:00:38. > :00:40.Welcome to Royal St George's. It is day two of the 140 if Open
:00:40. > :00:45.Championship. Conditions are perfect, in contrast to yesterday
:00:45. > :00:51.when it was cold and windy and wet around this time. This is the 18th
:00:51. > :00:57.green. The R&A committee are deciding where to put the pin for
:00:57. > :01:07.Sunday. We should in these conditions, with Hartley Wintney --
:01:07. > :01:11.a wind, we should have some good scores. Yesterday was a tale of two
:01:11. > :01:14.Toms. One of those was searching for redemption and the other
:01:14. > :01:24.for redemption and the other announcing himself on the golfing
:01:24. > :01:24.
:01:24. > :02:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:02:08. > :02:13.That was a belter. He has it! Tom That was a belter. He has it! Tom
:02:13. > :02:18.Lewis. He is tied with Thomas Bjorn, leader of the Open.
:02:18. > :02:27.What a day it for the two Toms, especially Tom Lewis, who was named
:02:27. > :02:31.after Tom Watson, who was playing. There's two word two of 18 players
:02:31. > :02:37.who managed to get under-par yesterday. What about the other
:02:37. > :02:45.yesterday. What about the other 154? He is an update.
:02:45. > :02:53.There was not to be any glory of four Rory. It was not a grandstand
:02:53. > :03:02.start, but it is only day one. And Garcia has his brink and a love of
:03:02. > :03:12.my game back, but he was usurped by this hairy genius. No trouble at
:03:12. > :03:17.all. Marvellous. The lots of people were getting peckish at Sandwich,
:03:17. > :03:21.particularly Rickie Fowler. We have already found the trousers
:03:21. > :03:28.of the week. Talking about trousers, things have been tame today, but
:03:28. > :03:35.the golf has been tidy. He was happy with his work. Look, he can
:03:35. > :03:45.jump! And another! Ian Poulter was looking very nice. Simon Dyson was
:03:45. > :03:47.
:03:47. > :03:53.a home-grown golfer with a reliable putting stroke, but a dodgy neck.
:03:53. > :04:02.The number one finished number 1- over par.
:04:02. > :04:06.John Daly on the first... LAUGHTER It is not going
:04:06. > :04:09.particularly well for the home- grown hero. Lee Westwood had a
:04:09. > :04:17.close relationship with the fans, but not in the way he wanted. There
:04:17. > :04:26.was too much of that... After a slow start it is time for him to
:04:26. > :04:36.attack. And he did. 3-over became 2-under. He was joined by fellow
:04:36. > :04:43.
:04:43. > :04:49.travelling to 4-under. In the afternoon, conditions were almost
:04:49. > :04:59.perfect, but the links course proved it was a tough old beast.
:04:59. > :05:02.
:05:02. > :05:11.This is confirmation of the overnight leaderboard. Webb Simpson
:05:11. > :05:16.finished yesterday with a birdie- birdie. You might be interested to
:05:16. > :05:18.know that in 13 of the last 19 Opens the winner has come from the
:05:18. > :05:26.Opens the winner has come from the top 10 at the end of day one. We
:05:26. > :05:32.are joined by Ken Brown. I want to talk about Tom Lewis. I was at the
:05:32. > :05:37.14th. He had just had a bogey. They said he has gone from the back page
:05:37. > :05:47.of the paper to a paragraph inside. Now I can shade the back page of
:05:47. > :05:50.
:05:50. > :05:55.every paper. Major Tom. He is playing with Tom Watson, who he was
:05:56. > :06:02.named after. It is amazing. He has been a wonderful player. His father
:06:02. > :06:07.was a professional. He has been moving through his status of
:06:07. > :06:11.playing in recent years. To see him playing well was superb. He was
:06:11. > :06:15.under control. He could have got nervous, but he seemed to have it
:06:15. > :06:21.in order all the way around. It was a delight. His father must be
:06:21. > :06:25.pleased. Many people say what is more impressive, the way he played
:06:25. > :06:33.or the way he conducted himself in the media centre? He will have to
:06:33. > :06:39.learn these things. As a young player, there is expectation on him.
:06:39. > :06:43.We can see him on the range this morning, warming up. He has had a
:06:44. > :06:48.lot of experience in the amateur game. I think he will be feeling
:06:48. > :06:53.quite confident. Particularly playing with Tom Watson. I was
:06:53. > :06:59.impressed Harry close at yesterday. He was 5-under alongside Thomas
:06:59. > :07:09.Bjorn. We remember 2003. He was very emotional when asked about the
:07:09. > :07:15.
:07:15. > :07:25.death of his father eight weeks ago. Well... He meant... He meant a lot
:07:25. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:37.to me. He... Would you like to take another question? Let me just...
:07:37. > :07:43.Two seconds. He would have been very proud today. That is all I
:07:43. > :07:46.have got to say. It was difficult to watch, but real
:07:46. > :07:53.courage and character in there and on the course. It has been an
:07:53. > :07:57.amazing story. In 2003 he had every chance of winning. The mishap at
:07:57. > :08:01.the 16th getting out of the bunker. His father died. He had a great
:08:01. > :08:07.start to the season and then had two months off. To come back here
:08:07. > :08:12.as a late entry, after Vijay Singh withdrew, it is a Cinderella story.
:08:12. > :08:16.No wonder he is emotional, thinking about his father as well. He played
