:00:36. > :00:39.great names of world golf have pitched up here trying to win the
:00:40. > :00:45.Premier event on the European Tour, and it all adds up to 30 years of
:00:46. > :00:54.brilliant memories, specially for these men.
:00:55. > :01:09.And he is the champion! Yes, he has done it! Wonderful. From Bernhard
:01:10. > :01:20.Langer. Faldo is the champion. He is a genius. Yes! Well done! What a
:01:21. > :01:30.wonderful way to finish your round! Very well played, Bernhard Langer.
:01:31. > :01:37.Yes... I think he is pleased! A second victory in this championship.
:01:38. > :01:44.Just like that. Well, they don't come much better than that!
:01:45. > :01:53.Excellent play. He wins by five. Fabulous play from Scott Drummond! A
:01:54. > :02:00.great victory. Well done, Miguel Angel Jimenez. What a brilliant putt
:02:01. > :02:09.from Simon Khan! PGA Championship world number one, congratulations.
:02:10. > :02:14.Temperamental weather conditions only added to the difficulty of the
:02:15. > :02:17.notoriously tough West course, and the field, including no fewer than
:02:18. > :02:24.ten major champions, and all but one of the victorious Ryder Cup team,
:02:25. > :02:27.needed plenty of patience as well as resolved on the opening days last
:02:28. > :02:33.Thursday and Friday. This is how they got on.
:02:34. > :02:39.Few would have thought things would go well for Rory McIlroy, but this
:02:40. > :02:44.was the highlight of an impressive day. Slow and spin and in, an eagle
:02:45. > :02:49.on his way to 68, something to smile about. Another Irishman was going
:02:50. > :02:54.well, Shane Lowry started to turn around a grim season with a decent
:02:55. > :02:58.finish in Spain, this was one of ten birdies in a 64, and on other days
:02:59. > :03:03.that might have led, but Thomas Bjorn was having a day when the pins
:03:04. > :03:07.were easy to find. Eight birdies and an eagle, not a blemish on the
:03:08. > :03:16.card, a course record 62 for the day. A hard act to follow in the
:03:17. > :03:23.second round. Ten and would lead at halfway. And he would have company
:03:24. > :03:27.from Shane Lowry in a rare moment of sunshine, the Irishman closed with
:03:28. > :03:31.back-to-back birdies, 70, and a share of the lead. McIlroy turn
:03:32. > :03:37.things around, and he once again found the green in two to make
:03:38. > :03:47.eagle, eventually around and 71, five under, five behind. The leading
:03:48. > :03:51.home challenge was from Luke Donald, 67 left him six under and in
:03:52. > :03:53.the hunt for a third title. Luke Donald on the march but on the way
:03:54. > :04:16.home after missing the cut... Bidding to cement his place for
:04:17. > :04:19.Gleneagles, Thomas Bjorn, leader of the championship after two days
:04:20. > :04:23.alongside Shane Lowry. Luke Donald has hit his stride, former world
:04:24. > :04:27.number one Rory McIlroy, the man who could leap to the top of the
:04:28. > :04:41.rankings, Henrik Stenson, on five under.
:04:42. > :04:46.This is where we join the third-round play, and one name
:04:47. > :04:55.missing from the top, Thomas Bjorn, who has had a nervous and anxious
:04:56. > :05:00.start. Luke Donald has made eagle at the fourth, but they are all chasing
:05:01. > :05:05.27-year-old Irishman Shane Lowry, winner of two European Tour events,
:05:06. > :05:10.one as an amateur, one as a pro. Seconds out, round three with Ken
:05:11. > :05:16.Brown, Andrew Cotter and Peter Alliss.
:05:17. > :05:23.Luke Donald to go to nine under. No, it stayed up.
:05:24. > :05:35.He goes about his business buried quietly went on form. He makes it
:05:36. > :05:45.look very simple. And then suddenly he has got the winner's cheque.
:05:46. > :05:55.Putting for birdie, this is to go seven under par.
:05:56. > :06:06.It was always edging down that side. Oh... We have seen some wonderful
:06:07. > :06:15.shots and bits and pieces pieces so far today.
:06:16. > :06:27.This is for a round of 64. Left to right, down the slope. Go on!
:06:28. > :06:37.He will be around in 65. He has made the top ten in his last two
:06:38. > :06:41.appearances at the BMW, a delightful round, he has floated through the
:06:42. > :06:50.field today. Expand in the clubhouse. -- six under. This is a
:06:51. > :06:52.spooky second shop with the flag where it is, water all the way down
:06:53. > :07:00.the left. where it is, water all the way down
:07:01. > :07:02.the -- second shot. Our leader has been very cute, nice shot, sensibly
:07:03. > :07:22.played, the heart of the green. The young Frenchman, a new name. He
:07:23. > :07:33.goes to seven under par. Eagle at the last, birdied this one. Shane
:07:34. > :07:38.Lowry leads the way, but look, halfway down, Molinari, 65. He is
:07:39. > :07:43.with Hazel. A lovely round of 65, why could you
:07:44. > :07:53.get it so right where others have struggled? I don't know, I started
:07:54. > :07:56.nicely, I did not bogey the first, which are usually do at Wentworth. I
:07:57. > :08:00.did not play well in the first round, but I scored well. I played
:08:01. > :08:06.well yesterday and did not score well. I managed to combine the two
:08:07. > :08:13.today, got up and down when I missed the Greens, got the chance is that I
:08:14. > :08:21.had, so really happy with my round. The illuminating part of that round,
:08:22. > :08:27.the chip in. BT, it is forward, so it is reachable. I hit it a bit
:08:28. > :08:34.firmer than what I wanted, but it was straight down the line, it went
:08:35. > :08:39.in, very nice. Two top-ten finishes at this championship, you appear to
:08:40. > :08:44.be getting the measure of the West Course now. Yeah, I like it, even
:08:45. > :08:48.after the changes when some of the players were not so happy about it,
:08:49. > :08:54.I enjoy playing here. Obviously, it is very demanding, and if you do not
:08:55. > :09:01.play well, it is not much fun to be at there, but I like it, and today
:09:02. > :09:02.it is another example. You have put yourself in a good position, thank
:09:03. > :09:08.you. Shane Lowry on the eighth, two
:09:09. > :09:13.putts would be a very fair result from here.
:09:14. > :09:25.Oh, no, no... He has left himself something horrible. Marcel Siem,
:09:26. > :09:37.difficult to pick a club here at the tenth. Playing 175 yards, the par
:09:38. > :09:42.three. Very well judged. The wind always difficult to suss out.
:09:43. > :09:47.Shane Lowry for a par at the apes. It has been difficult to read. --
:09:48. > :09:57.the eighth. All change, tied for the lead with
:09:58. > :10:03.Thomas Aiken at nine under par, closely followed by Luke Donald and
:10:04. > :10:18.Thomas Bjorn at eight under. Ninth hole, Anders Hansen.
:10:19. > :10:35.A bit of all sorts today, but he's still very much in the picture.
:10:36. > :10:46.He has pulled it. Oh! He has been red-hot on the Greens this week too,
:10:47. > :10:47.a beauty at the seventh. Possibly a slight miss it, just a par at the
:10:48. > :11:44.tenth. A beauty, a very fine strike. This
:11:45. > :11:50.could really come good from here oh! He has stabbed it down well. Rory!
:11:51. > :11:59.A little scrappy but he is hanging in, always capable of a sneaky eagle
:12:00. > :12:09.on those par-fives. A monster putt for Agen, he was within hailing
:12:10. > :12:19.distance. He is only just within hailing distance now.
