more difficult. Time for rest, for a leader. He looks very relaxed.

That is a nice bit of rough, just behind him. This is a big moment

What sort of club there? Just an eight-iron. An eight-iron? Goodness

Magnificent shot. He has had up and down couple of days. A chance for a

I am sure he will be here for the weekend. He is making hard work of

it. Many of them are. It sounds simple to say, find a fair ways,

three-putt. When you get down to it, it is as simple as that. You do not

have to play Majid shot on every luck here. He carried over some

horrible long rough on the bank there. His ball has ended up

exactly where the marshals have to have any chance of making the

cut. He has a monster putt left. There is more than a slight chance.

couple more good rounds. Birdie parked -- for Darren Clarke. His

it on the wrong spot in this opening hole. See that little buggy

A round of 60 today. How did it go? I was hard on myself yesterday. In

conditions like that, you need to shoot to a three-under-par Mac.

Today was a bit better. I worked on the range with my coach. I found

the shot I was looking for all week. I got lucky on a few tee-shots. I

only made one putt inside 20 feet. We have been talking about the

conditions. It looked perfect. Everything seemed right for great

scoring conditions. You around with Rory McIlroy, he has struggled as

well. We have been a bit mystified as to what some of the major

problems where for you. What was giving everyone such grief?

know this golf course. If you had one bad shot. That gets you in real

trouble. It kind of snowballs. You make a bogey on the next hole, on

the next hole, you do something wrong. You have got to be spot on

the whole time. Today was difficult with the bunkers around the greens.

They were full of water. Everyone knew it would be that way. He had

the odd shot and it goes in the trap and you're going to struggle

to get it out. It was difficult. I still saw quite a few birdies out

there. You did indeed. The leader at the moment today, I put me in

mind of Someone two years ago. When you look back at these wonderful

pictures of you winning at claret jug, it was some real life-changing

moment for you. In what ways has everything been different for you

since then? It has been a great ride since then. It has opened a

lot of doors, a lot of opportunities, I have been able to

play golf all over the world. Confidence wise, it has done me the

world of good. The position Bradleys in right now, it is a

great spot to be in. You feel like you cannot do anything wrong. He

has not made a bogey yet. If he goes 36 holes around this track

without a bogey, that would have been something special. Once you

get into the groove, hitting greens and making putts, you just want to

keep playing. There are a whole host of South Africans, you have

Retief Goosen And Ernie Els started it. When you grow up, you wanted to

be one of those two. He wanted to strive and achieve what they

achieved. We have got a good programme for juniors in South

Africa. The weather, you can play 247, you can play golf 52 weeks per

year. In the winter, you can play. Other than that, we are exporting

country. You're doing your bit for the tourist board there, clearly! A

lot of people have been asking, are you over that defeat at the Masters

in the play-off this year? He won the next week, obviously. As is

still far too little that? I think I will probably be over at once I

get the green jacket eventually. Getting that close to it, it hurts

a lot. I got over it quickly and it would remind it -- my mind at ease

the next time I play there, whenever I get the jacket. He gave

everyone an amazing ride that weekend. Particularly with the

albatross on that final day. It was wonderful stuff. What are your

prospects for this Championship? all depends. I need a law round

tomorrow. If I can shoot five-under tomorrow, I have a chance. Anything

within six shots at the Open Championship is giving you a good

chance. The wind may blow and people like yourself and this

fellow, Padraig Harrington, know how to play in the wind. He is

finishing off at the last. There is a lot of weather coming in, will be

here, particularly on Sunday. Ewen Padraig Harrington will be in the

next, I am sure. It has been a down at some of the players getting

at two over par. This is his 10th Open Championship, he has only made

the cut twice. It is unusual for such a fine player to have such a

poor record here at the Open couple of rounds. There is the spin.

Pleases the crowd, but very little has pleased Phil Mickelson today.

Rather than the form of last week at Castle Stuart, it has been the

form of three or four or five weeks previous to that, when he has been

struggling. Some chanting greets the world No. 1, Luke Donald. He

has given himself a chance for the par. If you take out the leader,

he's just four behind. Here he is, setting a furious pace. It looks

like they have missed the green hole-in-one. It should have given

him the idea that he was going to do something special. After a drop

shot on the third, Adam Scott is in much club won it out of the rough.

few lively cries for Tiger Woods as wonder what today will hold? I got

off to a quick start today. It was a nice start, but I was really

pleased with the way I played today. I was just lacking a bit of speed

on the greens. I can hit the ball well and I can putt, and I can do

all the things you need to do to win golf tournaments. I have won a

few tournaments this year so far. We have a long way to go, but I am

finishing on 11-over. Paul Casey is sadly on that number as well. Adam

Woods. Three wins already this year. great expectation on his shoulders

being a winner of the Major. He got away with this a little bit, still

very, very difficult. This is for today and they were saying that the

first six holes were brittle because of the wind in their face.

