:00:33. > :01:30.Hello and welcome to went worth, where we are set up for a dramatic

:01:31. > :01:35.final day around the West Course. Five shots separate the top 15

:01:36. > :01:40.players as they battle to join that illustrious list of champions,

:01:41. > :01:44.alongside the likes of Rory McIlory, Seve Ballesteros and Sir Nick Faldo.

:01:45. > :01:49.The Sunnis back shining, the crowds are out in force, as they have been

:01:50. > :01:53.all week and there is a real buzz of anticipation in the air -- the sun

:01:54. > :02:00.is back shining. The man leading the way overnight is Australia's Andrew

:02:01. > :02:04.Dodt, the world number 251, with a 1-shot lead over Branden Grace. Lee

:02:05. > :02:10.Westwood and Francesco Molinari lurking two shots further back. The

:02:11. > :02:15.short Graham will be crucial so we sent Ken out to look at the reseeded

:02:16. > :02:18.services -- short game. I am on the 16th green and all of the greens

:02:19. > :02:21.have been redone. All of those who have watched the Chelsea flower

:02:22. > :02:24.show, you have seen miraculous horticulture but here, this is

:02:25. > :02:29.amazing, because six months ago, there wasn't a blade of grass on

:02:30. > :02:33.this place. This green was just soil. It's fantastic. I will give

:02:34. > :02:38.you an idea how greens are constructed. This is the putting

:02:39. > :02:43.surface, then 12 to 15 inches of root zone, Pete and sand, then there

:02:44. > :02:46.is coarse sand and a level with drains in it, but the miraculous

:02:47. > :02:50.thing they have got is this care system, which allows you to suck air

:02:51. > :02:54.through to get the moisture out, almost blowing warm Aryan and there

:02:55. > :02:59.it is, the little green thing like a Dalek, and that allows you to blow

:03:00. > :03:03.warm air and get the grass to grow quicker than it does in the winter.

:03:04. > :03:09.So let's have a look at this grass. Can you believe it? Let's have a

:03:10. > :03:13.look how long it is. If we get down... They reckon it is three

:03:14. > :03:19.millimetres long. Can you believe it? It grows when you walk on it,

:03:20. > :03:24.scuffs and yet it is still a perfect surface, it really is amazing. It

:03:25. > :03:29.has only been there in six months, let's see how the putts roll on the

:03:30. > :03:33.greens. It is truly remarkable. I have not seen one ball bobble or

:03:34. > :03:38.bounce this week. You think players walk on it, pitch marks, spike

:03:39. > :03:42.marks, nothing. It just hugs the ground all the way, amazing, when

:03:43. > :03:49.you think six months ago there wasn't a blade of grass. I'll tell

:03:50. > :03:53.you what, I'm a big hit at parties as well. It is amazing just how good

:03:54. > :03:56.is golf courses looking this week and with it all hanging in the

:03:57. > :04:00.balance, who we will be concentrating on on this final day.

:04:01. > :04:06.Welshman Bradley Dredge's last European Tour win came way back in

:04:07. > :04:09.2006. He had Open champion Henrik Stenson the company, the Swede

:04:10. > :04:14.looking for a first win on British soil since lifting the Claret Jug.

:04:15. > :04:19.Runner-up in last year's US Open Shane Lowry loves this course and he

:04:20. > :04:23.is out with a man who went lowest yesterday, world 58 Hideto Tanihara

:04:24. > :04:27.from Japan. Not many pairings know this place as well as these two.

:04:28. > :04:32.Francesco Molinari has four top-10 finishes in his last five years,

:04:33. > :04:37.while playing partner Lee Westwood boasts two runner-up finishes at the

:04:38. > :04:40.event. And southern hemisphere feeling to the final pairing,

:04:41. > :04:46.Branden Grace alongside surprise overnight leader Dodt from

:04:47. > :04:52.Australia. Maximillian Kieffer started the day at 3-under par. He

:04:53. > :04:58.had this birdie putt on the first. Well judged, that would drop. Fist

:04:59. > :05:04.pump from the German as he moved to 4-under par. Dean Burmester, and

:05:05. > :05:10.opening 930, here on the tenth for another birdie to go 5-under.

:05:11. > :05:14.Sweden's Alex Noren birdied the first, second and the fourth and

:05:15. > :05:20.this was for another at the 7th. In it goes and he moved to 5-under par.

:05:21. > :05:28.Open champion Henrik Stenson looking dialled in on the par-3 second. His

:05:29. > :05:33.tee shot would go close. Close enough for a birdie. The Swede moves

:05:34. > :05:41.to 5-under par. Burmester again with another birdie putt on the par-3/14.