:12:20. > :12:41.Aiken having another shot at it. This is for a four at the 11th. He
:12:42. > :12:54.has not hit it quite hard enough. The first dropped shot of the day.
:12:55. > :12:59.This is to tie the lead, a birdie chance at nine.
:13:00. > :13:14.A lot of his parts have looked at the hole, neat and tidy opening
:13:15. > :13:26.nine. -- putts. Sullivan at the 11th, birdie putt, taps it in.
:13:27. > :13:34.Hansen for a par at the tenth. Just a little to the right, a little
:13:35. > :13:43.bit... Yes! He stays at five under, in touch.
:13:44. > :13:59.Rory has played a good one, on the green. Luke looks as if he likes it,
:14:00. > :14:05.and he certainly does! Two beauties. Thomas Bjorn, third shot at the
:14:06. > :14:33.ninth. He has not hit it hard enough, it
:14:34. > :14:37.just dives to the left. Nothing much happening for him.
:14:38. > :14:47.Shane Lowry, this is to go back to level par for the day at the ninth.
:14:48. > :14:56.He leads by one. Always slightly on the high side. 36, one over, two
:14:57. > :15:04.birdies and one bogey. Sullivan, a little bit right to left. A turn of
:15:05. > :15:12.the club, and that is why, up onto the table top, a beautiful shot,
:15:13. > :15:20.that for eagle. Now Bjorn for his par on the ninth. Yes, has
:15:21. > :15:25.something. Something to cheer his soul. He is just hanging in there,
:15:26. > :15:57.Thomas Bjorn, just one behind. It has been a scrap today.
:15:58. > :16:08.It is a sliding one. A tentative stroke here. That club is moving so
:16:09. > :16:22.fast. How about that digging in? Not a huge amount of role there. He
:16:23. > :16:41.doesn't know. He can't see it. Too tightly with Shane Lowry. --
:16:42. > :16:48.tie. Too tightly with Shane Lowry. --
:16:49. > :16:59.tie. Just a bit of tilt there that none
:17:00. > :17:10.of the players are seeing. Most of them. Andy Sullivan has birdied the
:17:11. > :17:13.10th and 11th. This for an eagle. That is a great opportunity but it
:17:14. > :17:19.will be three birdies in a row. tie.
:17:20. > :17:30.That is a great opportunity but it will be three birdies in a row.
:17:31. > :17:54.It is good. Tucked in a little alcove today. Rory McIlroy away from
:17:55. > :18:04.a good angle. It is a poor shot. Just five yards in front of the pin
:18:05. > :18:16.and five yards behind it. Marcel Siem on the 12th. Can he take
:18:17. > :18:19.advantage? Certainly can. The tricky bit is hitting it on to this level.
:18:20. > :18:40.An eagle chance. He has played it magnificently. Very
:18:41. > :18:47.narrow portion of the green. He has positioned it nicely. Rain is
:18:48. > :19:05.beginning to fall. Just a bit tight with those trees on the left.
:19:06. > :19:51.A nervy little putt at the last and that one has a vicious break.
:19:52. > :20:07.Just enough pace to hold its line. The rain is falling now. 6-under. On
:20:08. > :20:14.the 12th green, it is chucking it down.
:20:15. > :20:27.Not good enough. Still a birdie. He will move up to 6-under par. Eight
:20:28. > :20:38.players now tied on 6-under par. It is beginning to get a bit
:20:39. > :20:46.crowded. We have a 3-way tie for second. You will see the likes of
:20:47. > :21:07.Andy Sullivan, three birdies in a row. He is firmly in the mix also.
:21:08. > :21:25.Thomas Aiken on the 13th. /it well. Nice solid contact. Just miss read.
:21:26. > :21:30.This is in the extreme for Shane Lowry.
:21:31. > :21:51.This is That was superb. He is a delightful chip. Superb.
:21:52. > :22:13.We have seen this one done by Rory McIlroy and now Thomas Bjorn. He
:22:14. > :22:24.moves alongside Shane Lowry at 9-under par. He has hung in there
:22:25. > :22:29.today. The players champion in America. Martin Kaymer. Very
:22:30. > :22:51.popular. Round in 69. Once again Thomas Bjorn and Shane
:22:52. > :22:53.Lowry are tied at the top. Francesco Molinari has made up some good
:22:54. > :23:12.ground today. Three wins he has had on Tour. Two
:23:13. > :23:22.have been here at the PGA Championship. Joint leader. He has
:23:23. > :23:36.done it. Wonderful up and down at the image of the green.
:23:37. > :23:45.Jonas Blixt. You can see how much the green is raised.
:23:46. > :24:42.It is all right. Not too bad there. Just off the green here.
:24:43. > :25:09.Justin Rose, birdie putt on the 18th. Not to be. Had it going very
:25:10. > :25:15.nicely on the front nine. Was out in 32. Double bogey on the 11th halted
:25:16. > :25:17.him in his tracks. A couple of birdies coming back. A lot to do
:25:18. > :25:36.tomorrow. Jonas Blixt. Slowly, slowly, back
:25:37. > :25:44.and through. It did better than I thought it would. It looked very
:25:45. > :25:58.strong when he first hit it and it nearly went in. That is how they
:25:59. > :26:04.stand coming towards the relatively close end of third round. I wonder
:26:05. > :26:16.what the spread will be at the end of the day.
:26:17. > :26:26.Just a birdie. It takes Rory McIlroy out of that big group and 7-under
:26:27. > :27:03.par. Alone in fourth place. Just two behind now.
:27:04. > :27:28.Third shot. He has managed to get out. You don't see that very often.
:27:29. > :27:41.Once he gets going, he can be dangerous. Alongside Rory McIlroy
:27:42. > :27:51.and Jonas Blixt now. Lowry went too far. Tried to play a miracle shot.
:27:52. > :27:56.Put it in the front bunker. I don't know what he or she is doing there.
:27:57. > :28:21.Hansen knocked it down to here. Thomas Bjorn, third shot. It has
:28:22. > :28:23.done better than I thought it would. That wasn't a very good shot, in all
:28:24. > :28:44.truth. That was a Miss Q. I can think of many a person that
:28:45. > :29:11.wouldn't like this one. Just a doddle! Pottered like Ronnie
:29:12. > :29:20.O'Sullivan. Well done, sir. That was supposed to be difficult. Look at
:29:21. > :29:21.this. It hopped in at a speed. There she goes. Never looked anywhere
:29:22. > :29:57.else, did it? Suddenly Bjorn is well out in front.
:29:58. > :30:13.A birdie on the 11th and 12th. He will lead by two.
:30:14. > :30:16.there. He has left unsold eight-week as well. When we suggested he would
:30:17. > :30:55.be leading by It was not far away. So the
:30:56. > :31:02.situation ever changing. Thomas Bjorn, who has had some very untidy
:31:03. > :31:07.holes, is two ahead with half a dozen left to play. Luke Donald
:31:08. > :31:14.going on his quiet, merry way. It is all to play for. Pas putt for this
:31:15. > :31:36.week. A couple of good birdies on 11 and
:31:37. > :31:41.12. Luke Donald, tee shot at the 14th. Rory came up short. He may not
:31:42. > :31:53.know that. Can he find the top-level? Oh... He is short and
:31:54. > :31:55.right, is he? Yes, short and right. Steady... It will not go off the
:31:56. > :32:23.green. Now, Luke Donald with his long, long
:32:24. > :32:24.putt, roller-coaster, up and down and round.
