:00:37. > :00:40.We are into the last hour or so of play here on the third round of the
:00:40. > :00:45.BMW PGA Championship, at the richest event on the European Tour
:00:45. > :00:49.and we have been following events throughout the afternoon on BBC One.
:00:49. > :00:52.You will know it if you are joining us we have had a pretty lively
:00:52. > :00:56.exchange of places on the leaderboard. James Morrison was the
:00:56. > :01:06.man who started the day for shot clear of the field. He has dropped
:01:06. > :01:11.like a stone after 28s. No signs of Jane Morrison. Instead it is look
:01:11. > :01:21.McDonald he has a cushion. If you were following us on BBC One --
:01:21. > :01:24.
:01:24. > :01:31.Luke Donald. You will see he had to under par. It is chipping up
:01:31. > :01:35.beautifully. Ernie Els and Paul Lawrie, they are also in contention.
:01:35. > :01:45.Bubbling up nicely and we will share the rest of the afternoon
:01:45. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:52.with Ken Brown and Peter Alliss. PETER ALLISS: The big umbrella

:02:38. > :02:43.a harder bounce. He will have to hit a very load flat hook to get
:02:43. > :02:53.round the corner. Did his best to escape from the clutches of the
:02:53. > :02:59.
:03:00. > :03:04.Peter Lawrie is just off the back left-hand portion of the green, a
:03:04. > :03:09.long chip and run coming. Luke Donald had to take a penalty drop
:03:09. > :03:14.out of the hazard. He is on the green side bunker in three. Could
:03:14. > :03:23.be a change of shot here. Interesting choice of club by Peter
:03:23. > :03:28.Lawrie. A putter, from his percentage shot, giving it a good
:03:28. > :03:38.rapport. Didn't quite get it. Very slow up that hill and a big swing
:03:38. > :03:40.
:03:40. > :03:50.on the left. We used to play those with a 4-iron. Either a wedge or a
:03:50. > :03:54.
:03:54. > :04:01.4-iron. Luke Donald, he he is. gives it a mighty launch. Does it
:04:01. > :04:11.with a relatively simple swing, and it doesn't look as if he generate
:04:11. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:25.enormous power. -- generates. challenging shot here. Way below
:04:25. > :04:33.the height of the green and when the ball land on the green it slips

:04:53. > :05:15.
:05:15. > :05:22.look very spectacular when they limit the damage to one dropped
:05:22. > :05:32.shot. That was an opportunity missed by the Irishman. He teacakes

:05:34. > :05:41.a five there. Drops one to go 8- under -- he also takes a five per.
:05:41. > :05:49.-- there. The myth rows on the 17th he has got a chance to get to 10-
:05:49. > :05:54.under -- with Rose. Wonderful bunker shot down the slope. He has
:05:54. > :06:00.played two or three bunkers, and the ball hasn't been more than
:06:00. > :06:07.three feet from the hole after he has played. Just a wonderful touch.
:06:07. > :06:12.I enjoy watching him play enormously. He is not a smash, bang,
:06:12. > :06:22.wallop fellow. I love the professionalism of his play. One

