:01:03. > :01:07.Good afternoon. Welcome to one of the best days in sport - the fourth
:01:07. > :01:12.and final round of the Open. This is the 140 of the Championship,
:01:12. > :01:16.being played in Kent, and that is the leader, coming into the final
:01:16. > :01:21.day - Darren Clarke has a one-shot Mac advantage as he makes his way
:01:21. > :01:25.to the clubhouse and begins preparations for his tee time at
:01:25. > :01:31.ten past two. In the mix to clean the Claret Jug, a fascinating,
:01:31. > :01:37.interesting combination of young blood and old heads. We will be
:01:37. > :01:40.here on BBC One and on BBC One HB, until seven o'clock, to seek who
:01:40. > :01:44.wins the Claret Jug this time though stop it has been a long time
:01:44. > :01:50.since Darren Clarke found himself in the final pairing of a Major,
:01:50. > :01:53.some 14 years, and he aims to claim a remarkable triple of Major titles
:01:53. > :01:57.for Northern Ireland after the successes of Graeme McDowell and
:01:57. > :02:07.Rory McIlroy in the past the team once. So much to look forward to,
:02:07. > :02:09.
:02:09. > :02:15.but let's see who is playing in Lucas Glover joins Miguel Angel
:02:15. > :02:20.Jiminez on the tee at ten-two. Two o'clock is the call time for Thomas
:02:20. > :02:26.Bjorn and Rickie Fowler, Rickie Fowler aiming to been the youngest
:02:26. > :02:32.Open champion since Seve Ballesteros in 1979. He, too, was
:02:32. > :02:35.22, then. Then it is Dustin Johnson and Darren Clarke - 14 years since
:02:35. > :02:41.Darren Clarke was in the final pairing in a Major. This is the
:02:41. > :02:48.situation as we head into the last day. No one making an impression
:02:48. > :02:52.yet. Conditions making things difficult with the wind gusting.
:02:52. > :02:57.One or two golf balls or so leading on the greens. That is potentially
:02:57. > :03:02.problematic. Let us hope that the wind has not get up too much and
:03:02. > :03:08.that there is a poor pass for everyone today. One of the men who
:03:08. > :03:15.has been going well so far, Sergio Garcia, 2-under after four, out in
:03:15. > :03:21.the company or Rory McIlroy, but still some seven shots back. Just
:03:21. > :03:27.to remind you, BBC One, and BBC H D, as we go through to the conclusion
:03:27. > :03:30.of this Championship. Rory McIlroy, it would appear that is jammed --
:03:30. > :03:36.challenge of winning the Claret Jug might be at an end, because he has
:03:36. > :03:41.not made the greatest of starts, 1- over after four. 5-over for the
:03:41. > :03:45.Championship, but think of Paul Lawrie ensures back in 1991. You
:03:45. > :03:51.would not have believed he would be the winner of the Open Championship
:03:51. > :03:56.then. So much drama and excitement to look of what do. And there is
:03:56. > :04:00.Darren Clarke, proudly on top of the leaderboard, will he be there
:04:00. > :04:04.innocuous time? We have been watching golf on BBC Two. Dr
:04:04. > :04:14.getting straight back out there and the company of Andrew Cotter and
:04:14. > :04:28.
:04:28. > :04:38.Yesterday he said he putted well but he's still left a couple out
:04:38. > :04:38.
:04:38. > :04:41.there. McIlroy with his second shot to five. I think for Rory McIlroy,
:04:41. > :04:46.all the expiation -- all the expectation was on them this week
:04:46. > :04:52.but he has come to the realisation that he is not going to be the Open
:04:52. > :04:55.champion of 2011. You can see it in his body language. He is slightly
:04:55. > :05:04.depleted. This is the first time he has played since his US Open
:05:04. > :05:09.victory. I think he might be more comfortable, once he gets on to the
:05:09. > :05:16.US PGA in Atlanta or. This week came a little bit too early, and
:05:16. > :05:21.perhaps a little bit too much pressure upon him. Not really has
:05:21. > :05:30.conditions. Others can perhaps cope with it slightly better a bus-stop
:05:30. > :05:40.Sergio Garcia playing alongside, for example, a marvellous shot! Oh,
:05:40. > :05:41.
