Good evening. These are exciting times for British golf and the

:00:29.:00:34.

English golf in particular. It is only six weeks since Sheffield's

:00:35.:00:38.

Danny Willett was living on the green jacket at Augusta as Europe's

:00:39.:00:42.

first win of the Masters tournament for nearly 17 years and only the

:00:43.:00:47.

second Englishman ever, following -- following Sir Nick Faldo. There was

:00:48.:00:50.

great anticipation and excitement following that of the new major

:00:51.:00:56.

appearance on the home greens at the prestigious Wentworth Club. This

:00:57.:01:01.

place is, once again, for the 36th year, staging the European Tour

:01:02.:01:05.

prize BMW PGA Championship. Always a highlight of the week is

:01:06.:01:10.

the Wednesday pro-am. Some laughs and we got to enjoy their fellow

:01:11.:01:18.

company from stars of cricket and sprinkling of stardust from the

:01:19.:01:22.

likes of a member of One Direction. And it was the Irishman's group. And

:01:23.:01:28.

it was Colsaerts who took the programme honours this time. I'm

:01:29.:01:34.

sure Nile Wilson penning a best ever song again after that.

:01:35.:01:43.

The serious stuff got underway on Thursday morning for the Dubai

:01:44.:01:46.

rankings. The first day was a fine day and the

:01:47.:01:51.

chance for the players to attack the West Coast. It is best to have a bit

:01:52.:01:58.

of power for this and Australian Scott Hend has plenty. He set the

:01:59.:02:02.

pace. He led for a while on his own but was eventually joined by a major

:02:03.:02:08.

winner, YE Yang. Here you started with a bogey at eight birdies

:02:09.:02:17.

followed. -- he started. A total of nine further Joost Luiten to make it

:02:18.:02:27.

at the top. This man opened with a 4-under 68. The name making most

:02:28.:02:30.

headlines was that of Danny Willett, the new master opening with a bogey

:02:31.:02:36.

free, 66, to sit behind the trio of first-round leaders. Day two brought

:02:37.:02:42.

an early start for Willett and what a start for the early-morning crowd.

:02:43.:02:47.

He would falter coming back, taking ten shots more to reach the

:02:48.:02:51.

clubhouse but a 68 left him 10-under, now leading on his own,

:02:52.:02:55.

and coping with his new-found home. -- found fame. A use to be to do my

:02:56.:03:01.

own thing but now people are saying, tell me what you're doing, which is

:03:02.:03:05.

fine, is part and parcel, it's what I should expect, but it is new is a

:03:06.:03:10.

concept. And he should soon have new company at the top of the

:03:11.:03:16.

leaderboard. A closing eagle took his fellow player to 10-under. And a

:03:17.:03:23.

steady 69 left Yang on the same mark. The Scott Jamieson, he was

:03:24.:03:30.

inch perfect on the ten. Having missed his last four cuts, you would

:03:31.:03:34.

make the weekend here and can drive home on Sunday night in his

:03:35.:03:38.

brand-new prize. Well, despite those hiccups, the

:03:39.:03:43.

Masters champion Danny Willett still at the head of the field.

:03:44.:03:51.

He has some good company. YE Yang playing only his fifth event of the

:03:52.:03:59.

year. But seven men within five shots off the lead. Among them two

:04:00.:04:05.

of the hottest players of the year. Also within striking distance the

:04:06.:04:10.

likes of two-time champion Luke Donald and fellow former world

:04:11.:04:14.

number one Lee Westwood. Matthew Fitzpatrick and Graeme McDowell

:04:15.:04:19.

eight behind, wealth offending champion from career is on level

:04:20.:04:27.

par. Last night Scotland's Paul Lawrie and Russell knocks were left

:04:28.:04:31.

out. Much of the intrigue centres on

:04:32.:04:39.

whether Danny Willett can convert his co-lead into a third victory of

:04:40.:04:43.

the year. How well is he handling his new status as a major winner? So

:04:44.:04:48.

well. It must be so difficult because suddenly from nowhere

:04:49.:04:51.

everybody wants a piece of you, you have to be out, have to do this, do

:04:52.:04:56.

that. He has a new son as well. But he is handling it fantastically well

:04:57.:05:00.

and wherever you come and play, when you are the centre of attention, it

:05:01.:05:05.

must be so difficult. And it takes Major winners to find their feet --

:05:06.:05:09.

a bit of time to find their feet, and, as you say, it is the grist

:05:10.:05:14.

sharper scrutiny, the expectation and the fact he is the highest

:05:15.:05:18.

ranked player in his field. This is a fantastic trophy to have on your

:05:19.:05:23.

cabinet. He would like to win this. He was writing there last week in

:05:24.:05:25.

Ireland and he is writing here this week. His play on 29 was fantastic.

:05:26.:05:32.