:05:42. > :05:46.6-under now, two shots back. Ireland's Shane Lowry on the second,

:05:47. > :05:54.a birdie putt. He walks that one in and he moves to 5-under par. So in

:05:55. > :05:58.this first Rolex Series event, it is South Africa's Dean Burmester making

:05:59. > :06:03.the biggest strides on the final day, 6-under today, 5-under for the

:06:04. > :06:07.tournament. He's alongside Open champion Henrik Stenson and Lee

:06:08. > :06:11.Westwood from England, but the leader, Andrew Dodt, 8-under par,

:06:12. > :06:16.one ahead of Branden Grace, on the first tee, so let's get out on the

:06:17. > :06:17.course with your commentary team of Andrew Cotter, Ken Brown and Peter

:06:18. > :06:28.Alliss. Thank you. Well, the last pair and

:06:29. > :06:33.we could have some good stuff going on this afternoon. The weather's

:06:34. > :06:38.good, the courses in very good condition and we've got good golfers

:06:39. > :06:41.here -- the course is in very good condition. I wonder how they are

:06:42. > :06:51.going to plot their way around. Taking the driver. Could end up in

:06:52. > :07:01.trouble, or down the hill, or in a funny lie. Shouldst NFL. On the tee

:07:02. > :07:07.from Australia, Andrew Dodt. Andrew Dodt, our leader. He's been around a

:07:08. > :07:13.few years and won a few bits and pieces, but this would be a BD. -- a

:07:14. > :07:17.big one. You don't see many down the left-hand side of this fairway, Ken.

:07:18. > :07:21.They are going down the right and down the hill and there is thick

:07:22. > :07:30.rough. There is a bit of room down the left, can he find it?

:07:31. > :07:51.Our Open champion Henrik Stenson at the 3rd, second shot. This newly

:07:52. > :07:57.shaved constructed green, which has been quite controversial over the

:07:58. > :08:04.years. When you do it like that, it makes the job easy, doesn't it?

:08:05. > :08:12.Lovely shot. Beware the Stenson. Westwood at the 2nd. They have

:08:13. > :08:20.demolished this tee. It was pristine on Tuesday, look at it now. And

:08:21. > :08:28.another one! I think he fancies it. He does indeed. I little beauty.

:08:29. > :08:37.Stenson for a birdie at the 3rd. Smoothly back, straight in. Yes.

:08:38. > :08:43.What a delightful start to his round.

:08:44. > :09:02.The Worksop man. Got to be, hasn't it? Got to turn. Hunger on that left

:09:03. > :09:03.edge for the last yard, I can't believe it, an inch, a fraction to

:09:04. > :09:15.the right. Unlucky. Always tricky to know just how deep

:09:16. > :09:20.and has soft and how receptive the sand is, but this is fairly

:09:21. > :09:27.straightforward, got to aim right at the flag, let it come down gently,

:09:28. > :09:28.ease its way down. He didn't aim it right enough. Only seven out of ten

:09:29. > :09:41.for that one. Graeme Storm, a regular feature on

:09:42. > :09:49.the European Tour for many years. And just tickles one in. Up and down

:09:50. > :09:54.career, Graeme Storm. When he is playing well, it all looks easy. A

:09:55. > :09:59.bit of work to be done here, Kenneth. Look at this, this is

:10:00. > :10:05.probably eight feet if it's an inch. Bound to be a little nervy. Just at

:10:06. > :10:09.the right-hand side, pace is important. Not hard enough. Never

:10:10. > :10:16.was hard enough. It was always going to go left of centre. Shot dropped.

:10:17. > :10:21.Big drive, ten yards far right. Five. Neatly thoughts on the way to

:10:22. > :10:25.the second. I'll tell you, the quality of the

:10:26. > :10:30.grass here looks absolutely stunning. I can't believe it was

:10:31. > :10:36.seeded, to grow such a sward in 18 months is amazing. Grace taps in, he

:10:37. > :10:45.gets his four. So there they are, level as they go to the second tee.

:10:46. > :10:50.17 holes to go. It will be interesting.

:10:51. > :10:58.Tyrrell Hatton. Flip setup and would you believe it? -- flips it up. That

:10:59. > :11:07.will bring a smile to his face. Come along, Tyrrell. Can Branden Grace

:11:08. > :11:11.read this putt? You would have thought it is just inside the right

:11:12. > :11:20.edge. A lot have gone so close and missed. This to take the lead. He

:11:21. > :11:23.read it perfectly. He can see the winner's enclosure and he is not

:11:24. > :11:30.frightened to run in there, leads by one.

:11:31. > :11:42.Molinari, to save his par. He has pushed it, has he? So reliable from

:11:43. > :11:46.tee to green, in the top ten both with driving accuracy and greens in

:11:47. > :11:48.regulation this week and has been steady on the greens. But a couple

:11:49. > :11:53.of opening misses from fairly short range.

:11:54. > :11:59.Well, early on in the last round, but already we have a leader, a

:12:00. > :12:03.clear leader, Branden Grace, one ahead of Andrew Dodt. But just look

:12:04. > :12:08.down the leaderboard to Alexander Bjork, who has just come in with a

:12:09. > :12:14.66. I wonder where he'll be at the end of play today. And Nicolas

:12:15. > :12:15.Colsaerts, suddenly he is roaring up the leaderboard. Not 1 million miles

:12:16. > :12:39.behind. Stenson for his birdie four at the

:12:40. > :12:46.4th. Hushed crowd. He rams it right into the hole. What a perfect way to

:12:47. > :12:51.start, a four at the 1st, the tricky first, and two, three, four, birdie,

:12:52. > :12:57.birdie, birdie. One behind, the Iceman is on the move.

:12:58. > :13:06.Dodt's third shot, 3rd hole. Got a few levels to combat here. Is he

:13:07. > :13:14.going to pitch it all the way? What a beauty. What a beauty. No, no...

