Omega European Masters: 59 watch

Craig Lee -7 after 8 holes. No jinx please!

Scores all over the place today, but Ross Fisher is also -7, albeit after 14 holes.
Watched your mate Luiten play a few holes last month, mighty. Very enjoyable, effortless swing. Doesn't seem to take himself too seriously.

Out in 28 . . . . .

This is incredible . . . . . . !

Too bad Joost is not scoring too well. Lee now -9 after 10. Two more for a 59, but if he keep this up a 55 is more likely

You've thought playing with Harrington would slow him down . . . . .

Fish now at -8 after 16.

Perhaps Harry's pace is good for the man? He needs 3 more of course for a 59 (par 71) with 5 to play (including 2 par 5's and a driveable par 4). Will he pull it off?

Now needs to birdie 17 and 18.
Whatever happens, it's been a remarkable round.
Nine under par thru ten holes must be very close to a Pro record.

61.... good on the man. Not what he wanted to be sure... but he made some nice par savers coming in. GREAT round.

Not sure what's in the water at Crans, but Fish was four under after 4today, Canizares four under after 3!

Looks like a shoot-out among the top 4 or 5.

Must be a very easy course.

The inevitable collapse by Harri on the back 9 of a tournament he was not in contention to win has begun surprisingly....................i was expecting the bogey/double to come nearer to 14/15.................i would predict a birdie or 2, with another double guaranteed unfortunately.....

Poor effort so far this weekend from Casey also.
It's going to be a long hard road back to the Top 50 for both St.Padraig and St.Paul unless they can start to gring out decent finishes even when not in contention.

Bjorn showing them the way right now, though still waiting for The Mechanic to go thru the gears. Too late for him tho', you'd think.

Ah, There it is, the obligatory Par-5 bogey for Harrington - which of course was followed immediately by a bird seeing as it's now all irrelevant.

Harrington is a bollox

To go from the fringes of the Top 10 to the fringes of the top 40 is pathetic, if completely predictable...........................

. . . . . yet he's the one who p1sses and moans about the fact that he doesn't qualify for the WGC's etc. And he'll miss The Masters and US Open this year also unless he starts to apply himself.
You'd think, as an accountant, he'd be able to figure that our for himself. Nah . . . .

...but TB seems to have figured out how to finish tournaments.

So are you all going to try Bjorns technique on winning? Be a miserable git on course!!

Seems to work for Tiger Woods; maybe Bjorn copied him.

Not just on course for Nine CHins

It all seriousness, what do you make of Bjorns comments that he was too happy on course the week before, and this week made a concious effort not to be this week. Anyone buy into it?

Working for a Danish company with a lot of Danish people, trust me, their idea of what constitutes "happy" might not be the same as ours.

Laugh an hour.

He certainly looked happy (satisfied?) in his post-round hug-fest with The Mechanic.

Very pleased for Bjorn.
Don't know anything about Craig Lee, though, and didn't he do well?!?

Scottish Pro Golf on the up and up.

He always struck me as a bit of a ' bear with a sore head' kind of guy, good to see him smiling after. Good result for Lee, shame he couldn't get the win but good week nonetheless,should set him up for a while.

This morning's GolfWorld tells me Bjorn is known as "Cyclone" on the E.T. as he's like a slow-moving depression.

I knida like watching him, and would love his wedge game!

Gary Boyd in this week's field in Holland.

Maybe he just smoked too much of MAJ's cigar?

In all seriousness, I think TB's on course mood has been a bit up and down. A bit more up in the last few years. You see him grinning and smiling a lot more than in his earlier career.

And then he's a lot more interesting and honest listening to than most other golfers. I hope he finds his game and starts contending in the big tourneys again.

I saw that kwinI, last chance saloon, but I think he us looking at a full season on the challenge tour next season, unless he comes through q school, which is unlikely IMO, don't know what do you think?

I think (maybe because he's been told ) to be more upbeat on the course, and it's helping his game. It works for me - I play better when I'm up. Of course.. it's easier to be upbeat when you're playing better.. rinse and repeat...

Agree bob. At least 5-10 years ago all top golfers also had a shrink associated, most notably Jos van Stiphut (spelling?). Think both Bjorn, Els et. al. used him. But we don't seem to hear so much about it anymore.