A fantastic effort. So he is right there, 10-under par, so he has to

:05:33.:05:38.

have two good rounds. Well, what would this day bring? Let's bring

:05:39.:05:43.

you up to speed. Two-time champion Martin Kaymer was

:05:44.:05:46.

up to speed and he's found some form recently. He began the day 4-under

:05:47.:05:51.

par after being this last week in Ireland. Close enough for a first

:05:52.:05:55.

birdie of the day with the German on the move five behind.

:05:56.:06:00.

He hasn't won a regular event in five years but pushed on. An equal

:06:01.:06:07.

chance gratefully taken and suddenly the Ryder Cup hero only three away

:06:08.:06:12.

from the top on 7-under par. He is very much in the picture. And this

:06:13.:06:18.

is modern's 10th appearance here at one with in the Championship. --

:06:19.:06:27.

Martin's 10th appearance. So only two off the pace now, which is being

:06:28.:06:31.

maintained by playing partners Danny Willett and Scott Hend. Both at

:06:32.:06:40.

10-under. YE Yang is a shot behind. Let's joined the commentary team.

:06:41.:06:51.

Thank you, his name. And at last Willett is ready to play. A simple

:06:52.:06:54.

looking shot. Short iron, could be well down the shop. Pulls his watch

:06:55.:07:02.

hand into that left-hand. Doesn't tuck his arms in very quickly. It

:07:03.:07:07.

seems to go to the left. That's on the green. A good shot. That nice

:07:08.:07:21.

for putt at the second seems to have settled Yang. This is his second for

:07:22.:07:36.

the third. This could be very close. This could dot mac oh, unlucky. A

:07:37.:07:46.

slightly Augustan type shop there. -- shot. This is not easy, playing

:07:47.:08:03.

maybe a 4-iron. I don't know. Will it get up? That's good. Delightful.

:08:04.:08:11.

Lovely birdsong. I suppose they are watching as anxiously as we are!

:08:12.:08:19.

Second up to the third. Nature's chorus watching in this green. Has

:08:20.:08:27.

been here 19 times. Look at those two cracking shots. One went one

:08:28.:08:29.

way, one went the other. Willett for his two at the second.

:08:30.:08:49.

Tricky to read, this one. Tracking a good turn just as he gets to the

:08:50.:08:53.

hole, straightens up. Caught so many people out today.

:08:54.:09:03.

This putt to go 6-under. And he's done it. He really is becoming a

:09:04.:09:11.

formidable player. Used to be a bit nervy but seems to be better.

:09:12.:09:25.

Now the Tour one from Bristol. -- tall. Chris Wood. What a beauty.

:09:26.:09:35.

Flag on the lower level, as yesterday. Kaymer at the seventh.

:09:36.:09:42.

This is a critical one. A marvellous save in front of the Green and he's

:09:43.:09:47.

done it with a super up-and-down from an awkward spot. Keep the

:09:48.:09:51.

momentum of the round going. Just two behind. The birdie at the third

:09:52.:10:04.

after that excellent second. Just on the top side. This our side.

:10:05.:10:10.

Right-hand side. Like that. Very smoothly done. Looks so easy,

:10:11.:10:14.

doesn't it? Yang's birdie putt. Now, he came

:10:15.:10:33.

back off the slope... Ooh! He looks a bit edgy on those. Little body

:10:34.:10:39.

movement. A bit of cha-cha-cha. But in it went. Willett's third shot.

:10:40.:10:48.

Found the deep, deep bunker on the right. Could only get it out some

:10:49.:10:50.

yards. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:10:51.:11:16.

I just think it was like on the soft.

:11:17.:11:24.

Read it perfectly. Well done! Looked like it was running out of puff.

:11:25.:11:31.

Just enough pace and that takes into 7-under. -- takes him to.

:11:32.:11:42.

Chris Wood after a lovely tee shot at the 14th for a par-3. Bang! Well

:11:43.:11:53.

done. Nicely done, Chris. Won a lovely BMW last year. Moves to

:11:54.:11:58.

5-under. This really is a bunker. This isn't

:11:59.:12:03.

one of those flat, pussycat things. This is one of those big ones! Well

:12:04.:12:07.

played. Easy when you know how. Well, after that splendid third

:12:08.:12:32.

shot, Willett has this to remain up at the head of affairs.

:12:33.:12:38.

Yeah. Well done. Turns to the caddy, a little chatter... May be short of

:12:39.:12:47.

a word or ten! Van Zyl. Beautifully done. Both

:12:48.:13:05.

players dealing with the sand very well. Four tied now for the lead on

:13:06.:13:11.

par. He joins Yang and Willett. Campillo is third. He's getting

:13:12.:13:29.

there slowly. Just has to drop one stroke. So, there we are. Four out

:13:30.:13:43.

in front 10-under par. Kaymer in hot pursuit as well. A big-name making

:13:44.:13:45.

his move today. That's a good tee shot from Julien

:13:46.:14:09.