:13:15. > :13:23.Well, they do happen sometimes and you don't know why, but they're's a

:13:24. > :13:25.classic example of a very difficult shot, desperately hoping to get down

:13:26. > :13:41.in two, does it in one. Hey Ho. Lowry at the 4th. Bit wayward with

:13:42. > :13:51.his second and he flips it up. Look at that. How do they do that? I

:13:52. > :13:55.don't think they really know. Alex Noren. The first of the three par-5s

:13:56. > :14:00.on the back nine and he makes a timely birdie four.

:14:01. > :14:18.Out in 31. Join the group of 6-under, Shane Lowry. He has done

:14:19. > :14:22.it, right in the heart of the Cup. Joins Alex Noren, currently in

:14:23. > :14:29.fourth position. Stenson at 7-under, Branden Grace and Dodt at 8-under.

:14:30. > :14:35.Nicolas Colsaerts, second to the 12th. Massive tee shot on the par-5.

:14:36. > :14:42.That is absolutely stunning. Big, high draw to this front left pin,

:14:43. > :14:47.difficult to hold it to the flag and that's a dandy. Eagle chance. Lowry

:14:48. > :15:02.for a two at the 5th. Oh, yes. Did that go in at a lovely

:15:03. > :15:06.speed? -- didn't that. They are really getting to grips with the

:15:07. > :15:11.course now, after a few days' practice. They really are rattling

:15:12. > :15:18.them in. Colsaerts for an eagle at the 12th and he... Has done it! .

:15:19. > :15:33.Well done. He has had a bad run lately. 31 out, five, six, 7-under.

:15:34. > :15:48.The South African looking to finish with a four. He has, another one he

:15:49. > :15:57.has rolled in. What a round of golf. 65, the lowest the week by a

:15:58. > :16:01.distance. 6-under for the tournament. Dodt has a bit of green

:16:02. > :16:03.to play with here. Can fly it pretty far if he wanted to. Left-to-right

:16:04. > :16:15.movement on it. No, it came down a little bit but

:16:16. > :16:20.leaves himself a slick one for his birdie.

:16:21. > :16:32.If he has got a nice lie here, it is not the hardest chipped in the

:16:33. > :16:40.world. Should run out. -- hardest chipped in the world. He will have

:16:41. > :16:48.that for his birdie. Molinari with a little pitch. Hit it... Again, you

:16:49. > :16:51.look at that, unlucky it didn't drop but more fortunate that the pin

:16:52. > :17:01.stopped it in its tracks. It was going a good four or five feet past.

:17:02. > :17:07.Andrew Dodt for his four, for the birdie. And for the outright lead.

:17:08. > :17:18.The Queens land, after dropping that shot at the 1st, moves to 9-under --

:17:19. > :17:23.Queenslander. Grace to follow Dodt in for his four. So there we are,

:17:24. > :17:24.Dodt was on his own for just a couple of moments and Branden Grace

:17:25. > :17:38.back alongside him at 9-under par. Noren, hands low, big sort of

:17:39. > :17:45.forward press, well down the grip. That where he needs to put it. Hit

:17:46. > :17:50.it... And he has it. So Noren, now, that is three birdies in a row, his

:17:51. > :17:55.seventh in total. 7-under for the round, 8-under. One behind.

:17:56. > :18:03.Stenson down the left side of the seventh. Not a bad line to attack

:18:04. > :18:12.this pin, which is 24 on, four from the right today. Can't stop it with

:18:13. > :18:17.spin so he is going for elevation. How has he done? That is a fantastic

:18:18. > :18:22.shot. Coming in from the clouds, dropped softly, this awkward pin.

:18:23. > :18:41.Give that a one half out of ten out of the rough. -- give that eight and

:18:42. > :18:42.a half out of ten. It is left-to-right, but how much? It is a

:18:43. > :18:43.subtle one. Most people missing on the right. Not this one, right in

:18:44. > :18:46.the centre of the Cup. Well done, Shane, has been cool at times this

:18:47. > :18:51.week but warming up, three in a row. The Irish are loving it. Well, what

:18:52. > :18:57.a difference in the scoring today compared to yesterday, so many red

:18:58. > :19:01.figures. Eagles around today. Andrew Dodt and Branden Grace have had

:19:02. > :19:05.their share, one clear of Noren and Shane Lowry with that picked up shot

:19:06. > :19:10.on the 6th hole and is a big names loitering not too far away. Westwood

:19:11. > :19:15.still to get going. Matt Fitzpatrick, 66 to move to 5-under.

:19:16. > :19:26.Graeme Storm. Crook second at the 9th but the chance to lay one up

:19:27. > :19:32.close. And that was as close as you can get! Right down the goalie,

:19:33. > :19:35.excellent. They are so important, those little lucky ones, a bit of

:19:36. > :19:40.good fortune keep the momentum going. Out in 32.

:19:41. > :19:50.He couldn't, could he? The eyes are all on Henrik Stenson to get within

:19:51. > :20:03.one. Oh, the Open champion is on a charge. Fantastic stuff.

:20:04. > :20:11.Over the beautiful oak tree, Shane Lowry will need some luck here. And

:20:12. > :20:15.he got some. Will it stay up? No. Will it? Go on, stick. Oh, my

:20:16. > :20:23.goodness, that is the luck of the Irish.

