Power tied for the lead now, birdied the second. -9.

Speaking of Powers, I saw Mark Power a couple of times over Christmas, he played a 7i over trees from 200 out, and stopped it pretty much dead. I've never been to a pro tournament so that was the best golf shot I've ever seen.

Saw him play in LeeValley Scratch Cup a few years ago, I think it was just before he went to Wake Forest, one of the sweetest iron strikers I have seen.

Power still driving on today. Great putting.

One way to make sure you get shown on TV, go out and lead the tourno by 3 shots, getting a few shots of John Murphy now as well.

Looking a the field at the Asian Tour in Saudi, the appearance fees must be unreal. The prize money at Pebble Beach is nearly double.

Leona Maguire tied for the lead after nine.

Mental that field. I do think golf should be more global though, just not throwing money to do it but I guess that's the way it. Would love to see a major spread through out the world. PGA History will be hard to shift though. You do feel something is going to give. Appearance fees do devalue a tournament in my eyes.

Leading by 5 now. He has to be one of the hottest on tour at the moment, given the start he's made.

He started with FitForGolf about 6/8 weeks ago and he definitely reaping the benefits, Mikey Carroll, another Cork man from Royal and Ancient Mahon GC.

Maguire going great today as well. Pebble beach looks great though. Depressing sitting here.