Quesne on that hole. Going for it. And getting it. So, a chance to

:14:10.:14:21.

finish birdie, birdie, eagle. Well, van Zyl stabbing it in there

:14:22.:14:33.

and there it goes. A sorry effort. 18th and it's going to be a fiery

:14:34.:14:38.

finish for Julien Quesne. This, an eagle for the last. Scheduling up.

:14:39.:14:49.

-- rolling up. Now, van Zyl has just joined the leaders on 10-under and

:14:50.:14:58.

needs to -- this is to stay there. So, back to 9-under for the South

:14:59.:15:03.

African. A bogey on the second, a couple of birdies on three and four

:15:04.:15:08.

and then this bogey on the fifth. He goes one shot behind now. Now, Yang

:15:09.:15:18.

deserved better from his little pitch. Just didn't go up the pitch

:15:19.:15:23.

for enough. Does move a lot, doesn't he? That ball was well wide.

:15:24.:15:30.

The last hole. Birdies at the last three. Moves him to 6-under.

:15:31.:15:40.

Currently tied for sixth position. I said they make a few quid on a

:15:41.:15:47.

Sunday! Round in 67. Kaymer has been looking fairly hot. Looking to close

:15:48.:15:53.

this out with another birdie to get within one of the leaders. He

:15:54.:15:58.

thought he had that. We did as well. It'll be a par and an outward nine

:15:59.:16:02.

of 31. Putting himself right in contention today. Willett and Hend

:16:03.:16:21.

tied in the lead. Chris Wood with a good chance on the 17th. He's in

:16:22.:16:28.

that group at six and under. Yang in the middle of the bunker, so should

:16:29.:16:32.

be able to get it out. And he does. Needed to be quick. That's a

:16:33.:16:41.

magnificent effort, a magnificent shot. Running out. Well, you won't

:16:42.:16:46.

see many better than that today. That was high-quality. We have the

:16:47.:16:56.

details. A 14 inch drop, this putt. Doesn't sound much but it is quite

:16:57.:16:57.

quick for Danny. Just caressed it. A double break and

:16:58.:17:13.

in it goes! A beautiful putt and wonderfully read by Danny Willett.

:17:14.:17:17.

Came back a bit and he judged it superbly and Danny Willett with his

:17:18.:17:20.

first birdie of the day. He leads on his own. A bit of movement in this

:17:21.:17:29.

one. You can see where Peter Hanson is aiming. That pinned so close to

:17:30.:17:34.

the water today. Wonderful. Wonderful putt by the Swede. Second

:17:35.:17:40.

birdie of the day for him. He's up to 7-under, no drop shots. But

:17:41.:17:48.

taking that flag on the eighth. After a brilliant shot out of the

:17:49.:17:53.

fairway bunker to get within one... Very slow up the hill.

:17:54.:18:10.

Forward momentum for the Masters champion Danny Willett. On Friday he

:18:11.:18:16.

led the Championship by five shots and he's been pegged back but now he

:18:17.:18:20.

has his nose in front by a single shot once again.

:18:21.:18:30.

If he's not too far away he should... He has clipped the top of

:18:31.:18:37.

it. A little greedy. Must have been right up against it with his second

:18:38.:18:38.

on the 11th. This is an awkward one. If he can

:18:39.:18:53.

get this on the Greenhill have played a mighty good shot. -- on the

:18:54.:19:04.

green, he will have played. And he has. And that will go through the

:19:05.:19:10.

back. Might not be all that bad. It scuttles through the back. Tricky to

:19:11.:19:22.

get down in two. So many deliberations over this shot for

:19:23.:19:27.

Danny Willett. Just over the edge. 125, 130. Too much spin and it might

:19:28.:19:30.

come all the way back down the slope. Try to get it beyond the

:19:31.:19:40.

flag. There we go. Very nicely played.

:19:41.:19:54.

Kaymer to drop just one... A catalogue of errors on the 11th hole

:19:55.:20:04.

the Kaymer. And his round had been so impressive as well. A real shame.

:20:05.:20:14.

But perhaps of his own making. Now, Danny Willett on the seventh. Some

:20:15.:20:18.

trouble for his playing partner Scott Hend. But Willett for his

:20:19.:20:23.

birdie. He's given it a race. Not too far

:20:24.:20:39.

from going all the way down the front. Now, Chris Wood. Came out of

:20:40.:20:53.

the bunker to here for his closing birdie. A very good chance here on

:20:54.:21:00.

the 18th. Could have been a miraculous finish. Birdies on the

:21:01.:21:04.

14th and 16th as well. But still a 68 for Chris Wood. He sits alongside

:21:05.:21:11.

Julien Quesne. He is in that group of 6-under par but could have been

:21:12.:21:17.

better. Here's the result of that little chip from Scott Hend. No...