:08:17. > :08:21.in the morning, which was tough. I did not think anybody would be to
:08:21. > :08:25.that round but the wind died down. We will keep an eye out on him
:08:25. > :08:28.throughout the day. We can bring you up to date with some of the
:08:28. > :08:37.featured groups we will be following today. The Graeme
:08:37. > :08:47.McDowell is out there already. Bubba Watson was 1-under after the
:08:47. > :08:54.
:08:54. > :09:04.first day. Lee Westwood tees off at Louis Oosthuizen is the reigning
:09:04. > :09:11.
:09:11. > :09:17.And there is Tom Lewis. He goes at 9:31am. The best of conditions
:09:17. > :09:25.today. Rory McIlroy goes off at 2:10pm. Luke Donald, the world
:09:25. > :09:35.number one, at 2:20pm. Now we can go to the first tee. This is game
:09:35. > :09:43.
:09:43. > :09:47.number 15. On the tee for England, applause for Lee Westwood. I was
:09:47. > :09:53.pleased with the way he finished his round yesterday. He made a poor
:09:53. > :09:56.start. He looked out of sorts. But, he played himself back in. 71
:09:56. > :10:06.around here is a good score, particularly in yesterday's
:10:06. > :10:28.
:10:28. > :10:38.conditions. A nice, smooth round with conditions perfect for golf.
:10:38. > :10:53.
:10:53. > :10:56.was amazed there were only three this match. Charl Schwartzel is
:10:56. > :11:06.making up the third member of the team and Maureen will follow their
:11:06. > :11:11.progress. Yes, I followed this green yesterday. They all struggled.
:11:11. > :11:16.They did so well to come in with scores 1-under and 1-over. They
:11:16. > :11:20.could not make the most of conditions. There is a sense of
:11:20. > :11:30.purpose about all of them today. They are very talented players.
:11:30. > :11:40.These conditions are now perfect. WAYNE GRADY: When the sun comes out,
:11:40. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:03.especially Lee Westwood. The home- grown hero. Everybody is hoping he
:12:03. > :12:13.can win his first Major Championship. Steve Stricker is the
:12:13. > :12:21.
:12:21. > :12:26.can bring you an update. Lucas Glover had a tidy 66 yesterday and
:12:26. > :12:34.a birdie on the second to get a share of the lead. But now he is
:12:34. > :12:44.back to 4-under. Kyle Stanley got the last place in the John Daly
:12:44. > :12:50.
:12:50. > :12:57.Classic last week. A very nice night in sparkling form. He started
:12:57. > :13:06.well to get to 3-under. But a double-bogey for Darren Clarke at
:13:06. > :13:16.the 4th hole. He is 1-under. This is how it looks in the current
:13:16. > :13:28.
:13:28. > :13:35.leaderboard. Lucas Glover picked up prepared to go out there and do
:13:35. > :13:38.something special. Keep an eye on him. Ken Brown is with me. They
:13:38. > :13:43.should be some scores out there. People are picking up shots and
:13:43. > :13:52.giving them back. It is that type of golf course. You do not have to
:13:52. > :13:59.do too much wrong to fritter at them away. -- fritter them. The
:13:59. > :14:06.late finishes yesterday, there was no wind. There is always a bit of
:14:06. > :14:13.luck on this course. But, despite no wind, you have to work hard.
:14:13. > :14:20.fascinating statistic yesterday. The last seven open champions, a
:14:20. > :14:29.combined total of 29-over par. Even experienced are struggling.
:14:29. > :14:37.have to play well. Anybody who started in the morning and broke
:14:37. > :14:43.72... You can never tell at the seaside. It is a delight today.
:14:43. > :14:51.is beautiful. There is hardly any wind. The R&A are still on the 18th
:14:51. > :14:57.green. We have to be careful. is where the flag was yesterday, on
:14:57. > :15:06.the left side. It is going to be over this side. I am not sure. It
:15:06. > :15:16.is a front right, they say. If we look around, that bunker, it is a
:15:16. > :15:16.
:15:16. > :15:20.tough spot to get at. There is the front bunker, which is a mean one.
:15:20. > :15:26.Driving down the left side will be important. There is a nasty contour.
:15:26. > :15:31.If you do not get it right, the ball will come off that and she is
:15:31. > :15:36.off and running. The greens are firmer and a little faster. But
:15:37. > :15:43.they are beautiful, true surfaces. These are relatively easy greens to
:15:43. > :15:47.read. They have subtle slopes. seems what Tom Watson said is true.
:15:47. > :15:57.These are the best and the hardest and the firmest and the toughest
:15:57. > :15:58.
:15:58. > :16:08.greens. Which is why there are not many birdies out there. You do not
:16:08. > :16:18.
:16:18. > :16:28.hold many it from 30 feet away. -- PETER ALLISS: Steve Stricker and a
:16:28. > :16:39.
:16:39. > :16:45.shot to the first. Light rough. He putt from there. I watched him
:16:45. > :16:55.hitting balls on the range this morning. A good flight for these
:16:55. > :17:05.
:17:05. > :17:15.conditions. Lee Westwood is just into the opening green and that
:17:15. > :17:27.
:17:27. > :17:32.sounded like a crisp contact. Westwood. Down the right-hand side.
:17:32. > :17:37.This is something we did not contend with yesterday, a few
:17:37. > :17:47.little flies around. May be summer is here. And 9-iron for Lee
:17:47. > :18:07.
:18:07. > :18:17.Westwood. 1-over in his round yesterday. An early chance to get

