1 00:00:06,667 --> 00:00:10,547 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Weekend Sport podcast with Jason Vine 2 00:00:10,707 --> 00:00:13,667 Speaker 1: from News Talks, B and Eagle. 3 00:00:13,747 --> 00:00:16,427 Speaker 2: On the last hole, has kiwe golfer Daniel Hillier four 4 00:00:16,467 --> 00:00:19,627 Speaker 2: strokes off the lead after three rounds of the season 5 00:00:19,747 --> 00:00:23,067 Speaker 2: ending deep World Tour Championship in Dubai and still with 6 00:00:23,147 --> 00:00:26,427 Speaker 2: a PGA Tour card in his sights. Hillia fired and 7 00:00:26,467 --> 00:00:29,707 Speaker 2: even past seventy two in his third round. He's nine 8 00:00:29,787 --> 00:00:33,627 Speaker 2: under for the tournament and in seventeenth place. Let's bring 9 00:00:33,627 --> 00:00:37,027 Speaker 2: in national coach with Golf New Zealand, Jay Carter, who's 10 00:00:37,267 --> 00:00:41,507 Speaker 2: worked extensively with Daniel Hillier in recent years. Jay, thanks 11 00:00:41,507 --> 00:00:44,747 Speaker 2: for joining us. How big was that eagle for Dan 12 00:00:44,827 --> 00:00:47,147 Speaker 2: Hillier to finish his round on eighteen that way? 13 00:00:47,907 --> 00:00:50,947 Speaker 3: Mate? It was huge both from a performance point of view, 14 00:00:50,987 --> 00:00:53,027 Speaker 3: like two shots is obviously massive, but I think just 15 00:00:53,067 --> 00:00:57,107 Speaker 3: from a conference point of view getting that two further 16 00:00:57,147 --> 00:00:58,667 Speaker 3: shots up because he had a bit of a rough 17 00:00:59,427 --> 00:01:01,707 Speaker 3: first few holes, so I think just coming back it'll 18 00:01:01,747 --> 00:01:02,867 Speaker 3: be a nice way to go to sleep. 19 00:01:03,947 --> 00:01:08,427 Speaker 2: How do you think he will evaluate his eighteen holes? 20 00:01:09,547 --> 00:01:11,827 Speaker 3: It's a really good question. I mean it's a tough one. 21 00:01:11,907 --> 00:01:17,307 Speaker 3: Imagine you hosting a radio show the best broadcaster of 22 00:01:17,347 --> 00:01:19,987 Speaker 3: all time, and he you know, you know you're going 23 00:01:20,067 --> 00:01:22,707 Speaker 3: to be judged by him. So playing with Rory while 24 00:01:22,747 --> 00:01:25,027 Speaker 3: it was it would be awesome and what an experience. 25 00:01:25,507 --> 00:01:27,827 Speaker 3: It'd be a tough time to have to play with Rory. 26 00:01:29,027 --> 00:01:30,947 Speaker 3: You've got all the extra pressure that comes with him, 27 00:01:32,147 --> 00:01:35,507 Speaker 3: your awareness of him, you're you know, I guess you're 28 00:01:35,547 --> 00:01:38,067 Speaker 3: being judged. So all of that stuff would have been 29 00:01:38,067 --> 00:01:41,027 Speaker 3: bloody tough. I reckon. So I think just that start 30 00:01:41,187 --> 00:01:43,387 Speaker 3: probably threw him a little bit. He had a really 31 00:01:43,387 --> 00:01:45,747 Speaker 3: tough lie on the second hole. He had hit it 32 00:01:45,787 --> 00:01:47,027 Speaker 3: in the left rough and got a bit of a 33 00:01:47,027 --> 00:01:50,667 Speaker 3: flyer over the green, and so probably just didn't didn't 34 00:01:50,707 --> 00:01:52,707 Speaker 3: feel the nerves, maybe as quickly as he might like. 35 00:01:52,787 --> 00:01:54,827 Speaker 3: But one thing I would say about Dan, and he's 36 00:01:54,867 --> 00:01:58,307 Speaker 3: got a history of bouncing back, so I don't think 37 00:01:58,347 --> 00:02:00,347 Speaker 3: it'll put him off massively. I think it'll make him 38 00:02:00,387 --> 00:02:01,867 Speaker 3: a little bit more determined for tomorrow. 