The commentary focuses on impressive iron shots, challenging bunker escapes, and critical putts as players navigate difficult holes and shifting weather conditions to climb the leaderboard.
He has that little stutter, it always makes me slightly nervous just before he hits it.
Oh and that is right over the top, 50 yards back in the green that pin position
and another stellar shot. Pin on the high side of the 16th, two level green, high on the right,
low on the left and don't leap too far to the left. That's well done, a bit of a slope in the
right side, excellent shot. Wind is down and from the left. Clips it off the top, hardly a divot,
just grazes the grass and another glorious iron pin. Material happened. Yes, yes, well hold.
Three under. LEDs to talk about the cut yet but it's looking like it's going to be under par,
one under par. Yeah, a nice putt, lovely. As Andrew says, not the most convincing chip shot,
pretty easy but a nice putt there to be around in under par. Six iron, 205 yards, shouldn't be
a problem. He swept that cleanly, didn't he? Not a grain of sand really between. Club face the ball,
great shot from Mark Upenge. The second hardest hole on this golf course, the 8 on the front line
is the one that causes more problems. A great look here from this angle and well just a technical
perfection really. You've got to keep your height, haven't you? On those long range bunker shots.
This is Renato Paratore, former champion here, way back in 2020 at Close House.
Should turn, big turn, pin on the little back ledge. Two halves of 34 and lovely birdie to
finish with at the 9th. Good player, nice little chip over there at 12 as well. I'll tell you what,
that's a shot and a half, isn't it? Yeah, those brighten up the day, Ken, don't they? Yeah, especially
at the 12th. It's a tough old par 3. This, would you believe, is Richard Meinsel's second shot.
His drive is finished here, 143. You can see one at two of a par. There's a bit of temper in that one.
Can he find a rare birdie? Oh, maybe he can. He knows how to go low. Birdie chance, they're pretty
scarce at 18. I think there's been seven so far today. Would it be number eight? It will. What a great way
to finish. Good looking card, 67. Sandhu over at 14. So the wonderful chip for the 2 and 12.
In she pops. Two at the 12th, two at the 14th. That doesn't happen very often. Limburg, what a talent he is.
I thought this would be a great golf course wet for him with his power and that's what he's
capable of doing. Very surprised he's three over. Yeah, he took the words right out of my mouth.
This is Max Steinlechner, a young man we saw play very well in Austria earlier on this season.
Chance to get to four under. Yeah, I watched him come through the Rolex Grand Final last year,
Steinlechner, and he looked very impressive. 296 pin, downhill into the window, a touch.
It'll land about middle of the green, I think, in terms of distance. But as we know,
it's only 15 yards wide. He pays your money, he takes your chance. Is it cutting enough? It might be.
Yeah, fabulous, fabulous. What a shot from Penj. Might have won himself a lawnmower there.
He's won up for grabs nearest the pin all week. I'm not sure what the closest is from yesterday.
We came out the bunker and they found the putting surface and that is a very difficult
putt to judge from there and Jordan has done an exceptionally good job there.
There's a difference in the way he's walking. There's a difference in the mannerisms.
Yeah, just more than a cup would be easy to overread it now, wouldn't it?
Be a fabulous eagle, be a fabulous eagle. Oh, he's got it. That is tremendous. That's how you
play the tentpole. Laura Davis style. Don't back off. Love it. Most of them, when you are,
say that the ball is not breaking as much as they're expecting it to. That's just the condition
of the surface. I like the technique there from Norgaard. Just a lovely little rock at the
shoulders. The Y shape created by the arm. Harry Hall from 128 yards with a bit of Dolly Parton
playing in the background. That was nice, wasn't it? And he's left himself the easy putt.
Par 3, 12th is a really difficult par 3. The storm is getting ever closer. Oh, a shot.
Rocking the sand out. Well, on this occasion, it probably helped being in the first cup. They
won't spin, obviously, and he's played that beautifully. Back to back birdies and in.
So 300, just the foreback of Mark's pick. Nice little left to right. It's still the deal for
a birdie in front of the local fans. Come on. Well, nicely hold. Yeah, made so much easier by
the soft conditions. Oh no, what a break. Middle of the flag and back into the bunker, I think,
or maybe just on the bank. Daniel Hilliard. Now, this should break very little from the left
and drop in about like that. Oh, my word. Tried to get out. That leaves him, I believe,
to four under par. Nakajima with his birdie over here at 14. Imagine a tiny bit of right to left
on this back level. And in. Couple under. On the cut line now. It's on a good line. If he hit it,
if he hit it, he hit it. Gets that one back. Oh no, he parked that last, didn't he? So that's two
very good putts on the trot. Sean Norris knocking a nice putt in there. And some good golf last
couple of weeks. We get back to the tee at 14. I don't know if anybody can get a hole in one here.
He'll get a Husqvarna or two more and 50,000 will be donated to
Sir Nick Fowler's charity of choice, the Gay Dogs. Really, it's quite blustery out there now.
There is water on this hole. It's not really in play when the flag's at the
at the back there and it's been peppered once again by Norris. Uphill right to left after that
delightful 7 iron at 12 feet. This would be a really good return if he could pop this in.
It's a tremendous response, isn't it? And I'm just had a feeling with that bogey at the last.
It could well be something special. I think he's my favorite to win this.
Outside chance to get to the top of that leaderboard.
Bit of company for Elvera. We won't watch it. We'll watch him and he got it. There you go.
That's the way to do it. And he does get to the top and well, this incredible run continues.
You get to five under par. Good stroke. Beautiful putt to join Vira and Jordan at the top.
Easy peasy, isn't it? That long broomstick there. He deserves something after the bad
break the ruling the other week. It was a very strange ruling and
well, they put for Willett from the wrong tier once more.
It matters not what a good putt from Danny Willett right in the middle with pace as well.
Going along very nicely. Just got to control the spin. Anything short will spin down the
mini little ridge. He won't go all the way down, but spin control key here.
What a rhythm and spin. It just is a beautiful wedge player for someone that has that awesome
power. The pace is a given, surely. I think he holds it. Plenty of people on the show to
give him a little roar when it drops in. It's not going to turn, is it? Enough. Oh, it is. Oh,
just last gasp. Perfect. They all count. Just over 180 for Iora for his second
shot here at 17th minute. Is this just a chopping and a little six here or a seven?
What a shot. He got that one right. Eagle try coming the Spaniards away.
Rain makes these fairway bunkers a lot easier. Nice solid surface to hit off. Yeah,
lovely. Really nicely done. Just enough from the right edge to get his attention.
Got it. Oh, no. Two incredible shots and you leave it hanging over the edge.
