“I gave myself a lot of chances and holed some nice putts. This is probably the best I’ve ever putted on poa annua grass, which is nice for a change. “The weather forecast doesn’t look too kind to us, so, yeah, it’ll be interesting. Definitely, especially if that rough gets wet, it’s really thick. So hitting fairways is going to be a premium as are hitting greens. If you want a stress-free the next few days it’s definitely the way to go,” acknowledged Maguire of the challenge ahead, with the weather set to bring rain in cool conditions.

If you’re hitting it good or even if you’re not, you have to make sure you have the confidence that you can lean on the stuff that you have practiced, like your short game.”