:21:18.:21:25.

That's gone on as well. At least one shot will go for the Australian.

:21:26.:21:40.

Testy putt for Willett. This for a par.

:21:41.:21:48.

Now, Scott Hend to drop just one on the seventh, which he manages, but

:21:49.:22:12.

he is down in that group of 9-under. Two behind Danny Willett. So,

:22:13.:22:18.

slipping away from Danny Willett a little bit. Chris Wood with his 68,

:22:19.:22:30.

leaving him 6-under par and having a chat with Hazel.

:22:31.:22:34.

A five hyphen five finish in that round and I sensed a bit of

:22:35.:22:40.

frustration today, would I be right? I've played lovely today. I didn't

:22:41.:22:44.

birdie one par five. So the par fives here are very score full. I

:22:45.:22:51.

had a 5-iron into 18 and it caught the bunker by a yard and then a yard

:22:52.:22:55.

further left and it's maybe five feet away. Yeah, it's frustrating

:22:56.:22:58.

when you feel like you leave a few out there.

:22:59.:23:05.

Kaymer for a birdie at the 12th and he gets it. Thank goodness for that.

:23:06.:23:13.

Dropped two strokes at the last hole and now back to 7-under. Note of the

:23:14.:23:21.

14th, and Thomas Aiken. -- now to the 14th. The South African moves to

:23:22.:23:25.

6-under. A big group on 6-under. Well, Yang taking the aerial route

:23:26.:23:45.

here on the ninth. A lot of trees have been cleared out there to the

:23:46.:23:51.

left-hand side. Silver birch trees. Keep on rolling.

:23:52.:24:00.

Up to the 18th. Hatton, who has had a super round. It just ran out of

:24:01.:24:13.

steam. That is a par five finish. A good round of golf from Tyrrell

:24:14.:24:19.

Hatton. He'll be our late tomorrow. 8-under. A good round, 66. -- out

:24:20.:24:29.

late. Yang on the ninth for a par. No. After a good tee shot, Mr

:24:30.:24:39.

Greenwald Lee for the left. -- missed the green wildly. Another

:24:40.:24:49.

shot dropped. Nine holes played. Should have done better. Now, this

:24:50.:24:58.

is what you call an up and under. You have to flip it up quickly or

:24:59.:25:03.

you can roll it up over the bank. That's delightful. It is so, so

:25:04.:25:08.

tricky. Impossible to leave it shot without leaving it in the bunker

:25:09.:25:15.

almost. Can he finish it off, van Zyl? Can he save his par here at the

:25:16.:25:22.

ninth? No. That was never running at the hole, was it? Very scrappy.

:25:23.:25:34.

Willett. Second to the ninth. A flattish green. A straightforward

:25:35.:25:48.

shot. Well, I find it hard to believe these talented players with

:25:49.:25:52.

a short iron and that really is very poor.

:25:53.:26:09.

Yang, second. Right at the 10th. That left for a par three. Danny

:26:10.:26:27.

Willett's third shot to the ninth. The leaders are struggling. This

:26:28.:26:30.

isn't easy. Shouldn't have been here. Sounded fluffy. That's the

:26:31.:26:44.

price you pay for a poor second. But you're not alone, Daniel.

:26:45.:26:52.

Yang is hanging in there but only just. Straight across the face of

:26:53.:27:01.

the hole. So bogeys at nine and ten and he drops to 7-under. Ten, minus

:27:02.:27:03.

ten. The first Asian player to win a

:27:04.:27:22.

major Championship. The PGA in 2009. The last pair out here on the ninth.

:27:23.:27:35.

For this shot for Willett. -- fourth shot. No. Well, from a beautiful

:27:36.:27:42.

drive in the perfect spot... That's not dead yet. That's three, four

:27:43.:27:53.

feet away. This is how it looks at the minute.

:27:54.:27:58.

Danny Willett dropping a stroke. He leads by one from Scott Hend.

:27:59.:28:01.

Tyrrell Hatton had a wonderful round at 66 and he is with Hazel.

:28:02.:28:08.

So, congratulations. A whisker off the 65 and what a back nine for you

:28:09.:28:14.

today. Yes, very happy with that. I think it's my lowest round here.

:28:15.:28:17.

First round in the 60s so very pleased. How special is it to

:28:18.:28:23.

produce a performance like that? And at a place that I know is really

:28:24.:28:26.

special for you. Tell everyone why you love this place so much. I've

:28:27.:28:30.

been walking around this place since I was five and I was in awe of the

:28:31.:28:35.

guys inside the ropes, and for me now playing my third BMW PGA, it's

:28:36.:28:42.

great. I love this event. COMMENTATOR: Second to the 10th and

:28:43.:28:46.

this is awkward. Where is he going to land it? How is it going to

:28:47.:28:47.

bounce? Westwood, nearing the end of his

:28:48.:29:17.

round. And that is well done, 6-under, another birdie at the last

:29:18.:29:27.

