Play gets under way at 1015pm (ET) tonight. Rory is off with the morning flight at 1105. Martin Kaymer playing with Rory, gave a delightful interview yesterday about his 10 stroke collapse last week in Qatar, in which he stated he of course wanted the win, but to his way of thinking he is better off as a golfer and a person going forward having gone through the experience.
