The DP World Tour makes its return to Bahrain for the first time in 13 years this week as the International Swing continues with the Bahrain Championship presented by Bapco Energies at Royal Golf Club. Fresh from his runner-up finish at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship last week, Rasmus Højgaard currently lies in fifth place on the International Swing Rankings and will be trying to go one better as he hopes to continue an excellent run of form that includes three top-10s and a worst finish of 26T in his last nine Tour starts. Pablo Larrazábal will also be in the field this week. He’s starting his 20th year as a professional and shows no signs of slowing down as he claimed a tournament-high of 4T in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic two weeks ago. He’ll looking to build on his nine DP World Tour wins this season. Yannik Paul will also fancy his chances this week. The Belgian has had a strong start to the new season as he claimed 4T last week at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship and 8T at the Dubai Invitational two weeks ago. Others to look out for are Edoardo Molinari, Rafa Cabrera Bello and Jordan Smith.

Yeah it’s uh it’s all feel really you you’ve got to judge it putting are going to be difficult because every Green’s exposed out there you’ve also got these massive slopes to contend with and the greens have been slowed down to 10 on the stim that is a wonderful

Shot good view here of the second shut for Smith wind howling off the right hand side here pin on the left about there that’s a nice friendly little bounce wasn’t it in front left today goodness me obviously right back in and then was a short power four this

One but he was firing that one in low hello what a start that is senson is six under for his first eight holes out there today all right back to Rasmus 104 this is where he’s muster nine times out of 10 for Rasmus here we go this might be the comeback [Applause]

Dump well that was in all the way wasn’t it that’s a delightful from Harrison Endicott the Australian got a bad time on this hall yesterday do want do that again that did well you think that pitched in the rough thick rough to start with there endicot is the breeze going to

Blow it yes it is well done so he moves to seven underpar he’s done a very nice little run shows how tough this is long way to go just show 160 got to Club up at least three aiming for that slope down it comes gets that to six or seven feet

Playing with the espers fence and this is Adam blir who has graduated from The Challenge tour as well got an early season Victory hello he didn’t think he’d hold that normally obviously you got downhill uphill that you kind of having to adjust to but with the wind blowing in

Different directions and gusting at different speeds it’s definitely you know the biggest challenge for us guys out there today that look pretty easy from Callum Hill rosno who was in the commentary box yesterday his second shot here perfect t- shot fins right on the front here at this final Hall only seven

On in oh lovely shot so that will put him he’ll tap that one in a little bit of a slope to start with here for Marcel seam flag being attended good for pace and it’s good for line beautiful stuff two birdies in the last three moves him to nicely into two not

Contention but he’s at two under par with a bit of a back stop Beyond it that breeze though after one hop it will stop exactly that good Shot wa he saw a few [Applause] long gas at the 18th 150 to the pin this front pin here today caught that a little fat out of there I think but he’s done incredibly well that’s a fortunate shot let me tell you it’s the kind of shot you used to play

Andrew to the 12th a little par three this is playing 34 yards it was 131 yesterday for a par oh well done a birdie sorry green slopes from left to right that’s pretty much his line or or his where he wants to pitch it that would be he’s done it as well

Beautiful excellent stuff from Harrison Endicott yeah cracking break got it down the left hand side draw a peer of a lie in the Wasteland got a good angle to this right flag he lost the flight on that ball but I can tell you it’s right at it that might

Actually go in John oh oh oh go on Manero from a downhill slope 80 yards to go that came out real low Classy Touch yeah controlled it well quality short it’s the 18th and gerback second shot pin today’s only seven on right at the front of this

Green a little bit further right than that that’ll do that’s a nice shot excellent stuff so should naturally move a little bit from left to right won’t get a great deal of backs spin on this shot I wouldn’t have thought 139 yds still blowing out there oh got great control on that

That’s a brilliant shot there from coot yeah see whether he can take the lead on his own if he does it’s a pleasant finish I’ll tell you oh yes get in there very very finish for around a 70 nine underpart you know everyone out here’s great guys and uh you know the

Standard is awesome so you know playing playing out here on the DP World Tour is um something that I’ve always dreamed of doing and here’s a man you would have played with a little bit last year senson yeah this guy is um you know I remember looking at the scoring averages

Of last this for a 29 not far away was he well it’s a beautiful evening here and the uh the wind does seem to be dying down a little bit we are told by the forecast as it will blow over the weekend again but maybe not quite as hard as it was was

Certainly at one stage today Royal Golf Club has Beed its teeth so coming towards the end of our second round coverage we should get a player of the day shouldn’t we now we’re going to take yeser senson out of it because he’s the obvious choice after

The round of 65 so Richard if you’re not going to go for senson who’s it going to be I’m going to go right down to right down to the cut line I’m going to go down to Jordan Smith very patient today I thought what did he shoot yesterday

74 and things sometimes happen in golf that are really really good for you mostly there’s there’s not brilliant things that happen but he hold his second shot of the 17th and he birded the last the level par to make the cut around a 70 today so I’m going to go for

Him and it’ be interesting to see who Andrew is going to pick because you’ve taken his pick away well yes it was it as I say it’s too obvious so let’s take the obvious out of it I do like that one for the eagle birdie finish so Andrew

I’m going to go Jimmie Donaldson 48 years old twoe shy of his senior debut 68 round there today for Donaldson just the one bogey on his card H that’s a great effort for for a man at his age and I also like that I’m going to go

With Joe gerbach tied for the leag but remember he’s tried for 8 years to get out here on the DP World Tour yes he shot a good round yesterday 65 to be close to the lead but he’s backed it up today in the tricky conditions he shot

Underpar with a birdie birdie finish and he’s got to watch another DP World toour video click here and to subscribe click here