:10:10. > :10:20.tiptoeing round the corner, a few stragglers. Must have fallen asleep
:10:20. > :10:32.
:10:32. > :10:36.probably. Where did they go? Just their earlier to see the new
:10:36. > :10:39.landing area. This is what he thought of it. Of all the changes
:10:39. > :10:44.made to the West Course the 18th has been the most controversial and
:10:44. > :10:47.he has made another one this year. It has extended the fairway. This
:10:47. > :10:50.ditch that ran at the bottom used to be at the end of the slope and
:10:50. > :10:56.the ball could run into it to get a big tee shot. He has levelled this
:10:56. > :11:00.area out so a nice little plateau of 25 yards. The fairway has been
:11:00. > :11:04.widened. The bunker they used to be down the right hand side has
:11:04. > :11:08.disappeared. It allows the place to take the right side down and they
:11:08. > :11:11.are not going to run into the ditch so they have got a bit of ground to
:11:11. > :11:21.work with. They have couldn't be these pants -- these pine trees on
:11:21. > :11:31.the right. He has a more pitbull wanted, given the players a chance
:11:31. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:43.to take on the 18th green. Good on distance, a little bit of slide, a
:11:43. > :11:51.little bit of left to right. That is miles right, isn't it? He has
:11:51. > :12:00.gone left? No, he has not. He must have hit that right of the toe cap,
:12:00. > :12:09.just lapped it up. He started miles right and ended on the left edge.
:12:09. > :12:14.He is not in any trouble. We got the wind into the face and it feels
:12:14. > :12:24.a little bit of the right side, so Justin Rose tried to use that wind
:12:24. > :12:25.
:12:25. > :12:35.and Cabrera-Bello has the power to get their into. 538 yards, if you
:12:35. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :12:56.want to challenge with the second after it. Oh, no. A very good
:12:56. > :13:04.moment for Andrew Cotter to return. And very familiar with that kind of
:13:04. > :13:13.shot. Amazingly Luke Donald can see the flight at 16, only a gap which.
:13:13. > :13:19.-- the flag. Superbly played, middle of the putting surface.
:13:19. > :13:27.Landed pretty softly. A if he went straight at it it would ping off
:13:27. > :13:32.the downslope. All shaping up nicely for those he won to have a
:13:32. > :13:40.Rose, Donald pairing in the final tomorrow. -- for those who want to
:13:40. > :13:50.have. This is Peter Lawrie's third shot, he found the bunker and was
:13:50. > :13:50.
:13:51. > :14:00.too far. See if he can get it, must be spinning, hits the back slope, a
:14:01. > :14:19.
:14:19. > :14:29.in the high 70s. The putting services dry out very quickly.
:14:29. > :14:29.
:14:29. > :14:39.Francesco Molinari. Up and down for a birdie at the 17th. That has to
:14:39. > :14:45.
:14:45. > :14:52.move, keeps on rolling, not bad. That would take him to five under.
:14:52. > :15:02.There is the 18th. The scene of some controversial changes by Ernie
:15:02. > :15:27.
:15:28. > :15:34.Els. In the last hour or so, we the players. He has decided to
:15:34. > :15:44.deflect it. That is a rather unusually frank from Ernie's
:15:44. > :15:46.
:15:46. > :15:50.perspective. That is not a hidden word competition. It is very
:15:50. > :16:00.interesting. It is more of an aerial course now because of that
:16:00. > :16:12.
:16:12. > :16:22.to redesign. He was going on about spring we have had to get those
:16:22. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:38.greens right. Nearly everyone who has come beyond this flag has left
:16:38. > :17:16.
:17:16. > :17:26.had one top 10, in 2009. Three wins this year, phenomenal. It is only a
:17:26. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:38.couple of shots around difference. Luke Donald has left himself a
:17:38. > :17:52.
:17:52. > :18:02.teaser, there. Molinari, for his four. No birdies today. Two dropped
:18:02. > :18:13.
:18:13. > :18:23.shots. Peter Lawrie. He did not take any chances. Just a dropping
:18:23. > :18:28.

:18:38. > :18:47.
:18:47. > :18:57.10 under. -- Luke Donald, 10 under. He has been rock-solid all week.
:18:57. > :19:00.
:19:00. > :19:10.Almost got away from him, a good pace. He's still one shot clear. It
:19:10. > :19:13.
:19:13. > :19:20.has been a fascinating, beguiling, competition so far. The 17th hole
:19:20. > :19:28.awaits him. The crowd are shuffling down there on that path. Look at
:19:28. > :19:38.them. Not so fantastic for the players, there are a bit scared
:19:38. > :19:42.
:19:42. > :19:52.about their tee shot. -- they are a bit scared about their tee shot.
:19:52. > :19:59.Rose, a long way back. Just laying up at the 18th. He did not want to
:19:59. > :20:07.put it in the rough, that is quite tricky. Averaging over par, this
:20:07. > :20:17.18th hole. That is unusual. Cabrera-Bello found Dave horrendous
:20:17. > :20:24.lie in the trees. -- found a horrendous lie. He will drop it, he
:20:24. > :20:34.is about 100 yards short of the green. Straight into the rite hand