:20:24. > :20:34.Justin Rose. Didn't have to hit that very hard. Birdie putt holed by

:20:35. > :20:43.Rose. 4-under for the day and for the tournament. One to go.

:20:44. > :20:48.Well, can Shane Lowry make the most of his luck. If that ball turned

:20:49. > :20:50.again, he was on the lower tier. He is keeping the pace up. What a

:20:51. > :21:02.three! Joins the leaders. No wonder he is

:21:03. > :21:07.smiling. That was one against the head, if ever there was one.

:21:08. > :21:15.Alex Noren, his second to the 16th, 8-under par. Only a short iron. Look

:21:16. > :21:19.at the size of the divot, no wonder he hurts his wrist. Not one of his

:21:20. > :21:34.best. Colsaerts, after a cracking iron

:21:35. > :21:38.into this par-3/14. Up the slope, should be makeable. It wriggled in

:21:39. > :21:48.the side door, 7-under for Nicolas Colsaerts. The card of many colours.

:21:49. > :21:57.So four birdies in a row has Shane Lowry in a three-way tie on the --

:21:58. > :21:59.in the lead alongside Andrew Dodt Branden Grace. Alex Barron and

:22:00. > :22:01.Henrik Swainston academic Stenson, the -- and Henrik Stenson, the two

:22:02. > :22:17.suite, a further shot back. Soren Kjeldsen a second to the 11th.

:22:18. > :22:18.As to dig it out of the hay -- has two. Come around, that is a good

:22:19. > :22:35.recovery. Mr Westwood. Errant tee shot on the

:22:36. > :22:43.left bank, has visible bogey. The saver in the heart, double bogey on

:22:44. > :22:57.the seventh. -- the sabre in the heart. Alex Noren. He's done it, you

:22:58. > :23:03.know? What a putt from Alex Noren. 9-under par, co-leader.

:23:04. > :23:11.Graeme Storm, just down the slope on the 11th.

:23:12. > :23:19.Right in the middle. So from the thick rough turn the left-hand side,

:23:20. > :23:28.it's a birdie four Graeme Storm. Fourth of the day, 7-under now.

:23:29. > :23:34.Tanihara, again, it's just the lightest of touches and he has it.

:23:35. > :23:40.Tanihara, now, that is four birdies in five holes, he moves to 8-under.

:23:41. > :23:47.Rose now at the final hole. Not the best of weeks they him but a nice

:23:48. > :23:50.day today. Older beautiful putt on the last green and this isn't

:23:51. > :23:54.looking too bad if it keeps coming... But it's running out of

:23:55. > :24:01.steam. But beautifully judged just the same and he has finished with a

:24:02. > :24:06.nice round. His home club, where he learned to play, only about five

:24:07. > :24:11.miles or a bit more from here. I'm sure they are pleased to see him

:24:12. > :24:16.home this week. The macro nice final rounds. -- two nice final rounds.

:24:17. > :24:27.Molinari at the 8th. And that could go down the hill

:24:28. > :24:40.nicely. Nicely, nicely. Stenson for his par on the ninth,

:24:41. > :24:46.keep the momentum going. He was in the fairway bunker down the left.

:24:47. > :24:56.Henrik. There could be costly, couple behind now. Still a long way

:24:57. > :25:04.to go. Molinari, beautiful second shot in

:25:05. > :25:08.here. It is quick. And has it. Molinari playing alongside Westwood,

:25:09. > :25:09.both failing to fire at the moment, but Molinari gets going again.

:25:10. > :25:22.6-under. Noren, having driven in the rough,

:25:23. > :25:28.got his second here. A bit of a heavy lie. Find the green, do no

:25:29. > :25:34.worse than five. Come along, that Kuboki if it keeps coming. Tricky

:25:35. > :25:42.putt from there, big swing from the left immediately in front of the

:25:43. > :25:45.ball. Just two putt for a five. Now, Mr Lowry. This to stay 9-under and

:25:46. > :26:00.he... Has done it. Look at all those red numbers. Out

:26:01. > :26:06.in 30. Good God, that is four below his handicap. Two putts would be

:26:07. > :26:10.good. Don't be too hasty now. Over the ridge. It should drift away.

:26:11. > :26:14.Could it come back? It is trying to come back and that was a very well

:26:15. > :26:21.judged putt from there. Very well judged. And Graeme Storm, left of

:26:22. > :26:32.the 12 in two. Thick, cloudy stuff though he has

:26:33. > :26:36.judged that very well indeed. Just stabbed it into the bank, that for

:26:37. > :26:42.his birdie. Storm with the chance to get within one of the lead. Noren at

:26:43. > :26:49.the 18th, second shot. He's having a crack at it.

:26:50. > :27:07.did magnificently. Oh, my word. Good gracious me, if he holes that one...

:27:08. > :27:11.This would be a very nice up and down from Graeme Storm.

:27:12. > :27:16.And he has it. Birdie number five today four Graeme Storm and now

:27:17. > :27:30.within one. Tanihara's tee shot on the tenth,

:27:31. > :27:34.185, the pin on the right half of the green.

