Graeme McDowell

Just when he needed it, after six missed cuts in nine starts this year, Graeme McDowell has finally found the decent round that could turn his season around.

That it came at the DDF Irish Open will have made the Portrush star’s second-round, five-under-par 67 at Mount Juliet all the sweeter, ushering him safely into the weekend.