:22:07. > :22:08.
:22:08. > :22:13.That is a strange collection of shots -- socks. He has been a very
:22:13. > :22:22.successful side kick for Luke Donald. Lawrie, with a great tee
:22:22. > :22:32.shot, meeting with applause. That is almost ideal, insight of the
:22:32. > :22:32.
:22:33. > :22:42.green from there, even if the cars reach it. -- he can't reach it. I
:22:43. > :22:58.
:22:58. > :23:08.wonder whether Luca's had a good break? -- Luke Donald. Justin Rose

:23:21. > :23:28.have a look at how things stand, nearing the end of the third round.
:23:28. > :23:35.Luke Donald, potentially the world number one, Justin Rose just below
:23:35. > :23:44.him, the final round pairing, potentially. There are some other
:23:44. > :23:53.players in a good position. Ian Poulter, he had a 69, he went into
:23:53. > :24:00.the red figures. James Morrison, his troubles were today. Drysdale
:24:00. > :24:04.also heading for a round of 82. A little bit further down, Paul
:24:04. > :24:14.McGinley is starting to find some form again after his injury
:24:14. > :24:18.
:24:18. > :24:28.problems. Jose Maria are far ball, not so good today. -- Jose Maria a
:24:28. > :24:38.bubble. Colin Montgomerie, a 78. Five over for the championship. At
:24:38. > :24:41.
:24:41. > :24:51.Thomas Bjorn, also 78. A lot of scores in the Eighties. Ben Curtis,

:25:15. > :25:32.
:25:32. > :25:42.fascinating final day here at the won the final event last year, in
:25:42. > :25:55.
:25:55. > :26:05.Dubai. Donald's his way right -- Donald's, he is way right. He will
:26:05. > :26:06.
:26:06. > :26:16.have to move its in the air to get back on the fairway. He is weighing
:26:16. > :26:16.
:26:16. > :26:26.up whether he will go over or under. It looks like under maybe favourite.
:26:26. > :26:33.
:26:33. > :26:43.Not easy over those trees. Let's not like to be one of these Cameron
:26:43. > :26:53.men. He hit something solid. Where has this one gone? That hit me on
:26:53. > :27:10.
:27:10. > :27:15.Beanie. -- the knee. Has he got a cameraman? Have you recovered?
:27:15. > :27:25.It ricocheted off the tree, and hit me, he would be awfully happy,
:27:25. > :27:32.
:27:32. > :27:42.because I did not need it out on to the fairway -- I did not to put it
:27:42. > :27:42.
:27:42. > :27:52.out on the fairway. Finally, everybody is happy with this drop.
:27:52. > :27:57.
:27:57. > :28:07.Playing his final shot now. Oh, very nicely done. On a similar line
:28:07. > :28:14.
:28:14. > :28:24.from Justin Rose. He has got a swing here. I think he may just
:28:24. > :28:51.
:28:51. > :28:58.have. The backswing is the key. He after the ricochet. He will be
:28:58. > :29:08.reasonably short into the green. I was slightly worried when I heard
:29:08. > :29:13.
:29:13. > :29:22.that sound, it hit Maureen on the leg. I have his initials on my leg.
:29:22. > :29:30.Stern stuff. It has been a long wait for Paul Lawrie. This is nice,
:29:30. > :29:36.has the got a nice forward bounce? Keep going, baby! Well played. If
:29:36. > :29:45.you are going to lay up, that is the perfect spot. Chipping up the
:29:45. > :29:54.full length of the green. James Morrison, he went out four clear,
:29:54. > :30:00.now back to two under par. That is a birdie. Yes! He can smile at
:30:00. > :30:05.something. Something is going his way. He moves to three under par.
:30:05. > :30:15.That is still 11th place. If he finishes strongly, he can start
:30:15. > :30:24.
:30:24. > :30:34.short. 120 yards, didn't hit it far -- hard to have to get on to the

:33:55. > :34:00.The key to his success is the way he holed out. Successful putter.

