On the Road with Padraig
Omega European Masters
Padraig shows his class after a poor start, where he found himself two over par after four holes, to record a five under par round of 65. This left him inside the top twenty and a nice platform to improve with the Irish Open next week. The highlight of the day for Padraig was an eagle three on the par five 14th hole, where he hit his second shot to five feet and converted. Back home now and hopefully a commanding performance at the K Club!
Padraig shoots a third round of two under par 68 that leaves him at seven under par and just inside the top thirty heading into Sundays final round. He recorded five birdies on the day but too many mistakes ruined his chance of a low score. His accuracy off the tee cost him as he made a couple of bogies and a double bogey on the front nine. All to play for on Sunday! Fifteen under par leads!
Padraig continues his good form around Crans sur Sierre with a two under par round of 68. His five under par total leaves him just outside the top thirty and seven behind the half way leader. He recorded three birdies and had just the one dropped shot on the par four 4th hole where he found a fairway bunker off the tee. His putting was on point with just 28 putts for the day so will be hoping for more of the same over the weekend. He tees off at 9.50am local time in the third round with Miguel Angel Jimenez.
Padraig opens his account in Switzerland with a fine round of three under par 67 on his 52nd birthday! Four birdies in all were recorded on the day, with just one dropped shot at the par four 2nd hole, where he found trees off the tee. He sits just four shots behind the leaders and will tee off at 1.20pm local time on Friday!
Padraig plays this week at the Omega European Masters in Crans sur Sierre Golf Club in Crans Montana, Switzerland.
Tee Times – Padraig tees off with Alexander Bjork and Danny Willett at 8.20am in the opening round.
D+D Real Czech Masters
Final round of one under par 71 sees Padraig finish in a tie for 62nd place with a total of five under par. He had a poor front nine which he played in two over par but rallied well on the back nine with three birdies in four holes from the 12th. Todd Clements won the event with a 22 under par total!
Padraig shoots a third round of one over par 73 but a poor finish put paid to an otherwise reasonable day. He was out in one under par but added two more birdies on the par five 12th hole and par three 13th hole to get to three under par for the day. But a poor tee shot on the par three 16th hole saw him run up a six and he followed that with another dropped shot at the par four 17th hole. He tees off Sunday at 9.02am local time with Mateusz Gradecki.
Padraig follows up his opening round with a four under par round of 68 which leaves him at five under par, the leaders are at thirteen under par going into the weekend. Starting on the back nine, he got off to a nice start with three birdies in his opening six holes to be out in 33 shots. He picked up another shot at the par five 1st hole where he had a tap in for birdie. A string of pars followed but he did birdie the 9th hole to be three under for the par fives on the day! He tees off in the third round at 9.40am local time with Gavin Green!
Padraig opens his account in the Czech Republic with a one under par round of 71. It was a day that could have gone better, he played quite well but made too many mistakes, a double bogey seven on the par five 12th hole was a killer blow! He has an early tee time Friday and if he can get off to a hot start will make up the ground required to get back in contention. Nine under par was leading after the opening round.
Padraig plays this week at the D+D Czech Masters on the DP World Tour as he chases a place on this years Ryder Cup team. With six captains picks this year, he will be keen to impress Ryder Cup Captain, Luke Donald, as will his fellow countryman, Shane Lowry. The event is being played at the Albatross Golf Resort in Prague in the Czech Republic. It is a par 72 that plays to 7,468 yards.
Tee Times – Padraig tees off in the opening round Thursday 1.20pm local time with Adrian Otaegui and Jifi Zuska.