:32:25. > :32:34.This is for a two. A very good judge of pace. Thomas
:32:35. > :32:54.Aiken at the 16th. 14 screen, McIlroy has had a long
:32:55. > :33:04.look at this putt. -- 14th green. Up the slope, it is having a
:33:05. > :33:20.look... A sort of amphitheatre green here,
:33:21. > :33:28.big crowds. Well done. He started with a double bogey, four birdies,
:33:29. > :33:34.two under for his round, good comeback. Aiken has already had one
:33:35. > :33:40.in the bunker, fourth shot. That is more like it.
:33:41. > :33:53.Not a bad position of the tee, pushed his second. -- off. Birdies
:33:54. > :33:57.at 11, one at the 12th, this is a chance for a birdie to give himself
:33:58. > :34:07.a three shot lead. Sliding from left to right. And he has done it.
:34:08. > :34:10.Brilliantly done for Thomas Bjorn. He opened the week with a 62 course
:34:11. > :34:31.record, an unbelievable score. This is to go seven under. Come on,
:34:32. > :34:36.come on..., an! Symbol game. -- simple.
:34:37. > :34:48.Aiken at the 16th, his trials and tribulations go on. That is half a
:34:49. > :34:50.dozen from nowhere. Oh, dear! Come tomorrow night, that could be very
:34:51. > :35:13.expensive. You get a good swat! That is a
:35:14. > :35:19.crackerjack, just on the top with a bit of grip as well. One of the best
:35:20. > :35:27.we have seen today. Big putt here for Lowry. Difficult to get it
:35:28. > :35:32.close. Up and down, slowing up. Very slow from that side. Oh, why did I
:35:33. > :36:09.do it?! Henrik Stenson. This is for a part at the 14th. --
:36:10. > :36:14.par. It eventually disappeared, and that will do him a power of good, or
:36:15. > :36:20.should do, because things were beginning to slip. He stays at eight
:36:21. > :36:28.under, just a couple behind, three behind. Thomas Bjorn, currently our
:36:29. > :36:44.leader. This is for a two. Lovely smooth roll, he leads by four,
:36:45. > :36:47.birdies at 11, 12, 13 and 14. For a par having been in the water. He
:36:48. > :37:00.nudges it in, good lad! Youthful looking lad and 68, good
:37:01. > :37:09.school, Eddie. He did that without a chaperone! After that flourish of
:37:10. > :37:14.birdies will Thomas Bjorn, he leads by four, four birdies in a row. He
:37:15. > :37:18.is currently two under for the round. Going steadily is Luke
:37:19. > :37:23.Donald, great finish from Eddie Pepperell there.
:37:24. > :37:45.Rory McIlroy's second at the 15th, good view of the flag, middle front,
:37:46. > :37:51.a bit right. He can pitch it right at the flag.
:37:52. > :38:06.Right online, I fancy, look at those eyes! Safely on.
:38:07. > :38:16.Larrazabal in a can's bunker. -- Aiken.
:38:17. > :38:24.It sounds pretty hard, packed down with the rain, I guess. Most of the
:38:25. > :38:29.bunkers could do with a little forking over. Very open clubface,
:38:30. > :38:43.watch the way he plays this. A little bit of drag, beautifully
:38:44. > :38:50.done. One of the best short games in the world, second in The Masters.
:38:51. > :38:55.Larrazabal for a par. He has overdone it.
:38:56. > :39:06.These last four or five holes, we have seen people finish 3-3-3.
:39:07. > :39:08.These last four or five holes, we Everything can change over these
:39:09. > :39:14.These last four or five holes, we last four holes here.
:39:15. > :39:36.McIlroy, 15th, up the slope for a birdie.
:39:37. > :40:01.The greens are slower today, because a little bit softer, footprints at
:40:02. > :40:03.the end of the day. Not running quite as smoothly as they were
:40:04. > :40:39.earlier on. Stenson. Henrik Stenson, second
:40:40. > :40:44.shot. Very up and down round, he has had all sorts of figures and scores,
:40:45. > :40:46.birdies and putts and missed shots. But very much in the picture, good
:40:47. > :41:03.job. Jamie Donaldson for a par at the
:41:04. > :41:10.final hole, well done! The Jolly green giant, there he is. 66, well
:41:11. > :41:13.done, another one for Gleneagles, the Ryder Cup. Thomas Bjorn, our
:41:14. > :41:26.leader by four. Beautiful line here, 6-iron, by the
:41:27. > :41:37.look of it. Bigshot for a six. -- big shot. I know, I did that myself!
:41:38. > :41:51.I hope he has got a decent lie here. What a result! No, it
:41:52. > :42:02.couldn't, could it?! It mustn't... Look at that! Paid a fortune for
:42:03. > :42:03.those choppers. What a man, missed the green by 30 yards and then
:42:04. > :42:24.played a miracle shot like that. Always a tricky green to read, eight
:42:25. > :42:30.under. Well done. Stenson, birdie putt.
:42:31. > :42:57.Seven players now at six under par, half of the field within eight
:42:58. > :43:03.shots. Thomas Bjorn, big swinging putt down the hill, right-to-left,
:43:04. > :43:12.speed is very important. Hello! Hello! Well, what a difference... It
:43:13. > :43:16.must be his twin brother, this is not the same fellow who was walking
:43:17. > :43:20.around earlier, five birdies in a row. Look at that! A five shot lead
:43:21. > :43:35.at the moment. 18th, and Chris Doak, this to move
:43:36. > :43:37.to seven under. He has got a chance... Oh! It was turning in as
:43:38. > :43:50.well. This is how they stand, Thomas Bjorn
:43:51. > :43:56.striding away at the moment, This is how they stand, Thomas Bjorn
:43:57. > :44:00.striding away at the he has still got three dangerous holes. Jamie
:44:01. > :44:06.Donaldson has finished his round, he is with Hazel. 68 today puts you at
:44:07. > :44:14.minus six for the championship, how'd you view that going into the
:44:15. > :44:18.final day at Wentworth? Am in -- I in a decent position, I played as
:44:19. > :44:27.well as I could, but I scored well, which is the main thing. That gave
:44:28. > :44:31.me a score of 68. These are wonderfully exciting times for you,
:44:32. > :44:34.in the two years since your breakthrough victory on the European
:44:35. > :44:39.tour, doing great things in America and on the European tour, possibly
:44:40. > :44:45.even eyeing a place on the Ryder Cup team. What has changed over the last
:44:46. > :44:49.couple of years for Jamie Donaldson? Family responsibility, I have got
:44:50. > :44:54.two kids now, so that is a massive responsibility. I suppose you look
:44:55. > :44:58.at life differently. Things are more important. But my goal has been
:44:59. > :45:06.pretty good for a number of years, everything is starting to click
:45:07. > :45:11.nicely. -- might golf. I have kept working on things, and here I am,
:45:12. > :45:14.trying to improve, move up the world rankings, the order of merit every
:45:15. > :45:28.year, and that is what I have been doing, quite happy with the
:45:29. > :45:35.progress. There is a lot of golf to play. I am trying to play as well as
:45:36. > :45:43.I can each week to hit other targets and let everything else take care of
:45:44. > :45:53.itself. We wish you the very best. Thank you. Thomas Bjorn, a bit of
:45:54. > :45:56.green at the back of the 16th. Wonderful, wonderful shot. Slightly
:45:57. > :46:19.lower trajectory. This is a devilish want to read. Got
:46:20. > :46:34.the maestro here. He read it well. Stays at 8-under. Not too inviting,
:46:35. > :46:39.this. The water has been gathering. Scooped it up really. Lovely touch
:46:40. > :46:54.from Shane Lowry. Hands of a genius. This has got a chance, it
:46:55. > :47:32.straightens up from there. Good try. Closes with a birdie. 6-under. 15
:47:33. > :47:43.and 16, very costly. Can it be six in a row for Thomas Bjorn? Straight
:47:44. > :47:57.in the heart. Six birdies in a row. How simple can this game be?