:34:12. > :34:19.of spectators. Huge crowd. Waiting to happen. Right to left. He wanted
:34:19. > :34:29.that badly. Looks very much as if he will still be in the last group.
:34:29. > :34:39.Depending on what Peter Lawrie does. Justin Rose just wanted one more
:34:39. > :34:47.
:34:47. > :34:57.for Cabrera Bello. It took him away to play this hole. It will be worth

:43:15. > :43:22.Plenty of drinks stands and eyes greens and the tented village has
:43:22. > :43:32.been superb -- ice-cream. Various sponsors. All the motor cars look
:43:32. > :43:32.
:43:32. > :43:42.quite magnificent. This is slow. He will give it a fearful whack up the

:44:08. > :44:15.the 5th on the money-list so far. First appearance here, three wins
:44:15. > :44:20.this season. He was unstoppable in South Africa early on. And this is
:44:20. > :44:30.a little test. See if he is going to pitch it all played it. Never

:45:21. > :45:28.
:45:28. > :45:38.A nice bit of nip on that one. the 18th, this free par. -- this
:45:38. > :45:39.
:45:39. > :45:49.for a par. Well done. That showed you how the green is a little bit
:45:49. > :45:53.
:45:53. > :46:03.torn. The grass is still a very soft. 73. You always hope for a
:46:03. > :46:32.
:46:32. > :46:42.finish. No birdies. A couple of drop shots. 74. -- dropped. He has
:46:42. > :46:50.
:46:50. > :47:00.got Rudolph Valentino eyes. A smouldering. A hint of garlic in
:47:00. > :47:00.
:47:00. > :47:10.the air. There is the governor. He used to be 11 stone, before he got
:47:10. > :47:20.stuck into the sandwiches. He took over from one of the giants in the
:47:20. > :47:21.
:47:21. > :47:29.hotel trade. He has been here 15 years. He has done a super job.
:47:29. > :47:39.am down on the 18th with Alvaro Quiros. He is going would be six-
:47:39. > :47:54.
:47:54. > :48:04.iron. -- with a the six-iron. That is OK. His Abridge tee shot is a
:48:04. > :48:11.
:48:11. > :48:21.350 yards. -- average. I always wanted to join the Woman's
:48:21. > :48:40.
:48:40. > :48:46.Association. She is a member. Donald, back on the tee. The wind
:48:46. > :48:56.is coming in from the left. He should help to keep him out of the
:48:56. > :48:56.
:48:56. > :49:06.bunker. -- that should. You could tell by the way he was setting up,
:49:06. > :49:10.
:49:10. > :49:16.he was always going to play that as a three shot hole. I don't know why
:49:16. > :49:26.they player like that, it will always go lowish. Why do they push
:49:26. > :49:32.
:49:32. > :49:36.it up in the air. Peter Lawrie, five fives in three his last holes.
:49:36. > :49:46.He is playing very conservatively, hoping to finish without another
:49:46. > :49:59.
:49:59. > :50:09.last. -- another lost shot. Marcel Siem. He is on the back of the
:50:09. > :50:22.
:50:22. > :50:28.green. He is from Germany. 71, 67. That is a nice shot. Now, Justin
:50:28. > :50:38.Rose has just have finished his round. Justin, the best round of
:50:38. > :50:38.
:50:38. > :50:48.the day? This was a pretty big move, how are where were you have of the
:50:48. > :50:48.
:50:48. > :50:54.changes? My goal today was to not look at the leaderboard. My caddie
:50:54. > :51:01.told me not to be so interested and involved. The conditions that we
:51:02. > :51:06.had, I knew there was about hanging in there -- I knew it was about
:51:06. > :51:11.hanging in there. I saw that some players were dropping away when I
:51:11. > :51:17.caught a glimpse of it. Today was a staying still day. If you got par,
:51:17. > :51:24.that was a good round. It is looking like an All England combo
:51:24. > :51:34.in the last round, that looks good tee. We are great friends, there
:51:34. > :51:38.will be a lot of banter. There will be a luck to play for. It will be
:51:38. > :51:43.competitive. Let me get your reaction to those comments from
:51:43. > :51:51.Ernie Els. He was talking about the greens, he was fuming. Are you
:51:51. > :51:55.agreement? I enjoyed the battle, to be honest with you. It was a real
:51:55. > :52:00.test, you could not get the ball close, and he had to think about
:52:00. > :52:08.how we were approaching the course. It felt like a final day of a major
:52:08. > :52:14.championship. Golf gets like that some time. The course set-up was
:52:14. > :52:24.tough, there weren't a lot of birdies. We wish you all the best
:52:24. > :52:29.
:52:29. > :52:33.for tomorrow. Very diplomatic words there. Coming
:52:33. > :52:43.to the end of this a third round. The forecast for tomorrow's pretty
:52:43. > :52:45.
:52:45. > :52:55.good. -- tomorrow is pretty good. Stop it! He is one of the drivers,
:52:55. > :52:55.
:52:55. > :53:05.as well. He picks up the flags. They are worried about the flags
:53:05. > :53:11.
