :35:46. | |
we pick up play. Everything is always - I have never seen this | :35:47. | :35:52. | |
fellow off balance. It is always as if he has a permanent photographer | :35:52. | :36:02. | |
:36:02. | :36:03. | ||
waiting to snap him at the end of a swing. They were hopping up this | :36:03. | :36:13. | |
:36:13. | :36:15. | ||
morning, we almost saw four or five hole-in-ones. Tea shot of Edoardo | :36:15. | :36:22. | |
Molinari, the prettiest hole in the golf course. It was a wonderful | :36:22. | :36:29. | |
shot. It is an elevated tee. Westwood had has two birdies and | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
two bogeys. That is a very attractive shot down to the green, | :36:33. | :36:43. | |
:36:43. | :37:04. | ||
plenty of those over two the two days, just a beautiful putter of | :37:04. | :37:14. | |
:37:14. | :37:17. | ||
the ball. Westwood for birdie. Coming off birdie on 10. Now, that | :37:17. | :37:21. | |
water is quite shallow, there is a few little channels going in and | :37:21. | :37:29. | |
out. I haven't seen a lot of activity on the water. Molinari for | :37:29. | :37:36. | |
his birdie. (APPLAUSE) | :37:36. | :37:42. | |
And that is three birdies in a row for Molinari. He can really putt | :37:42. | :37:52. | |
:37:52. | :37:59. | ||
this fellow. 5-under, the defending champion. That was beautifully | :37:59. | :38:03. | |
played. (APPLAUSE) | :38:03. | :38:11. | |
What does Monty have here. Just a tad under 100 yard and to realise | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
his dream of playing next week he needs to start converting a few of | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
these into birdies. (APPLAUSE) | :38:20. | :38:30. | |
:38:30. | :38:41. | ||
It looks good. You will never know.. The black isle over there. Monty | :38:41. | :38:50. | |
now for his three. He, too, comes up short. Just taking a bit of a | :38:50. | :39:00. | |
:39:00. | :39:07. | ||
string out of the greens with the light rain. 6-under par. | :39:07. | :39:17. | |
:39:17. | :39:24. | ||
chances of playing next week are slipping away. Yes! | :39:24. | :39:33. | |
(APPLAUSE) 33 for Hanson, 8-under total. Just | :39:33. | :39:43. | |
:39:43. | :39:48. | ||
one bogey there on five. Big Darren Clarke on the 8th hole. One of four | :39:48. | :39:54. | |
beautiful par threes here at Castle Stuart, and what a wonderful long | :39:54. | :40:04. | |
:40:04. | :40:05. | ||
iron shot. Molinari, second shot here on 12. Up hill par five. | :40:05. | :40:11. | |
Beautiful shot. Par fives really are scoring opportunities here. | :40:11. | :40:17. | |
Along with a couple of drivable par fours, there is plenty of birdies | :40:17. | :40:27. | |
:40:27. | :40:33. | ||
to be made. Lee Westwood at the 12th. Par five. There is just a | :40:33. | :40:39. | |
hint of wind. It is blowing from more or less the same direction | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
since this event started on Thursday, and that is coming round | :40:42. | :40:49. | |
and down and on. (APPLAUSE) | :40:49. | :40:55. | |
Darren two under for his round today, 5-under for the tournament | :40:55. | :41:04. | |
and is to move to six. (APPLAUSE) | :41:04. | :41:12. | |
Winner earlier this year, now he moved back to Northern Ireland, his | :41:12. | :41:18. | |
home town. 6-under overall, 3-under today. Second shot here of | :41:18. | :41:27. | |
Montgomerie, looking down on the green. He is going to aim this just | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
right at the flag and there are rumbles of thunder in the | :41:31. | :41:41. | |
:41:41. | :41:41. | ||
background and - that was a fierce bang, he won't like that, that was | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
vicious. Play may be stopped again for lightning. Lightning is in the | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
air and that is one thing on golf courses they are always veryer in | :41:51. | :42:01. | |
:42:01. | :42:06. | ||
boy, in your come. That was the second stoppage in of | :42:06. | :42:11. | |
the day. TV coverage was brought to a halt at that point and the leader | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
board still dominated by those lucky morning starters. So, we will | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
have to bring you all the rest of the knews from round two when we | :42:18. | :42:25. | |
return on BBC2 this afternoon at 12.50. We are almost halfway | :42:25. | :42:29. | |
through this Barclays Scottish Open, and clearly an awful lot more to | :42:29. | :42:32. | |
think about over the coming couple will of days. Thereafter we will be | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
turning our focus to the 140th playing of the Open champion from | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
next Wednesday. Preview the programs on Wednesday evening and | :42:41. | :42:51. | |
:42:51. | :42:52. | ||
then we will be live from Royal St George. One man who loved the Cup | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
was Seve Ballesteros and don't forget on Sunday night we will be | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
playing a special tribute to a special player. There are many ways | :42:59. | :43:05. | |
to play golf. You can build your own course by using your | :43:05. | :43:09. | |
imagination. He put so much passion into the game, how much he wanted | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
it, how much the crowds love him. Forget the golf, we miss him as a | :43:15. | :43:20. | |
person. He was there for one reason because he had great sense of | :43:20. | :43:26. | |
humour. He had a vibrant sense of humour. He never talked about the | :43:26. | :43:36. | |
:43:36. | :43:42. | ||
worse. Join me on Sunday night at 10.25 on BBC1. That special | :43:42. | :43:46. |