:47:58. > :48:09.Plays it magnificently. Not so spin, just released of the green.
:48:10. > :48:23.Such good judgement with these short irons.
:48:24. > :48:42.Lying nicely. Still awkward. Got to give this a bit of zip.
:48:43. > :48:54.Not too much on it. Nice shot though.
:48:55. > :49:11.Six shots lead for Thomas Bjorn. Rory McIlroy is six shots behind.
:49:12. > :49:19.Henrik Stenson, it didn't really happen for him today.
:49:20. > :49:32.Rory McIlroy. This will be some birdie if it rolls in. It does.
:49:33. > :49:34.Would you believe it. Four way tie. Rory McIlroy has been a little
:49:35. > :49:54.untidy at times. Red-hot leader Paul -- red-hot
:49:55. > :50:16.leaderboard. Thomas Bjorn, you had six birdies in
:50:17. > :50:19.a row. -- you have had. He has been very good on this distance.
:50:20. > :50:22.Beautiful shots. very good on this distance.
:50:23. > :50:36.Beautiful shots. This is a bit more difficult than it
:50:37. > :50:52.looks. It is a dip that he is coming out of. Beautifully done.
:50:53. > :50:56.I am not sure we have seen transformations in golf as big as
:50:57. > :51:18.this. This is for another birdie. Pity, pity, pity. Wasn't as
:51:19. > :51:24.confident. He wanted that one and a four at the last to be home in 29.
:51:25. > :51:27.He won't be done today unless he gets a three at the last. Superb
:51:28. > :51:54.drive from Rory McIlroy. Towering shot. Oh, dear, where has
:51:55. > :52:01.it gone? Lowry, trying to stay short of those bunkers on the left-hand
:52:02. > :52:08.side. Once it to land softly. And it does.
:52:09. > :52:21.Luke Donald pitching down the green. It is running well. Just too well.
:52:22. > :52:28.Just got it a little bit heavy and the grass rolled it on. It was
:52:29. > :52:30.sitting down a little bit. Good line but a bit speedy. Not using a
:52:31. > :53:11.driver. Landed with a dead thump. Is it
:53:12. > :53:22.going to get there -- is it going to get down there? It is trying. He was
:53:23. > :53:32.a long way back off the tee. Put yourself in position.
:53:33. > :53:39.An edgy one. Just off the edge of the fairway. It is all right. Luke
:53:40. > :53:55.Donald for a birdie here at the 18th. Can he get to 10-under? He
:53:56. > :53:58.can. Brilliant. 68. The crowds have stayed on which is very nice to see
:53:59. > :54:06.considering the lateness of the hour. 68.
:54:07. > :54:19.Shane Lowry going for it. Great position. The bailout is hanging out
:54:20. > :55:07.to the right. Down it goes. It is in the bunker. It is not too bad there.
:55:08. > :55:24.It was a little bit more classic. Thomas Bjorn laid up after being
:55:25. > :55:29.some weight back off the tee. -- some way back. That is a very fine
:55:30. > :55:36.shot. A bit of spin and another birdie chance. He was tied with
:55:37. > :55:43.Shane Lowry going out in the third round. Luke Donald, what a finish he
:55:44. > :55:48.has had. You had that eagle on the fifth but you had to stay very
:55:49. > :55:53.patient and your reward came at 17 and 18. How important were those
:55:54. > :56:00.birdies? Every time I looked at the board, Thomas had made another
:56:01. > :56:06.birdie. I didn't want him to get too far ahead of me. It was important to
:56:07. > :56:10.be in the last group tomorrow. Depending on what big guys do, I
:56:11. > :56:16.think I will be in the last group with Thomas. You know how to win
:56:17. > :56:24.this, you have done it twice. How much is this place is associated
:56:25. > :56:31.with you? 2011 was might best year here for sure. I have so many good
:56:32. > :56:37.memories and coming back, defending in the next year was pretty special
:56:38. > :56:42.as well. To win here three times would be very good. I have a tough
:56:43. > :56:49.task ahead of me. Thomas looks like he is playing good golf. I know you
:56:50. > :56:59.have been working. There has been some swing changes. When you can go
:57:00. > :57:05.bogey free on the golf course like this and hit a decent amount of
:57:06. > :57:10.fairways, golf becomes easier. I probably wasn't that interesting to
:57:11. > :57:19.watch today but it was a stress-free 68. Well done today, we look forward
:57:20. > :57:36.to seeing you tomorrow. It has been a fascinating pairing of Luke Donald
:57:37. > :57:43.and Thomas Bjorn. Nicely done here. The open Championship, naturally, on
:57:44. > :58:04.the BBC coming up soon. The luck of the Irish. Greg Norman,
:58:05. > :58:17.the champion from 1986. He has got it. Cold, black eyes are burning.
:58:18. > :58:23.Puts the finishing touch to the play-off. Would you believe that?
:58:24. > :58:39.Brother. Looking forward to that. Can Thomas
:58:40. > :58:53.finish with a birdie? Yes, he can. Well done. That is a remarkable
:58:54. > :58:59.comeback. He looks so -- he looked so down and miserable at the 13th.
:59:00. > :59:07.Maybe he had a Mars bar or something.
:59:08. > :59:17.Almost even more impressive after that struggle on the front nine.
:59:18. > :59:22.Rory McIlroy will be in contention. Rory, you began with a double bogey
:59:23. > :59:28.but how proud are you off the fight back? I was very happy. It wasn't
:59:29. > :59:41.the start that I was looking for. I wanted to get off to a fast start. I
:59:42. > :59:46.fought back well. I played the last 14 holes in 5-under par so that was
:59:47. > :59:53.a good effort. Not quite as close as I would like to be to the leaders.
:59:54. > :59:59.What are you most satisfied with in what has been a difficult week for
:00:00. > :00:04.you? I didn't know what to expect and it is not a course that I have
:00:05. > :00:10.had success on. I didn't know what to expect. My game has been solid.