:53:11. > :53:21.being stolen. That tells a story. Come on now, Alvaro Quiros. To
:53:21. > :53:28.
:53:28. > :53:37.finish with a birdie. You are kidding me! Started perfectly. He
:53:37. > :53:47.ended up taking a 77, it has been a battle. An unrelenting battle.
:53:47. > :53:57.Justin was quite right, it is a challenge. This is Siem, after Ray
:53:57. > :54:01.
:54:01. > :54:11.very good third shot. -- after a very good shot. That looks to be a
:54:11. > :54:18.
:54:18. > :54:28.lofted club, he may be laying up. For a birdie. You catch the edge,
:54:28. > :54:55.
:54:55. > :54:58.they don't going. -- go in there. big carry. He has just put a nice
:54:58. > :55:07.and nine I N down the centre of the green, getting himself a good lie
:55:07. > :55:17.towards the flag. -- nine iron. Peter Lawrie never had a decision
:55:17. > :55:22.
:55:22. > :55:29.to make. The final pair, on the 18. David Drysdale and James Morrison
:55:29. > :55:39.are both having a day they would like to forget. Especially James
:55:39. > :55:42.
:55:42. > :55:47.Morrison, two eights on the first nine holes. He's still three under.
:55:47. > :55:57.A good round tomorrow, he could finish well up there. There are
:55:57. > :56:23.
:56:23. > :56:28.only ten people ahead of him. Well done. From where these two
:56:28. > :56:36.players are playing their shots, that flag position looks like it is
:56:36. > :56:44.in the right bunker. The flags in the grandstand tell the players it
:56:44. > :56:50.is directly into the wind. It has stopped short, and spun back. If
:56:50. > :57:00.you get the distance right, you can pitch it right up to the flag. He
:57:00. > :57:05.
:57:05. > :57:15.has gone back around 6-8 yards. Morrison, his tee shot. Plenty of
:57:15. > :57:19.
:57:19. > :57:28.heat on that, baby. You can get some real flight with those metal
:57:28. > :57:38.woods. What I love about Luke Donald, he would put too much spin
:57:38. > :57:40.
:57:40. > :57:50.on this. It will stop dead. How much as he left himself? He has 110,
:57:50. > :57:51.
:57:51. > :57:58.Ken. He has played flawlessly, he has been out of position, but he
:57:58. > :58:06.has never compounded his error. There aren't many better than him
:58:06. > :58:16.from this distance. That could have done with pitching another 2-3
:58:16. > :58:28.
:58:28. > :58:32.yards. A chance for a birdie. A good chance. Who is that? They
:58:32. > :58:42.speak a language with which I'm not too familiar. That means something
:58:42. > :58:44.
:58:44. > :58:54.to somebody. That is a bit different. He has had a bad day.
:58:54. > :59:21.
:59:21. > :59:26.Here three-putted. -- he has three- Scott who some people will remember
:59:26. > :59:32.from his days at the BBC when he introduced pro-celebrity golf, was
:59:32. > :59:41.out and about for all the golf tournament we used to be. Sadly,
:59:41. > :59:46.they get less and less. But we are hanging on. It is Peter Lawrie
:59:46. > :59:56.first. His ball way down on the right. That is a long putt up the
:59:56. > :59:58.
:59:58. > :00:02.hill. I do think it is delightful to see the young people here.
:00:02. > :00:05.and boys. They have done a fantastic job of encouraging
:00:05. > :00:10.youngsters in schools, schools that never even thought of having golf
:00:10. > :00:16.on the curriculum. And the golf professionals, the club pros, give
:00:16. > :00:21.up their time to go and teach, get the children introduced to the game,
:00:21. > :00:26.whether they stay you do it or get the opportunity is another thing. -
:00:26. > :00:36.- stake in it. At least they have the chance. Most of the green in
:00:36. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:58.shadow now. Long, uphill, right teasing one to finish with. Going
:00:58. > :01:06.to have six fives in the last nine holes. Three par fives. You don't
:01:06. > :01:16.make much progress it you are taking 5 every time. Daft -- if you
:01:16. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:20.are taking 5 every time. When he hasn't hold them he is always
:01:20. > :01:26.frightened to hole, so you do get a certain amount of confidence
:01:26. > :01:36.watching Luke Donald with the putter. Arms hanging freely away
:01:36. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:54.from his body, arms not cluttered quiet assassin. They are crying
:01:54. > :02:27.
:02:27. > :02:31.first round of this event. Just fives, a round of 72, pretty good.
:02:31. > :02:41.Not the most powerful of hitters but a very well put together round
:02:41. > :02:45.of golf. Just one more per left out there. Down the 18th. What a
:02:45. > :02:54.thoroughly professional performance. 69 for Luke Donald, defending
:02:54. > :03:04.champion. Love to see the way he has putted his way round today. --

