:00:29. > :00:41.Hello and welcome. For three decades the great names in golf have been
:00:42. > :00:47.pitching up here trying to win a premier event. It all adds up to
:00:48. > :00:58.great memories for these guys in particular.
:00:59. > :01:33.What a wonderful way to finish the round.
:01:34. > :02:04.Just... Like... That. He wins by five. A great victory. Well done,
:02:05. > :02:05.Miguel Angel Jiminez. PGA Championship, world number one,
:02:06. > :02:17.congratulations. We may have been coming to Wentworth
:02:18. > :02:25.for 30 years but this is in fact the 60th addition of the European
:02:26. > :02:28.tour's flagship event. Only four men have won it three or more times.
:02:29. > :02:46.Amongst them, Peter have won it three or more times.
:02:47. > :03:04.build-up began to watch the stars in action at the Pro-Am event. It was
:03:05. > :03:10.packed with famous faces. Footballers, Rugby World Cup
:03:11. > :03:29.winners, a who's who of sporting brilliance. But from Thursday, no
:03:30. > :03:39.more generous in -- pin positions. The field includes all but one of
:03:40. > :03:45.the winning European Ryder Cup side. They set out with great purpose on
:03:46. > :03:55.Thursday. Rory McIlroy has had his problems, but this was the highlight
:03:56. > :04:03.of an impressive day. An eagle, and something to smile about. Shane
:04:04. > :04:23.Lowry was also going well. Looking to turn around a grim season. This
:04:24. > :04:43.was one of ten birdies. Thomas Bjorn grounded out, with ten under,
:04:44. > :04:51.leaving halfway. -- leading. On this par-5 Rory McIlroy would again make
:04:52. > :05:04.eagle. And the leading home challenge was from Luke Donald. A 67
:05:05. > :05:08.leaves him six under, in the hunt. On the way home after missing the
:05:09. > :05:25.cut: although it does give Paul McGinley
:05:26. > :05:35.a chance to sit and keep tabs on his potential Ryder Cup team. Luke
:05:36. > :05:39.Donald has hit his stride. Rory McIlroy could lead to the top of the
:05:40. > :05:44.world rankings this weekend, Henrik Stenson is on five under, Ian
:05:45. > :05:50.Poulter is launching a challenge from eight behind. Martin Kaymer won
:05:51. > :05:57.the players championship a fortnight ago and will still have a chance at
:05:58. > :06:06.one under. When things began to move after the weather at today, so did
:06:07. > :06:20.Justin Rose. The US open champion warming up nicely for his defence of
:06:21. > :06:25.Pinehurst. Anders Hansen of Denmark and the recovery trail after wrist
:06:26. > :06:39.surgery. He has twice won this event and perfectly judged this tee shot,
:06:40. > :06:45.a shoo-in for birdie. We could see a lot of Jamie Donaldson today.
:06:46. > :06:52.Certain of a Ryder Cup place. This birdie took him to four under. Jonas
:06:53. > :07:02.Blixt of Sweden, renowned for his short game. And no wonder. This
:07:03. > :07:13.magical shot, moving him to six under. Shane Lowry, Thomas Bjorn,
:07:14. > :07:20.and Rafa Cabrera-Bello and not due to go out yet. Watching it all
:07:21. > :07:28.unfold after yet another unsettled start is our commentary team.
:07:29. > :07:44.A fourth shot for Thomas Bjorn on the opening hole. Heavy sand. A
:07:45. > :07:59.struggle. Luke Donald on the second spun back down the slope. So close.
:08:00. > :08:17.Wonderful shot, he may have saved par. Shane Lowry for a birdie at the
:08:18. > :08:27.first. What his partners would not do to be able to put down a four on
:08:28. > :08:34.the card. Problem is continuing for Rory McIlroy, this is what he must
:08:35. > :08:55.contend with on the second. He has done nicely to avoid dropping three
:08:56. > :09:04.shots on the first two. A very slow putt and a double bogey for Rafa.
:09:05. > :09:11.All sorts of problems on the first couple of holes for the leading
:09:12. > :09:25.group is. Thomas Bjorn, this for a bogey. Like those before him, it
:09:26. > :09:43.would be a double bogey. Not good. Rory McIlroy, yes, relief. Justin
:09:44. > :09:57.Rose. To go for London... -- to go four under... And he does. Exciting
:09:58. > :10:05.stuff. All change at the top, Shane Lowry on his own now after Thomas
:10:06. > :10:15.John's double bogey -- Thomas Bjorn. Henrik Stimson had a few
:10:16. > :10:53.problems. Tough going in the opening salvos of this round. Birdie in the
:10:54. > :11:06.bag. Anders Hansen, working hard for par. He loves this course. Loved it
:11:07. > :11:21.in its previous guys, -- guise, loss of the redevelopment. Very nicely
:11:22. > :11:44.done. Jamie Donaldson. Second shot on six. Will it come back? Yes. A
:11:45. > :12:05.good break, this is his third. Delightfully done. Superb. Jamie
:12:06. > :12:13.Donaldson on six. Just enough pace. That is a champion start from him.
:12:14. > :12:26.Trouble at the third, you could easily drop multiple shots if you
:12:27. > :12:39.are too greedy. That is not bad. Not bad at all. Richard Green, at the
:12:40. > :12:46.10th. Took that well. A neat looking player who should have done better,
:12:47. > :13:03.but makes a very good living. Anders Hansen. Don't go down the road. It
:13:04. > :13:11.is OK. It dog its heels in. But just look what he has left himself.
