backspin.

Anyone see McIlroy putting for eagle and walks of with a double bogey. Crazy stuff. Blood rushing to the head.

Missing the green on the par 3 and bogeying straight after the 2 shot swing was a real killer. He got a little greedy there.

But it's great to see him back playing well again. That 3rd last week and 2nd this week should give him plenty of hunger now to keep battling.

Yeah. It's the consistency that's been lacking and that seems to be coming back to him now. Some magical shots today too. Especially around the green.

Was -15, 2 ahead of Jamie Donaldson. Then birdied the 2nd of round 3. Was 3 in front then, probably should have won

Was 2 up with 8 to play against a relative rookie, definitely one that he left behind.

His 3 putt par on the back 9 was a killer but all in all in his second tourney back after a long break he has competed again and probably should have seen it out. He's trending in the right direction.
Competing without playing his best stuff.

Very positive.

You'd probably have to say that he doesn't have the match stamina yet. Fading a bit in the final rounds where before, he'd be improving or at least putting in a good last round.

Yeah, forgot that round 2 was split over two days. Was behiind going into day three, but that was without completing round 2.

No he was never leading at the conclusion of any round. Was one behind coming in to today.

Not his best over the weekend. No birdie on 13 and the drive on 16 did him today.

Was he leading by 2 or 3 after 2 rounds? I would have expected him to see it out tbh.

He really blew that, too tentative on the back 9. Was 2 shots up on the 12 and just never kicked on. Li a deserving winner.

Henry Ford III

Super effort by Rors regatdless.

sligeach

Not a good tee shot from Li. Good one from Rory. Gives him a slight advantage to make the shot back on the 18th.

fullstop

Needs a wood here surely

Edit...nope, some dig with an iron

HighLine

You gotta wonder with the way he has played this hole would a professional caddy have been more beneficial?

fullstop

WTF is he thinking with that second shot?

Mantis Toboggan

Rory has blitzed the back 9 all week but today he's gone very conservative, like he's waiting for the others to make mistakes. This could back fire big time.

markthespark77

his worst drive of the week their id say. hopefully can get away with a par.

prawnsambo

Li back level with Rory at -21. Meanwhile Hatton goes swimming on the 18th, so that's his challenege gone.

Mantis Toboggan

Missed opportunity there for McIlroy.

Bunker shot wasn't the best.

It was probably the best he could expect. Maybe a yard too long, but that's very fine margins from a bunker shot with very little green to work with.

Seems to have worked, mcllroy dropped a shot on 11.

Li's a bit of a drama queen.

Rory goes in the bunker on the 11th and just shrugs, Li lands on the green leaving a fifteen footer and drops the club.

Probably needs a 65 tomorrow for the win.

All the pressure is on Li. I'd say he could get away with less than that, but it would be a decent score and seems avhievable for him.

Should be entertaining anyway.