:20:23. > :20:30.learning curve, especially if he keeps playing like yesterday with
:20:31. > :20:40.seven birdies. Game number 16. From South Africa, the defending

:24:06. > :24:16.start. A beautifully controlled putting action. Just watching him
:24:16. > :24:21.throughout the day. 5-under overnight, Tom Lewis. The 20-year-
:24:21. > :24:31.old who lived up Royal St George's yesterday. We have a collection of
:24:31. > :24:32.
:24:32. > :24:40.his friends and family. We have... Tom's grandmother. Tom's friend.
:24:40. > :24:48.Mother. Friend. You seem crucial to this. He seemed very relaxed
:24:48. > :24:53.yesterday. What was it like for mother? I felt nervous, but, fine.
:24:53. > :24:58.We know Tom's father is a professional golfer. Is he here?
:24:58. > :25:06.is at home. He will be watching on the television and later, hopefully,
:25:06. > :25:16.he will come down tonight. How my friends and family have been here?
:25:16. > :25:16.
:25:16. > :25:26.Quite a few. About 30 or 40. Some people think he is going to win it!
:25:26. > :25:28.
:25:28. > :25:38.Well, it is golf's. You do not know what happens. -- it is golfer. --
:25:38. > :25:42.
:25:42. > :25:46.they are talking about. He is going to the first tee area. It is a
:25:46. > :25:56.delight to see the crowds in shirt sleeves today. They were wrapped up
:25:56. > :26:13.
:26:13. > :26:23.yesterday. Today, the sun is when the sun is out. We can see
:26:23. > :26:24.
:26:24. > :26:32.Duncan, his faithful caddy, in shorts. We wait as his playing
:26:32. > :26:38.partner, the great Tom Watson, makes his way to the tee. Each
:26:38. > :26:40.caddy wears a different colour. Red, white, yellow. It is easier for the
:26:40. > :26:50.spectators to recognise the competitors as they go around. A
:26:50. > :26:56.
:26:56. > :27:00.shot of Martin Kaymer to the first. There is a downslope in the first
:27:00. > :27:05.five yards of the green and he caught that.
:27:05. > :27:15.PETER ALLISS: He is suddenly 30 yards from a whole, from what he
:27:15. > :27:17.
:27:17. > :27:23.thought was an OK second shot. -- from the hole. Tom Watson, seeing
:27:23. > :27:28.some of his friends and fans. was his wife Hillary. Hidden away,
:27:28. > :27:34.hit two Hillary. The man with the time the swing. He has just
:27:34. > :27:37.produced a book which is beautifully illustrated. Those of
:27:37. > :27:47.you who have watched him since the early seventies, the swing is just
:27:47. > :28:11.
:28:11. > :28:17.players do not realise the power of having the crowd with you. A match
:28:17. > :28:20.and the warmth of everybody watching, hoping he will do well.