:13:12. > :13:25.Martin Kaymer, the 10th. And he will. Two under. Anders Hansen has
:13:26. > :13:36.won this championship twice. This is a horrid shot, he may pull it off
:13:37. > :13:47.with a miracle... And he has. Shane Lowry. Quickly out of the bunker.
:13:48. > :14:00.Good recovery. He leads by two. Thomas Bjorn has dropped back to
:14:01. > :14:13.eight under. Up the hill at the fourth, this for a birdie.
:14:14. > :14:25.Brilliant. Very awkward, now just for behind. Chris Doak. A Scotsman
:14:26. > :14:29.coached by Bob Torrance. She will be pleased to see that in the bottom of
:14:30. > :14:39.coached by Bob Torrance. She will be the cup. A first Thursday of the
:14:40. > :14:52.day. -- first birdie. Look normal, and the fourth.
:14:53. > :15:06.A good quality shot, landing a bit soft. Now our leader, putting for a
:15:07. > :15:22.power at third. Shane Lowry. This is very untidy -- par. Rory McIlroy
:15:23. > :15:27.with a medium to short iron. He never finishes off balance. It is
:15:28. > :15:36.remarkable when he hits it so hard. See that? Every time. You let it go
:15:37. > :15:46.off line, there is always a finish. Good shot.
:15:47. > :16:05.Always difficult to pick the breeze on the fifth. Under Sam. -- Simon
:16:06. > :16:21.Dyson. He has managed it -- Anders Hansen. Look Donald. He has got a
:16:22. > :16:33.chance. Well done. -- Luke Donald. A home from home. Here is the South
:16:34. > :16:39.African. Six under part-macro he goes. A regular winner down under.
:16:40. > :17:04.It is Thomas Aiken. -- par. Just lacking a little bit of pace.
:17:05. > :17:13.He gets one back. Go on, Rory McIlroy.
:17:14. > :17:24.This would be a great two for Anders Hansen. Oh no!
:17:25. > :17:38.It always seems to go against the slope.
:17:39. > :17:53.Rafa Carbrera-Bello has been sliding down the leaderboard. A chance here.
:17:54. > :17:58.Go on, then. Beautifully done. A wonderful chance for an eagle.
:17:59. > :18:04.Interesting outfit, all seems to work apart from what he has won his
:18:05. > :18:17.hand. He went for the dark green on the Masters. A good looking swing as
:18:18. > :18:33.well. Beautiful 's shot by the Swede. -- beautiful shot. Chris
:18:34. > :18:44.Doak. On the seventh. He has not pushed it! He started the walk of
:18:45. > :18:50.disappointment as well. Interesting swing, interesting natural swing,
:18:51. > :18:57.but great to watch. Shane Lowry has a line down there, went flooding in
:18:58. > :18:59.with his second. Lying OK, had some control on it, it landed on the down
:19:00. > :19:21.slope. Luke Donald. Lovely touch. Over a
:19:22. > :19:36.big ridge there. When in 11 and 12 here. -- winner.
:19:37. > :20:03.A lot of people have parted from this side. He has given it a good
:20:04. > :20:07.beat -- putted. A two-time winner of the European Tour, once as an
:20:08. > :20:12.amateur and once as a professional full Tom --. He will try to undo
:20:13. > :20:29.some of the damage. Beautiful second shot from 111.
:20:30. > :20:42.Converted well, back up to five under par. His third eagle this
:20:43. > :20:51.week. -- Rafa Carbrera-Bello. Jonas Blixt, wonderful tee shot on the
:20:52. > :20:57.fifth. He was in third place on his own. Three behind Shane Lowry.
:20:58. > :21:06.Shane Lowry back where he started at ten under par. Luke Donald is
:21:07. > :21:11.creating a real run at things alongside Thomas Bjorn. Jonas Blixt
:21:12. > :21:18.is also moving in the right direction, only three behind. Marc
:21:19. > :21:19.Warren who was tied for runner-up 12 months ago, also moving in the right
:21:20. > :21:39.direction. Thomas Bjorn. In over that left-hand
:21:40. > :21:41.bunker. That is wild. He has had a few wild at once to the left. He was
:21:42. > :21:58.not happy. -- wild ones. Let us have a look at his swing.
:21:59. > :22:06.Normally very reliable. He was set up to hit a soft draw. Watch how he
:22:07. > :22:14.comes down. Downswing on the same plane. Just closing the club face
:22:15. > :22:22.through impact. When he is on form, he hits very few bad shots. That was
:22:23. > :22:37.a stinker. Donaldson to save par on the eighth.
:22:38. > :22:50.Well, this is not going He had a chance. There was nothing
:22:51. > :22:57.he could do but open the blade. That is very well done. It would have
:22:58. > :23:04.been easy to catch that claim. Well played.
:23:05. > :23:18.Out to save par for Anders Hansen. A little bit shy, good effort. The
:23:19. > :23:27.shot will go for Anders Hansen. This would be a great up and down for
:23:28. > :23:33.Thomas Bjorn. I think he missed that putt in his head. In for a bogey.