:05:41. > :05:48.dear. So, Garcia, a bright start he has made, compared to McIlroy.
:05:48. > :05:53.Second birdie on the fourth. A birdie coming on five. We talked
:05:53. > :06:00.about someone who could make a move from far back. Difficult today, but
:06:00. > :06:04.this will be the third birdie for Sergio Garcia. There is the leader,
:06:04. > :06:10.Darren Clarke up chubby Chandler, former player and now it manager,
:06:10. > :06:17.giving him some putting advice. Lewis Martin has more deer on the
:06:17. > :06:21.side there. He's using one of the stretch sticks that is becoming
:06:21. > :06:26.popular with the players. We will see Darren going through some
:06:26. > :06:31.stretching routines with that later. This is something Phil Mickelson
:06:31. > :06:35.used to do, practice putting first, then go to the range, rather than
:06:35. > :06:40.the more conventional way. He might be back here on the green after he
:06:40. > :06:48.has hit a few shots those top we can go back down to the practice
:06:48. > :06:53.ground where Davis Love is talking Lots of people in the reckoning
:06:54. > :06:57.here. Yes, you never know with golf, you never know with the weather. We
:06:57. > :07:03.might get more rain today so you just have to go out there and
:07:03. > :07:07.survive. See what happens. Do you have a number in mind given that
:07:07. > :07:11.Darren Clarke has something of a lead? The best thing is not to look
:07:11. > :07:15.at the leaderboard and just shoot as well as you can. I don't know if
:07:15. > :07:25.that is possible. Just go out and play golf and enjoy the Open
:07:25. > :07:42.
:07:42. > :07:48.Championship and if things work out, eight green. -- eighth. Tom Lewis,
:07:48. > :07:53.good for distance. Flying along, an eagle -- an eagle on seventh,
:07:53. > :08:01.taking him back to 3-over. Was he wearing open-toed sandals
:08:01. > :08:07.yesterday? Yes, he has been winning them for a long, long time. Hard to
:08:07. > :08:17.change old habits. At some point we have to start to consider
:08:17. > :08:18.
:08:18. > :08:28.hyperthermia! It is bouncy, out there in the Channel. Just par on
:08:28. > :08:56.
:08:56. > :09:00.from Peter -- Uihlein.And distance, the cooling towers of a
:09:00. > :09:10.disused power station, standing watch all were this part of the
:09:10. > :09:12.
:09:12. > :09:16.country, a huge piece of golfing terrain. -- standing watch over.
:09:16. > :09:25.Bubba Watson, down the hill, it should break a touch from left to
:09:25. > :09:35.right. A little bit more, and it would have held its line, but par
:09:35. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :10:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:10:31. > :10:41.fives are bread-and-butter four the breeze, that is not too bad.
:10:41. > :10:43.
:10:44. > :10:47.the tee, Raphael Jaquelin! Rounds of 74, 67, 71, for Raphael Jaquelin.
:10:47. > :10:53.One of three French player still remaining in the field on the
:10:53. > :10:57.weekend, and if Thomas Levet is listening, who was injured after
:10:57. > :11:03.celebrating winning the French Open by jumping into the lake beside the
:11:03. > :11:13.18th green, I am sorry that you are not here, everyone misses you. That
:11:13. > :11:18.
:11:18. > :11:28.is a good drive there from Raphael Jaquelin. A brief shower. Simon
:11:28. > :11:32.