:00:11. > :00:15.Mentally, I feel like I have done pretty well. I haven't let any bad
:00:16. > :00:27.shots get to me and I stayed patient when I have needed to. You are still
:00:28. > :00:33.very much in it. Good luck tomorrow. Both Thomas Bjorn and Rory McIlroy
:00:34. > :00:42.have a fairly wretched record here, but not Luke Donald, who has another
:00:43. > :00:47.chance tomorrow. You are full of surprises, 62 on Thursday, six
:00:48. > :00:53.birdies in a row, a record here, how did you turn that around? It is hard
:00:54. > :00:57.to explain, really, because I wasn't playing very well earlier, and it
:00:58. > :01:04.was just trying to hang in, but I made a good putt on 11, then I had a
:01:05. > :01:09.great run. Golf is a strange game sometimes, but you have got to take
:01:10. > :01:11.the good and the bad, and today was probably one of my better
:01:12. > :01:18.performances, certainly mentally and staying power and staying determined
:01:19. > :01:22.on the course, that was the key. You started off with a double bogey at
:01:23. > :01:26.the first, then you slipped out of the lead. I just wonder how
:01:27. > :01:31.difficult it is to maintain your focus and your patience when that
:01:32. > :01:36.happens. Yeah, but it was a strange thing, because I had such a big lead
:01:37. > :01:40.this morning, so it never felt like a falling out of the tournament,
:01:41. > :01:45.knowing there was a long way to go, it was just a question of trying to
:01:46. > :01:53.get the best out of it and just see if you can roll a few putts in. That
:01:54. > :01:57.probably happened in excess on the back nine, but grams is that strange
:01:58. > :02:13.sometimes, and it can turn with one swing. -- golf. I felt like it was
:02:14. > :02:17.coming together on the back nine, hitting great positions on the
:02:18. > :02:21.course, which you have to do around here, and then all of a sudden it
:02:22. > :02:29.seemed easy again from being difficult on the front nine. How
:02:30. > :02:32.comfortable is your lead? It is a dangerous lead, certainly with those
:02:33. > :02:40.names on the leaderboard, you cannot take anything for granted in this
:02:41. > :02:45.game. Just try and do more of the same, stay very determined, stay
:02:46. > :02:51.with my grams and be determined with that. Blustery conditions for the
:02:52. > :02:52.final round, how do you assess Thomas Bjorn's task on this final
:02:53. > :02:55.day? final round, how do you assess
:02:56. > :03:07.Thomas Bjorn's task on Well, he has got a nice lead. He has got a bit of
:03:08. > :03:13.leeway to make a mistake. The key to his success is probably the first
:03:14. > :03:18.three holes. If he can make par there, he will be off and running.
:03:19. > :03:26.With the wind blustery, it will not be an easy day, it will be tricky.
:03:27. > :03:33.He has got to have is A game. A 62 in difficult conditions on Thursday?
:03:34. > :03:39.If not Thomas Bjorn, who, and from how far back? If he shoots one
:03:40. > :03:43.under, probably three or four players can challenge him. You would
:03:44. > :03:49.have to look at Rory, he is capable of 64, although it is tricky today.
:03:50. > :03:53.66 would be a great round. Rory would be the first challenger,
:03:54. > :04:01.closely followed by Luke Donald, who has an incredible record here, 17 or
:04:02. > :04:04.18 rounds, under 70 recently. He would be your next choice, but they
:04:05. > :04:10.need to do something special, they have to have a flawless round. It is
:04:11. > :04:15.windy, it is testing, we cannot wait to see who comes out on top in this
:04:16. > :04:20.BMW PGA Championship. Let's show you the early movers. Francesco
:04:21. > :04:25.Molinari's third round was the best of the Saturday efforts, and he
:04:26. > :04:28.picked up where he left off, slotting this birdie at the opening
:04:29. > :04:34.hole to move to seven under. Pablo slotting this birdie at the opening
:04:35. > :04:39.Larrazabal al has already won this season in Abu Dhabi, he was in hot
:04:40. > :04:43.pursuit from eight behind. He birdied the first, and this effort
:04:44. > :04:49.at the short second set up go nine under, moving beautifully.
:04:50. > :04:56.Meanwhile, his playing partner, Rory McIlroy, waited to launches first
:04:57. > :05:03.attack. This was for eagle, not playing ball. And then it did! Ten
:05:04. > :05:12.and a par, into outright second place. -- ten under par. Shane Lowry
:05:13. > :05:17.said he felt curiously flat, but the 27-year-old was firing well by the
:05:18. > :05:22.time he reached the fourth. That was for eagle, 11 under par, four shots
:05:23. > :05:37.behind the big Dane. This is the look of things.
:05:38. > :05:45.No sign of a wobble from the leader, looking very composed and in control
:05:46. > :05:49.of his game so far. Let's enjoy the rest of the final day in the company
:05:50. > :05:53.of Andrew Cotter, Ken Brown and Peter Alliss.
:05:54. > :05:57.Thomas Bjorn's second shot to the fourth, very good, solid start,
:05:58. > :06:03.umpteen shots ahead, beautifully construct it. It will be very
:06:04. > :06:07.interesting to watch his progress today and see how... Look at that,
:06:08. > :06:14.that is a beautiful shot. Though far, so different from yesterday -
:06:15. > :06:19.quite magical, will it continue? -- so far. Luke Donald's second shot to
:06:20. > :06:30.the fourth. He dropped a stroke at the first, a couple of pars.
:06:31. > :06:39.Safely on, getting better. Lowry to the fifth.
:06:40. > :06:45.All the way in the back right corner, right at the pin, beautiful
:06:46. > :06:46.All the way in the back right shot by the Irishman, only four
:06:47. > :06:50.adrift of Thomas Bjorn after that adrift of Thomas Bjorn after that
:06:51. > :07:14.eagle at the fourth. Yawn in good shape himself. -- Bjorn.
:07:15. > :07:25.We have only seen two eagles on the Seoul all day. -- this hole. A
:07:26. > :07:31.pretty solid effort, he will take the birdie. Rory McIlroy is playing
:07:32. > :07:37.alongside Larrazabal, who has just pitched in for his birdie.
:07:38. > :07:46.That is a bold one from McIlroy, dumbing down the slope. Not a nice
:07:47. > :07:51.putt he has left himself for his par.
:07:52. > :07:58.Now, Lowry, to get to 12 under. Shane Lowry now four behind Thomas
:07:59. > :08:12.Bjorn. This is not the length of putt you
:08:13. > :08:19.want for par on a relatively short four. It has cost him a shot. After
:08:20. > :08:23.an eagle, that is not good news. That is how shot drift away, you
:08:24. > :08:34.will never get that one back - it is gone!
:08:35. > :08:43.He is lying OK, not too difficult of a shot down the slope to the pin.
:08:44. > :08:53.He needs to catch the slope and get on down there.
:08:54. > :09:01.Bjorn in danger of dropping his first shot of the day.
:09:02. > :09:40.Thomas Bjorn, first bogey of his final round. He moves back to 15
:09:41. > :09:45.under par. And as it stands, as he taps it in, he is now three shots
:09:46. > :09:54.clear of Shane Lowry. We started five head, down to three.
:09:55. > :10:00.Larrazabal, par attempt on the seventh.
:10:01. > :10:10.That holds his momentum, first dropped shot of the day, three
:10:11. > :10:14.birdies in his opening six holes. -- halts. Back to nine under, six
:10:15. > :10:29.behind Thomas Bjorn. Not that long ago, Francesco
:10:30. > :10:34.Molinari had pretty much this putt and just missed it left. McIlroy for
:10:35. > :10:43.birdie. Yes! He has it, McIlroy, ten under again, back within five. Bogey
:10:44. > :10:49.at the sixth, birdie at the seventh, on the march.
:10:50. > :10:57.Bjorn out of the bunker... Oh, no! I am not sure whether the ball came
:10:58. > :11:05.back and hit him. If it did, it is a penalty. Third shot, I'm not sure
:11:06. > :11:12.whether there was a penalty, he has just dumped it out. He is staring a
:11:13. > :11:18.six in the face now. The final group calamities, penalty drop for
:11:19. > :11:27.Donald, this is his third shot. There in three.
:11:28. > :11:37.Fourth shot, then, for Thomas Bjorn, the leader for the moment. What has
:11:38. > :11:41.he done with this?! Oh, that is wild from that distance! Up and down for
:11:42. > :11:47.a double bogey. Luke Donald, his fourth shot to the
:11:48. > :12:05.sixth. Hitting it had, sending at high...
:12:06. > :12:11.Oh, my word, Bjorn and Donald! Dig that hole up and move on. Having
:12:12. > :12:20.horrors here. Going well, Stephen Gallacher at the 14th.