:23:34. > :23:48.Ponytail peeping through of Marcel Siem. In she goes, the German gets
:23:49. > :23:51.an unlikely birdie to say the least. A couple of birdies now to offset
:23:52. > :24:11.two early bogeys. Four under par. Jonas Blixt. If you read this putt,
:24:12. > :24:18.very tricky to read. As he read it well? It just straightened out, cut
:24:19. > :24:33.a very little intricate slope. A little unlucky. He cannot believe
:24:34. > :24:33.it. A chance to get to five. Beautifully done for Pablo
:24:34. > :24:46.Larrazabal. Very awkward getting his second
:24:47. > :24:56.shot. This is Very awkward getting his second
:24:57. > :25:08.try at it. He has done it. He did it magnificently well.
:25:09. > :25:17.try at it. He has done it. He did it judged. Good position of bid tee.
:25:18. > :25:27.try at it. He has done it. He did it off. Wonderful shot from the
:25:28. > :25:31.Dutchman. Birdie guaranteed. Beginning to warm up nicely this
:25:32. > :25:35.afternoon. It is good to see the likes of Jonas Blixt up there, it is
:25:36. > :25:42.his first appearance in this Championship. He is predominantly
:25:43. > :25:50.based in America. It is proving successful so far. Richard green was
:25:51. > :26:02.a runner-up in the Spanish Open. -- Grain. -- Green.
:26:03. > :26:15.He came down the slope. Very nice. Very nice from Thomas Bjorn. Anders
:26:16. > :26:21.Hansen at the seventh. This to go six under. That was horrid. Getting
:26:22. > :26:36.a little twitchy, a bit early to get twitchy. Thomas Bjorn, a big putt.
:26:37. > :26:54.This is for birdie. He has it, just. The sun is shining now. Rory
:26:55. > :27:00.McIlroy, his second shot at the seventh. Just over the high part of
:27:01. > :27:20.the trees in front, that is easy enough to do. Up and over. That is a
:27:21. > :27:29.gem. Molinari has been quiet in the back nine, but he is going nicely.
:27:30. > :27:34.His third shot to the par five. He has it! Eagle time for Francesco
:27:35. > :27:42.Molinari. He goes to seven under for his round. A quiet smile. Jonas
:27:43. > :27:52.Blixt at the seventh. Par putt. Curled away. Very quickly. The shot
:27:53. > :28:22.is gone. Rory McIlroy to get to five under.
:28:23. > :28:26.Yes. Very topsy-turvy, but five under. Hanging very much at the top
:28:27. > :28:52.of the leaderboard. Thomas Aiken, ninth hole. Six under.
:28:53. > :28:59.A beauty. Oh yes, indeed! It is their! You little darling! What a
:29:00. > :29:07.lovely game. Suddenly, he is eight under. Would you believe it? Can he
:29:08. > :29:15.hold in his excitement? Let us have another look. His hands are very
:29:16. > :29:29.low. He waxed it. It looks as if it is going as far as the green. --
:29:30. > :29:31.whacks. In the hole it goes. He is praying for the best, and it is
:29:32. > :30:18.right. 111. -- Rafa Carbrera-Bello. He is nicely up the hill. Marcel
:30:19. > :30:28.Siem. Back-to-back birdies for the German with the jaunty hairstyle. A
:30:29. > :30:40.birdie attempt for Rafa Cabrera-Bello. He is clawing his way
:30:41. > :30:51.back. A double bogey at the start, but good work. The lead remains for
:30:52. > :31:03.Shane Lowry but it is getting crowded behind him. Francesco
:31:04. > :31:16.Molinari, going very nicely indeed. Anders Hansen at the eighth for a
:31:17. > :31:30.birdie, to go to six under. Yes! We have seen a few putts holed this
:31:31. > :31:37.afternoon. The sun is coming out, all is well.
:31:38. > :31:51.That was not 1 million miles away. Right over the flag.
:31:52. > :32:01.Jonas Blixt at the eighth, with the flag in a dangerous position. The
:32:02. > :32:11.green is sloping from right to left. Could go downhill, but a very nice
:32:12. > :32:26.shot indeed. Excellent play. Luke Donald. A simple pitch, just write
:32:27. > :32:38.of the flag. Right. -- right of the flag. Unlucky. Not bad.
:32:39. > :32:53.Francesco Molinari. Putting together a fantastic round. Here she comes. A
:32:54. > :33:06.little bit of safety but that was still a nicely played shot. A round
:33:07. > :33:20.of 64. McIlroy, down behind the eighth. Nice and crisp and precise,
:33:21. > :33:32.that should be a par. Thomas Aiken, from Johannesburg. He has got that,
:33:33. > :33:44.you know! He has won in South Africa and numerous times. Nine under.
:33:45. > :33:45.you know! He has won in South Africa Donald, just needs to turn a little
:33:46. > :34:22.bit. When on form, look very simple. Jonas Blixt, for a
:34:23. > :34:31.birdie. To go seven under par. That was always edging down that side. We
:34:32. > :34:34.have seen some wonderful shots, but some untidy hits and pieces also
:34:35. > :34:51.today. This, for a round of 64. some untidy hits and pieces also
:34:52. > :35:02.Molinari, left to right, down the slope. It will have to be 65. But a
:35:03. > :35:29.delightful round. slope. It will have to be 65. But a
:35:30. > :35:43.through the field today. -- floated. A nice, sensible shot to the heart
:35:44. > :35:57.of the green. The young Frenchman. Seven under par. An eagle at the
:35:58. > :36:04.last, they birdie at this one. Shane Lowry leads the way. But look
:36:05. > :36:12.halfway down, Francesco Molinari, 65. He is now with Hazel.