:03:09. > :03:15.Drysdale was hoping with but he can finish in style going for the green
:03:15. > :03:25.on 18 with two. Trouble everywhere. He has found a lot of it today.
:03:25. > :03:26.
:03:26. > :03:30.big hit, this one. He took it on and he got it over the trouble. Not
:03:30. > :03:40.the worst place to be in that bunker. Tight one, but if the light
:03:40. > :03:44.is good, not par. James Morrison, pretty much the same yards closer
:03:44. > :03:54.Govett two yards closer. 240 yards. We have done just about everything
:03:54. > :04:13.
:04:13. > :04:23.today, might well have a go for it That is OK, well hit. Awkward one
:04:23. > :04:33.
:04:33. > :04:40.Royal Lytham St Annes just south of Blackpool, a delightful course. One
:04:40. > :04:50.of my trade routes. The Open at this week at Lytham St
:04:50. > :04:55.
:04:55. > :05:05.Anne's. Couldn't happen to a nicer fellow. How do you like that?

:05:23. > :05:29.taking on by Aberdeen Asset, that is a new sponsor. Last year
:05:29. > :05:34.remember it was dreadful weather, some torrential rain. If we get a
:05:34. > :05:39.spell of this weather up there it will be absolutely fantastic. We
:05:39. > :05:45.have got the Women's Open Championship, Royal Liverpool,
:05:45. > :05:55.September. Pushed back because of the Olympic games. All sorts of
:05:55. > :06:07.
:06:07. > :06:14.things going on. Football, years ago. PETER ALLISS: Final pair
:06:14. > :06:19.coming up. COMMENTATOR: James Morrison from England. PETER
:06:19. > :06:26.ALLISS: He is smiling now. Got a way to a good.. Hasn't been too bad
:06:26. > :06:31.on the back nine, Ken. For a 44 blows for the front line, yesterday
:06:31. > :06:37.he was 32. Ethical all game but he has gathered himself together
:06:37. > :06:44.pretty well. If he could do a 72 or better tomorrow he will not have
:06:44. > :06:54.ended up to back. First prize is �600,000 second prize �400,000,
:06:54. > :07:03.
:07:03. > :07:08.16th gets �50,000, so plenty to try Luke Donald is with Andrew Cotter.
:07:08. > :07:12.A day for grafting, but a good hard own ground. Mentally and physically
:07:12. > :07:18.it was very tiring. A tough day, the wind blowing as hard as it did
:07:18. > :07:24.out there today. This course is not easy in good conditions. I really
:07:24. > :07:28.had to focus hard today. I played the best today that I have of the
:07:28. > :07:32.first two rounds so that was very pleasing. Explain the difficult
:07:32. > :07:36.nature of the court and the conditions. It is very tricky. In
:07:36. > :07:41.amongst the trees. You try and trust the wind direction you know
:07:41. > :07:46.it is coming from but it does swell. The greens are starting to firm up
:07:46. > :07:51.in places. It is very difficult to pick the right shot and the right
:07:51. > :07:55.club selection, and you make a lot of birdies around here, especially
:07:55. > :07:59.when the wind is blowing. It is going to be a great final group.