:27:35. > :27:44.All sorts of danger down to the right of the green. You can see how

:27:45. > :27:48.firm the greens are, a lot of balls bouncing through this week. Ken was

:27:49. > :27:51.down having a look at the firmness of the greens earlier. One of the

:27:52. > :27:54.things that has been noticeable this week is how hard the ball is

:27:55. > :27:57.bouncing on the greens and there is a reason for that. When you first

:27:58. > :28:02.plant out some grass, you have blades here and they send out one

:28:03. > :28:05.sort of route. As Times go by, the Blades are separate and so do the

:28:06. > :28:12.roots and it develops under the putting surface I think that they

:28:13. > :28:16.call Thach, little thatched area. Let's see how soft as greenies. When

:28:17. > :28:22.you stick something in, it is not too hard at all. Let's try here.

:28:23. > :28:26.I've got a spike. Let's see how it goes in. After a bit of twiddling

:28:27. > :28:30.through the service, you can push it right in like that and it is like

:28:31. > :28:35.going into putter. So the actual root zone is very soft, it is the

:28:36. > :28:41.top that is a bit crusty. This is what it works like, if you have a

:28:42. > :28:44.bit of Thatch, which develops over six months, you don't want too much

:28:45. > :28:47.but the right amount gives the green a bit of give and it's like this,

:28:48. > :28:50.this is your putting surface with that soft organic material under the

:28:51. > :28:54.surface, the Thatch, the ball to slant is a little softer. When the

:28:55. > :29:01.ball is landing clean on the root zone, it tends to ping away. No

:29:02. > :29:05.Thatch, no hard bounces. That was like one of those old open

:29:06. > :29:14.University lectures on television. Now, what a poet this is for Noren.

:29:15. > :29:18.The course record held by Johan Carlsson -- what a putt. Course

:29:19. > :29:39.record is 62, this to match it. What a putt. What a round of golf

:29:40. > :29:50.from Alex Noren. 62, fantastic score. And that could well be worthy

:29:51. > :29:55.of victory. Equals the course record of Thomas Bjorn and Robert Karlsson.

:29:56. > :30:01.It might bring more than that, it might bring victory here at the PGA

:30:02. > :30:03.Championship. I think I might have kept that ball for the trophy

:30:04. > :30:14.cabinet, but there we are. Now it is up to the others to try

:30:15. > :30:22.and hunt him down now on the back nine.

:30:23. > :30:29.Well, Stenson was within five or six feet of the hole at one point, spun

:30:30. > :30:36.it back to here. Needs to get going again.

:30:37. > :30:44.Deserves three, and he has got it, by golly. Well done, he deserved

:30:45. > :30:49.that, beautiful second shot. Don't rule this fellow out yet. Well,

:30:50. > :30:56.there are three or four of them can do it. So Henrik Stenson is one of

:30:57. > :31:01.those chasing down his fellow countrymen Alex Maron, out in front

:31:02. > :31:03.courtesy of that 62. Eight birdies and an eagle, looking to this big

:31:04. > :31:12.prize. Let's get his thoughts. What a round of golf that was. It

:31:13. > :31:22.seemed like everything was working for you. Every putt that I wanted

:31:23. > :31:28.went in. It was one of those days. I might not never have it again. It

:31:29. > :31:34.was a nice start and a nice finish and I finished so badly yesterday

:31:35. > :31:40.and I was angry all evening. I came off with a good start and that was

:31:41. > :31:46.forgotten. It was a very nice day. You set a very good clubhouse lead,

:31:47. > :31:52.you are in before the rain was scheduled to start, is it a nervous

:31:53. > :31:57.wait to see if you have done enough? Definitely. The last seven holes, it

:31:58. > :32:01.could go either way and I think there is a lot of birdies out there,

:32:02. > :32:08.but you have to hit the fairways and the greens and it is a little

:32:09. > :32:13.tricky. 17 or 18, you can make. There is a good chance, some of the

:32:14. > :32:17.other guys could do it. I am happy with the round and if it goes well,

:32:18. > :32:23.it goes well, but I am more happy, but if someone beats me, that is it.

:32:24. > :32:29.It was a great way to finish the week, but whatever happens at the

:32:30. > :32:36.end of today, how do you reflect on it as a whole? Good. I felt all

:32:37. > :32:40.right coming in. This was the best putting week I have heard all year.

:32:41. > :32:45.I worked harder on the putting this week than on previous weeks because

:32:46. > :32:49.it has been my strength and maybe worked too hard on my weaknesses and

:32:50. > :32:55.forgot about the putting this year. I trained really hard and today was

:32:56. > :33:04.a lot of luck involved as well. I am very happy. Graeme Storm is plugged

:33:05. > :33:14.in the bunker. Nice little damp wood down to here. Some damage

:33:15. > :33:22.limitation, but back to 7-under. First dropped shot of the day.

:33:23. > :33:34.Henrik Stenson. Eagle putt at the 12th. He is usually pretty good at

:33:35. > :33:37.putts at this length. He frightens the hole if he does not get them in.

:33:38. > :34:01.It is a birdie. Nicolas Colsaerts at the 13th for an

:34:02. > :34:07.eagle. Looks good. And by golly, it is good, wonderful way to finish. He

:34:08. > :34:16.had a stumble and dropped shots at the 13th and 15th but finishes 3-5-

:34:17. > :34:27.three. Well played. Hideto Tamihara second. Quite a long way back, 235.