:36:13. > :36:22.How did you get it so right today when others were struggling? I don't
:36:23. > :36:34.know. I did not play well the first round. Did not score well. But today
:36:35. > :36:46.I managed to combine things. I am very happy with my round. The
:36:47. > :36:53.highlight was the chip at the 17th. The tee is reachable compared with
:36:54. > :37:00.other days. It was a little firmer than I wanted but was straight
:37:01. > :37:10.online. Went straight in, which is always nice. You are getting the
:37:11. > :37:13.measure of the West Coast. There were changes that other players were
:37:14. > :37:27.not so happy about what I enjoy playing here. -- but I enjoy. Today
:37:28. > :37:29.is another example of how I like it. You are in a good position for a
:37:30. > :37:58.strike tomorrow. Thank you. Always difficult to select a club at
:37:59. > :38:08.the 10th. Par three, 170 five yards. That is perfect, very well judged.
:38:09. > :38:20.Can be difficult to suss out. Shane Lowry for a par. Difficult to read.
:38:21. > :38:36.He has missed to the right. It is all change. Time now for the lead.
:38:37. > :38:57.-- Tied now. Anders Hansen. To stay at six under. All sorts today. But
:38:58. > :39:13.he remains in the picture. Marcel Siem. He has pulled that. Having
:39:14. > :39:43.been red hot on the greens. Just a par. Luke Donald. Could strike a
:39:44. > :39:52.beauty. Very fine. Andy Sullivan. Second to the 11th. This is good,
:39:53. > :40:03.this could really conquered from here. He was the star of the Walker
:40:04. > :40:18.cup matches. A great start to his professional career. Rory McIlroy
:40:19. > :40:28.has stamped that down well. Unlucky. A little scrappy but he is hanging
:40:29. > :40:44.in. Thomas Aiken with a monster putt. Only just within distance.
:40:45. > :41:02.Steady... A scrappy run for Jonas Blixt. Oh, my goodness. Thomas Aiken
:41:03. > :41:17.having another shot. This for a four. But not quite hard enough. His
:41:18. > :41:41.first dropped shot of the day. Luke Donald. To time the lead. --
:41:42. > :41:57.tie. A neat and tidy opening nine. All pars bar one eagle. Anders
:41:58. > :42:10.Hansen for par at the 10th. Just a little bit right... Yes. He stays at
:42:11. > :42:24.five under, in touch. Luke Donald at the 10th. Rory McIlroy has played a
:42:25. > :42:34.good one onto the green. Luke Donald seems to like that... He certainly
:42:35. > :42:42.does. Two beauties. Thomas Bjorn, third shot at the ninth.
:42:43. > :42:54.does. Two beauties. Thomas Bjorn, getting better... Beauty. Right to
:42:55. > :43:07.left, he has not hit that hard enough. Nothing much happening for
:43:08. > :43:14.him. Shane Lowry. To get back to level par for the day.
:43:15. > :43:22.him. Shane Lowry. To get back to one. But that was always slightly on
:43:23. > :43:35.the high side. Andy Sullivan. Moving this right to left. That is fine.
:43:36. > :43:40.Pop onto the table top. That next shot for an eagle. Thomas Bjorn for
:43:41. > :43:54.par on the ninth. She has something. shot for an eagle. Thomas Bjorn for
:43:55. > :44:03.Trust hanging in. -- just. But he has been made to scrap today. A very
:44:04. > :44:23.similar line for Luke Donald to his playing partner, Rory McIlroy. Gary
:44:24. > :44:39.Stahl, 15th. That was tentative. A wonderful swing to watch. Bazoom.
:44:40. > :44:55.That club is moving so fast! How about that, digging in? There it is.
:44:56. > :45:10.Plugged straight in. Not much roll. They hang time was extraordinary.
:45:11. > :45:22.This is too tied with Shane Lowry. -- to tidy. 10th, Shane Lowry. Just
:45:23. > :45:32.a bit of tell. None of the players have seen that. -- tilt.
:45:33. > :45:38.a bit of tell. None of the players Sullivan, at this for an eagle. It
:45:39. > :45:45.is going to be a birdie, a great opportunity. It will be three
:45:46. > :45:59.birdies in a row. A decent tee shot from Jonas Blixt. It is good. Tucked
:46:00. > :46:16.into a Rory McIlroy from a good angle, 320
:46:17. > :46:29.yards off bid tee. Can he get it in? -- off the tee. Tricky breeze,
:46:30. > :46:32.got the wrong direction. Marcel Siem, can he take advantage of this
:46:33. > :46:44.fairly gentle par five? He certainly can, the tricky bit is
:46:45. > :46:56.getting it onto this level. Eagle chance. Gary Stal. Six under.
:46:57. > :47:03.Playing on a small bit of the green. He played it magnificently. Their --
:47:04. > :47:10.very narrow portion of the green and he judged it nicely. The rain is
:47:11. > :47:19.beginning to fall on the 13th, this is Thomas Aiken. A bit tight on the
:47:20. > :47:28.trees on the left. On the right-hand side, though, and Thomas Aiken finds
:47:29. > :47:37.it. Come on Rory McIlroy, we need a little bit of sparkle. Has he hit
:47:38. > :47:45.it? You have! Lovely three par five to come. Nicely done.
