“I didn’t have to do anything last year apart from a lot of Zoom calls,” Willett added. It was a doubly impressive performance from Willett given his numerous hosting duties, with last year proving far easier due to the absence of spectators because of coronavirus restrictions. I giggled to myself, I think we were 99th on the 16th green last night and then looked up there today and we were fifth. “Today felt like myself (playing), yesterday felt like my brother,” joked Willett, whose 65 gave him a total of six under par, three shots behind halfway leader Hurly Long. Two late birdies meant the former Masters champion eventually signed for an opening 73 and he carried on where he left off on Friday, making eight more birdies and a sole bogey on the ninth, his final hole of the day. Willett was three over par after 12 holes of his first round and feared making an early exit from the event before having to return on Sunday evening to hand the silverware to the winner. Tournament host Danny Willett has designs on presenting the trophy to himself after surging into contention.
His second effort of 76 left him 13 shots off the cut mark of level par. Sharvin was always going to struggle to make the cut after a first round 81. Dunne started his second round solidly, taking the turn on level par after a bogey and a birdie cancelled each other out, only for four dropped shots and another birdie on the back nine to leave him at three over for the day.Ĭaldwell took the turn at two over and there he stayed after two bogeys negated the two shots he did pick up. Above all, though, Gates is still very much the uniquely alluring live wire he broke out as, advising listeners on “Icebox,” “I’m not the one to cross now, I’m not retired from thuggin’.Paul Dunne, Jonathan Caldwell and Cormac Sharvin all missed the cut at the British Masters to end the Irish involvement in the tournament.ĭunne and Caldwell both ended up on seven over in a tie for 137th at the halfway stage after second rounds of 74 and 75 respectively. Across I’m Him are the many sides of Gates, including (but not limited to) the realist (“Facts”) the lover (“Say It Twice,” “Face Down”) the inspirational speaker (“RBS Intro,” “Have You Ever”) the eternally dedicated hustler (“By My Lonely”) the party monster (“What I Like”) the plug (“Push It”) the regretful father (“Betta for You”) and then, simply, the man reflecting on his checkered past (“Walls Talking,” “Funny How”).
In service of this mission, Gates delivers no less than 17 tracks of his signature soul-baring street rap and pain-inspired melodies. Though he’s kept plenty busy since his certified double-platinum debut Islah, its follow-up I’m Him presents the MC with the opportunity to remind even his most dedicated fans exactly why they know who he is. Despite being one of the most prolific rappers of his era, Baton Rouge MC Kevin Gates is largely renowned for a string of eccentric statements about his lifestyle (along with serving jail time for assaulting an audience member at one of his shows).