:11:32. > :11:36.Dyson remains me off -- of the Energiser bunny. Has some very fast
:11:36. > :11:42.mannerisms and gets excited. Yes, he is good to watch, just a pace
:11:42. > :11:47.that he plays up. He probably has to work on slowing himself down,
:11:47. > :11:53.and keeping an even pace, and walking off the first tee, take
:11:53. > :11:59.long, slow strides and swing the arms, purposefully. Just to try and
:11:59. > :12:09.slow everything down. There is Charl Schwartzel, second, to the
:12:09. > :12:19.
:12:19. > :12:24.that, for his par, good birdie at the first. I don't know if they
:12:24. > :12:34.have just got the umbrellas up just to keep the wind off but they are
:12:34. > :12:35.
:12:35. > :12:45.shivering out there. Palmer into the wind, good recovery! -- Turn it
:12:45. > :12:52.
:12:52. > :13:02.into the wind. Look where Freddie Jackson is beaming here. --
:13:02. > :13:16.
:13:16. > :13:26.eight hole. -- Tom Lewis. Well done, big putt on seven for eagle, that,
:13:26. > :13:28.
:13:28. > :13:37.for par, on it. -- eight. I thought that was the longest tee shot of
:13:37. > :13:43.the day, but that was for par. That was when this is caused when pulled
:13:43. > :13:50.his driver out and put it on the table. Let me just check on Peter
:13:50. > :13:56.Uihlein. Take over at the moment. It would be fitting if Tom Lewis
:13:56. > :14:06.was to win that silver medal. Back to Sergio Garcia on the sixth hole.
:14:06. > :14:32.
:14:32. > :14:40.into the breeze, left to right, to hold it up into the breeze, but he
:14:40. > :14:50.just overdid it. You can see the plane flattering there on the right
:14:50. > :14:53.
:14:53. > :15:03.hand side, the wind into their face. Just at about one o'clock. -- the
:15:03. > :15:24.
:15:24. > :15:30.birdie, one bogey -- McIlroy. have been very much entertained by
:15:30. > :15:33.the antics and the golf of Miguel Angel Jimenez this week. Let's hear
:15:33. > :15:39.from him now. Have you been for a run this
:15:39. > :15:48.morning to get ready for today? course. I have been to run along
:15:48. > :15:52.the sea coast, beautiful. It would be very, very special with so many
:15:52. > :16:02.pictures of Seve Ballesteros for you to win today. That would be
:16:02. > :16:06.
:16:06. > :16:11.great, you know. Whatever is coming is coming. That is it, you know.
:16:11. > :16:21.wish you the very best. ANDREW COTTER: his attitude stands
:16:21. > :16:37.
:16:37. > :16:47.him in good stead for the final day South Africans with a beautiful
:16:47. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :17:00.same order, isn't it? Routines normally are, and he does it all
:17:00. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:18.soon. He looks like a sumo wrestler when he goes down on his haunches.
:17:18. > :17:18.
:17:18. > :18:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:18:09. > :18:19.round the six as ever, a natural beat next week, although you have
:18:19. > :18:19.
:18:19. > :20:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:20:22. > :20:32.watching, that is what you need to describes these as the most
:20:32. > :20:32.
:20:32. > :21:28.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:21:28. > :21:38.difficult greens on the Open the right side there. A great tee
:21:38. > :21:57.
:21:57. > :22:02.Playing to the galleries. The Jimenez shuffle. This is the
:22:02. > :22:12.interesting one. If you can do all of the other stuff, just bend down
:22:12. > :22:51.
:22:51. > :22:54.whether it has gone into one of the bunkers. At least it is the Open so
:22:54. > :22:57.there are a lot of people around and do have a chance of finding it.
:22:57. > :23:07.Imagine doing that playing on your own, you would be walking around
:23:07. > :23:33.
:23:33. > :23:39.who does not wear a hat or cap. Never used to wear a glove either
:23:39. > :23:42.but suddenly took to it. I didn't wear a glove until I won my first
:23:42. > :23:52.tournament, then they started giving them to me. And you thought,
:23:52. > :24:26.