:47:46. > :48:02.He is coming back. Gary Stal, not a very French name. Had to go to seven
:48:03. > :48:06.under. And nervous little parts-macro at the last -- putt. --
:48:07. > :48:16.a vary nervous. Jonas Blixt. parts-macro at the last -- putt. --
:48:17. > :48:27.chance at 11. He has done it, just enough pace to hold the line. Some
:48:28. > :48:32.rain is falling now. Six under. Not too far away, on the 12th green, it
:48:33. > :48:46.is chucking it down. Marcel Siem for an eagle. Looks good. Not good
:48:47. > :48:53.enough. Still a birdie. He will move up to six under par. They are
:48:54. > :49:01.crowding up behind Shane Lowry. Eight players tied on six under par.
:49:02. > :49:08.It is beginning to get a bit crowded. A 3-way tie for second
:49:09. > :49:20.place. You will see Andy Sullivan, three birdies in a row and he is
:49:21. > :49:28.firmly in the mix as well. Pablo Larrazabal, a chance to get to seven
:49:29. > :49:46.under. He deserved better. Thomas Aiken. 13th. He struck it well. Nice
:49:47. > :49:59.solid contact. This is thirdly in the extreme for Shane Lowry. --
:50:00. > :50:06.Siddeley. -- fiddly. He is delightful. He swings the club a
:50:07. > :50:16.long way and get it under the wall. Superb. Anders Hansen. Up she goes.
:50:17. > :50:31.Down she comes, gently. That is for his birdie. We have seen this putt
:50:32. > :50:43.held by Rory McIlroy. And by Thomas Bjorn! Thomas Bjorn moves alongside
:50:44. > :50:52.Shane Lowry, nine under par. He began the round ten under par. He
:50:53. > :50:53.has hung in there. The recent players champion, Martin Kaymer.
:50:54. > :51:17.Very popular. Once again, Thomas Bjorn and Shane
:51:18. > :51:18.Lowry are tied at the top. What ground has Francesco Molinari made
:51:19. > :51:35.up! Anders Hansen for his birdie. Astonishing record, three wins he
:51:36. > :51:40.has had on tour and two of them have been here.
:51:41. > :51:48.Shane Lowry, this to remain joint leader and he has done it. That was
:51:49. > :51:51.a wonderful up and down from the edge of the green. Thomas Bjorn and
:51:52. > :52:07.Shane Lowry both at nine under. Jonas Blixt second to this par five.
:52:08. > :52:11.He is going for it, Luke Donald has had to lay up. Jonas Blixt has one
:52:12. > :52:44.thing in mind. Thomas Aiken, just off the green at
:52:45. > :52:51.the 14th. Looks very difficult to me, but they manage to do it
:52:52. > :53:08.successfully. Going nicely. Rory McIlroy is third to the par 512.
:53:09. > :53:36.Justin Rose, birdie putt on the 18th. Had it going very nicely on
:53:37. > :53:41.the front nine, five birdies. Double bogey on the 11th halted him in his
:53:42. > :53:51.tracks. Couple of birdies coming back, a lot to do tomorrow. Jonas
:53:52. > :54:01.Blixt and his third shot at the par 12.
:54:02. > :54:14.He did better than I thought he would. Very
:54:15. > :54:23.That is how they stand coming towards the relatively close --
:54:24. > :54:29.relative close of the third round. The scores are tied, quite a few
:54:30. > :54:36.holes to be played. I wonder what the spread will be at the end of the
:54:37. > :54:45.day. Eagle on the first day, eagle on the second day. Just a birdie on
:54:46. > :54:52.the third day which takes Rory McIlroy out of that big group of six
:54:53. > :55:06.under, seven under par, alone, in fourth place. Two behind. This is to
:55:07. > :55:32.go to seven under, Jonas Blixt for birdie. Well done.
:55:33. > :56:04.can be dangerous alongside Rory McIlroy and Jonas Blixt. Shane Lowry
:56:05. > :56:14.can be dangerous alongside Rory laid up, but he went too far and
:56:15. > :56:22.tried to play a miracle shot. I do not know what he or she is doing
:56:23. > :56:28.there. Anders Hansen knocked it down to here.
:56:29. > :56:45.After the unmentionable, the shop is gone. Thomas Bjorn, third shot. It
:56:46. > :56:50.has done better than I thought it would, it was not a very good shot.
:56:51. > :57:12.He has had a wonderful short game, but that was a miscue. I can think
:57:13. > :57:14.of many a person who would not like this one. Let us see what Andy
:57:15. > :57:29.Sullivan thinks about it. this one. Let us see what Andy
:57:30. > :57:37.thinks that. Just a doddle! Potted like Ronnie O Sullivan. A deep
:57:38. > :57:47.screw, well done sir. That was supposed to be difficult. Have
:57:48. > :57:48.another look at this. In she goes. Never looked anywhere else. Shane
:57:49. > :58:16.Lowry. Power par. The leaders are struggling. This to
:58:17. > :58:22.go to ten. Suddenly, Thomas Bjorn, well out in front. Birdie on the
:58:23. > :58:35.11th and the 12, he will lead by two. Thomas Aiken. He needs to be
:58:36. > :58:45.firm. He got the line in Tarrant you wrong. -- entirely wrong.
:58:46. > :58:54.Never grounds the driver. Always hovers and smashes it away. Write
:58:55. > :59:16.down the middle, onto the down slope. A big hit from Thomas Bjorn.
:59:17. > :59:26.overlord, oh Lord! That was a poor first put. Wasn't far away.