And he will be cheerful tomorrow. A small 1-shot lead.

:29:28.:29:33.

Has he got it? Oh, no! I thought it might just run out. He dropped to

:29:34.:29:44.

9-under. Scott Hend joint leader. A puff of wind behind us not help

:29:45.:30:04.

Yang, trying to land it softly on the green. Trying to get it to come

:30:05.:30:08.

down softly. He does, a little upslope, could not have pitched that

:30:09.:30:16.

better. He will have an equal chance. Standing a little below the

:30:17.:30:22.

ball, Scott Hend. It will move a little bit to the left in the F. Oh,

:30:23.:30:29.

dear, yes! Look at that! Foot further, it would have stuck in the

:30:30.:30:35.

rough and been nigh on impossible. A birdie chance, wonderful shot from

:30:36.:30:40.

Scott Hend. Jaco van Zyl, the yawning bunker short of the flag,

:30:41.:30:44.

but he has seen his playing partner put a very good shot in here.

:30:45.:30:51.

Elegant swing, a cry of, be good. Landing so softly. Just hanging on.

:30:52.:31:07.

On the very edge of the green. It is going to break hard to his right. He

:31:08.:31:11.

will stab it forward. Too difficult. It better sit down or

:31:12.:31:21.

it is going to go and go. Just about managers to. -- it's just about

:31:22.:31:25.

manages to. So, Willett and Hend, one quarter

:31:26.:31:42.

today, and a chance for why you Yang to get back into things. -- Y E

:31:43.:31:45.

Yang. That is slipping away from him.

:31:46.:31:57.

Bogey on the ninth, bogey on the 10th and 11th, can easily happen

:31:58.:32:02.

around here that Danny Willett is acting 8-under par. Hend has a

:32:03.:32:10.

chance to extend his lead now. And it goes, three for him to the five

:32:11.:32:18.

four Willett and Hend has a two shot lead. Van Zyl for an eagle will take

:32:19.:32:22.

into 8-under. He makes his birdie there. So,

:32:23.:32:36.

7-under par. And up-and-down day but hanging in there.

:32:37.:33:01.

So, YE Yang, a glorious second shot into the 12th. This for three to

:33:02.:33:08.

take into 9-under. He does not convince on the putts, YE Yang. But

:33:09.:33:16.

it is a 2-putt birdie. He will move to 8-under alongside Hatton and

:33:17.:33:19.

Willett. So, suddenly, things are comfortable

:33:20.:33:31.

for Scott Hend, and again he has not had to do too much. Level par for

:33:32.:33:35.

his round but two shots clear from Tyrell Hatton, a marvellous 66 which

:33:36.:33:43.

has catapulted him up the board. Lee Westwood is alongside Chris Wood.

:33:44.:33:46.

They are getting in contention as well ahead of the final day.

:33:47.:33:53.

The 18th, Lee Westwood's second to the par-5. Water left, bunker on the

:33:54.:34:06.

right, and narrow parting surface. -- putting surface. He has left

:34:07.:34:13.

himself a pretty tricky one but it is on dry land.

:34:14.:34:23.

Danny Willett, 3-wood off the tee, he has left himself a 4-iron. You

:34:24.:34:30.

can deceive the pin just above the shaft of his club. The left-hand

:34:31.:34:34.

side of the green. It pot up on him, and out into the

:34:35.:34:40.

front right bunker. A massive drive leaves Scott Hend

:34:41.:35:01.

with a mid iron. Picking the wind is becoming a problem.

:35:02.:35:12.

It had a soft bounce, I have seen them go to that little wooden fence.

:35:13.:35:23.

A lovely car therefore a hole in one.

:35:24.:35:29.

Ducks, everyone, duck! Oh, my goodness! I hope that was not

:35:30.:35:35.

someone's head. Catch! It is still bouncing! He will have to get his

:35:36.:35:44.

own car for that one. Someone is going to stop it. The Marshall is

:35:45.:35:47.

after it. Westwood, a little pitch to hear and

:35:48.:36:00.

it goes in, so Lee Westwood finishes birdie, birdie. So often can be done

:36:01.:36:04.

here at Wentworth. Back in 35, out in 33. 68, not a blemish on the

:36:05.:36:11.

card, and 7-under par, right in there. Hend is the leader, to clear

:36:12.:36:20.

at the moment, about 2-putt, but down in two is going to do. Judged

:36:21.:36:34.

that very nicely. Can Yang make his par? What a great forehand, trouble

:36:35.:36:45.

off the tee, he stays at 8-under. A fabulous finish to this course with

:36:46.:36:56.

the fives offering something. After a bit of help from his caddy, he is

:36:57.:37:03.

leaning towards the left edge. It turns a little to the right. Oh, no,

:37:04.:37:08.

pushed it. Did not allow enough. Well, par, after a good tee shot,

:37:09.:37:24.

you would have thought he would have made a birdie.

