Looks like Rory running around here to try get in - if that actually is feasible.

The commentator on Sky saying Rory has been impressive off the tees this week. What? No he hasn't. And he then proceeded a couple of seconds later to miss the fairway on 14, way out far right.

DJIMI TRARORE

If Rory could hit a fairway he'd be 12 shots ahead;mad right on 14

I know the camera does make it look brighter then it is, but it looks like there’s plenty of light left,

FixdePitchmark

Is there 90 mins of sunlight left ? I'm confused with the clocks forward.

It is so refreshing to see a pro run around , hit and go - Rory is just a real golfer. So little bulshit these guys are at.

sligeach

Paul McGinley speaking sense and correcting the early nonsense from the other co-commentator. Rory is 69th out of the 72 players left on his driving for the week. And yet he still leads by 2. If he could sort that out he'd probably be coasting to victory.

sligeach

That's an awful birdie miss by Rory from 3 or 4 feet. Awful! He still leads by 1, but Spaun is a hole behind and have his opportunity to make up the difference.

Radar says someone needs to put him in a headlock if he takes this shot on…..

sligeach

Bhatia 3 putts the par 5 16th, misses birdie from a similar distance to Rory on the last, and he's furious with himself.

HanShotFirst

210yards out he ended up just left of the green

1 shot lead on a par5.

I see what Radar was saying but he played it perfectly.

sligeach

Bhatia's tee shot on 17 looked great, and then the spin kicked in and he's lucky it didn't spin back into the water.

FixdePitchmark

Some speed with the six iron in the rough - he played a bail out pull , clever shot , in fact he could have easily made the pin.

DJIMI TRARORE

Terrible chip from rory, only par

sligeach

Another opportunity missed by Rory. He's leaving the door ajar for Spaun. And you never know what'll happen on 17 and 18 with the water in play.

JJ reSpaun in the rough by the 16th in 2. He’ll end up dropping in the hole yet….

sligeach

Spaun got a lucky break with his second on 16. Could have been in the long rough, but he has a similar 3rd shot to what Rory had.

sligeach

Did you see that? Smalley ran the plank on 17 on the perimeter of the green, thought it might cling on, but eventually the ball trickled into the water. Sick.

It's the 16th and it jumped out of the rough, so he was lucky.

And Spaun has a tap in birdie after his 3rd shot. That's what Rory should have done.

Hit it!

Some knob shouts after fluffy putt

All square now

sligeach

Stop making excuses commentators, the grass didn't interfere with the birdie putt of Rory. It just wasn't a good effort.

sligeach

Sorry, not sorry, but I hope Spaun hits it into the water on 17. 😐

sligeach

Very good tee shot by Rory on 18th. You just never know with him. Spaun has a very tricky up and down putt on 17.

Kiith

Awful 2nd shot from Rory there. Could well lose him the tournament.

HanShotFirst

181 yards 8iron into 18. Wrong club.

Spaun par on 17 with a chance to win with a birdie on 18 now.

sligeach

Rory is like Jekyll and Hyde. Excellent shot, followed by a bad shot. Tee shot on 18 great, second shot terrible.

Rory made birdie on 18 the 3 other days, he's got pretty much no chance today. He could even struggle for par he's so far away with this putt.

That's a good effort, he should make par.

Kiith

Decent 3rd, but still further away than he'd like.

sligeach

Spaun has found the pine needles off the tee on 18, hopefully that hinders him.

Kiith

And he makes the putt. All on Spaun now.

Only reason I'm watching this at all is McIlroy. Such good TV.
