Last year GMac started his sensational year at this Wales Open tournament when he won, then went on to win the US Open 2 weeks later at Pebble Beach. It's history now, but he returned much later in the year with the rest of his Ryder Cup teammates and sunk that career defining putt on 17 to beat Hunter Mahan and win the Cup for Europe..
He is in 2nd spot going into play this weekend 67,68 -7, to young Swede Alex Noren 67,67 -8, and of course he goes over the pond to Congressional in 2 weeks to defend that title.
While the chances of GMac repeating last year's run are remote, he does love this 20/20 course at Celtic Manor, he said " I just know I can go low here" so I expect him to be in contention here tomorrow afternoon.
By the way if you haven't seen any of this, you might remember how hard it rained here during the Ryder Cup ( that's why the UK always looks so green), well this week they have been blessed with blue skies and just a slight breeze so far with more in store for today.