:37:25.:37:35.

He likes this little rescue, does Mr Yang.

:37:36.:37:45.

Oh, my goodness me. Good luck with that one! He has got a good line,

:37:46.:37:56.

looks to have a backswing but he is just trying to avoid that left-hand

:37:57.:37:59.

fairway bunker popping into position. Straight back. That was

:38:00.:38:09.

square on middle stump, the sound it made!

:38:10.:38:20.

The leader is in bother, Peter. When you hit a tree three feet in front

:38:21.:38:34.

of you, it seems a bit silly. Chipped it in the ditch? No, it is

:38:35.:38:40.

all right. Danny Willett got a good shoot off the back of the bunker.

:38:41.:38:43.

Was not pleased with his drive, it has not done too badly, the good

:38:44.:38:45.

line to come into the 13th. Someone like it. I am not sure Danny

:38:46.:38:59.

did, though. It is fine. Good for distance. There is a lot of change

:39:00.:39:07.

happening here in the 13th. Yang from the back of the 14th. If you

:39:08.:39:13.

talk about delicate shots, it could be very good.

:39:14.:39:19.

Well, you could not do it much better than that. If it went in the

:39:20.:39:28.

hole, if it had gone in! That was a classic little dab. He leads by two,

:39:29.:39:34.

but he has played three already on the 13th, Scott Hend, and 112 to the

:39:35.:39:44.

flag. Can he salvage the situation? He certainly can. That to drop just

:39:45.:39:51.

one, damage limitation of the highest order from Scott Hend.

:39:52.:40:01.

Playing hard to get, this is. She is not at all interested in the Gulf or

:40:02.:40:02.

him! Just fell away at the end. Stop the

:40:03.:40:06.

rot. This putt of Hend, for a very

:40:07.:40:48.

adventurous five. What the journey. Only one drop shot.

:40:49.:40:56.

Hend still leads, but only by one after salvaging that bogey on the

:40:57.:41:02.

13th. Tyrrell Hatton is looking better and better after his 66. Yang

:41:03.:41:08.

and Willett a couple over for the day. And Lee Westwood, birdies on

:41:09.:41:16.

the 17th and 18th for his 68. 23rd straight appearance in this

:41:17.:41:19.

Championship. I know you are very proud of that. A bogey free 68. A

:41:20.:41:24.

few chances tomorrow? It gives me a better chance than this morning. I

:41:25.:41:28.

closed the gap little bit. It is not playing quite so easy today. I was

:41:29.:41:32.

pleased that I did not make any mistakes. I did not really hole a

:41:33.:41:38.

putt over four feet, so to shoot 68 shows the quality of my tee shot

:41:39.:41:40.

game. You can see what is on offer for a

:41:41.:41:53.

hole in one, he could not do it today, this is the last group. If

:41:54.:41:58.

you can get just the right distance. You do not want to be too far beyond

:41:59.:42:06.

the hole, though. Go back, go back! So close to going all the way back

:42:07.:42:11.

down there. That is fast, fast down that slope. They will be wondering

:42:12.:42:22.

why there is so little applause while Hend keys up.

:42:23.:42:28.

His tee shot on the way. Will it towards the back of the green. It

:42:29.:42:39.

will drift away but on the same level. That is not too bad. That was

:42:40.:42:48.

a cracking tee shot from YE Yang on the 15th, a little rescue club

:42:49.:42:49.

again. And that is just as QWERTY, nasty,

:42:50.:43:02.

unpleasant, horrible, awful, goodbye!

:43:03.:43:09.

Here he goes, Hend, he has got to get the speed right and the slope.

:43:10.:43:15.

The wider you go, the slower you have got to go. It is running out of

:43:16.:43:24.

speed. Just fell away at the death. Not bad.

:43:25.:43:36.

YE Yang after that second shot of the deepest mediocrity, a bunker on

:43:37.:43:44.

the 15th. Looking to get it to roll out down the slope. It looks like he

:43:45.:43:49.

is going to slip away from the group. They are all coming back to

:43:50.:43:53.

the field, a lot of players coming back into contention. Willett's putt

:43:54.:43:59.

is tricky, way out to the left, quite a big change in elevation to

:44:00.:44:04.

the high ground, to the top of the rich. It should start to go down and

:44:05.:44:10.

turn to the right, gathering speed. Not bad, four feet, but you cannot

:44:11.:44:17.

dab at them, they will end up going way past. Yang to save par on the

:44:18.:44:25.

15th. The leaders are struggling at the moment, the last couple of

:44:26.:44:32.

groups are out on the course. He will slip back to 7-under. If you

:44:33.:44:39.

look at Hend and Willett, 2-over on their round, Jaco van Zyl, 3-over as

:44:40.:44:47.

well. All having trouble. Kaymer to finish, in for a birdie. It is a

:44:48.:44:51.

good round, it could have been so much better. Bogeys on the 16th and

:44:52.:45:00.

