Come on Darren!!
The Open Championship - Royal St George's
- Thread starter Irwinwastheking
- Start date
Clarke birdies the first. Class.
He should be well able for the wind and the rain. Apparently he has been practising in Portrush for the last year or so. It should suit his game.

7 back from the leader now is a long long way!
Would be an incredible story if Clarke could win this. Bit of a missed opportunity for another birdie at the 2nd
I can't wait to finsih work so I can actually watch some of this!
Looking forward to the couch all day tomorrow with a few tinnies and the Golf on TV and the Gaelic on my laptop.
Perfection~!

I havnt moved for 3 days. Morning to night sittin watchin golf 
Thats surely the end of McIlroys chances
Ricky Fowlers been fantastic today
V composed from Fowler. needs to back it up tomorrow for once....
Clarke goes to -5. Dustin Johnson in 2nd on -4
If the weather hadn't of changed and it had stayed poor, then +4 would have been decent.
Now McIlroy has no hope unless he shoots 62 or something tomorrow.
Gonna have some serious split loyalties tomorrow. Id take Clarke winning over financial gain. He hasnt played anywhere near this well in over 5 years
Wouldn't min either of the final pair winning. Both have had bad breaks in the past and would be worthy winner.
Wow, awesome performance again from Clarke. His approach play was fantastic and if he hadnt missed 3-4 relatively easy putts he's have a hell of a lead. fecking hell, another potential major winner from NI.
I actually thought Johnson shot the round of the day especially as this is Clarke's natural domain in a sense...anyone within 8 shots still has a chance tomorrow
Johnson has the perfect game for playing in the wind. He hits it low and very long.
Yeah, Johnson had a great round too. I'd actually say Fowlers was the most impressive. He played his whole round during the worst of the weather and i was impressed with how he didnt let it affect him. Was very gutsy.
I really hope the man from Dungannon, Northern Ireland wins this. He has fought hard when in the heat of battle, while others have failed around him, he has carried himself with dignity and done Northern Ireland proud.
His whole career will come down to how he does today. He will either be remembered as one of Northern Ireland's greats or just another season long campaigner
EDIT: Shit folks - Wrong forum - I'm obviously talking about Jim in tonight Apprentice - Good luck to Clarke also

Its gona be rough today. Strongest wind they've encountered this weekend. I can see the leaders coming back to the field. No one will do a Justin Leonard today.
It should suit both Clarke and Johnson so.
Hopefully!!! Jesus McIlroy cant buy any luck this week. Nice to see a smile on his face though. Tiger was always too harsh on himself in that position
I dont think McIlroys played well enough this week. It seems to have been a constant battle for him. He hasnt hit enough fairways and he's missed far too many putts
Get in there!!!! fantastic start by Clarke
Mickelson looking dangerous
Can't stand Mickelson, bastard is on an absolute tear atm
3 birdies and an eagle after 7
3 birdies and an eagle after 7

Mickelson with the inevitable short miss.