39 00:02:02,507 --> 00:02:04,707 Speaker 2: It's great analogy. If you ja, if Mike Hoskin was 40 00:02:04,707 --> 00:02:06,987 Speaker 2: sitting across from me, I'd be nervous as well. I 41 00:02:07,027 --> 00:02:09,387 Speaker 2: think I'd be very nervous as he would have been. 42 00:02:09,387 --> 00:02:14,387 Speaker 2: On sure with Rory McElroy and all the increased attention 43 00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:16,747 Speaker 2: on the two of them. He would have been pleased. 44 00:02:16,747 --> 00:02:18,947 Speaker 2: THO wouldn't And you talk about bouncing back three bogies 45 00:02:18,947 --> 00:02:22,707 Speaker 2: and four holes between three and six. How happy will 46 00:02:22,707 --> 00:02:24,267 Speaker 2: he have been to be able to steady himself and 47 00:02:24,307 --> 00:02:26,667 Speaker 2: pretty much play par golf from there on. 48 00:02:28,107 --> 00:02:30,307 Speaker 3: Yeah, he played pretty solidly and there's some opportunities on 49 00:02:30,347 --> 00:02:32,707 Speaker 3: that course, but it is one of those courses where 50 00:02:32,707 --> 00:02:36,947 Speaker 3: if you get out of position, you're battling from the 51 00:02:36,987 --> 00:02:38,547 Speaker 3: get go. It's long. I mean, Dan's one of the 52 00:02:38,547 --> 00:02:42,187 Speaker 3: longest drivers on tour. He's pretty impressive ball striking this week. 53 00:02:42,227 --> 00:02:45,547 Speaker 3: Even as ball striking, you know, he's one of the 54 00:02:45,587 --> 00:02:47,627 Speaker 3: longest and the most accurate out there off the team, 55 00:02:47,707 --> 00:02:50,427 Speaker 3: So that stands them in goodstead. Yesterday I think he 56 00:02:50,507 --> 00:02:52,747 Speaker 3: probably just I mean the first two days obviously he 57 00:02:52,787 --> 00:02:54,947 Speaker 3: played great, and then yesterday probably just didn't hit it 58 00:02:55,547 --> 00:02:57,467 Speaker 3: quite close enough. Still had a lot of greens, but 59 00:02:57,587 --> 00:03:00,307 Speaker 3: probably just slightly out of position from time to time. 60 00:03:00,827 --> 00:03:03,187 Speaker 3: But I mean, what a good day to do because 61 00:03:03,187 --> 00:03:04,827 Speaker 3: he's still got another chance and he's still got another 62 00:03:04,867 --> 00:03:06,187 Speaker 3: crack at that PJA Tour card. 63 00:03:06,987 --> 00:03:09,187 Speaker 2: Absolutely, we'll talk about that in a sec having had 64 00:03:09,187 --> 00:03:12,387 Speaker 2: those bogies. He gets to six and he's he's had 65 00:03:12,387 --> 00:03:15,227 Speaker 2: three bogies. As I say, in four holes, would he 66 00:03:15,307 --> 00:03:18,347 Speaker 2: have been more cautious? Would he have been, you know, 67 00:03:18,867 --> 00:03:23,467 Speaker 2: less likely to take risks to chase birdies from there? 68 00:03:24,227 --> 00:03:27,867 Speaker 3: I wouldn't think his game plan would change massively. Those 69 00:03:27,947 --> 00:03:30,307 Speaker 3: courses are set up so tough. That's probably one thing 70 00:03:30,467 --> 00:03:34,427 Speaker 3: that I didn't even appreciate. I went over with Than 71 00:03:35,027 --> 00:03:37,987 Speaker 3: and Kazuma to the Irish Open and watching it on TV, 72 00:03:38,027 --> 00:03:40,267 Speaker 3: it looks quite easy, but when you see it live, man, 73 00:03:40,347 --> 00:03:43,227 Speaker 3: they set up so tough, so your sort of your 74 00:03:43,227 --> 00:03:45,147 Speaker 3: hands forced a little bit. In terms of strategy, you 75 00:03:45,187 --> 00:03:47,187 Speaker 3: can't really be more aggressive because you can just come 76 00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:49,987 Speaker 3: up stuck so quickly. So I suspect this strategy would 77 00:03:50,027 --> 00:03:52,547 Speaker 3: have changed. She's got an awesome caddy on the bag 78 00:03:52,587 --> 00:03:56,067 Speaker 3: and Henry. Henry would have kept him pretty level headed 79 00:03:56,587 --> 00:03:59,267 Speaker 3: and just you know, going back to that