:59:27. > :59:35.Situation ever changing. Thomas Bjorn, who has had some untidy holes
:59:36. > :59:39.is two ahead. Luke Donald going on his choirs, merry way. Thomas Aiken
:59:40. > :00:05.in creeping up. All to play for. A couple of good birdies on 11 and
:00:06. > :00:18.12. Luke Donald, tee shot at the 14th. Can he find the top level? He
:00:19. > :00:28.is short and right, is he? Yes, short and right. Steady. The
:00:29. > :00:51.leader. He likes it. Luke Donald with his long putt.
:00:52. > :01:09.Roller coasters. Up and down and round. This four two. Very good
:01:10. > :01:25.judge of pace. Thomas H ten at the 16th. -- Thomas Aitken. He was
:01:26. > :01:42.underneath it. 14th green, Rory McIlroy has had a long look at this
:01:43. > :01:53.putt. Up the slope. Having a look. Amphitheatre green, big crowds. Well
:01:54. > :02:00.done. Started with a double bogey. Since then, four bogeys. Excellent
:02:01. > :02:09.for Rory McIlroy. Good comeback. Thomas Aitken already had one go in
:02:10. > :02:11.the bunker. That is more like it. Ran on a bit. Not a bad position of
:02:12. > :02:27.the tea. This is a chance for a birdie at the
:02:28. > :02:34.13th for a three shot lead the Thomas. Sliding from left to right.
:02:35. > :02:43.He has done it. Brilliantly done for Thomas Bjorn. Opened the week with a
:02:44. > :03:10.62 course record. Unbelievable score. This is to go seven under.
:03:11. > :03:18.Simple game! Thomas Aitken, his trials and tribulations go on. Half
:03:19. > :03:25.a dozen from nowhere. Oh dear, come to morrow night that could be very
:03:26. > :03:35.expensive. 181 yards today. Part three up the hill.
:03:36. > :03:59.That is a crackerjack. Bit of grip as well. One of the best we have
:04:00. > :04:14.seen today. Big but here for Paul Lowrie. Henrik Stenson. 15 up the
:04:15. > :04:24.slope for a birdie. It is in. Golfer of the year last year. In Europe and
:04:25. > :04:32.the US. Has put a tidy run in. Right back in the tournament. They are all
:04:33. > :04:46.important, but this for a three at the 14th. It eventually disappeared.
:04:47. > :04:57.Things were beginning to slip. Stays at eight under, just three behind.
:04:58. > :05:14.Thomas Bjorn, currently the leader. This 42. Lovely roll across the
:05:15. > :05:23.surface. He now leads by four. A par at the 18th, having been in the
:05:24. > :05:36.water. Nudges it in. Youthful looking lad. And very good score. He
:05:37. > :05:45.did that without a chaperone. A flourish of birdies for Thomas
:05:46. > :05:59.Bjorn. Luke Donald is going on very steadily. 15th hole. Luke Donald's
:06:00. > :06:08.second shot. Long iron. He has played a beauty.
:06:09. > :06:14.second shot. Long iron. He has second at the 15th. Good view of the
:06:15. > :06:48.flag. Can pitch it right at the flag. Right online, I fancy. Little
:06:49. > :07:04.bit left that safely on. Jose Maria Olazabal. Sounds witty hard.
:07:05. > :07:11.bit left that safely on. Jose Maria very open club face. Little bit of
:07:12. > :07:13.drag on it. Beautifully done. He has one of the best short games in the
:07:14. > :07:21.world. Second in the Masters. one of the best short games in the
:07:22. > :07:29.Maria Olazabal for a par at the 16th. Has overdone it. These last
:07:30. > :07:37.few holes, we have seen people finished three, three, three.
:07:38. > :07:47.Everything. Everything can change over these last four holes. Rory
:07:48. > :07:57.McIlroy. 15th. Up the slope here for a birdie. He was coming back. I
:07:58. > :08:21.thought it was coming back into the cup. Stays at seven
:08:22. > :08:30.The green is a little bit slower today. Of course, being a bit
:08:31. > :08:33.softer. Little footprints at the end of the day. Not running quite as
:08:34. > :09:05.smoothly as they were earlier on. Luke Donald for his par. Extremes
:09:06. > :09:13.now, Henrik Stenson. Second shot. Very up and down round. Has all
:09:14. > :09:25.sorts of figures, scores, birdies and missed shots. But very much in
:09:26. > :09:35.the picture. The Welshman for a par at the final hole, Jamie Donalson.
:09:36. > :09:42.Well done. The Jolly Green giant. There he is. 68. Well done. Another
:09:43. > :09:51.one of the Gleneagles Ryder Cup. Thomas Bjorn, the leader by four
:09:52. > :10:00.shots. Beautiful line. Six iron by the looks of it. Big shot for a six.
:10:01. > :10:15.Maybe a three quarters five. I know, I did that myself once! I hope he
:10:16. > :10:25.has got a good lie here, Peter. Up you go! What a result. Now, it
:10:26. > :10:33.couldn't? ! Look at that! Paid a fortune for those choppers. What a
:10:34. > :10:46.man, Miss Green by 30 yards and then played a miracle shot like that.