It has switched around a bit. You can't call what is out you're a

wind. Maureen is down at this group. Justin Rose Hogan to get off to a

fast start. His tee-shot was made to look ordinary because of the

the Bay Hill Invitational, won his own and another. Probably the three

titles most coveted by the other players. At his own tournament, she

faded away badly at the weekend. close as he used to playing really

well, he is still not quite there. We did not see him hitting too many

drivers yesterday. It will be interesting to see what he does

today. There should be a great atmosphere, Maureen. That was a

beautiful shot. His line for the part will be just coming in

slightly from the right hand side. He complained yesterday that he

round of 60, a day which was curiously lacklustre?

difficulty was that the wind was in a slightly different direction to

the rest of the week. It was are a strong wind, the greens were still

that strong wind it did not arrive? That is true. There is a good

scoring possibility out there, brand is -- Brandt Snedeker is

showing that. There were some good putts on the front nine. The putter

was working well for you. I almost played better yesterday, but the

days presumably? John has not taken his staff, but I told him not to

solid, as a result, I'm in a good position. It is good to put the US

Open behind me, and get a move on. Obviously, Brandt Snedeker is

playing very well, but I'm excited. We wish you all the best.

He is still very much in it. There are only seven players between him

and the leader. Snedeker has to keep it going, like this guy, Adam

holes on the golf course. Scott is on his own in third place. Paul

golf. Graeme McDowell, one under for his round. He will be

volatile scoreboard. Watching Tiger Woods, he has got the ball under

Whereas the breeze coming from? is fractionally coming into us.

This is the longest of the par three holes. It is a little bit

uphill. There is a lot of dead ground out there. That is the

design of this course. It is trying to cheat your eyes, trying to

seduce you to playing the wrong shot. A bit of discussion going on.

I put the ball in some good spot. Are you aware that to Tiger the

championship record today? -- tied. I do like the history. I was aware

of the record. Your past experiences have not been going so

well. How differently is this course playing in comparison to

previous years? It is relatively soft. There has not been much wind.

I have a different mentality this time round. I'm not trying to play

for the pin all the time. What are you like playing in wind? Hopefully

pretty good. I enjoy it. I like to see a play tough. I'm up for

of age. And only recently made the step to go full time and trouble

with Rory. They have been working hard recently and we have been

watching this from a camera on the range and he has been intricately

looking at the moving parts of the swing. It has been interesting to

see. I wonder what difference that will make to his game. Let's

reflect on his day to day and then we can hear from him. From Northern

Ireland, Rory McIlroy. A steady start. Another shot goes. Well done,

Rory. Dropper shot hit, drop a shot there. And he goes to 2-over par.

Not the Friday morning Rory has been after. A frustrating day for

you, what is your take on your second round? Yes, it was not what

I had hoped for. I did not drive the ball particularly well. If you

don't, you struggle. I did not hit his many fairways as I would have

liked. When you do that you will struggle. There are a few bunkers

to find, but when they are full of water, how difficult does that make

the shots? It makes it very difficult with wet sand. Usually

the ball comes out pretty low but with some of these high faces it is

hard to get the ball up straightaway to get it over the lip.

Yes, it made it more difficult out there. I should not have been

hitting them in there. Did your place surprise you because

everything looked perfect yesterday? Yes, I hit the ball well

for a lot of today but I missed a few tee-shots and did not commit to

them and did not trust myself. There was the difference from

yesterday. Tomorrow morning, you should be a great draw in third

round. Yes, go out there tomorrow morning, try and get them back as

many shots as I can and into the red figures and see what the guys

do ahead of me. We wish you well for Saturday. Thank you. Thank you.

He would definitely have to go 12 shots behind. Would he make of this,

no matter what the conditions, wind behind or against. It is like who

been played in the Open at Carnoustie all those years ago. He

has missed his area here. He is 147 to go but the grass is on the line

tremendous speed even through this slightly damp rough. Hard to

luck. There's enough bad luck in this game so ride your luck when

make it. This is from 124. Oh no, it is fading right. He will need

better shots than that. It has eased back into two over but I

of these. How has he been putting? You mean when he was young? Well,

it's the first green he has missed in regulation. He has been putting

well. He looks comfortable. Sometimes he complains about not

releasing the putter through the ball, but there is a quiet mess

about him which I have not seen for a long time. And hurried in his

decisions. Quite cool so far. This par saving putt will come from his

right side, and this will be momentous from him as any birdie

phenomenal as well. I remember when he won the US Open in San Diego.

hitting. We have seen a lot like that today, Andrew. I can't

remember a time when I have seen so many fairways missed, or greens

missed. We just got a glimpse of Alan Dunbar there, who is not too

far away from the cut. His only hope there was it was going to hit

very severe. I don't know if that is absolutely fair. That is the way

it is, golf is not supposed to be at the 11th hole. It does not look

has been so accurate. They were going in from all over the shop. He

has not been in a bunker in 36 holes, has not made a bogey in 36

holes. It has been proper exhibition stuff. It was all a

recipe for some sparkling golf today. He is aiming to become the

third American in succession to conquer this course. That was a