stick to 80 00:03:59,267 --> 00:04:05,227 Speaker 3: your process. Golf's the game of well, I wouldn't say luck, 81 00:04:05,347 --> 00:04:08,067 Speaker 3: but you know, you positive and negative variance, and so 82 00:04:08,187 --> 00:04:10,427 Speaker 3: sometimes you had a shot and you push it, but 83 00:04:10,427 --> 00:04:11,747 Speaker 3: the pen happens to be on the right and it 84 00:04:11,787 --> 00:04:13,627 Speaker 3: goes close. And sometimes you pull it and depends on 85 00:04:13,627 --> 00:04:15,787 Speaker 3: the left and it goes close. So I think you're 86 00:04:15,947 --> 00:04:17,747 Speaker 3: just even in those days. You just got to be 87 00:04:17,787 --> 00:04:20,907 Speaker 3: patient and that variance will working towards your favor at 88 00:04:20,907 --> 00:04:21,307 Speaker 3: some point. 89 00:04:22,067 --> 00:04:25,147 Speaker 2: This is a course where there are obviously birdies out there. 90 00:04:25,147 --> 00:04:28,427 Speaker 2: It's low scoring for those obviously who are doing well there. 91 00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:30,627 Speaker 2: And Dan, you know, five under in the first round, 92 00:04:30,627 --> 00:04:32,987 Speaker 2: four under in a second round. There are birdies out 93 00:04:33,027 --> 00:04:36,507 Speaker 2: there for him. What does he need to do especially 94 00:04:36,547 --> 00:04:39,747 Speaker 2: well in the fourth round to challenge for a top 95 00:04:39,787 --> 00:04:40,947 Speaker 2: ten finish in this tournament. 96 00:04:42,067 --> 00:04:44,947 Speaker 3: Well, he's one of the longest and most acurosity, so 97 00:04:44,947 --> 00:04:47,787 Speaker 3: if he can nail that combination and then make some 98 00:04:47,867 --> 00:04:50,707 Speaker 3: good decisions and there that's the last round of it. 99 00:04:50,747 --> 00:04:52,467 Speaker 3: There's so much to play for in this round. For 100 00:04:52,507 --> 00:04:55,227 Speaker 3: a lot of those guys that you know, the top 101 00:04:55,267 --> 00:04:57,827 Speaker 3: ten who aren't already exempt to get a PGA too 102 00:04:57,827 --> 00:05:00,187 Speaker 3: account on the US too next year, that's just massive 103 00:05:00,787 --> 00:05:02,707 Speaker 3: and they're all striving for that. So there'll be guys 104 00:05:02,787 --> 00:05:04,827 Speaker 3: that won't handle that particularly well, and there'll be guys 105 00:05:04,867 --> 00:05:07,187 Speaker 3: that do handle it particularly well. One of the guys 106 00:05:07,187 --> 00:05:10,507 Speaker 3: that was a headed Dan on the list Jordan Smith 107 00:05:10,507 --> 00:05:12,267 Speaker 3: didn't have a great first two rounds, but then he 108 00:05:12,267 --> 00:05:16,747 Speaker 3: shot eight under sixty four yesterday, So there's going to 109 00:05:16,827 --> 00:05:18,627 Speaker 3: be some jost thing for positions. So I think Dan's 110 00:05:18,667 --> 00:05:21,707 Speaker 3: got to probably lean on Henry a bit, stay patient. 111 00:05:21,707 --> 00:05:24,907 Speaker 3: He's good enough. I've had about three or four coaches 112 00:05:24,947 --> 00:05:27,707 Speaker 3: who work on tour reach out and just talk how 113 00:05:27,747 --> 00:05:31,507 Speaker 3: impressive Dan is as both of the young men but 114 00:05:31,547 --> 00:05:34,147 Speaker 3: also as a golfer and as a ball striker, and 115 00:05:34,187 --> 00:05:36,067 Speaker 3: how impressive he's been at the back half of the year. 116 00:05:36,147 --> 00:05:37,987 Speaker 3: So he's got a lot of people rooting for him 117 00:05:38,027 --> 00:05:38,467 Speaker 3: over there. 