Friday PGA

Stuart Appleby warmed up well on the range. He focussed mainly on shaping the ball and staying connected and on plane as he released through impact. He started on the 10th hole with a good drive, second shot and pitch to 12 feet and made the putt for birdie to go 3 under. We thought we were off to a good round, but then he hit four hooks off the tee in the next eight holes and dropped four shots to go back to 1 over and in danger of missing the cut. On his back 9 he rallied and worked hard making 2 birdies and 7 pars to shoot 73 and a total of 1 under to make the cut, 7 shots behind the leaders, but with a good 60 something on Saturday he can still be in contention come Sunday.