:34:28. > :34:32.Coming around, coming around, the green line leads to the bunker or

:34:33. > :34:37.just inside it and it is pretty good. Might run on just off the

:34:38. > :34:56.table top. A good shot and an eagle putt to come. Par putt for Andrew

:34:57. > :35:09.Dodd. No. It is slipping away. -- Andrew Dodt. Header to Terry Harrer,

:35:10. > :35:12.chance to get to 10-under. . Tanihara will join that for a

:35:13. > :35:26.birdie. He will join that group of 10-under. Henrik Stenson can he save

:35:27. > :35:33.par? It is a big putt. No, no, no. Suddenly he will find himself three

:35:34. > :35:36.behind Alex Noren with five to play. Even on the last few holes at

:35:37. > :35:48.Wentworth which can give you something back, that is a big ask.

:35:49. > :35:59.Francesco Molinari's third. Extremely able to 12. Birdies and

:36:00. > :36:07.some eagles, that is marvellous. Very little swerve, just a touch of

:36:08. > :36:15.left to right sayyid. The rain continues to fall at Wentworth. Alex

:36:16. > :36:19.Noren is tucked up after his course record equalling 62, two shots clear

:36:20. > :36:28.of Branden Grace, Shane Lowry and Hideto Tanihara. Can he perhaps

:36:29. > :36:32.catch Alex Noren? Bit of moisture on the greens now, slows them down a

:36:33. > :36:38.fraction. Takes a little bit of break out of the putts. Lovely

:36:39. > :36:50.birdie there for Molinari. 7-under par. Here we go, decisions to be

:36:51. > :36:57.made by Branden Grace. We will see how he is lying. Oh my goodness.

:36:58. > :37:17.That is a record if he has a bash at it. Henrik Stenson from down in the

:37:18. > :37:25.bunker on the 14th. Very nearly. Here go. Here's going to splash out.

:37:26. > :37:31.Virtually sideways. Oh dear! Hit the stone. You were saying, that was the

:37:32. > :37:38.risk of it. Now, he will not try it again, he will be taking a drop and

:37:39. > :37:41.playing four. Alex Noren's score of 11-under forced him to take

:37:42. > :37:49.something on. I do not think he would have done that otherwise. It

:37:50. > :37:54.came down so steeply on it. There were stones under there and he was

:37:55. > :38:01.expecting what anti crunched into the stones. He will not admire it

:38:02. > :38:16.when it pops into water. Branden Grace has dropped and he is playing

:38:17. > :38:21.four. And this has to be good. Down in the sand lying OK, playing five

:38:22. > :38:37.up and down for a bogey and his chances are slipping away here at

:38:38. > :38:44.the 12th. Shane Lowry. And a good run, go back, go back, go back. The

:38:45. > :38:55.rings are softening, but still very good for a Shane Lowry, that to get

:38:56. > :38:59.to 10-under. Lovely lie in the bunker for Branden Grace. He has to

:39:00. > :39:11.get it running. It should run the way he has hit it. Mighty fine

:39:12. > :39:16.effort. Nearly a par. Can he read this putt? Got to be a bit of left

:39:17. > :39:23.to right movement. Shane Lowry, to get within one. There is a glass

:39:24. > :39:32.ceiling stopping these players from getting any closer to Alex Noren.

:39:33. > :39:37.Branden Grace for his bogey six and if you feel if he misses it, the

:39:38. > :39:48.opportunity for him is virtually zero.

:39:49. > :39:56.It holds everything at 4.4, we had six eagles, he took a bit of a

:39:57. > :40:13.gamble out of the ditch. That is the wrong sort of double.

:40:14. > :40:23.Where is this one going? Quick hook down the left. It has gone awfully

:40:24. > :40:34.quiet. He is grabbing for another ball in his bag. Henrik Stenson at

:40:35. > :40:41.8-under. If he is going to have any chance of catching Alex Noren, he

:40:42. > :40:49.has to go in... Still going there at the 15th for him. Still a long iron

:40:50. > :41:02.in for Hideto Tanihara at the edge of the path. A few gasps and groans,

:41:03. > :41:06.away to the right. I thought a challenge to Alex Noren would come

:41:07. > :41:11.from this group but they are imploding, Hideto Tanihara and Shane

:41:12. > :41:23.Lowry. The forward shot having gone out of bounds with his tee shot at

:41:24. > :41:25.the 15th. Shane Lowry. Pretty darn good. He will have that for his

:41:26. > :41:49.bogey. Now Dodt, little pitch. Looks pretty

:41:50. > :41:56.good. It nearly does. That will be a par for Dodt. Has not had a birdie

:41:57. > :42:01.since the fourth. The last time his playing partner picked up a shot as

:42:02. > :42:07.well, both he and Branden Grace have stalled badly in this group. Alex

:42:08. > :42:13.Noren will be watching keenly, if Hideto Tanihara and Shane Lowry both

:42:14. > :42:18.go here, he really is... In full position. That is a beautifully

:42:19. > :42:27.played shot from there. It should... Just a yard or so more. After that

:42:28. > :42:31.wonderful round of 62, Alex Noren spending a little time with a young

:42:32. > :42:39.fans. Popper autograph books. How lovely! A number of players doing

:42:40. > :42:44.their very best to make sure that Alex Noren is the champion here at

:42:45. > :42:54.Wentworth and here is one of them. Shane Lowry at the 15th. Out of

:42:55. > :43:06.bounds. Pretty good effort, but I am afraid, costly.