:28:39. > :28:49.bounds! It is hard on the side of the fairway where spectators are
:28:49. > :29:03.
:29:03. > :29:08.I saw the ball run back from the front edge of the green. That was a
:29:08. > :29:18.disappointing bogey from what looked like a good shot in the air.
:29:18. > :29:50.
:29:50. > :30:00.He is either very good, or quite little bit of wind has picked up
:30:00. > :30:02.
:30:02. > :30:07.and the tee shot is now a lot rough and that is well back. This
:30:07. > :30:13.hole last time the Championship was here, it was played as a par five.
:30:13. > :30:23.Now it is a four and it has brought the par of the course down to 70.
:30:23. > :30:35.
:30:35. > :30:45.And let's have a quick look at this first hole. And it is no piece of
:30:45. > :30:50.cake. In the centre of the fairway, you will see a lot of players kick-
:30:50. > :30:55.off into the rough. It turns slightly and that difficult second
:30:55. > :30:58.shot to a green that is well raised above the fairway. The landing area
:30:58. > :31:08.is all on the downslope, so it is difficult to get the ball close to
:31:08. > :31:14.
:31:14. > :31:24.everyone! And this slow-motion camera is magnificent. 1,400 frames

:33:37. > :33:47.but that should be OK. The old ball and the young ball stride away. --

:33:52. > :33:56.Sorry we don't know much more about him, we don't have a huge dossier
:33:56. > :34:00.of information, but he looks to be a wonderful prospect. We have seen
:34:00. > :34:10.a few of them in the past and they fade away, let's hope in his case
:34:10. > :34:19.
:34:19. > :34:29.would have been disappointed to make a bogey on the first after
:34:29. > :35:02.
:35:02. > :35:12.what was not a terrible shot, just Lively hands. A lively bounce as
:35:12. > :35:13.
:35:13. > :35:23.well. Using the contours. Steady. Very well played, considering they
:35:23. > :35:35.
:35:35. > :35:41.are only -- or were only hitting earlier this year in America, the
:35:41. > :35:44.32-year-old. We get lots of letters from people saying we cannot see
:35:44. > :35:54.the hole, but every one of the holes are painted white and you get
:35:54. > :36:11.
:36:11. > :36:15.a good view of it there. You can't there, up with the wind right to

