Padraig![/QUOTE]
YA!!! a "blast from the past" with Padraig Harrington 100-1 the 1st round leader [-7] and South African journeyman Xandar Lombard solo 2nd {-6] with seven more tied 3rd [-5]

I am behind the eight ball in my match play with Lowry [-4] vs Wallace [-2]

 

[LeRinkRat]

after the 2nd round South African Xandar Lombard, who had missed his last eight cuts in a row, the leader [-3] for tourney [-9] one shot up on Eddie Pepperell [-3] for [-8] and two up on American Abraham Ancer [-3] Lee Westwood [-3] and my Spaniard Jorge Campillo with the low round of the day [-6] all at [-7]. fifteen others at [-6] or [-5] so the tourney is definitely wide open. whoever shoots a "bomber" Saturday or Sunday probably wins.

got a "bounce back" from Matt Wallace [-2] for tourney [-4] while Shane Lowry shot [+2] for [-2]. first round leader Padraig Harrington "blew up" with a [+3] to drop to [-4]

 

[LeRinkRat]

Lahinch weather forecast looks like cloudy with a chance of rain Saturday with morning rain becoming cloudy in the afternoon Sunday

 

[LeRinkRat]

Good God Gertie!!! Robert Rock, who is known more as a top swing coach, shoots a 3rd round [-10] for tourney [-13] with the one shot lead over Eddie Pepperell [-4] and Rafael Cabrera-Bello [-7] for tourney [-12]. 2nd round leader Xandar Lombard solo 4th with a [-2] for [-11]

my man "WALL-E" Matt Wallace "blows up" with a [+3] for [-1] was lucky to make the CUT and is one back of Shane Lowry [even] for [-2]

60. Wow
A putt away from 59. I think he Par 2 Par 5’s and had a 1Bogey.

 

[LeRinkRat]

well "Rahmbo" Jon Rahm obviously likes playing in Ireland. shoots a final round [-8] for tourney [-16] and a two shot win over both Andy Sullivan [-4] and Bernd Wiesberger [-4] for [-14]. 3rd round leader Robert Rock returned to form with an [even] for [-13] tied 4th. Rahm also won this tourney in 2017 @ Portstewart GC in Northern Ireland [-24]. his "to win" is 20-1 for the British Open @ the Royal Portrush GC in Northern Ireland

Oh and my man "Wall-E" Matt Wallace played like shit Saturday and Sunday losing his tourney match play to Shane Lowry [even] to [-4]