:12:21. > :12:27.Five birdies so far today, right at the flag on the 14th. He is eight
:12:28. > :12:33.under par, that to get to Luke Donald, one of the best at this
:12:34. > :12:51.shot, but it is his fifth. This rather innocuous par-four is
:12:52. > :12:53.giving the leaders much aggravation. Thomas Bjorn has had Dean, his fifth
:12:54. > :13:06.shot. -- umpteen. This could be the tournament, big
:13:07. > :13:15.change here. In the space of ten minutes! Stephen Gallacher to go to
:13:16. > :13:25.nine under, beautiful tee shot up the 14th. Oh, four in a row! Grampa
:13:26. > :13:28.will be pleased! Even Uncle. Suddenly, things don't look too bad
:13:29. > :13:37.for Rory McIlroy. The pin is so close to the water on
:13:38. > :13:47.the left. Very nicely done, just about where
:13:48. > :13:51.he was aiming, spins it down, good birdie opportunity. It is all about
:13:52. > :14:07.damage limitation, this. Even at this fairly early stage, he
:14:08. > :14:24.may be too far back. So can Thomas Bjorn at least
:14:25. > :14:32.restricted to six -- restrict it to six? Well, from two of the world's
:14:33. > :14:38.best golfers, a huge mess from a fairly simple hole. Thomas Bjorn
:14:39. > :14:43.down into a share of the lead with Shane Lowry, his lead is gone. I am
:14:44. > :14:49.fairly sure McIlroy will not know how close he is to the leaders now.
:14:50. > :14:51.This is to get within one. Oh, what a good go he gave it! But he will
:14:52. > :15:10.stay ten under par. on this course, suddenly in with a
:15:11. > :15:23.great chance of winning. Just two behind. It is not only McIlroy that
:15:24. > :15:29.is in contention. Lowry and Bjorn are tied once again. Lowry's third
:15:30. > :15:57.shot. 7th hole. Difficult to pick a winner at this
:15:58. > :16:08.stage. Middle of the green. Good shot.
:16:09. > :16:33.Lowry for a par. Just. Just is enough. Bjorn, still in the shark
:16:34. > :16:44.area after that horrible six hole. A chance to bounce back. Lowry
:16:45. > :16:51.standing on the border between Surrey and Berkshire. Looks OK. That
:16:52. > :16:58.is a long putt. Stay away from the water. A birdie
:16:59. > :17:29.chance. Yes! Back in the game. That is the way a professional does
:17:30. > :17:43.it, sort of. Thomas Bjorn here at the 7th. Luke Donald has just got
:17:44. > :17:43.one. He got frustrated yesterday but pulled it back through
:17:44. > :18:04.magnificently. The situation, two players.
:18:05. > :18:14.12-under. One burst of magic could change everything.
:18:15. > :18:22.Store -- the scoring is not particularly low today because of
:18:23. > :18:46.the relatively strong wind. Shane Lowry. Chance to lead on his own.
:18:47. > :18:57.What a birdie that is. Moves to 10-under. Tied with his playing
:18:58. > :19:08.partner, Rory McIlroy. Two behind Lowry and Bjorn. Temp to -- McIlroy
:19:09. > :19:15.for his part on the night. Didn't look convincing at all. A bogey on
:19:16. > :19:24.the night. Slips back to 9-under par. His playing partner,
:19:25. > :19:35.Larrazabal, goes in the other direction. Suddenly others come into
:19:36. > :19:36.the mix. Simon Dyson here. His third bone -- birdie in a row. Four
:19:37. > :20:00.behind. Very well judged putt from Luke
:20:01. > :20:10.Donald there. Par-4. McIlroy down there as well. The ball seems to be
:20:11. > :20:20.lying OK. Just a little pop up onto the green. McIlroy in for a two.
:20:21. > :20:33.Back to 10-under par. Two behind. He is a showman. Colourful card.
:20:34. > :20:44.Eagles, birdies, part S Mac. -- pars.
:20:45. > :21:00.That's wayward shot at the six hole set him off on a bad rubber. -- had
:21:01. > :21:14.run. Back to living under-par. Nicely
:21:15. > :21:48.played from Shane Lowry. Club broke, hurt hand. A little
:21:49. > :22:02.unlucky. I think he has trapped his right thumb. Oh, dear. Often when
:22:03. > :22:04.you do that, the ball goes straight left. Not great, but could have been
:22:05. > :22:25.worse. Shane Lowry now one shot behind. It
:22:26. > :22:39.is a good one. Beautifully done. Bogey at the 9th.
:22:40. > :22:45.Coming in from right to left. Eliminating the back spinner.
:22:46. > :23:05.Another chance for Rory. Keep coming. Looks close. That is
:23:06. > :23:26.still a little bit away. This is his third to the 17th. He
:23:27. > :23:32.has given himself a chance. Sit down.
:23:33. > :23:42.A chance for Lowry to tie for the lead.
:23:43. > :23:53.Moving nicely. Yes, beautifully judged. Executed to perfection.
:23:54. > :24:03.Shane Lowry, back into a tie with Thomas Bjorn.
:24:04. > :24:18.This has a bit more break than you think. It had. Shane Lowry is now
:24:19. > :24:23.the outright leader again. Thomas Bjorn out in 39. He has been a
:24:24. > :24:35.master of the back nine and he will need to be. Larrazabal to save part
:24:36. > :24:43.of the 11th. It was way left off the tee. He came back onto the fairway.
:24:44. > :24:48.HNP second, but convicting -- unconvincing third.
:24:49. > :25:07.Stephen Gallacher to get to 10-under. Is it going to come? Oh!
:25:08. > :25:15.Just a little bit up the hill. Just a par at the 17th. A chance of a
:25:16. > :25:25.thrilling finish. Very handy looking card.
:25:26. > :25:39.You have got to take your chances. I think he thought he had it. Didn't
:25:40. > :25:46.do what he thought it was going to. In the space of half around, it has
:25:47. > :25:53.all turned around. Shane Lowry, the 27-year-old, has at one shot lead.
:25:54. > :26:00.Thomas Bjorn on Saturday showed us what he can do coming home. He will
:26:01. > :26:02.have to be a golfing Superman to turn things around. Hold your pays
:26:03. > :26:30.up, hold your pays up. -- pace. Shane Lowry, trying to get it to
:26:31. > :26:47.come down softly. And spinner. You did, baby, well done.
:26:48. > :26:55.It is not going to be his Championship. A bogey on the 17th
:26:56. > :27:16.bringing him to 7-under. Lowry to double his lead. He has
:27:17. > :27:19.done it. He now leads by two. He is glad he has brought the old put
:27:20. > :28:18.back. Royal Mac -- Rory McIlroy, a timely
:28:19. > :28:26.birder. Fantastic. Making birdies willy-nilly.
:28:27. > :28:52.Very short putt. Quite a long way down the shaft. Simon Dyson.
:28:53. > :29:06.This 466. The lowest round of the day. Takes him into a tie for fourth
:29:07. > :29:08.place. Not a bad live there. There is a bit more room than you think
:29:09. > :29:32.but it is still a tricky one. I was trying to get on with my game
:29:33. > :29:38.and shoot as low as I could. In terms of that four in a row, that
:29:39. > :29:46.was a highlight. I hit some good shots. Birdies are hard to come by.