:24:26. > :24:36.why not? I could not afford them crowds than St George's. I know a
:24:36. > :24:49.
:24:49. > :24:53.lot of them have had a hard time Open after more than 15 attempts.
:24:53. > :24:58.This is Darren Clarke's 20th tilt at the Claret Jug. Can perseverance
:24:58. > :25:03.paid? Good things come to those who wait, as they say in parts of
:25:03. > :25:07.Ireland. Let's get a word with him on the practice range.
:25:07. > :25:12.There is the applause for you, a lot at stake today. Are you looking
:25:12. > :25:17.forward to the challenge? Yes, it will be a tough day with the wind,
:25:17. > :25:21.but it will be fun, I will do my best and see how we get on. If you
:25:21. > :25:26.strike the ball like yesterday it will give you a good opportunity.
:25:26. > :25:31.hope I do, I will hit the ball the same way as yesterday and hopefully
:25:31. > :25:37.give myself some chances. Well the key be to stay with it when you do
:25:37. > :25:41.not get a break here and there? his golf, you get some good breaks
:25:41. > :25:44.and bad breaks, on a links course it gets windy, so you have to
:25:44. > :25:54.accept it and move on and make the best of whatever position you are
:25:54. > :26:03.
:26:04. > :26:08.in. We wish you the best. ANDREW COTTER: Wishing him well.
:26:08. > :26:18.Everybody, it seems, supporting Darren Clarke today. Mark James is
:26:18. > :26:29.
:26:29. > :26:35.guys making birdies. Plenty of stellar groups yet to go out.
:26:35. > :26:45.you like that? He borrowed that from Ken Brown, I have seen it in
:26:45. > :26:51.
:26:51. > :27:01.week, I think he is top 10 in greens in regulation so far this
:27:01. > :27:19.
:27:19. > :27:29.an extreme bounce left, but not too bad there. Rory McIlroy is on the
:27:29. > :27:57.
:27:57. > :28:07.would set him in the right could not quite make it out. Andrew
:28:07. > :28:25.
:28:25. > :28:35.Cotter has headed off, Jim Nance is playing companion Sergio is on a
:28:35. > :29:11.
:29:11. > :29:21.right now. Here is a chance to it high, get over that ridge.
:29:21. > :29:21.
:29:21. > :29:25.Confidence mounting for Sergio Garcia. Got that putt just inside
:29:25. > :29:35.20 feet. 5-under for the round, into red figures for the
:29:35. > :30:14.
:30:14. > :30:21.Championship. That would leapfrog programme. Mark Pougatch is talking
:30:21. > :30:25.You have played well despite having the worst of the weather all week.
:30:26. > :30:31.That must give you confidence going into this afternoon. Yes, I am in a
:30:31. > :30:35.good position coming into Sunday, so I am looking forward to enjoying
:30:35. > :30:40.a walk around St Georges and just to go out there and see what we can
:30:40. > :30:46.do. Can you enjoy it? There is a huge amount at stake, an Open
:30:46. > :30:49.Championship at the end of it. there is a lot of pressure and they
:30:49. > :30:59.have to make sure that I keep having fun out there and play
:30:59. > :31:05.
:31:05. > :31:15.grandfather was Japanese and it was him that got him started in the
:31:15. > :31:15.
:31:15. > :31:18.game of golf. His middle name is Ukata. He has a great chance to put
:31:18. > :31:28.ounce on his first Major Championship if he can perform like
:31:28. > :31:40.
:31:40. > :31:44.a round without changing position. If it was to change position after
:31:44. > :31:49.the put the putter down behind it, it is a one-shot penalty and he
:31:49. > :31:59.would have to replace the ball. He has grown the that, and it hasn't
:31:59. > :32:09.moved. Getting. -- get in. Sometimes you concentrate on the
:32:09. > :32:39.
