It's a cracker of a sunday round so far. Quiros makes a triple bogey on the par 4 8th, then makes an ace on the par 3 11th. At the start of the day there was a bunch of players within 1 shot of the lead. Tiger started off with two bogies on 2 and 3, struggling with finding fairways and greens.

It's a pity Rory and Tiger didn't get rounds going. Rory still has a bit of a chance though

It was on the golf channel. It'll be replaying all day too.

This was one of the most interesting tournaments I've almost seen in a long time.

Alvaro Quiros is so much fun to watch. He and Seve have a lot in common other than both being from Spain.

The problem with the Golf Channel's European Tour feed was that even when Quiros was in the lead, they seemed more intent on showing Lee Westwood make double bogeys than Quiros hit tee shots on holes like the par-5 13th, and he is the longest hitter on the European Tour. He gets off one green and suddenly shows up in the fairway on his second shot on the next hole, and nobody watching that joke of a telecast had any idea of how he got there.

Then on 18 he hits one so far right it was "almost in the TV compound," according to the sometimes-intelligible commentators. Next thing we know, he's in the fairway about to hit his third shot.

I'm glad Tiger played because I paid more attention. I'm glad Quiros won, and I hope he wins a bunch more.