:29:47. > :29:53.You have to capitalise when you can. On the whole, I am delighted with
:29:54. > :30:01.the weekend's work. We know about your club, but how is your hand? I
:30:02. > :30:04.knew a club had to get sacrificed. If I went short, I would have
:30:05. > :30:11.smacked my hand. That is what If I went short, I would have
:30:12. > :30:17.happens. What target did you set at 9-under? I am nowhere near that. I
:30:18. > :30:22.am glad to be in the top off of the top ten. Well played. We look
:30:23. > :30:28.forward to you keeping your Ryder Cup run going. McIlroy at the 13th.
:30:29. > :30:36.Huge drive. Shane Lowry leads by three. What a
:30:37. > :31:10.juicy runner. He is 14-under. McIlroy for birdie at the 13th. Oh,
:31:11. > :31:15.that was a big one, a big moment! Well now, if he can finish three and
:31:16. > :31:25.the rest of the holes in four, he could set a target that no-one will
:31:26. > :31:32.be able to catch. I think the locals know it as well. Get in there!
:31:33. > :31:38.Wonderful green, and the theatre around it, tremendous atmosphere.
:31:39. > :31:45.Licking his lips! 13th tee shot, championship leader.
:31:46. > :31:57.Is he tied up the left? He is. That is no place to be.
:31:58. > :32:08.You would have to bet on a dropped shot. Third shot for Thomas Bjorn.
:32:09. > :32:17.It looks good. Neatly done, should be OK.
:32:18. > :32:29.Dyson. This will take him around in six to six. -- 66.
:32:30. > :32:38.Oh, look at that. That looks like a dropout to me. You have not got far
:32:39. > :32:42.to drop, still faced with a difficult one if you drop it out,
:32:43. > :32:50.Ken. See how important straight driving is at crucial moments! Wrong
:32:51. > :32:59.hole to go left on. Two club lengths does not do him a lot of good. Luke
:33:00. > :33:13.Donald just taps in for a birdie. Ten under now. Bjorn for his birdie.
:33:14. > :33:21.Yes... Now be run for home begins. -- the run. This is intriguing. With
:33:22. > :33:25.Shane Lowry in the trees down the left side at the 13th, in the gorse
:33:26. > :33:32.bush, he looks like he will drop one, maybe two. It looks to be
:33:33. > :33:37.between those top four. Lowry has had a dropout of the gorse bush,
:33:38. > :33:42.playing three, a couple ahead, but I don't think for long.
:33:43. > :33:56.Steady, steady... That is all right. Good lie, got to float this because
:33:57. > :33:58.there is a slope behind the flag he could use. Fraught with dangers.
:33:59. > :34:08.Oh, man! Oh, man, that is absolutely sensational! Brilliant, brilliant,
:34:09. > :34:12.brilliant! Nearly the shot of the day.
:34:13. > :34:35.He might escape with just one drop. Oh, this is how they stand with only
:34:36. > :34:40.a handful left to play. Lowry might escape with just one drop shot, but
:34:41. > :34:47.it is so tight. Shane Lowry, with this putt for a one over par five.
:34:48. > :35:08.Always a dangerous tee shot, this 15th, out of bounds left and right.
:35:09. > :35:26.Lovely. He pictured it and played it, super shot.
:35:27. > :35:35.Lowry tapping in for his sixth, six at the 13th, costly, costly, a 3-way
:35:36. > :35:45.tie at the top. The famous Wentworth run in the faces them. -- run-in
:35:46. > :35:52.faces them. That is how it looks, 12 under par, McIlroy, Lowry, Thomas
:35:53. > :35:58.Bjorn. Luke Donald not far behind. Par fives to come. 14th tee, Shane
:35:59. > :36:04.Lowry will have to have a few deep breaths, gather himself together,
:36:05. > :36:08.get this on the green. Oh, I don't like the sound of that! It looks all
:36:09. > :36:13.right there, beautiful shot, beautiful shot!
:36:14. > :36:27.Down the 15th, McIlroy. Good tee shot, second shot coming up.
:36:28. > :36:36.Three or four good shots from somebody will do it. Oh, short,
:36:37. > :36:42.short, short. Down in two from there will be good. Just caught a little
:36:43. > :36:48.puff of went with wind. Went with wind! Henrik Stenson. Many people's
:36:49. > :36:55.favourite at the beginning of the week. Putting for eagle three, would
:36:56. > :37:03.you believe it?! Rolling it in, so suddenly eight under. One more at
:37:04. > :37:08.the next whole and he will be up with the big boys. -- hole. Big
:37:09. > :37:16.moment for Rory McIlroy, big swinging putt. Down in two would be
:37:17. > :37:22.very good after that slightly misjudged second shot.
:37:23. > :37:27.Well, that is pretty good, look at the big swing at the end. That is
:37:28. > :37:43.OK. The colourful back nine four Shane
:37:44. > :37:48.Lowry. Oh, yes, straight back into the lead! He sets himself free of
:37:49. > :37:56.the tensions of McIlroy and Bjorn, one ahead.
:37:57. > :38:08.A little chip for McDonald's, right-to-left downhill a little bit.
:38:09. > :38:19.-- McDonald. It looked good ten feet out, didn't it? 11 under, two off
:38:20. > :38:27.the lead, what a charge the last few holes are going to be. Not an easy
:38:28. > :38:37.one for Thomas Bjorn, coming off that fringe. Too much, is it? Just.
:38:38. > :38:46.Now, Rory, this is a little bit left to right, pace is important. That
:38:47. > :39:05.went right in the middle. Confident putt! Now, Bjorn's tee shot.
:39:06. > :39:33.Yes... Oh, no, steady, steady! Well, it was quite good ones. Now look at
:39:34. > :39:46.it go. It was within 14 feet at one time.
:39:47. > :39:55.Now he has got a tricky up and down. It is not lying too badly for
:39:56. > :40:03.Thomas Bjorn here in the bunker. The tee shots looked very good for a
:40:04. > :40:08.moment. Come back, comeback! -- come back! Well thought out by Thomas
:40:09. > :40:21.Bjorn, that should save par. Donald, then, difficult putt, down the
:40:22. > :40:24.slope. What a putt from Luke Donald! They and he gasped. What an effort
:40:25. > :40:31.from Luke Donald. Shane Lowry, one shot clear of
:40:32. > :40:59.McIlroy. He has got to get down in two. Well,
:41:00. > :41:07.he played a fierce one, but he is nearly five feet by.
:41:08. > :41:18.Right-to-left swinger, pace so important.
:41:19. > :41:39.Over to McIlroy for his par on the 16th. Right in the middle! So Rory
:41:40. > :41:49.McIlroy stays 12 under, Lowry will slip back. They will be tied, 12
:41:50. > :41:53.under par. Not too bad here or Luke Donald, it is sitting nicely, a
:41:54. > :42:06.fairly flat bit of ground and plenty of green to play with.
:42:07. > :42:14.And upslope to land it on. He would have expected nothing less than
:42:15. > :42:24.that. He should stay 11 under. Just tucked in one behind. McIlroy aiming
:42:25. > :42:32.at that tree in the distance. 40 odd yards to go. It is a big iron. He
:42:33. > :42:56.has got to carry it all the way. Well, it could have been in a worse
:42:57. > :43:02.spot. Now, can Thomas Bjorn move back into a tie for the lead?
:43:03. > :43:15.Oh! He gave that a go, whistling on by. Aggressive putt from Bjorn.
:43:16. > :43:18.Lowry here at the 16th, birdie putt for the lead.