:47:01. > :47:06.The second has gradually been extended down the years. The key
:47:06. > :47:09.bunkers are on the left. So easy to drive through the corner of the dog

:47:51. > :47:56.be able to play from the fairway the corner. Just give us an idea of
:47:56. > :48:00.the conditions out there this morning. PHILIP PARKIN: it is just
:48:00. > :48:04.magnificent. Until half-an-hour ago, there wasn't a breath of wind but
:48:04. > :48:09.there is now a slight breeze, which you almost need because it is so
:48:09. > :48:13.warm. Absolutely ideal. The crowd are already out on the course. And

:50:37. > :50:42.take over from Retief Goosen. It what do you playoff? 13! -- what do
:50:42. > :50:46.you play-off. I would like it to be 7. We know you are a Strictly Come

:50:52. > :50:55.since 1981, is that right? I it's going to come in 1948, but I was
:50:55. > :51:01.only four years old -- I was going to. There is something magical
:51:01. > :51:07.about this place. This place is my favourite, I think. I love it here.
:51:07. > :51:13.I love the traditions of the place. I love the course. It is such a
:51:13. > :51:18.difficult course. That bump and run, it has got more Rolls than a
:51:18. > :51:22.baker's. Who are you looking forward to watching and could you
:51:22. > :51:27.think will get there until Sunday? I like Darren Clarke, for some
:51:27. > :51:31.reason. I don't mean I like him like I like you, I like his golf. I
:51:31. > :51:35.have a feeling he is going to do all right. He is dog-eared and he
:51:35. > :51:40.wants to win. It would be great to see lest was -- Lee Westwood up
:51:40. > :51:43.there. Darren Clarke went to see two psychologists. He saw one for
:51:43. > :51:47.an hour on Wednesday and a different what an hour later,
:51:47. > :51:55.trying to sort his head out. It seems to be working force up it
:51:56. > :52:01.probably does. I would tell Darren Clarke that every you word of a
:52:02. > :52:08.sentence is only two letters, if it is to be it is up to me. And that
:52:08. > :52:12.his golf. If you get to double, you have to come back and get an eagle.
:52:12. > :52:17.That is a great quote, but there is something you want to read to us
:52:17. > :52:23.which you think sums up the game of golf. I was having a cup of tee
:52:23. > :52:27.waiting for the taxi this morning, and I was reading a magazine. It is
:52:27. > :52:33.an American magazine and it is quotes from a guy who has died, it
:52:33. > :52:38.is an obituary, but he is actually a baseball fan he did a quote on
:52:38. > :52:43.golf. Golf is the cruellest of sport, like like it is unfair, a
:52:43. > :52:50.harlot, a Trollope. It lead you won, it never lets up to its promise, it
:52:50. > :52:56.is not a sport, it is a bondage. An obsession. Up by the FA of broken
:52:56. > :53:01.dreams. It plays with men. -- A bomb the Bard of broken dreams.
:53:01. > :53:05.know you want to get Ken Brown on to the course. He will be wearing
:53:05. > :53:15.that silly woman hat he used to wear all those years ago. -- wooly
:53:15. > :53:28.
:53:28. > :53:32.hat. I am not sure that is going to truly into the centre of the cup.
:53:32. > :53:42.That little quiet that Len Goodman read out was by Jim Murray, the

:57:57. > :58:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:58:46. > :58:49.a very good job of it. -- and to a tidy start. If you can get a
:58:49. > :58:54.bit of momentum going, there is a low score today. The greens are
:58:54. > :59:04.perfect, the lightest of breezes. Just the old cabbage white floating
:59:04. > :59:39.
:59:39. > :59:49.a bit of pressure, because they know they have a chance to go low.
:59:49. > :00:26.

:00:48. > :00:58.It is the only par three in the open rota without a bunker. That is
:00:58. > :01:08.
:01:08. > :01:18.good knowledge. I might be making past the edge. Offering a few
:01:18. > :01:27.
:01:28. > :01:37.birdies playing with the front pin pink, but would he be sitting
:01:38. > :01:49.

