Matteo Manassero

[Pablo]

He won this week: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/13108108.stm

[Pablo]

2 European Tour victories before he's even turned 18

Wow, this kid is incredible. The young talent out there at the moment is unreal - McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, the young Japanese lad Ryo Ishikawa, Jason Day and Manassero to name just five.

[Pablo]

In a three way tie (with Donald and Quiros) at the halfway stage at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. Going to be interesting to see how he finishes the tournament.

Obviously he's still only a kid so he's only playing about half the events this year, yet at this rate he's still an absolute shoe-in for the next Ryder Cup team. Legend in the making

Incredible talent. Had a little lean spell lately but that's gonna happen.

Luke Donald by the way ...every ****ing event he's right up there. I think he's had 11 top ten finishes on the spin. Best player in the world at the moment...it's great to see a classic golfer like him doing so well in this age of almighty power hitters. His swing is wonderful - never, ever fails him or changes no matter the situation. Best putter on tour, best short game, and one of the best iron players. He's awesome

Yep, he's the man to beat right now. Manassero's game is actually pretty similar to his too, doesn't hit it too far, but is extremely accurate and consistent. Two classy European players alright

Also just remembered I slagged Donald off loads prior to the Ryder Cup, and wanted Casey picked instead Take it all back now of course

He's doing a pretty good imitation of me at the minute. 6 over through 6

But Sergio was magnificent last night. A demon with the putter too Luke may be my fave Brit but Sergio will always be the king for me.

[Pablo]

Going to be a very interesting final round now: Donald and Manassero now in a two way tie for the lead. Lovely stuff

[Pablo]

Oh and Westwood waiting in the wings, now just 2 shots back

[Shaggy]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke!

[Assassin]

He wasnt playing so well, but he ground out the result. I felt a little sorry for Westy, just a little too much action on his pitch shot

One of them needs to win the Open this year, No 1 is a bit hollow without majors imo