:10:47. > :11:04.This for a birdie and read it well. Eight under. Well done. Henrik
:11:05. > :11:18.Stenson. Birdie putt. A twister. It fell in! Seven players now at six
:11:19. > :11:31.under par. Half of the field within eight shots. Fantastic. Thomas
:11:32. > :11:41.Bjorn, big swinging putt. Speed is very important. Hello! Hello! Well,
:11:42. > :11:46.what a difference. It must be his twin brother. This isn't the same
:11:47. > :11:59.fellow that was walking around three and a half years at -- three and a
:12:00. > :12:23.half hours ago. 18th and Crist Doak. Seven under. Has got a chance. It
:12:24. > :12:34.was turning in as well. That is how they stand. Thomas Bjorn striding
:12:35. > :12:39.away at the moment. Jamie, 68 to day. How do you view the situation
:12:40. > :12:46.going into the final day at Wentworth? I am in a decent
:12:47. > :12:49.position. The golf was up and down today, I did not play as well as I
:12:50. > :13:00.could have done, but I scored well. I held a lot of decent putts when I
:13:01. > :13:04.needed to. These are exciting times, because since you had your
:13:05. > :13:07.breakthrough on the European tour, you are doing great things in
:13:08. > :13:11.America and the European tour. And possibly eyeing up a place on the
:13:12. > :13:20.Ryder Cup team. What has changed the Jamie Donalson? Family,
:13:21. > :13:26.responsibility. I have two kids now. You look at life differently. Things
:13:27. > :13:33.are more important. My goal has been pretty good for a number of years.
:13:34. > :13:38.Everything has been clicking nicely. I found things worked and I kept
:13:39. > :13:42.working on them and I have in trying to improve, move up the world
:13:43. > :13:49.rankings and order of merit is every year. That is what I have been doing
:13:50. > :13:54.so I am happy with the progress. What sort of the target is a place
:13:55. > :14:01.on the European cup Ryder Cup team feel? It is massive. I am trying to
:14:02. > :14:08.play as well as I can each week to hit other targets and let everything
:14:09. > :14:21.else take care of itself. Not so small target of winning this
:14:22. > :14:26.tomorrow. Thomas Bjorn. Wonderful, wonderful shot. Skidding out there,
:14:27. > :14:37.I'll lower trajectory. He could not make it six in a row, could he? This
:14:38. > :14:51.is a devilish putt to read. The maestro here. He read it well. It
:14:52. > :14:59.holed out so well. Not too inviting, this. What has been gathering and
:15:00. > :15:04.leaves the sound a little bit more sticky. Still, to scoop it up, that
:15:05. > :15:13.was brilliant. I lovely touch from Shane Lowry 's. Hands of a genius.
:15:14. > :15:23.-- a lovely touch from Shane Lowry. Down the slope. Thomas Aiken. This
:15:24. > :15:28.is God a chance. It straightens up. A good try. -- this has got a
:15:29. > :15:51.chance. Close to the birdie, but it promised
:15:52. > :16:02.more. Six under. 15 and 16 were very costly. Canopy, can it be six in a
:16:03. > :16:08.row for Thomas Bjorn? -- can it be. Right to left. Straight in. Six
:16:09. > :16:23.birdies in a row and two par bides to come. Opened with 62. -- five.
:16:24. > :16:32.Such a good judge. Plays it magnificently. Coming out of the
:16:33. > :16:36.rough, not so much spend. Such a good judge of distance with his
:16:37. > :16:48.short irons. Lying nicely. Still awkward, you
:16:49. > :17:10.have to give this a bit of zip. A crisp sound.
:17:11. > :17:18.Not too much on it, a nice shot, though.
:17:19. > :17:30.Six shots is still the lead for Thomas Bjorn. He is not in too much
:17:31. > :17:35.trouble on the 17th. Rory McIlroy is looking for a birdies to get a
:17:36. > :17:41.little bit closer. Henrik Stenson did not happen today, one under for
:17:42. > :17:47.his round coming towards the end. Rory McIlroy for a birdie at the
:17:48. > :17:57.17th after a wayward tee shot. This would be some birdie if it rolls in.
:17:58. > :18:02.And it does. Would you believe it? Rory McIlroy has been a little
:18:03. > :18:04.untidy at times, but he is right there. One round to go, but one hole
:18:05. > :18:22.left. Donald for a birdie. Yes, well done.
:18:23. > :18:29.Red-hot leaderboard, one hole left. First birdie of the day.
:18:30. > :18:40.Now, Thomas Bjorn, you have had six birdies in a row, you have another
:18:41. > :18:47.one. And he is renowned for being very good from this distance. That
:18:48. > :18:54.is why. An lucky. Beautiful shot. -- unlucky.
:18:55. > :19:04.This is a bit more difficult than it looks, because it is a bit more of a
:19:05. > :19:16.dip that he is coming out of. Lovely hands, beautifully done.
:19:17. > :19:26.I am not sure we have seen transformations as big as this. This
:19:27. > :19:40.is for another birdie on the back nine. What a pity! Just was not as
:19:41. > :19:47.confident as some of the others. He wanted that one to be home in 29. It
:19:48. > :19:55.has not been done many times on this course many times.
:19:56. > :20:09.A superb drive from McIlroy. A towering shot.
:20:10. > :20:25.Oh dear, where has it gone? Did he push it? Shane Lowry, trying to say
:20:26. > :20:26.short of the bunkers. -- stay short. Asking it to land softly, and it
:20:27. > :20:40.does. Luke Donald, pitching down the
:20:41. > :20:50.green. It is running well. Just to well. Just got it a little bit heavy
:20:51. > :20:54.and the grass rolled it on. A good line,
:20:55. > :21:30.Good position. Quite a way back, not bad. McIlroy and his third shot up
:21:31. > :21:38.and down for a birdie. -- but it did not work. Not using a driver. He
:21:39. > :21:43.desperately wants that, if he holds that, he could get into the
:21:44. > :21:50.penultimate group tomorrow. He is not going for the green. He is a
:21:51. > :22:03.great wage player as well. Put yourself in position. -- wedge. Just
:22:04. > :22:09.off the edge of the fairway. Luke Donald for a birdie at the 18th. Can
:22:10. > :22:23.he get to ten under? He can! Brilliant. 68. The crowds have
:22:24. > :22:24.stayed on, which is very nice to see considering the lateness of the
:22:25. > :22:38.hour. Shane Lowry, going for it, the green
:22:39. > :22:44.is clear. Great position, the bailout is just hanging out to the
:22:45. > :22:58.right. Down he goes. It is in the bunker, not too bad there.
