McGinley bemoans ‘monster’ course

THE TERRIBLE twins were not for turning.

Having rocked a boat that seemed to be cruising along peacefully on Thursday with their critical comments about the set-up of the Adare Manor course, neither Darren Clarke nor Paul McGinley changed their tune yesterday though both shot three under par second rounds of 69.

Those who thought McGinley might have regretted describing Adare as “a monster” were to be disappointed. He loved the Trent Jones Senior creation the way it was when he captured the Irish PGA Championship here in 2003 and before it was extended to a massive 7,453 yards. Examples of the hole changes include the 2nd, now 480 yards; the 481 yards 8th and the 631 yards 9th on the way out along with the 457 yards 17th.