:32:39. > :32:45.line so much, you forget about the Garcia some idea about the line,
:32:45. > :32:54.but it came up so short, and not sure that it helped at all. Raphael
:32:54. > :32:59.Jaquelin, the Frenchman. Second shot onto the second green, he
:32:59. > :33:09.birdied the first, that, for another one. Crucial putt on the
:33:09. > :33:11.
:33:11. > :33:15.way for Sergio Garcia. Climbing up the leaderboard for an eagle! Oh!
:33:15. > :33:25.Couldn't have been much closer. A tap-in birdie, his fourth of the
:33:25. > :33:27.
:33:27. > :33:35.round. He wanted more. That was certainly a good enough strike.
:33:35. > :33:45.That putt could have gone. Had he seen a little bit more of the
:33:45. > :33:58.
:33:58. > :34:02.He grounded his putter and the ball appeared to move. If he has
:34:02. > :34:06.grounded the putter and taking his stance and the ball has moved, it
:34:06. > :34:16.is a one-stroke penalty, then he needs to replace the ball where it
:34:16. > :34:24.
:34:24. > :34:29.putter behind the ball, he has taken his stance. Moved about four
:34:29. > :34:35.or five inches. That is rotten luck. He is at that point where reality
:34:35. > :34:41.hits, and it is final, it is not your week. You're absolutely right.
:34:41. > :34:45.Sometimes it is not your week. At Congressional, it was his week.
:34:45. > :34:55.This week, he has not played that badly but brings just have not
:34:55. > :34:59.happen for him. You are putting for a five. And a one-shot penalty. He
:34:59. > :35:09.could expect nothing more than another lapse of concentration over
:35:09. > :35:15.
:35:15. > :35:20.that want. That is a six for Championship, but of bounds at 14
:35:20. > :35:30.yesterday, unplayable at three today and that ball after moving it,
:35:30. > :35:38.
:35:38. > :35:45.addressing and grounding the putter, done! -- in the hole. We have not
:35:45. > :35:55.seen much of him this week, but level for the round, plus four for
:35:55. > :36:08.
:36:08. > :36:14.the Championship. It was a ever. He knew it, too. -- a weak
:36:14. > :36:24.effort. After a fine round yesterday. And he had to play in
:36:24. > :36:25.
:36:25. > :36:30.some of the real significance staff. --significant stuff. All eyes on
:36:30. > :36:34.the 42-year-old from Dungannon. He's using the stretching Paul. We
:36:34. > :36:37.saw that in Lucas Glover's Bank Elliot in the week. These old
:36:38. > :36:46.fellows are still pretty supple and pretty mobile and still very much
:36:46. > :36:51.in this Championship. And the man who has been managing Darren Clarke
:36:51. > :36:55.is Andrew Chandler. He has been out there today. A real fondness for
:36:55. > :37:03.one of his oldest lies. And he is there again talking to Mark
:37:03. > :37:07.Pougatch. -- one of his oldest In an interview you give to a
:37:07. > :37:10.newspaper this week when pushed about which one of your stable you
:37:10. > :37:16.would like to win, you said it would be great if Darren Clarke won
:37:16. > :37:21.the Open. I knew that he sort of crude. There have been a couple of
:37:21. > :37:24.close. He said to me a few weeks ago, I want to play and prepare
:37:24. > :37:30.properly because I am not going to have many more chances, so he came
:37:30. > :37:34.here knowing that he had a good chance. The weather is helping him,
:37:34. > :37:39.and the draw is helping him. He's really relax. What have you said to
:37:39. > :37:42.him? Nothing much. We talked normally at breakfast. I will have
:37:42. > :37:47.a couple of things to say to him before he tees off but he knows
:37:47. > :37:52.what he is doing. You just reminding him of things, not giving
:37:52. > :37:55.him advice. Is it because he is in a better place? Everyone knows what
:37:55. > :38:01.has happened in his private life - is the reason he is playing better
:38:01. > :38:05.because he is a better place, mentally? He has come back into
:38:05. > :38:10.play, his fiancee is here, his mum and dad are you, the kids are
:38:10. > :38:17.watching on TV. But things are better for him. He had a long spell
:38:17. > :38:21.were things were not right. He gets weeks like this. He just suddenly
:38:21. > :38:26.will relax for a whole week. And he is the same this week. He has just
:38:26. > :38:30.got to stay with it when things do not go his way. A pervert there was
:38:30. > :38:34.an observation in the past is that he would get down with him self and
:38:34. > :38:38.lose it for three or four holes. People like you keep telling him
:38:38. > :38:43.that he has got to do it. He knows that it is going to be a battle.