:22:59. > :23:05.Only an eagle would get him into the final group tomorrow with Thomas
:23:06. > :23:14.Bjorn, after that birdie from Luke Donald. He has got lovely hands. He
:23:15. > :23:24.has a typical Irish wing, lots of movement in the swing. -- swing.
:23:25. > :23:26.Lots of use of the hands. Not quite Christy O'Connor, but that sort of
:23:27. > :23:49.idea. He is a bit more classic. Thomas Bjorn laid up after being
:23:50. > :23:54.some way back off the tee. All was going to air on that side and that
:23:55. > :24:04.is a fine shot. Another birdie chance for Thomas Bjorn -- err. He
:24:05. > :24:11.and Shane Lowry were tied at the top. What a finish Luke Donald has
:24:12. > :24:16.had. He is talking to Hazel now. You had to be patient and your reward
:24:17. > :24:20.came later, how important were the birdies? Every time I looked at the
:24:21. > :24:27.board, Thomas had made another birdie. He was on a great run. I did
:24:28. > :24:31.not want him to far ahead of me. It was important to be in the last
:24:32. > :24:34.group tomorrow, obviously depending on what they do, but I think I will
:24:35. > :24:41.be in the last group tomorrow and that is where I wanted to be. You
:24:42. > :24:49.know how to win this, how much that this place is associated with
:24:50. > :24:54.success in your head? 2011 was my best year. Winning here and getting
:24:55. > :24:59.to number one was a great feeling. I have so many good memories. Coming
:25:00. > :25:05.back and defending the next year was pretty special. To win here three
:25:06. > :25:10.times would be very good. I have a tough task ahead of me, Thomas Bjorn
:25:11. > :25:13.is playing good golf and he has a few shots on me. You
:25:14. > :25:19.is playing good golf and he has a working a lot of swing changes with
:25:20. > :25:25.your new coach, do you think they are driving through? I am starting
:25:26. > :25:28.to see results. Any time you can go bogey free and head a decent amount
:25:29. > :25:36.of their ways, G becomes easier. bogey free and head a decent amount
:25:37. > :25:38.watch, but it was a stress free 68. We look forward to seeing you
:25:39. > :25:47.tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you
:25:48. > :26:01.Donald and Thomas Bjorn, unless Shane Lowry can hold this. He pops
:26:02. > :26:08.it down, nicely done. Looking ahead to a great summer of sport and golf.
:26:09. > :26:25.The Open Championship on the BBC at Hoylake. The luck of the Irish! The
:26:26. > :26:43.champion for 1986. He has got it! Those cold black eyes. Thomson puts
:26:44. > :26:47.the finishing touch to the play-off. Would you believe that? He has done
:26:48. > :27:02.it! Looking forward to that. Four
:27:03. > :27:10.wonderful days, can Thomas Bjorn finish with a birdie? Yes, he can!
:27:11. > :27:20.Well done! Home in 30. That is a remarkable comeback. He has come
:27:21. > :27:35.back, he must have had a Morris bar or something. Amazing. That Mars
:27:36. > :27:40.Bar. 67 under. Almost even more impressive after that struggle
:27:41. > :27:45.today. Rory McIlroy will be in contention going into the final
:27:46. > :27:48.round. He is speaking to Hazel. You began with a double bogey, but how
:27:49. > :27:53.round. He is speaking to Hazel. You proud were you of the fightback? I
:27:54. > :27:58.was very happy. It was not the start I was looking for. I wanted to have
:27:59. > :28:05.a faster start and try and take advantage of some of the easier
:28:06. > :28:08.holes. I fought back well. Playing the last 14 holes, in five under par
:28:09. > :28:18.was a good effort. Not the last 14 holes, in five under par
:28:19. > :28:22.leaders, but still a solid round. What are you most satisfied with?
:28:23. > :28:26.Everything. I did not know what to expect this week and it is not a
:28:27. > :28:33.golf course I have had much success on, so I did not know what to
:28:34. > :28:40.expect, but my game has been solid. Mentally, I feel like I have done
:28:41. > :28:44.pretty well. I have not let any bad shots get to me and I have stayed
:28:45. > :28:52.patient when I needed to. I have been happy with that. Good luck
:28:53. > :28:57.tomorrow. Both Rory McIlroy and Thomas Bjorn have bad record here,
:28:58. > :29:03.not so Luke Donald who has won twice here in the last three years and he
:29:04. > :29:10.has another chance tomorrow. He is five shots behind Thomas Bjorn. Very
:29:11. > :29:17.strong leaderboard going into the final round. These players might
:29:18. > :29:24.have a chance, but most of them are bit too far back. We are coming to
:29:25. > :29:37.the end of our transmission, tomorrow there is a peek at the
:29:38. > :29:42.amazing career of Charley Hull. That is on BBC Two at 5:30pm tomorrow.
