:01:32. > :01:36.Murray Firth from this clubhouse and all over the links. This is the most
:01:36. > :01:41.northerly UK golf course ever to host a European Tour event. Final
:01:41. > :01:44.day of this Scottish Open and it brings to a close a three-year stint
:01:44. > :01:48.here at Castle Stuart, though we'll be back again in the future. But
:01:48. > :01:52.there is a feeling we might just have left the very best until last,
:01:52. > :01:57.because there is a couple of golfing heavy weights who have muscled their
:01:57. > :02:04.way on to the leaderboard and are ready to slug it out for the title
:02:04. > :02:07.and �500,000 first prize. Yesterday, Scotland's half-way leader Chris
:02:07. > :02:15.Doak couldn't maintain his grip at the head, finishing five shots off
:02:15. > :02:20.the pace after shooting a one over par round of 73. But, England's John
:02:20. > :02:25.Parry had momentum. The Harrogate golfer had opened up with 64 on
:02:25. > :02:32.Thursday, but came home with 66 to sit two shots off the pace. Also
:02:32. > :02:40.signing for 66 was South Africa's Branden Grace. He loves this style
:02:40. > :02:45.of golf. He racked up seven birdies. And sitting on the same mark, JB
:02:45. > :02:49.Hansen, who had signed for a tleeR under par round of 69. But one of
:02:49. > :02:54.the biggest cheers on Saturday was reserved for this putt from Phil
:02:54. > :02:59.Mickleson. It was one of six birdies in the last 11 from the high-ranked
:02:59. > :03:05.player here. A charge that booked him into the final pairing and there
:03:05. > :03:09.he was joined by the Swede Henrik Stenson. He fired a 64 on Friday and
:03:09. > :03:19.followed it up with a 66 on Saturday. The Swede who was one
:03:19. > :03:23.ranked as high as number four in the world, but who is emerging from a
:03:23. > :03:27.career slump. All heading into the all-important fourth round. A highly
:03:27. > :03:37.significant round to come. This was the picture before things had got
:03:37. > :03:40.
:03:40. > :03:45.qualified for the Open. The others were chasing the one remaining
:03:45. > :03:48.qualifying spot that would come with the title here. Big crowds here in
:03:48. > :03:53.the highlands were loving the idea of watching two of the most
:03:53. > :03:57.mercurial characters in golf, Stenson and four-time Major winner,
:03:57. > :04:01.Mickleson going toe to toe on the final day. We have had pretty calm
:04:01. > :04:08.conditions here all week, but the wind was forecast to get up this
:04:08. > :04:12.afternoon and that was going to make things a lot tougher. Add to that,
:04:12. > :04:15.the unforced error, straight left from the semi-rough for Phil on the
:04:15. > :04:19.first hole and you are right up against it and Phil wouldn't recover
:04:19. > :04:23.on the first green. This one horse-shoes out for the double
:04:24. > :04:27.bogey. Not the start he imagined. Henrik Stenson was looking very much
:04:27. > :04:32.in control. A steady opening par, followed by this chip shot from a
:04:32. > :04:38.long par five second, setting up an opening birdie of the day and a move
:04:39. > :04:48.to 17 under. Rookie JB Hansen had a treble start. But he gamely picked
:04:48. > :04:57.two shots back up at the next two. And Mickleson had his crampons on at
:04:57. > :05:01.the second. Only a single round in the 60s for this boy. And John Parry
:05:01. > :05:06.of England, one of the men fighting to claim an Open spot had bogeyed
:05:06. > :05:11.the opening hole, but steadied to the third to return to 14 under.
:05:11. > :05:14.Much more to come. Stenson was having extended his lead to three
:05:14. > :05:19.shots from Parry and Branden Grace in the tie for second. Mickleson

:56:34. > :56:39.well in the play-off. He just made a special shot. You can't fight