:43:19. > :43:27.No. No, at this moment he is level with McIlroy Mobot he has got little
:43:28. > :43:46.tester. Very important little chip here. He
:43:47. > :43:49.has got to get over that bank. He has got a fair bit of room. Down in
:43:50. > :44:12.two would be brilliant. It looks fairly straightforward,
:44:13. > :44:19.this putt, as if anything is at this stage. Thomas Bjorn, shot gone. He
:44:20. > :44:27.gave that birdie putt a right old go, handy... And he has paid the
:44:28. > :44:36.price. With three holes to go, two behind McIlroy and Lowry.
:44:37. > :44:40.So two friends, McIlroy and Lowry, tied at the top. Thomas Bjorn is now
:44:41. > :44:56.two adrift. Oh, it fell in beautifully. That is
:44:57. > :45:05.very important. That could be the winning putt. One whole left. He is
:45:06. > :45:20.the outright lead at the moment. All to play for. Thomas Bjorn, second
:45:21. > :45:23.shot to the 16th. If ever he needed a good finish, he needs it now. That
:45:24. > :45:40.is not a bad start. Luke Donald, third shot at the 16th.
:45:41. > :45:46.Again, a magical short game of his. It is almost unfair, he plays them
:45:47. > :45:52.so well. Have another look at this. 's graffiti is short, played out to
:45:53. > :46:03.hear, nips it up, never looked anywhere else. Thank you very much.
:46:04. > :47:05.Massed crowds round this 18th green. Beautiful tee shot.
:47:06. > :47:14.Watch the reaction from the player. It may be went a bit right. Caught
:47:15. > :47:23.the bunker on the right. He is pretty good out of them bunkers but
:47:24. > :47:31.not the place to go. Lowry, to get to 13-under. A bit right. Well,
:47:32. > :47:41.hasn't got the greatest line. He is taking a gamble.
:47:42. > :47:56.Over the crest of the hill. That is nice, very nice. A chance for that
:47:57. > :48:04.super short game, Peter. It is a thing of beauty.
:48:05. > :48:19.Coming down beautifully. Left with one of those, Kenna. It is a tricky
:48:20. > :48:34.one to read. It was a difficult one on the
:48:35. > :48:43.upslope moving towards water. Quality.
:48:44. > :48:50.Don't count Thomas Bjorn out yet. He is 11-under. Eagles are available,
:48:51. > :49:04.birdies. Second to 17. He didn't quite get the flight he
:49:05. > :49:09.was after He didn't quite get the flight he
:49:10. > :49:17.shot. That for an eagle. Over ?200,000 is the difference
:49:18. > :49:33.between first and second prize. He has rolled it in. Two shot lead
:49:34. > :49:41.at the moment. What a comeback. What a day. 66. Not over, of course, we
:49:42. > :49:44.still have the last group coming up behind. Fabulous play from Rory
:49:45. > :49:58.McIlroy. Magnificent golf. Going for it. Two behind. This is a
:49:59. > :50:34.bold shot, perhaps reckless. I think reckless. Now, the magic
:50:35. > :51:01.with the wand. He knew it was slow and up the hill.
:51:02. > :51:09.Rory breathes a sigh of relief. It is going to take something magical
:51:10. > :51:11.from Luke Donald and Shane Reilly. Rory McIlroy in grand position on a
:51:12. > :51:19.course that he doesn't like. Landed it way short. Opened the door
:51:20. > :52:10.for one or two with that. Looks a good speed. How about that
:52:11. > :52:24.for Lynagh. What a stupid game it is. Wonderful. 68. He is going to be
:52:25. > :52:27.second at the moment. Thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord. Is there any
:52:28. > :52:43.more magic left? Oh! Memories of Lee Westwood going
:52:44. > :53:01.in the water when he won. This is going to be the last throw
:53:02. > :53:10.of the dice. Thomas Bjorn has two hole this.
:53:11. > :53:20.I don't think that looks too attractive. There you have it. Law
:53:21. > :53:24.-- Rory McIlroy comes through after a pressurised week. The champion.
:53:25. > :53:32.Well done. Played some brilliant stuff.
:53:33. > :53:44.Luke Donald, this faux pas. Nice finish. Good to see him finish with
:53:45. > :53:50.a par. -- this four par. Very strong finish.
:53:51. > :54:08.Good friends separated by a single shots. -- shots.
:54:09. > :54:17.In she goes for Thomas Bjorn. Amazing week for him. 23 birdies and
:54:18. > :54:33.one eagle. A good week for Thomas. There we are in the biggest
:54:34. > :54:39.tournament on the European Tour. The biggest star sits on top. Rory
:54:40. > :54:41.McIlroy, after a fascinating final day, ahead of his friends, Shane
:54:42. > :54:58.Lyra -- Shane Lowry. It is time to reward our champion
:54:59. > :55:09.here at Wentworth. Ian, it is been a challenging week but what do you
:55:10. > :55:16.reckon to your champion's efforts? Rory, great that you are our
:55:17. > :55:21.champion. Bow to the presentation of the trophy. Rory, this week of all
:55:22. > :55:28.weeks, for it to end so happily, how can you sum up your emotions? It has
:55:29. > :55:32.been a roller-coaster. On the golf course, it was nice, it was a
:55:33. > :55:39.release for me and I could go about my business and play the way that I
:55:40. > :55:45.wanted to. I knew my game was good coming it is -- coming in here
:55:46. > :55:49.coming off the back of America. Although I have come to a golf
:55:50. > :55:57.course that I haven't had much success, I played solid and
:55:58. > :56:01.everything came together. I held the putts at the right time. The other
:56:02. > :56:06.guys made some mistakes coming in. Everything felt my way and I am
:56:07. > :56:11.delighted to be standing here as a champion. You threatened a win so
:56:12. > :56:16.often this year. At the start of the day, seven shots behind Thomas
:56:17. > :56:23.Bjorn. It looked unlikely, to say the least. I wasn't expecting... I
:56:24. > :56:28.thought the way Thomas was playing, I thought it would be hard to get
:56:29. > :56:35.near him and I thought he wouldn't surrendered the lead. He made a
:56:36. > :56:39.mistake and it let a lot of guys back into it and I was able to take
:56:40. > :56:44.advantage of it more than anybody else. I played the back nine all
:56:45. > :56:54.week and I played well with them today. It was nice to see that
:56:55. > :56:57.finish. It has been a long time since victory on the European Tour
:56:58. > :57:03.and I wonder what this win represents to you in career terms.
:57:04. > :57:16.It is definitely up there with the first time I have one. -- 1-macro. I
:57:17. > :57:29.couldn't as car for a better one to win on the European Tour. -- have
:57:30. > :57:34.asked for a better one. It is great that I was able to do it this week.
:57:35. > :57:38.It has been a pleasure watching you this week. Rory and everyone else
:57:39. > :57:45.will be looking forward to a real summer of sport and you will watch
:57:46. > :57:53.much of it on the BBC. The open Championship is the one we are
:57:54. > :58:00.looking forward to. -- Open Championship.
:58:01. > :58:21.The luck of the Irish. Greg Norman, the champion from 1986. He has got
:58:22. > :58:25.it. Colds, black eyes are burning. Thompson puts the finishing touch to
:58:26. > :58:39.the play-off. Would you believe that. Brother. It is a double bill
:58:40. > :58:43.of major golf with the British open Championship for the women on the
:58:44. > :58:49.10th of July. Stacy Lewis defending her title that she won in style at
:58:50. > :58:57.Saint Andrews last year. Now it is all about Rory. McIlroy proving that
:58:58. > :59:01.for every cloud, there can be a silver lining. Goodbye.
