After a rough start I ended up alright in round 1 with a -7. Round 2 it just all went to hell in a handbasket. Had about 12 lipouts, 2 balls in the water, couldn't hit anything straight. Think I finished up +2. This pic just about sums up my 2nd round. This PicI'm not sure how that lie is even possible. Seems like it's defying gravity Edit: Apparently I suck at posting pics err Clicking on the link to your picture is worth the effort. I'm guessing you didn't leave the putt short.

Looks like I'll be right at the cut line again this week. -6 on round 1 and -4 on round 2. Made a couple of stupid/bold course mgmt decisions and missed a few putts that I should have made but overall....I am pleased.

Definitely blew it by the hole about 50ft and off the green. It was fantastic. Craziest part is that in round 1 I hit my first shot in that same area and it actually rolled up into the rough but still came back out and rolled down the slope. Somehow keeping it on the green managed to hold that slope better than rough

Somehow keeping it on the green managed to hold that slope better than rough I had my shot stop at almost the exact same place on the same hole. I thought for sure it would roll back toward the flag, somehow it rolled up the hill and stopped on the side of it.

-6 in the first round 2nd round I started with 2 straight bogeys, but was able to recover for -5.
Not sure if -11 will be good enough for the cut, but I am pleased with the rounds. Tough course!

If the ball runs down or across those steep slopes it will run down but for some reason a ball that runs up slopes like that seem to have a pretty good chance of just stopping in a place they never would.

Just finished my rounds, -47 in the end. Rounds of 58,6159,63 I just hope that the stupid mental error that I made on 13 in round 4 doesn't cost me? For some reason I decided to play a high cut with a 9 iron from 148 yards. I aimed for the middle of the green with 1.5 boxes of fade to counteract the 13mph quartering wind + a bit more, to try and play the perfect shot. It was totally unnecessary, I mean I played safe off the tee with 5 wood and could have easily hit it to twenty feet and took my chances from there. Of course it went into the water and I made double. Happy to bounce back with two birdies straight after that, but -2 for my final 9 still hurts a bit. Over all I played very well, played some great shots and holed a few putts. Really enjoyed the course, I'm a big fan of firm setups. This course got it right IMO, you had a chance on more or less every hole with the correct shot and a bit of luck. You could play for some crazy rolls, when they came off it was great, but many times I fell foul of the ball sticking somewhere where it really shouldn't have. Good luck to all players yet to finish.

Awesome score, Bradley! Once again... I'm done with my first two rounds so far, and im sitting at -19 at that point: Rd1: 62 (-10) Rd2: 63 (-9) It spoils nothing to say that I'm quiet happy with that score(s) so far. This course definitely has its pitfalls (in a positive way; don't get me wrong here), but I somehow managed to stay out of them mostly so far. If I could manage to continue about the same way I did so far, I'd be pretty happy at the end of the week!

I just love how you talk Bradley haha. The "doesn't cost me?" bit got me. That was the only thing stopping you from being even more ahead of the rest of the field!

I had a good feeling I would do well on Hamish County Down and I did (kind of). For the 2nd week in a row 'moving day' killed my aspirations for an even better result. Oh well, first Top 10 of the season ... many more will be needed if I want to make the 2016 Ryder Cup team, but it's a start.
Missing the PGA Tour for the 2nd week in a row wasn't planned, but Cuyahoga Golf Club gave me a migraine in practice. Something I don't need this week; pretty busy @ work you see. So Timberland Golf and Hunting Club it is than. Looking forward to it!
Excellent win Bradley and good luck in Malaysia.