:38:43. > :38:53.But yesterday, his ball striking was so good, if he can repeat that

:05:35. > :05:43.this fairway rebels the ball. Anthony Kim have missed most of the

:05:48. > :05:53.is at that talent but he has only won a couple of times. This is the
:05:53. > :06:02.proud that we fall into. We place so much pressure and expectation on
:06:02. > :06:11.these young players. As soon as they start to show some signs of
:06:11. > :06:18.good play, all of a sudden they are the next coming. But that is a
:06:18. > :06:28.great tee shot from Anthony Kim. Another good two-ball is falling
:06:28. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:35.together. They will enjoy each other's companies. As soon as
:06:35. > :06:39.someone wins a tournament, it is that the match will be the next
:06:39. > :06:49.great player. When you consider that Rory McIlroy has only one,
:06:49. > :06:59.three times in his career. Ryan Palmer is down on the second. He
:06:59. > :07:00.
:07:00. > :07:10.has gone left. Not a bad line into this Ben, back right, today. --
:07:10. > :07:11.
:07:11. > :07:21.this pin. He has found almost the perfect shot. That will be a birdie.

:09:22. > :09:27.What has he got left? Phil Mickelson has got a pretty good lie
:09:27. > :09:37.out of the left rough. Much more accessible flag for an opening hole
:09:37. > :09:59.
:10:00. > :10:07.its worst, Phil Mickelson said that he challenged - relished the
:10:07. > :10:14.challenge of the tough conditions. And he did handle it quite well.
:10:14. > :10:20.Let's see if he is up for the challenge today. You saw the wind
:10:20. > :10:27.direction there, behind, and from the right. It looks like he is
:10:27. > :10:33.about to take off. As we head down the first, you can see the wind
:10:33. > :10:43.direction coming over the shoulders of this left-hander. He has just

:10:43. > :11:32.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:11:32. > :11:42.putting green, to first tee is Big Both men 1-under. Anthony Kim is

:12:35. > :12:44.holding out for four or five feet, keeping the balance, just getting
:12:44. > :12:49.his final touch. As we walk around the putting green, Dustin Johnson's
:12:49. > :12:55.pack -- caddy and coach. Slipping past here, Rickie Fowler, looking
:12:55. > :12:59.well. A very smart, you have got to say that. Looking forward to the
:12:59. > :13:05.challenge of the links, I am sure. Ready to go. And the outright
:13:05. > :13:08.leader, Darren Clarke, getting his final instructions. The most

:13:12. > :13:17.I spoke to him at the start of the week and he said he was playing
:13:17. > :13:22.brilliantly on the putting green, all I need to do is keep my head on.
:13:22. > :13:29.Just getting the final instructions of how to take these elements on.
:13:29. > :13:32.So, what the final Gladiators get a good touch. I am sure that Darren
:13:32. > :13:42.Clarke is going to get an ovation like we have never had before. Back

:13:48. > :13:52.conference to you that Darren Clarke was inspired by Davis Love
:13:52. > :13:58.here years ago. Coming down, better and better, a three-putt bogey at
:13:58. > :14:04.the past, but a birdie coming his way. As Ken said, let your attitude
:14:04. > :14:14.determine your golf game, not the other way around. McIlroy, at ten,
:14:14. > :14:22.for par. We are all guilty, when we get on the golf course, of goes
:14:22. > :14:32.ahead, and on goes the pump. It is almost as difficult to putt, as it
:14:32. > :14:41.