:03:33. > :03:38.up the leaderboard. One behind. His early practice round this week with
:03:38. > :03:48.Rory McIlroy, Tuesday, eight o'clock, maybe he will be the star

:04:23. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:37.six-iron. He can fly to it miles into the air and bring it in from
:04:37. > :05:06.
:05:06. > :05:14.slopes up to the green. He would have thought that is very good. Why
:05:14. > :05:18.have they not applauded? That shopped, he held it up into a
:05:18. > :05:24.little breeze. It was coming down incredibly softly. It will be
:05:24. > :05:28.interesting to see what Tom Lewis decides to play. He is going with a
:05:28. > :05:38.5-iron. I imagine he will have to try to hold it up against the
:05:38. > :05:50.
:05:50. > :06:00.breeze. If he gets it going the And it comes back. The one, keep

:09:18. > :10:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:10:04. > :10:08.at the Open Championship. I guess fairways. When they talk about this
:10:08. > :10:16.design compared to Birkdale, they go over the dunes here, whereas at
:10:16. > :10:24.Birkdale they go through them. It is a massive piece of land. You
:10:24. > :10:29.could fit two courses in here. When you see Princes to the north, it is
:10:29. > :10:39.fitted into a smaller piece of land. This is fairly fast. It looked as
:10:39. > :10:39.
:10:39. > :11:36.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:11:36. > :11:46.greens look faster. It is easy to leave it short. They look shiny and
:11:46. > :11:53.
:11:53. > :12:03.Charl Schwartzel. We are beginning to see quality shots from the
:12:03. > :12:03.
:12:03. > :12:45.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:12:45. > :12:55.Masters champion. This is for his cutting a frustrated figure.
:12:55. > :12:58.
:12:58. > :13:05.this goes in, the crowd will go crazy. Oh, Tom. Oh, Tom. You sound
:13:05. > :13:12.like Felicity Kendal! That was a chance to lead on his own. He is
:13:12. > :13:22.doing the right thing, hitting it nicely. He does not look to be
:13:22. > :13:28.
:13:28. > :13:34.the company of Ken Brown. The 4th tee shot into the breeze is a
:13:34. > :13:39.spooky one. Down the right there is a bunker. A it is a big bunker.
:13:39. > :13:44.Look at the size of that. Let me drop a couple of balls in. With the
:13:44. > :13:50.breeze behind, you can knock it over, but into the breeze, look at
:13:50. > :13:55.it. I dare not drop it into there. Unbelievable. A scary tee shot. On
:13:55. > :14:01.the left side of the fairway, there is something else. You endeavour to
:14:01. > :14:11.miss the right hand bunker, you then trickle down the left side and
:14:11. > :14:11.
:14:11. > :14:21.there is another one that is completely unseen from tee. Right,
:14:21. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:35.terrible. Left, a sneaky bunker. Not a lot of trouble to carry the
:14:35. > :14:41.bunkers but you have to carry it 260 to get over the mound. If you
:14:41. > :14:47.go left, you go to the bunker that you pointed out, Ken. It is easy to
:14:47. > :14:53.drift in there if you are not careful. Another important putt for
:14:54. > :15:03.Graeme McDowell and this one he missed. He had a slight misjudgment
:15:04. > :15:19.
:15:19. > :15:29.line but it came up short. He had an eagle at seven, birdie at eight.
:15:29. > :15:33.
:15:33. > :15:43.Big support the Darren Clarke. He came very close in true there. --
:15:43. > :15:59.
:15:59. > :16:03.Jonathan Byrd in a playoff, it has been a hard year. A tough time off

:16:13. > :16:43.
:16:43. > :16:48.course. The first fairway and Webb waiting five minutes. Throughout,
:16:48. > :16:56.the wind has tried to increase. The forecast is that the wind will get
:16:56. > :17:06.stronger as the day goes on. it is into the face. We may see people in
:17:06. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:38.And there is the evil bunker. not just the bunker. It gathers it
:17:38. > :18:15.
:18:15. > :18:25.so well, if it goes anywhere near his tee-shot into. If the wind
:18:25. > :18:44.
:18:44. > :18:49.picks up any more, it will be a look. It has gone. It has a
:18:49. > :18:59.gravitational pull, this bunker. He thought that was good and so did
:18:59. > :19:28.
:19:28. > :19:36.seen one or two players misread the will go off much later. Darren