118 00:05:38,827 --> 00:05:42,067 Speaker 2: So as you've outlined the PGA Tour card, he has 119 00:05:42,067 --> 00:05:44,267 Speaker 2: to finish in the I think it's is it the 120 00:05:44,267 --> 00:05:46,907 Speaker 2: top ten, top twelve, or certainly up near the top 121 00:05:46,947 --> 00:05:50,547 Speaker 2: of the non exempt golfers. So how tempting would it 122 00:05:50,587 --> 00:05:53,347 Speaker 2: be for him to keep an eye on others? And 123 00:05:52,987 --> 00:05:56,827 Speaker 2: how unhelpful might there be if he keeps eyes on 124 00:05:56,907 --> 00:06:00,227 Speaker 2: other golfers and how they're going and doesn't give full 125 00:06:00,267 --> 00:06:01,307 Speaker 2: focus to his own game. 126 00:06:02,347 --> 00:06:04,467 Speaker 3: Yeah, it wouldn't be helpful at all. And I think 127 00:06:04,467 --> 00:06:07,107 Speaker 3: the thing is it's so complex that I don't think 128 00:06:07,107 --> 00:06:08,907 Speaker 3: he'll be able He wouldn't be able to keep up. 129 00:06:09,027 --> 00:06:12,147 Speaker 3: He could see the leaderboards, but there's probably about five 130 00:06:12,227 --> 00:06:16,827 Speaker 3: or six guys jostling for position. That's not simply where 131 00:06:16,827 --> 00:06:19,187 Speaker 3: you finish, it's where you finish relative to other people. 132 00:06:19,747 --> 00:06:23,627 Speaker 3: So it's probably the good thing is it's probably too complicate. 133 00:06:23,667 --> 00:06:25,787 Speaker 3: It actually be trying to work out while you're out there, 134 00:06:25,947 --> 00:06:28,307 Speaker 3: and he won't have enough access to that. He'll see leaderboards, 135 00:06:28,307 --> 00:06:33,267 Speaker 3: but the leaderboard, generally speaking, shows the top couple of pages, 136 00:06:33,347 --> 00:06:35,307 Speaker 3: and you can't really know what's going on behind that, 137 00:06:35,867 --> 00:06:37,707 Speaker 3: and you don't really want to be distracted. 138 00:06:37,267 --> 00:06:39,587 Speaker 2: By it, absolutely no, I know. You just just focus 139 00:06:39,627 --> 00:06:42,307 Speaker 2: on your own game, don't you. How big would it 140 00:06:42,307 --> 00:06:45,787 Speaker 2: be if he was able to gain himself a PGA 141 00:06:45,907 --> 00:06:47,067 Speaker 2: Tour card. 142 00:06:47,627 --> 00:06:50,547 Speaker 3: It'd be huge because I think the PGA Tour would 143 00:06:50,627 --> 00:06:53,467 Speaker 3: suit Dan really well, like he's an impressive ball striker, 144 00:06:54,267 --> 00:06:58,947 Speaker 3: controls his flight really well, HiT's it long. Obviously the 145 00:06:59,587 --> 00:07:01,867 Speaker 3: best players in the world are probably playing on that tour, 146 00:07:01,907 --> 00:07:04,147 Speaker 3: which is why they now give those ten cards away. 147 00:07:04,747 --> 00:07:07,027 Speaker 3: He'd be back with Foxy, who I know. Those two 148 00:07:07,067 --> 00:07:08,747 Speaker 3: get on really well and spend a lot of time together, 149 00:07:08,787 --> 00:07:10,547 Speaker 3: and it'd be cool for golf in New Zealand to go. 150 00:07:11,227 --> 00:07:14,067 Speaker 3: You know, imagine having two players on the PGA Tour. 151 00:07:14,827 --> 00:07:16,147 Speaker 3: Haven't had that for a while. And then we've got 152 00:07:16,187 --> 00:07:19,867 Speaker 3: Kazuma on the DP Tour, and we've got some Fio 153 00:07:19,907 --> 00:07:21,627 Speaker 3: and a Jew's just spent a year on the LPGA 154 00:07:21,707 --> 00:07:24,187 Speaker 3: this year with Lydia. We've got a couple of girls 155 00:07:24,187 --> 00:07:27,067 Speaker 3: on the Ladies European Tour, my Mirka Kobori, Kazuma's sister, 156 00:07:27,307 --> 00:07:30,187 Speaker 3: and Amelia Garvey. So it's pretty cool for New Zealand, 157 00:07:30,267 --> 00:07:32,867 Speaker 3: not just obviously Dan giving a PGA Tour card, but 158 00:07:33,067 --> 00:07:35,347 Speaker 3: that that would be I think on the cake for sure. 159 00:07:35,827 --> 00:07:37,947 Speaker 2: And just back to the mental side of the game, Jay, 160 00:07:38,027 --> 00:07:39,827 Speaker 2: you know, you can, you can coach a player as 161 00:07:39,907 --> 00:07:41,427 Speaker 2: much as you like in terms of the way they 162 00:07:41,507 --> 00:07:44,747 Speaker 2: drive the ball, the way they part everything in between, 163 00:07:44,947 --> 00:07:49,227 Speaker 2: but how much of it is mental On the biggest 164 00:07:49,227 --> 00:07:52,587 Speaker 2: stage like this, it's massive. 