:43:07. > :43:21.Couple of shots, blown away. Along with a few others. Hideto Tanihara.

:43:22. > :43:29.Also struggling on this 15th hole, but that looks pretty good, but not

:43:30. > :43:34.good enough. He also drops back. So what a turn up for the books, Alex

:43:35. > :43:40.Noren who has been in at least 45 minutes, a spectacular round of 62,

:43:41. > :43:44.came shooting up the table and he is leading the way and others are

:43:45. > :43:51.making it very easy up, or easier for him, to be the winner. Sad to

:43:52. > :43:55.see, shots being dropped, but over the closing three holes here at

:43:56. > :44:05.Wentworth, much can happen and has over the years. So, hold your

:44:06. > :44:11.breath. Second shot for Dodt. It has been put in the bunker, absolutely

:44:12. > :44:22.buried. Some of the faces have got a bit of extra sand. That was a smelly

:44:23. > :44:32.life. At the eight team, this to go to 7-under and get a nice prize.

:44:33. > :44:45.Well done. Very nice. Good round. 68. Two bogeys. Great year last

:44:46. > :44:48.year, won three times on the Tour, when he gets going, he is hot

:44:49. > :44:59.indeed. Looking perhaps that victory number nine. Par three, the third

:45:00. > :45:03.shot of Andrew Dodt and he has got that a little but crisp as well. It

:45:04. > :45:10.all started so fast, I thought we were going to see a firework display

:45:11. > :45:17.but it has gone out. Hideto Tanihara, second shot at the 16th.

:45:18. > :45:35.At Buchanan, up you come. Yes, not bad. -- up you come. Dodt, is it to

:45:36. > :45:45.the bunker? All, goodness! Double bogey five. That was cruel. With

:45:46. > :45:51.?900,000 going to the winner, enormous prize fund, you are just

:45:52. > :46:00.throwing money away. Johnson at the 18. Medium Johnson! That looks well

:46:01. > :46:13.done. Very well done. Exceedingly well done! Always leaving them

:46:14. > :46:23.wanting more, Beef. Keep off the chips and you will be all right!

:46:24. > :46:30.Hideto Tanihara for a birdie at the 16th, this to 9-under, come along,

:46:31. > :46:36.it is there, if he had hit it, it was there. Whether it is the thought

:46:37. > :46:46.of the ?950,000 first prize, it may have upset a few. Here is Henrik

:46:47. > :46:55.Stenson with his third shot of the 17. Drove it into the rough down the

:46:56. > :47:06.right. And that is short. No, it is not, I tell a lie. Unusual looking

:47:07. > :47:17.putting action. Random race. Different grip. -- Branden Grace.

:47:18. > :47:24.His 15th has caused him problems in the last couple of hours. There has

:47:25. > :47:31.been sixes and plenty of double bogeys, by far the hardest hole on

:47:32. > :47:34.the course. He has had a few that have looked like he would find the

:47:35. > :47:44.bottom and a chance here at the 17th for Henrik Stenson. Just seemed to

:47:45. > :47:52.lose the pace of the greens when the rains came down a fraction. Alex

:47:53. > :47:56.Noren sitting in the players lounge watching the television screens

:47:57. > :48:04.wondering how he is going to work out every minute that texts by. It

:48:05. > :48:13.is looking better. Now looking for another bit of magic here. You can

:48:14. > :48:29.see where he was trying to land it in the fringe. A lot of money at

:48:30. > :48:36.stake. Here is Tyrell Hatton. He has got this putt for an eagle. At the

:48:37. > :48:43.last. He took eight pacro at the 17th and that is finishing with a

:48:44. > :48:53.birdie. If this is despatched into the water, somewhere, just beware,

:48:54. > :49:06.get ready to duck. No. How gentle! 74 with an eight.

:49:07. > :49:20.Just to drop the one stroke. He has pushed it. Seven. A little unlucky

:49:21. > :49:26.with his tee shot. It would have been kicking back onto the fairway

:49:27. > :49:38.and stayed tucked behind the trees. Double bogey, par double bogey and

:49:39. > :49:45.back to 5-under. On the fourth and Alex Noren, early, summing up his

:49:46. > :49:49.round. Down the little tear. Alex, Alex. You start with a birdie at the

:49:50. > :50:04.1st and the second, another birdie there at the 4th. Right into the

:50:05. > :50:19.back of the cup. To come one. 11 and 12. Good range for another birdie.

:50:20. > :50:47.At 16, this was a little Brucie bonus. Shortened his approach and

:50:48. > :50:58.spun back to there, another birdie on the cards. And on the 18th, after

:50:59. > :51:04.a cracking tee shot. This is what you call a Tom Watson special. Do

:51:05. > :51:13.you remember that? I certainly do, a majestic shot. He would have been

:51:14. > :51:18.thinking about possible victory. Then things happen, others fade

:51:19. > :51:28.away, finishes with an eagle three, majestic. He is thinking he has got

:51:29. > :51:36.a good prize here. Lo and behold, a bit like Paul Lowry, finished well

:51:37. > :51:47.and after that, he is the champion. Equalled the course record. Superb.