:20:04. > :20:13.under way. The yellow numbers are and when the pressure comes down on
:20:13. > :20:23.this young man's shoulders. He is coping well so far. Although, the
:20:23. > :20:28.
:20:28. > :20:31.4th hole may prove to be a course. But, one thing the are in
:20:31. > :20:37.daylight to do is to make sure there is plenty to do off the
:20:37. > :20:44.course. People are having a go at the golf simulator. You can pretend
:20:44. > :20:48.to be some of the world's best golfers. This lady is playing in
:20:48. > :20:58.Donald and the other Tiger Woods. You can try your driving. You can
:20:58. > :21:07.see why you hit it wide. Hello, everybody. This is a remake of a
:21:07. > :21:12.bunker. Gavin Hastings's is preparing. You are a golfer. I know
:21:12. > :21:22.you have done it on the big stage. But I want you to get out of the

:23:02. > :23:07.wonderful swing. He qualified in Texas. And it is a beauty. It is
:23:07. > :23:16.fantastic! We thought we had another hole in one to go with
:23:16. > :23:26.Dustin Johnson's yesterday. He loves the Open. Playing his 25th

:24:19. > :24:21.
:24:21. > :24:26.has to get it up quickly because there is a bank in front of him. If
:24:26. > :24:35.he gets extra height into the wind, maybe the front edge, if he
:24:35. > :24:45.completely pures this one... He hit that as sweet as he could.
:24:45. > :24:55.
:24:56. > :25:05.thought he could not get the driver middle of the fairway and not
:25:06. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:34.of Tom Lewis. It is quite close to difficult hole, this was the one.
:25:34. > :25:39.Tom Lewis is even more underneath the bank than Henryk Stenson. He
:25:39. > :25:44.managed to get 120 yards at of his shot, but Tom Lewis has no chance
:25:44. > :25:49.of getting that distance. There is a ridge that is about 100 yards in
:25:49. > :25:54.front of him. If he can get it over there, it will make the next shot
:25:54. > :26:04.easier. If not, he will spin back and he will lose another 20 yards.
:26:04. > :26:18.
:26:18. > :26:23.He does not want to be greedy, so he can get a shorter iron and
:26:23. > :26:33.better view of the green, and he clipped the top of the lip. It was
:26:33. > :27:13.
:27:13. > :27:21.not the steepest, but easily done He found a decent lie, but club up.
:27:21. > :27:31.A three-quarter nudge and excellent. He fancies he can get there with an

:28:02. > :28:12.one. That was unlucky. The rise in the green is about eight feet. It
:28:12. > :28:19.is a big slope to come up. We talk about his great amateur career, but

:29:24. > :29:28.he is out of the rough, he cannot really fly it all the way. It is
:29:28. > :29:32.amazing how quickly this can turn into a horror, this hole, because

:34:14. > :34:18.just about as subtle as you can get in the world of golf. It all

:41:53. > :41:57.earlier this week talking about an interesting implement he has got in

:42:49. > :42:55.both arms. And did genuinely helps? Absolutely. -- and it genuinely
:42:55. > :43:00.helps? There is so much you can do with it. And if you get really
:43:00. > :43:05.desperate, you can hit it off the tee. I can say it is my club back
:43:05. > :43:11.home and it gives me an extra couple of inches! I just got this
:43:11. > :43:19.one for the US Open 2009, so it has a bit of a good luck charm to it as
:43:19. > :43:24.well. It has been used to death. It is good. 60 guys here use them and
:43:24. > :43:29.have one. I am sure there is 1 in the physiotherapy trailer. It has
:43:29. > :43:33.been good for me because before play in the locker Room, it is
