Just a short walk to the 12th tee to a pin perched back right a small little shelf to access
but Ivan made
Easy work of it nearly found the one a tap in for two fifth birdie in a row for the Spaniard at that point
It's going to the second Laporta playing 35 yards longer than it did on the first day. They moved the tee back
He's a drawer of the ball normally and that is a cracker
Only five yards to work with over that fringe
Oh, it's a buck. It's a beauty. Well, I'm so happy to see that because that hand was coming off the club
To Brandon stone out of the the sand at the first
Did he get it cleanly sounded? Okay. I certainly was spin back now a little eyes a beautiful golf shot
Like a lot of the Japanese players
He has that very slow deliberate backswing almost the pause as he nails it
Adrenaline bursting through his veins and he's smashed one arrow straight down the middle
Down the right kind of some semi rough which will take the spin out of this so
Sucking it back to that penalty area was not a problem. It was beautifully judged
He got the reed he wants
But a good part the last
Is a superb
Passing my goodness me
Pin will it break it does
strolls one in for mid-range
Sounds trying to find a home for that ball
Exactly where it's gone into the heart of the hole for Marcel
Normally the hardest hole on the golf course
During the week. Oh, that's a cracker. That really is. That's not an easy flag to get up just over the bunker
Been a bit of a mystery for day for David pooch on the greens. Can he find one?
much better
18 Marcel is having a rock and roll day so far
lots of
Variety on the scorecard and oh, well, that's a cracker
to Schneider at 12
There it is the clenched fist
the Porter on the power 3 8 oh
It's like a dart. It's to be a straight putt. We saw it come past. He will have seen that
He's got a nice putting routine down, right?
Over to Loughton rush of blood
This is a touch further than we thought but nonetheless it is a make and guess what? There's two on top now
Three birdies in a row up the slope here not the easiest to reach with nobody's done it
160 yards he could cover that with a nine iron
And does and a little spin. That's a great golf shot
Once he gets his eye and he doesn't see anything but flags loud. He's always been that way
They've not a jot of difference
That'll do it. No, it's a great shot. Isn't it?
Will be the seventh birdie of the day. It's looking good. Oh, he's got another one
What a run from the Dutchman
Brendan stone
Safely aboard the 10th green a putt that will break just a little from his left to right
Judge it correctly with the correct speed. That's what happens
Well, this is awkward above his feet very difficult and not being a great front nine for cats or a gala. Surely not
I had to play it that way. That was a genius shot
Who's just pulled one in over there at the night
For Jordan Smith don't get tempted to go straight up this pin
Middle of green will do the job
Exactly there. It's a fabulous shot once again
Still doable just bail out left with that nasty flag over there on the right little help in the air six iron
well
216 that is just about as good as it gets
292 is the yardage
293
Well, it's a momentum shifter
But he keeps it heading in the right direction
And jumps up to the top of the board
Wonderful free flying swing is not near God Peterson. Oh
Almost as good as loudness not quite but that was a three wood
Middle tier to be found for Smith
Well, he nearly found the hole
Brown to get the 12 another fabulous tee shot
In you go warming up now birdies are flowing
Look out. Oh
Well, they really are hitting some wonderful iron shots today all these players
Will it be 11 or 12 under at day's end for pinch? It's the ladder
That's our gal. I still yet to have a birdie. It's had an eagle to drop shots. Oh
My goodness nearly had a second eagle
This is 16th. Queen's been a horrible day the Marcel seem
Nothing gone right in front of his home fans
Oh
Never anywhere else was it for cats or a gala?
Well, we haven't seen many birdies at 17. And this is ash and woofer
one of those rare beasties
Only one I'll make that too. I'm gonna say only one so far would we believe it he comes up with a beauty
Got a big green to hit unless you get greedy
And he was he was greedy
Cut pace. I've got the line as well. Jay. Can I have the lottery numbers, please?
Just take it just to the right of that five the five of fifteen
Just about there
Down the hill. Yeah, nice fist pump
lovely birdie at 18 for near God Peterson and
He's gonna be level far as well
Move down the hill good pitch excellent birdie to finish for ash and woo
What?
It says on the pin sheet the flags 21 on but it's not quite on the angle. They're playing you'll see just in a moment
It's only just over that water on that side. That's a cracker
absolute beauty
To a man they're going for this green
Just the right distance Oh
Seem to be murmurs of good from behind the tea. Oh and it is
It is an eagle at 16 for Dan Brown and just like that he ties the lead
It's perfect. This is exactly where he was a
Love his responses to his caddy
Don't go right. I think that was find the middle of the green and he did exactly that
Does he go at it? Oh, it's a great stay there. Stay stay. He's not far from peeling backwards up. There's a great golf shot
really is
It's excellent speed
Really strong tribe
No nerves there
Right out the middle of the blade and it's an excellent day's play
and then 65
On Saturday, but isn't that just nice to be able to say?
Started the day three behind ended it one ahead courtesy of a fabulous 65. Just how well do you feel you played today?
Not not as well as yesterday
I felt like I maybe got away with a couple of shots today where I was trying to play
sort of sensible middle of the green kind of pushed or pulled them and then you end up kind of like staying on the
green when the three pins three or four from the
Left or right and you end up having a 10-foot or so
yeah, it wasn't quite as controlled as yesterday, but
But played nicely coming in you did play nicely coming in 30 for the back nine six under palm
What was going through your mind as you were unfolding that particular run of flight? I'd yeah
I mean, it's kind of just going with the
flow really I
Didn't feel like I was under any pressure at all like all day. I felt like really relaxed and having a
Laugh and joke my caddy and then and then I said to him on the 18th green
I was like this for 29, so I left it short, but there's water behind in there. So there is water. Yeah
Opportunity to win for the second time tomorrow and in this marquee championship one that everybody wants to win
Just give us your thoughts. What would it mean to you?
Haven't really thought by it
Try not to get upset
But yeah
Something happened at home last week that I'm not really yeah, but win or lose tomorrow
Yeah, I'm not sure to be honest I'm really thought about yeah now you're going through a tough time
We really appreciate coming to do it. It's good luck tomorrow. Thank you