:51:48. > :51:53.Wonderful round of golf. It truly was quite a remarkable round of golf

:51:54. > :51:56.from Alex Noren. Henrik Sweet -- Henrik Stenson had this robbery to

:51:57. > :52:06.finish with a birdie on the 18th and he would finish on 8-under par --

:52:07. > :52:16.had this putt to finish. Shane Lowry with his second shot to the par

:52:17. > :52:24.5/18. It looked good and it was good. That would leave him a putt to

:52:25. > :52:30.finish with an eagle. And after a double bogey on the 17th, this putt

:52:31. > :52:33.would go to make amends a little bit. Finished with an eagle and he

:52:34. > :52:45.would finish the tournament on 7-under par. Japan's Hideto Tanihara

:52:46. > :52:48.had an excellent day around the West Course yesterday but did not go

:52:49. > :52:53.quite so well today, that putt perhaps summing up his round but he

:52:54. > :53:06.would knock that in for a par and a very respectable finish of 8-under.

:53:07. > :53:11.A birdie from Francesco Molinari on the 17th meant that he needed this

:53:12. > :53:16.birdie putt for an outright second place and in it would go, 9-under

:53:17. > :53:22.par for Francesco Molinari and he would finish two behind Alex Noren.

:53:23. > :53:26.He was eighth last year, sixth in 2008 but confirmation that the sheer

:53:27. > :53:31.Alex Noren has become the first Swede to win the BMW PGA

:53:32. > :53:35.Championship and he did it in some style, a course record equalling 62,

:53:36. > :53:38.also equalling the largest comeback in this event, starting the final

:53:39. > :54:02.day seven shots behind. What a way to end the week.

:54:03. > :54:05.Francesco Molinari with that birdie on the 18th to take a right second,

:54:06. > :54:08.just ahead of a group that included Open Champion Henrik Stenson on

:54:09. > :54:10.8-under par. I am joined by the Tour executive, Doctor Ian Robertson from

:54:11. > :54:13.BMW and Alex Noren. Before we hand over the trophy, Ian you must be

:54:14. > :54:16.delighted although it is a bit wet now. I thought we were going to get

:54:17. > :54:19.away with the weather, but the British weather always comes in. To

:54:20. > :54:21.give a trophy to such a valiant winner who did -10 on the day, great

:54:22. > :54:24.crowds, 109,000 over the tournament and even the Pro-Am we had records.

:54:25. > :54:28.We are delighted. I will let you hand over the trophy.

:54:29. > :54:34.Congratulations Alex Noren. Congratulations. It is heavy. Some

:54:35. > :54:40.big winners on there. There are some big winners on there. How delighted

:54:41. > :54:47.are you to be holding this, you're fit one in the space of a year? I

:54:48. > :54:50.feel extremely happy. I have had trouble on this course, I made the

:54:51. > :54:57.tournament too big in my mind to come close to a win and to pull it

:54:58. > :55:04.off, it is amazing. It was weird to wait. Nine holes to go, it was

:55:05. > :55:09.weird. Seven shots back you were at the start of today, what we are

:55:10. > :55:15.expectations coming in? Was a 62 in your mind? Not at all. I tried to

:55:16. > :55:20.play a good round of golf. I played pretty well, the first three days.

:55:21. > :55:25.Bad finish yesterday. I was angry coming off the golf course. Tried to

:55:26. > :55:31.get a good round. Try to get some momentum going. It is a big event.

:55:32. > :55:38.Every point counts and that was my thought at the beginning. A lot of

:55:39. > :55:42.good putts and then, if I could post a good run, we would see what would

:55:43. > :55:46.happen. He posted a great round but you still had a little way to find

:55:47. > :55:50.out if you would get your hands on the trophy, top pay through what it

:55:51. > :55:53.is like sitting on the players lounge watching the golfers come

:55:54. > :55:58.through? It is weird, especially when your friends say it is done.

:55:59. > :56:04.You do not want to take your win too early. It was very weird. I remember

:56:05. > :56:08.sitting in the lounge in the past, when the other guys had not teed off

:56:09. > :56:15.and I was finish with my last round and I did not want to be in that

:56:16. > :56:21.position. Now, it was the opposite. Congratulations on an incredible 62,

:56:22. > :56:29.equalling the course record. Your 2017, BMW PGA Championship, Alex

:56:30. > :56:34.Noren. It really was a sensational round of golf from Alex Noren, Ken

:56:35. > :56:38.Brown with me just now. It was so impressive on so many levels, but

:56:39. > :56:45.what impressed you the most? He managed to get out in 31, but he

:56:46. > :56:51.just kept going and a lovely birdie at the 14th. The 15th, he holed are

:56:52. > :56:56.really good clutch. Just kept the momentum going. And mass of 116 and

:56:57. > :57:00.a brilliant one at 18 and an eagle at the last. 11-under par, you

:57:01. > :57:06.thought there would be challenges. I thought someone could equal him. Are

:57:07. > :57:09.you disappointed that the challenge did not materialise? Henrik Stenson

:57:10. > :57:11.came out of the traps flying and you thought perhaps it would be his
