Back. Shot safely on the green, but a long way from the hole. Still trickling back shows you how much slope is in the green from the right side. And now live zach johnson playing 3rd for the u. S. Team. He too trying to make amend for a bad drive put dufner in the higher rough. Zachs got 127 yards. Starting out right trying to draw back, but its not drawing here. And rides the slope. But the problem is just coming down that hill it gets running away from the hole. Certainly the better birdie opportunity. So zach johnson and jason dufner a little bit of a charge into their match. The last few holes getting it all square. Internationals trying to rally. They lead in three matches in the foursome session. Stay with us. Well be right back. I am today by luck. I put in the hours and built a strong reputation in the industry. I set goals and worked hard to meet them. Ive made my success happen. So when it comes to my investments, im supposed to just hand it over to a broker and back away . T
It could sneak just left, but it cant be much. Just a little at the end. So a half there and day and delaet remain 2 up. Back at the par 5, 5th, internationals have already made their birdie. This the third for kuchar and the u. S. And tiger going to have to make that to have it. Pretty hard to leave it short. Leaves tiger a very quick ticklish putt. To 6. This is a moment ago when stricker got that shot close and the fans are chanting for steve. For now bill haas has his putt for birdie to win the hole. And it would be the First American lead this afternoon. Take a 1 up lead to 6. That bill haas has been playing great today. Lets go back to 5. This is tiger crouching over this birdie putt to have the hole. He has looked at this one from every conceivable angle too. The light tends to be a magnet drawing the ball toward it, which is to his left. Just have to worry about hitting it firmly, just has to make it. So he can take a little of the break out of it. Surprising miss there. Thats

Shane Lowry shot four birdies and two bogeys
Shane Lowry was the best of the Irish contingent at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic after a two under par round of 70.
The Offaly man s card featured four birdies, including consecutive birdies on 17 and 18, and two bogeys, and he sits six shots off the lead held by South Africa’s Richard Sterne.
Sterne is a six-time winner on the European Tour but has not tasted victory since 2013 and missed the majority of last season after wrist surgery. It s always good to get off to a good start, the 39-year-old said after a round containing nine birdies and a solitary bogey.
“Obviously my focus, it’s a little bit different than it was with family and getting married and having kids and stuff.
“But that doesn’t mean that I’m not a competitor. I still love to compete. I love to practice, try to get better and that’s what I try to do all the time.
“So it’s nice to see rounds like one today, because it shows that I’m putting some good work in there and just got to keep doing more of that.”

(Reuters) – South Africa’s Richard Sterne carded a 64 in the first round of the Dubai Desert Classic to finish at eight under for a one-shot lead at the Emirates Golf Club on Thursday.
