G-Mac  kept on the right side of timekeepers

Sky analyst Robert Lee, who also is a member of the European Tour Board of Directors, was involved in a lengthy conversation with chief referee, Andy McFee after the match on the time McDowell and Thongchai Jaidee were taking to play the 17 holes before McDowell won, 2&1.

After his second victory in three tournaments, McDowell said he noticed 43-year-old Jaidee was beginning to tire mid-round, and the former US Open champion seized on this and deliberately slowed the match.