165 00:07:53,187 --> 00:07:55,107 Speaker 3: Dan does a great job in that space too, Like 166 00:07:55,147 --> 00:07:59,067 Speaker 3: I said before, like his ability to bounce back is huge. 167 00:07:59,107 --> 00:08:00,827 Speaker 3: I remember I think his last turnament as an amateur, 168 00:08:00,867 --> 00:08:02,867 Speaker 3: he had a shock run job like eighty three in 169 00:08:02,907 --> 00:08:05,587 Speaker 3: the second round, I mean sixty five or sixty six. 170 00:08:05,627 --> 00:08:07,147 Speaker 3: The next day so's what even is that he can 171 00:08:07,227 --> 00:08:11,307 Speaker 3: do it. His body language has also It's something I 172 00:08:11,387 --> 00:08:14,067 Speaker 3: use coaching our younger players now. They use videos and 173 00:08:14,547 --> 00:08:16,347 Speaker 3: photos of Dan. If you look at him when he's 174 00:08:16,387 --> 00:08:19,467 Speaker 3: doing an interview, he's always like in a Superman pos 175 00:08:19,547 --> 00:08:21,147 Speaker 3: His chest is always up and out, his eyes are 176 00:08:21,147 --> 00:08:23,467 Speaker 3: always up. So even little things like that, whether that's 177 00:08:23,467 --> 00:08:26,347 Speaker 3: intentional or not, I think the body language can lead 178 00:08:26,387 --> 00:08:28,947 Speaker 3: to some of that positive reinforcement, and he does a 179 00:08:28,947 --> 00:08:32,187 Speaker 3: great job of that. If it was anyone, if you 180 00:08:32,187 --> 00:08:34,707 Speaker 3: want anyone playing in the final round for your life, 181 00:08:35,547 --> 00:08:37,667 Speaker 3: Jase from New Zealand, you Dan, Hillary would be well 182 00:08:37,747 --> 00:08:38,187 Speaker 3: up there. 183 00:08:38,707 --> 00:08:40,667 Speaker 2: Great stuff. Well, can't wait to see how it goes 184 00:08:40,707 --> 00:08:43,027 Speaker 2: tonight for him in a really big round. In the 185 00:08:43,027 --> 00:08:45,547 Speaker 2: context of his career. Just I mean worst case scenario. 186 00:08:45,747 --> 00:08:47,707 Speaker 2: If he doesn't get the PGA to a card, he's 187 00:08:47,747 --> 00:08:50,307 Speaker 2: back on the DP world too next year again, isn't 188 00:08:50,347 --> 00:08:52,307 Speaker 2: he That wouldn't be the worst possible outcome. 189 00:08:53,147 --> 00:08:56,227 Speaker 3: No, it'd be awesome. He'll get into all the roll 190 00:08:56,267 --> 00:08:59,307 Speaker 3: ex events. He'll be one of the big dogs. He 191 00:08:59,427 --> 00:09:01,107 Speaker 3: knows that he can do it because he was close 192 00:09:01,227 --> 00:09:04,587 Speaker 3: last year. If he doesn't get it, he's close again 193 00:09:04,667 --> 00:09:07,227 Speaker 3: this year, so it'll be enough either for him to go. 194 00:09:08,467 --> 00:09:10,107 Speaker 3: I can do it and he loves it out here too. 195 00:09:11,147 --> 00:09:12,947 Speaker 2: Jay, great to chat to you, mate, Thanks so much 196 00:09:12,987 --> 00:09:14,747 Speaker 2: for giving us the insight. As I say, can't wait 197 00:09:14,787 --> 00:09:16,507 Speaker 2: to see how Dan goes in the fourth round tonight. 