:07:59. > :08:03.You and Justin Rose going head-to- head. It will be tough. I played
:08:03. > :08:07.with him the first few rounds and he was swinging really nicely. He
:08:07. > :08:12.played nicely today as well and it will be a good battle with the two
:08:12. > :08:16.of this. I am excited to get going tomorrow. Almost the same as last
:08:16. > :08:20.year, could take the world number one spot, fairly nailed on but the
:08:20. > :08:24.other thing is winning the tournament itself. If all goes well
:08:24. > :08:30.to borrow and a win the tournament obviously the world ranking takes
:08:30. > :08:36.care of itself. -- tomorrow and I win. A proud moment personally just
:08:36. > :08:43.to go a whole year and have the world ranking. Obviously I lost it
:08:43. > :08:47.a few times here and there. Still, to go by Hawke year and still be
:08:47. > :08:53.ranked number one is really special. The focus is to try and go out and
:08:53. > :09:03.win the tournament. And try and defend. 20 very much. -- thank you
:09:03. > :09:25.
:09:26. > :09:31.missed a couple of nice little shot from these guys. James Morrison has
:09:31. > :09:35.got a shorter putt for a birdie, so hopefully they can finish in style.
:09:36. > :09:45.Don't forget because the condition was so difficult today if these
:09:46. > :09:46.
:09:46. > :10:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 68 seconds
:10:31. > :10:41.guys make birdie here they are good thing. He is still trying.
:10:41. > :10:41.
:10:41. > :10:51.This putt for a 36, a very good nine. The even when he was taking
:10:51. > :11:00.
:11:00. > :11:10.us 8s, not at any stage did his enough! A five to finish. 81 with a
:11:10. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:20.couple of eights. Still in there battling with that birdie at the
:11:20. > :11:24.16th. A horrible round of 81. A learning experience. We know he can
:11:24. > :11:27.do it after that wonderful 64 yesterday. Here is the situation as
:11:27. > :11:31.we head into the final round. Luke Donald about to go back to the
:11:31. > :11:37.world number one spot, without two- shot cushion over Justin Rose.
:11:37. > :11:42.Peter Lawrie, he went into the lead for a time, but faltered slightly
:11:42. > :11:47.in the last few holes. 7-under par. Ernie Els and Paul Lawrie in that
:11:47. > :11:51.group on 5-under. In the heat of Wentworth we have had heated words
:11:51. > :11:57.and not towns along the way. Let me remind you that tomorrow we will be
:11:57. > :12:02.back on the air at the earlier time of 2pm. On BBC Two. Amongst the
:12:02. > :12:07.visitors to Wentworth tomorrow will be Lord Coe, got a bit of work on
:12:07. > :12:12.the summer, at the Olympic torch Reload in full flow -- really. You
:12:12. > :12:17.can keep up-to-date on line. We have had a real battle today with
:12:17. > :12:22.the conditions out there and we anticipate a real duel between