17th, that stubble on the 11th. -- that double on the 11th. Hend for a

:45:01.:45:09.

bogey. This is his third putt, he rattled it in. We knew it was a

:45:10.:45:11.

tricky putt, it cost him a shot. Willett with one of those! Well

:45:12.:45:18.

done. Good for the bit feet, and just the

:45:19.:45:41.

right edge with a bit of pace and in she goes. -- good four and a bit

:45:42.:45:43.

feet. Drops back to 6-under. Scott Hend has crashed his tee shot.

:45:44.:46:04.

Something good is slipping away over the last few holes. That is a very

:46:05.:46:11.

loose shot with that club in his hand. Does not look more than a

:46:12.:46:24.

7-iron. Must be at least seven, I think. To Mr Green as badly as that,

:46:25.:46:31.

with such a short club, not good at all. -- to miss the green. Hend for

:46:32.:46:37.

four, going up the hill. This must have, depending on the

:46:38.:47:04.

speed, at least two feet tomorrow. If he hits it too hard, it will go

:47:05.:47:15.

whizzing by. Not high enough. Not quite high enough. Never high

:47:16.:47:22.

enough. Do you think he talks in his sleep as well? After that excellent

:47:23.:47:36.

results, he never looked comfortable.

:47:37.:47:53.

Cord grips. Danny Willett to the 60s, if he gets it right, it is like

:47:54.:48:02.

going down the pluck the sink, you have got to get it to the sink

:48:03.:48:07.

first. -- down the plug hole of the sink. Pitching it past, any spin on

:48:08.:48:24.

it? Oh, no, that is not fair. The 18th, 2-under. A big drive. Not much

:48:25.:48:34.

of a target, though, this 18th. Looks tiny from that end but that is

:48:35.:48:38.

a cracking shot. It could have gone in! Look where he is aiming this,

:48:39.:48:47.

Peter. He is aiming at eight feet to the right. I hope he has got it

:48:48.:48:55.

right. Well, a very, very good effort indeed. That was a splendid

:48:56.:49:04.

go. Out onto the 18th, this for an eagle. And he had done it, well

:49:05.:49:09.

done, what a brilliant finish. Suddenly he has 4-under and very

:49:10.:49:15.

much in the picture. Despite having a very scrappy round, three birdies

:49:16.:49:21.

and seven. A couple of birdies and an eagle at the last.

:49:22.:49:33.

Another stroke going, in that group at 7-under par, so he is now

:49:34.:49:43.

outright leader. What a curious day and expect the

:49:44.:49:46.

three leaders have all gone backwards and instead, it is the

:49:47.:49:51.

young man from Marlow, not 30 minutes from this beautiful venue,

:49:52.:49:55.

Tyrrell Hatton, who holds the outright lead after that wonderful

:49:56.:49:59.

round of 66 today. One shot ahead of Westwood, Yang, Willett and henna.

:50:00.:50:06.

-- Hend. He need a straight shot. Not a lot

:50:07.:50:14.

of room to get in, but anything left leaves him a horrible chip pitch to

:50:15.:50:17.

the flag. Oh, I do not know what happened

:50:18.:50:29.

there. That could have been in the ladies locker room. Very, very

:50:30.:50:34.

strange. Yang with the longer of the tee

:50:35.:50:46.

shots. He has still got along the second shot because he had gone a

:50:47.:50:58.

little bit down the left side. The lucky. Oh, my goodness!

:50:59.:51:03.

A big swing, do you think one of those Nicholson specials? May be. He

:51:04.:51:09.

has tried it. That is a fine result. Mr Yang. He has got to float this

:51:10.:51:34.

up. Land it as softly as he can and it has gone by. Virtually impossible

:51:35.:51:40.

to get that by the hole. This would be a bit of a get out of

:51:41.:51:58.

jail free card. People have missed it on the right.

:51:59.:52:06.

After such a promising start, 1-under after eight holes, he is

:52:07.:52:16.

4-over par for his round. Let's see if Yang can bring some brightness to

:52:17.:52:22.

proceedings. Birdie putt on the last, too much? Only one player in

:52:23.:52:32.

the last eight groups out and apart, that was Martin Kaymer who had his

:52:33.:52:37.

own problems. He finished with 70. YE Yang is in with 75. A lot of 75s

:52:38.:52:43.

out there in the final few groups. Perhaps that is about par. What you

:52:44.:52:53.

think he is hitting from here, five? Five or six. Not a very long shaft.

:52:54.:52:59.

Got the length of the green to come up. As long as it is straight, it is

:53:00.:53:05.