198 00:09:16,507 --> 00:09:17,627 Speaker 2: Thanks for taking out call. 199 00:09:18,187 --> 00:09:19,667 Speaker 3: No excuse mate, no thank you mate. 200 00:09:19,707 --> 00:09:22,067 Speaker 2: That is Jake Carter, our national coach with Golf New 201 00:09:22,107 --> 00:09:25,467 Speaker 2: Zealand and a coach who's worked very closely with Daniel 202 00:09:25,507 --> 00:09:28,627 Speaker 2: Hilly are down the years. So nine under the card. 203 00:09:28,707 --> 00:09:31,747 Speaker 2: That's how we started the day. I was keeping eyes 204 00:09:31,787 --> 00:09:34,347 Speaker 2: on Dan Hilly last night watching him and he did 205 00:09:34,387 --> 00:09:37,267 Speaker 2: have some early struggles, to say, three bogies in the 206 00:09:37,267 --> 00:09:40,227 Speaker 2: space of four holes early in his round, but then 207 00:09:40,267 --> 00:09:42,187 Speaker 2: he came right and I woke up this morning. I 208 00:09:42,187 --> 00:09:43,827 Speaker 2: didn't quite make it through to the end of his 209 00:09:43,947 --> 00:09:48,227 Speaker 2: round live and to find him having eagled the eighteenth. 210 00:09:48,307 --> 00:09:50,027 Speaker 2: What a boost for him, and as Jay said, what 211 00:09:50,067 --> 00:09:52,307 Speaker 2: a good way to go to sleep. So you're basically 212 00:09:52,427 --> 00:09:55,147 Speaker 2: nine under, you're only four shots back from the lead. 213 00:09:55,787 --> 00:09:58,867 Speaker 2: When he started his third Randy was only three shots 214 00:09:58,907 --> 00:10:00,187 Speaker 2: back from the lead. He was nine under and the 215 00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:03,827 Speaker 2: leaders were at twelve so not a lot has changed, really, 216 00:10:04,867 --> 00:10:13,787 Speaker 2: and this equation around which PGA Tour card could be 217 00:10:13,867 --> 00:10:17,027 Speaker 2: his is really out of his hands. He can't keep 218 00:10:17,067 --> 00:10:20,027 Speaker 2: eyes on what others are doing. He can't see where 219 00:10:20,067 --> 00:10:22,507 Speaker 2: he is relative to the others who are also seeking 220 00:10:22,547 --> 00:10:27,467 Speaker 2: that elusive and yet so valuable PGA Tour card. All 221 00:10:27,547 --> 00:10:29,987 Speaker 2: he can do, Dan Hilly is what he always does. 222 00:10:30,107 --> 00:10:33,147 Speaker 2: It's play the best eighteen holes he can. That's it, 223 00:10:33,347 --> 00:10:35,627 Speaker 2: simple as that, and he's shown on this course that 224 00:10:35,667 --> 00:10:38,067 Speaker 2: he's capable of doing it. Five under in the first round, 225 00:10:38,067 --> 00:10:42,187 Speaker 2: four under in the second, another eighteen holes and who 226 00:10:42,227 --> 00:10:45,307 Speaker 2: knows where he might turn up. Kazumi Kobori is the 227 00:10:45,347 --> 00:10:47,987 Speaker 2: other key we in the field. He is six under. 228 00:10:48,587 --> 00:10:51,427 Speaker 2: Kabori's underway at around six point thirty five tonight in 229 00:10:51,427 --> 00:10:54,747 Speaker 2: New Zealand time. Dan Hilly will go about an hour 230 00:10:54,827 --> 00:10:58,707 Speaker 2: after that. He is seventeenth, but as I say, only 231 00:10:58,747 --> 00:11:04,547 Speaker 2: four shots back from the lead. Rory McElroy and Rasmus 232 00:11:04,827 --> 00:11:09,467 Speaker 2: near Guard Peterson are the joint leaders at thirteen under. 233 00:11:09,707 --> 00:11:12,227 Speaker 2: A bunch of pliers at twelve and eleven under and 234 00:11:12,267 --> 00:11:14,027 Speaker 2: at ten under as well. A yes, a tightly packed 235 00:11:14,027 --> 00:11:18,587 Speaker 2: field well sixteen players from thirteen under down to ten under, 236 00:11:18,947 --> 00:11:22,147 Speaker 2: so it's anybody's tournament. Dan Hillyet tucked in there at 237 00:11:22,387 --> 00:11:23,427 Speaker 2: nine under the card. 238 00:11:24,187 --> 00:11:27,387 Speaker 1: For more from Weekend Sport with Jason Fine, listen live 239 00:11:27,467 --> 00:11:30,787 Speaker 1: to News Talk set B weekends from midday, or follow 240 00:11:30,827 --> 00:11:32,427 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio
