00:00This will be interesting for Harman.
00:09Oh, that's a beauty.
00:11The best I've seen since I've been in here.
00:14On the tee at 6, Hoygaard.
00:17Hole location just on the right side there
00:20over the false front.
00:21This needs to hang on.
00:24Oh boy, did he get a good break there?
00:27Wow, used the slope over there.
00:29I don't think he meant to, but he did.
00:36And dials it up.
00:38Put another man at four under par.
00:42Great chance to spark the round right here
00:44and get this crowd going.
00:48And it will.
00:50Just as you called it, it just kind of started
00:52to break and hung right there, right in the middle.
00:55Do you use the backstop and try to bring it back
00:57or just fly it on the green
00:58with a little bit of spin maybe?
01:06Ricky Fowler is on the tee at 13.
01:08200 yards today.
01:10It plays downhill 10 yards.
01:15Just beyond this flag, it goes off the back of the green.
01:18Oh, look at this Ricky.
01:22What a shot at 13 for Fowler.
01:33Oh, wait a minute.
01:35Hang on a second.
01:36Wait a minute.
01:37Didn't it feel like it?
01:41It looked like it was moving.
01:43One of our five overnight leaders.
01:49Now trails by one.
01:53Four.
01:53Four.
01:54Oh, right.
01:59Oh, dear.
02:05So one out right.
02:07One out of bounds just down the left.
02:10Niemann at the 10th.
02:23Oh, man.
02:24What a goal shot that is.
02:29Looks like he's becoming a league specialist
02:31after winning the Open Championship two years ago.
02:35Wow.
02:36That is proper control.
02:39Oh, much more accessible pin position than yesterday's.
02:44We'll see a lot more birdies and such to this one today.
02:49Right in the middle.
02:51Just like that.
02:52The lead's now two for Brian Harmon.
02:57Back in tire.
02:59Swing is looking pretty tasty, isn't it?
03:03His rhythm, his timing, his accuracy.
03:07Oh, my.
03:13Two putts is fine.
03:15Go and enjoy a late lunch.
03:17One would be beautiful.
03:21A lot of break in it.
03:22A lot of break in it.
03:23Oh, wonderfully done.
03:25What a difference.
03:30Just that little three inches in the rough.
03:33Over how much control you can get.
03:35The light did look pretty sweet, though.
03:37Oh, thank you very much indeed.
03:40Eagle attempt, Tony Fiannano.
03:51Nice card.
03:52Open with a bogey.
03:53Since then, a couple of birdies and the big bird.
03:56Here on the 12th.
03:57Where's the driver?
04:01And that looks absolutely smoked.
04:05Where's that one been, Nicholas?
04:06Where's that one been?
04:07Look at this.
04:08Can you split the fairway more than that, you think?
04:11What a tee shot for Murray McElroy.
04:15He's got it going nicely today.
04:17He's got it going nicely today.
04:27He's left to the green here.
04:30He's on four over, playing his third shot.
04:33That could be a shot that matters.
04:35Oh, hello.
04:44Now, will that be enough to play on the weekend?
04:53Go.
04:57Oh, man.
04:58What a shot from Houton.
04:59Big cut.
05:01Landing softly.
05:03Manifitz-Patrick second shot into the first.
05:06Pin back left.
05:08Oh, that looks like a nice swing.
05:11Very much controlled.
05:12Taking a little bit of yardage off.
05:15Textbook.
05:17Looks good, doesn't it?
05:18Looked very good yesterday.
05:19Very controlled.
05:21Can you draw it into this right pin?
05:24Wouldn't help you do it.
05:27Oh, unbelievable.
05:34What a shot.
05:35What a way to finish on a piece of string.
05:40Wunderbar.
05:48It's got some spin on it.
05:50Oh, it's got some accuracy on it.
05:52And, oh, Foxy.
05:59Up the hill.
06:01Up the hill, Robert.
06:02What a roar for McIntyre.
06:05Got to stroke in the last.
06:07Come straight back.
06:07All those cherry red numbers.
06:11Six of them.
06:11And one more to go.
06:12One more to go.
06:13Two.
06:19Second shot into the first.
06:21Oh, wow.
06:22What an opening shot into the green.
06:25Take a look at the weather, the difficulties of it.
06:34There we are.
06:34Opening with a bird to the world number one.
06:37In the left rough, a decent line.
06:41Perfect on line, though.
06:43See the distance.
06:44I think she's decent.
06:46Oh, it's certainly decent.
06:48Oh, what a shot.
06:53Watch it.
06:54Watch it.
06:54Watch it.
06:55Right at this pin.
06:56Just the green softening a fraction.
06:58The wind has laid down.
07:01Beautiful.
07:05Delayed spin.
07:06This to take the lead.
07:12This to take the lead.
07:14How did that miss?
07:16Now, Tom.
07:18Last week's winner.
07:19Chris Gotterrapped.
07:24Genesis Scottish Open.
07:26It's spinning.
07:27It's tiptoed over the hill.
07:28It's Gotter's dance to stand still.
07:31Excellent.
07:36Just sort of caught the knuckle.
07:43It's hard to really get this one spot on.
07:46He's almost messing around with the left side.
07:51Too good.
07:57It's impossible to hit that shot off that slope.
08:03Oh, what a, what a, what a break.
08:05Go and buy a lottery ticket.
08:07For goodness sake.
08:09Now, DJ, we're keeping our keen eye on him.
08:12He'll be here for the weekend.
08:14Should be.
08:19Oh, right into the cloth of the flag.
08:22And there we are.
08:22Kicking birdie to get back to level par.
08:24Yes.
08:29Seven birdies and 11 holes.
08:32The Englishman, Matt Fitzpatrick, takes the lead in the open.
08:34And look at that card.
08:40That's a turn from there.
08:41Has he got enough pace?
08:42Has he got enough pace?
08:43Oh, many feet.
08:45What a beautiful cut to finish with.
08:47Looks like a good line.
08:55He's a nice straight bounce and gets one.
08:57And quality plus.
09:01Maybe he'll ever reach the hole from there.
09:02To tie the lead.
09:07Oh, Scotty.
09:10Join Fitzpatrick at nine under par.
09:14One of the best iron players in the game, Cody Connors.
09:18This one is pretty much right at it.
09:22Oh, go on.
09:23The 16th.
09:23No.
09:24A hole in one.
09:26The 16th at Portrush is beyond other holes in one.
09:32Good Henry Pry.
09:34Oh, just a roll or two shy of matching the course record of his playing partner, Shane Lowry.
09:41That close.
09:42But in for the easiest 64 you will see.
09:49Scotty Scheffler, 64.
09:51The lowest round of the day.
09:52The lowest round of this championship comes from the man who said,
09:55that's at world number one.
09:57Ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick.
09:58How well he's played.
09:59Creating hope for English golf fans that there might be an English winner for the first time since Nick Faldo in 1992.
10:06Brian Harmon, the winner from Hoylake a couple of years ago.
10:10How good he looked early on.
10:11And again, certainly don't rule him out because he understands the Lynx game.
10:17How Tong Lee.
10:17There'll be plenty watching in China.
10:19And Scotty Scheffler, the world number one out in front.
10:23What a leaderboard.
10:24What a weekend.
10:24And we have installed.
10:25We have installed.
10:35We have installed.