OK. I think he is far enough. Only just, but that could be all right. A

:53:06.:53:11.

little more than all right. A bit of good fortune, a good result. Great

:53:12.:53:20.

result, lucky. He cannot afford any mistakes here. We can't see the

:53:21.:53:24.

ball, nestling down, you have got to loft the club, hit it hard, over the

:53:25.:53:31.

water. And stop it before the bunker at the back of the green, this is

:53:32.:53:40.

note pushover. Stop, stop, he cries. It has sailed over everything. It

:53:41.:53:45.

has been a struggle. How's that for a scene? How is that

:53:46.:54:05.

for a scene? Hospitality is full. Masters champion being welcomed by

:54:06.:54:10.

his hometown crowd. A wonderful setting.

:54:11.:54:23.

Played it beautifully. That was a dab hand, that just caught the edge,

:54:24.:54:33.

if it had, it would have killed it. That was a great result, absolutely

:54:34.:54:38.

splendid. This for the outright lead to get to 9-under. A terrific second

:54:39.:54:46.

shot, brave tee shot, a lovely iron, the aggression this time pays off.

:54:47.:54:54.

Round in 73. 9-under and leading by one.

:54:55.:55:00.

Although it is a short putt, it is missable if you do not get the line

:55:01.:55:06.

right and the speed. You can spin out, left to right, just inside the

:55:07.:55:12.

left lip, really, with a little bit of speed, not too much. Well done. A

:55:13.:55:20.

struggle but it is over. And we live to fight another day.

:55:21.:55:29.

They call Saturday moving day, but it has been moving backwards day for

:55:30.:55:33.

the co-leaders. The joint leaders overnight, Scott Hend still in pole

:55:34.:55:36.

position but one shot worse than before. And thank goodness from his

:55:37.:55:40.

perspective that eagle at the last. But Danny Willett has been one of

:55:41.:55:44.

the major stories of the day. Having been in that overnight lead, it is

:55:45.:55:50.

4-over par round of 76, and he will starts tomorrow in a tie for fifth

:55:51.:55:53.

place. We had everything under control nicely and then a couple of

:55:54.:56:00.

bad shots and bad decisions, Mr putts and it slipped away. Same

:56:01.:56:07.

thing, relatively simple par fives on the back nine and we played them

:56:08.:56:12.

badly again. We're not quite fit. It is disappointing to be there or

:56:13.:56:20.

thereabouts and them to play poorly like we did yesterday. After the

:56:21.:56:25.

range, see if we can set something going tomorrow.

:56:26.:56:28.

You had a two shot lead, then suddenly the wheels began to come

:56:29.:56:31.

off, so it that eagle of the last, -- at the last, how much of a rescue

:56:32.:56:38.

without? I was 3-under par coming into the last, making for all three

:56:39.:56:43.

was a bonus. I do not really look at the leaderboard so I did not know.

:56:44.:56:48.

It was a struggle, but steadied a bit coming in in. I know you have

:56:49.:56:54.

won tournaments in seven different countries, two on the European Tour,

:56:55.:56:57.

how big is this Championship and how big the wind would this be worth a

:56:58.:57:01.

happen? Obviously it is a big one, but to put it in perspective, I

:57:02.:57:05.

treat it like another tournament. If things happen afterwards, you go

:57:06.:57:11.

back and retrospectively think about it but right now it is just another

:57:12.:57:14.

golf tournament, I just tried to do what I do for a living.

:57:15.:57:18.

This has been a most unusual Saturday on this PGA champion ship.

:57:19.:57:27.

Scott Hend at the head of the field, but he leads outright only by one

:57:28.:57:31.

shot. It is the master champion Danny Willett in a share for fifth,

:57:32.:57:34.

he is going to have to launch his assault on the title from three

:57:35.:57:38.

shots behind. A cracking data to other English men, Tyrrell Hatton

:57:39.:57:42.

will be going out with Hend in the final playing pair tomorrow, and Lee

:57:43.:57:47.

Westwood who has come so close to this title on eight publications, is

:57:48.:57:55.

also in the mix. But -- on a couple of occasions, is also in the mix.

:57:56.:58:00.

Eight men are within the possibility of getting the lead. We will be back

:58:01.:58:04.

tomorrow night at 6pm. Golf is part of the Olympic games again which are

:58:05.:58:09.

now only 69 days away, and in the build-up to the games, tomorrow we

:58:10.:58:12.

will have live coverage of the rowing World Cup on BBC Two, at 30

:58:13.:58:19.

PM from Switzerland. The GB and Northern Ireland team will be

:58:20.:58:22.

finalised on the night of June. Danny Willett might well be going to

:58:23.:58:28.

Rio as well. But the short-term, his priority list, top of that is to

:58:29.:58:35.

become the BMW PGA champion. We will see if he can come back fighting

:58:36.:58:39.

tomorrow, we will be back at 6pm to see them land the knockout blow.

:58:40.:58:44.
