BARJON AND STEVENS IN THE CLUBHOUSE ON -23
Paul Barjon of France and partner Sam Stevens have finished with an impressive -8 round to storm up the leaderboard but their -23 total is unlikely to be enough.
LOWRY AND McILROY DROP ANOTHER SHOT ON THE THIRD
Things are not looking promising for Lowry and McIlroy’s prospects with the duo going bogey, birdie and now bogey again. Lowry just missed a short bogey putt on the par three third to slip to +1 for the day. They finally make their first par on the fourth.
NEW LEADERS AS RAMEY AND TRAINER MARCH ON
Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer are now clear on their own at the top after a fifth successive birdie. What a back nine they are having as they head to the 15th tee but the overnight leaders Blair and Fishburn have a great look at birdie on the second after Fishburn fired in a wedge so they have a chance to get to -24 too.

McILROY AND LOWRY LOOK TO BOUNCE BACK ON SECOND
After dropping a shot on the first to slip back to -20 and into a tie for 11th, the Irish pairing have a chance to pick up potentially two shots on the par 5 second after Lowry fired in an approach with a 7iron after a booming drive by his playing partner. Rory leaves his eagle putt short but Lowry taps in for birdie.

LOWRY AND McILROY DROP A SHOT AT OPENER

BIG-NAME PAIRING OF McILROY AND LOWRY UNDERWAY
McIroy and Irish compatriot Lowry were welcomed on to the first tee by some Irish music but Lowry has teed off with a fairway wood and missed the fairway well into the right hand trouble in the trees. They are already looking like dropping a shot.
