Oh dear. Kirk can’t make the par putt on 18 coming back … and then he misses the bogey tiddler. It’s not technically a four-putt, because the first was from off the front of the green … but it kind of is, isn’t it? He certainly wears the slightly drained look of someone who was one putt away from equalling major-championship history, and has somehow managed to make a 65 feel like a disappointment. He ends the day at -2 overall … as does last week’s winner at Quail Hollow, Kristoffer Reitan, who also signs for a slightly less dramatic 65 (if making two eagles on the back nine can be considered undramatic, that is).
Justin Rose was the next player after Michael Kim to get stuck in. He carded five birdies on the front nine, at 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9, turning in 30. Another birdie at 13 was instantly cancelled out with bogey on 14, since when he’s been forced to make a series of staunch par savers. But they’ve all gone in. He’s hanging onto his score, and he’s one par away from a 65 that will revive his bid for a second major. To think he needed to make birdie on 9 last night in order to survive the cut … and chipped in for eagle! Rose is -2 overall.
