Round 2 Highlights | acciona Open de Espana

Into a share of second alongside this man right now, John Rahm, finished Birdie Birdie yesterday for that round of 68, which you felt was important and once again. Second shot there at 10, keeping himself right in the mix. Opening shot of the day that was for Ron started on 10. This is at 15. Very nice. And then made the turn set up. What 12 feet for Eagle at the 4th? And we'd roll that one in yesterday. You'd be happy with a 75 or better after the preparation he had welcoming their first daughter earlier this week. He and Kelly got in on Wednesday in that went to Birdie at the 7th. And look at the start from Rikuro Hoshino. Unbelievable golf from the Japanese out there five under on his first night in the back nine. Here's Jodine. Getting a little bit fancy at the 4th. Nice work there from the Englishman. One of two Eagles in his round today. And here is our leader in the dappled sunlight. 9 under can he get to the figures? This has been an extraordinary performance so far. Slightly upheld this for Hidalgo. Well, it's not the birdie, but it's a good par three and it is just a magnificent 36 holes for the young Spaniard. He said after his round yesterday, it's been a long time since he putted that well. The constant. Oh, what a shot. Having player there and the surprising Shane's voice when you say you want me to hit 9. Now Fleetwood. Come on baby. Tell me. What are three from the trees? And you have to say. There is golfing gods. It's just they just left it in delay to the next. You start hitting shots like that. Your confidence goes to zero. Oh hello. Well, that one was from the ridiculous to the sublime. How about that? No. Already put. Hey, well done terrible. Now a little belly wedge coming up halfway up the equator. I think, yeah, there you go. And well, magic magic. Great choice. This day could turn really. The wrong direction for Arnouse. Baby, how about some of your day round here? That could have been anything. Pooj on the 9th, his knife as well. Teed off on one. Can you get dialed in? Yes he can. Yes he can. Birdie putt ahead from Richie Ramsey here back to level bar with that nicely done. I can peel. It's a reasonable chance at 8. Can we convert at 9? Yes you can. Eagle power birdie to fence the 9th. Stay stay, there's a little rich there. That's a great shot and that he'd be very relieved to see that because so far today his wedge players been wild. Well, that was so deep down in lush grass. And that is quite astonishing. That shot of the day coming right at the end from two. Well, that is world class and more. That's probably going to go to two over so there's still hope. Yeah, I'd say probably sound given the fact the winds got up as it has and it's tricky I'd say two is safe right now. Little less enjoyment for here from Campo. Open over the top of that tree that's been knocked over by the wind at some point and what a recovery that is. Commitment wasn't it? Just total commitment to the shot. I certainly look like it from our angle originally to 17 by a stair. Plus 4. Birdie birdie finish for the young Spaniard. He'll be here for the weekend. A hole in one. Well, that's excellent. Gives himself a great chance. Fitzpatrick could get relief if he wanted to. Stances in the ground under repair, but with the preferred lies no need. Flags in that front right corner has to play left of it. Almost perfection, but still 9 out of 10. And not much scar tissue from that distance. Mark this become harder as you get older. Now Victor Perez. Beautiful great two back to level park. Ideally, you're just trying to two putt here highly unlikely to make this. Golf's a game of surprises. Oh, it went back left at the end. Goodness me back to 17 on house after that beautiful T shot. That's for Birdie. Arnos. Four under very good. No, this one if you're watching his I'm playing the back nine cuts that are going up when he won. In his home country of Japan, when we were there for the Asian swing, look at this. That was 17 with that beautiful car for a hole in one. Gary needs another save here at 3. Oh, well done, well done. Needed that dropped a few. Third shot having a great day. Oh, that's so beautifully played so beautifully played that was so difficult. They almost had to cut that in against the ground and to maneuver a 20 yard bunker shot that is sheer class. Two over as we speak, it looks like staying there. Oh, and there's no mistake there. There is absolutely no mistake there. Magnificent final arm shot for Fitzpatrick. Robinson Thompson not seen him all day. Birdie putt to two under very good. Two in a row as well. OK, tell me one more, please. Get a shot closer to the lead. Good pace. Oh. And I agree with Jay that should have come right to left and it didn't move. So he will stay in the packet minus for a share of 7th at the moment. Second rounds of 69. This a mere formality. You'd like to think for Shane Lowry. Great. Polar opposite to yesterday. Not a single birdie. In the opening round of four over part five under part finishes in the red through 36. Shane a tale of two rounds. I'm going to call it yesterday. No birdies today. Five birdies, no bogeys. Talk about today's round for us. Yeah, I like yesterday I was tough and. You know, I felt like I played OK, but I just couldn't make a birdie. You know, it's hard to hit greens out there and I just kind of went through the motions. You know, I've been I've been on the road a lot lately and I think he was getting to me yesterday a little bit. And, you know, I relaxed a little bit today and kind of went out there and played freely. And yeah, thankfully, it's a good day to make the weekend. You know, I don't ever like missing cuts. So, you know, I went out there and tried my hardest. And thankfully, it's a good day. Was there anything technically do you think different today? Or was it just the fact that you just kind of enjoyed yourself? It was honestly, I'll be if I've been honest, a dinner with Terrell Hatton last night, I probably had a we had a couple too many glasses of wine. So maybe that that made me play a bit a bit freer today. And I kind of went out and just played carefree. And now this is a funny old game. And yeah, on to the weekend. What was the test like out there today? You said it was a really good test yesterday with the wind. How different was it out there? It was still pretty windy today and it was still difficult. You know, I didn't hit many fairways out there. And, you know, I was just trying all along to make pars and make the Albert, you know, on the par fives that were playing easy. And but yeah, it's a good test of golf. Look, it's old school golf. You kind of need to, you know, you need to shape your ball and you need to hit the ball in play and small greens. And it's kind of refreshing to play that as well. Great round, Shane. Good luck. Thank you.
