Thomas Bjorn exchanges words with a drunk spectator on the closing hole as play ends in the dark
Defending champion Shane Lowry also carded a one-under 71 to move to four under, while McIlroy’s fellow Holywood golfer Tom McKibbin battled to a three-under 69 to also sit on one shot inside the present cut mark.“The fog obviously delayed things but I’ve never remembered having that many players on 17 and 18. It’s not as if they teed us off in tighter slots or anything.
The Swedish pair enjoyed a one-shot lead over Adrian Meronk, Tommy Fleetwood, Thomas Detry and Masahiro Kawamura, with Tyrrell Hatton on seven under and Jon Rahm and Matt Fitzpatrick another stroke back. “I know it’s easy to say, but it’s like having a bad round and letting it go. This one was a little bit tougher to accept because it wasn’t based on me and someone else made that decision.
Meronk, who received shouts of encouragement in Polish as he completed his round, believes the captain having six wild cards is too many and that one should be held back until after the end of the DP World Tour’s flagship event.