:14:41. > :14:45.this week, so he is right up there with the putting. He is the one
:14:45. > :14:55.that might determine -- the putter is the stick that might determine
:14:55. > :15:13.
:15:13. > :15:20.his outcome. On the tee, Lucas won't be a problem today. There is
:15:20. > :15:28.no rain. That looks like a good opening tee shot. On the tee from

:15:38. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :16:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds

:17:24. > :17:29.along by the slope and the wind Jimenez was asked, he mentioned, I
:17:29. > :17:32.hope the wind dies down. Secretly, all of these players don't want the

:30:58. > :31:05.first hole, not easy to get close. It has filed away on him, I fancy.
:31:05. > :31:10.-- fired. Not quite as fiery as it might have been. I think he thought
:31:10. > :31:15.that might have been in the next parish. Maureen Madill is out there
:31:15. > :31:19.following this man. This is going to be very interesting. Rickie

:31:45. > :31:55.and he is going down with a seven- You could see the force of the wind,
:31:55. > :32:10.
:32:10. > :32:20.Jiminez, but the idea is still there. Here is a snippet of
:32:20. > :32:30.information - 100 years ago, Harry Vardon won the Championship, and
:32:30. > :32:34.
:32:34. > :32:44.the runner-up was Arnaud Masset the Frenchman. One written -- 100 years
:32:44. > :32:51.
:32:51. > :32:58.ago to this very day. That was quite well played by Peter Uihlein.
:32:58. > :33:08.The thought hole for full Mickelson. -- the third hole. Have you noticed
:33:08. > :33:09.
:33:09. > :33:18.that he favours pin stripes? It's that is not enough. Not quite
:33:18. > :33:28.enough. That information about Harry Vardon came from Tommy Walton,
:33:28. > :33:29.
:33:29. > :33:39.Jersey Tom. Did he play with him that you? I don't think so. Sorry,
:33:39. > :33:42.
:33:42. > :33:52.Tom! Anthony Kim with a 4-iron, 220 out. We have seen Phil Mickelson's
:33:52. > :33:52.
:33:52. > :34:02.ball get caught by the wind, with that tug to the left. The crowd are
:34:02. > :34:27.
:34:27. > :34:37.applauding, we do not see it, it is becoming almost as famous as the
:34:37. > :34:38.
:34:38. > :34:47.players -- Ivor Robson. He and his wife used to run the best hotel in
:34:47. > :34:53.Moffett, years ago. Take it away, Ivor. Ladies and gentlemen, this is
:34:53. > :35:03.the final game of the 140 Open Championship. From the USA, Dustin
:35:03. > :35:15.
:35:15. > :35:25.first three rounds, averaging 334 yards. Interesting swing and follow
:35:25. > :35:29.
:35:29. > :35:39.through. That is over than. Could be all right. -- over them. On the
:35:39. > :35:49.
:35:49. > :35:59.tee, from Northern Ireland, Darren 69, another one would do the trick,
:35:59. > :36:09.
:36:09. > :36:19.time again. That is in the thick stuff. Two slightly nervous opening
:36:19. > :36:23.
:36:23. > :36:32.gambits, I fancy. It Dustin Johnson's simply had told the crowd.
:36:32. > :36:39.-- hurdled. An enthusiastic crowd, urging Darren Clarke on. It is nice
:36:39. > :36:49.to have good support as long as the mad do not get carried away. -- as
:36:49. > :37:27.
:37:27. > :37:37.long as they do not get carried first. He doesn't hang about, this
:37:37. > :38:11.
:38:11. > :38:20.important on the first green. Just Edward Bryce is a past captain of
:38:21. > :38:30.Royal St George's. He is Miguel Angel Jiminez at the second. --
:38:31. > :38:36.
:38:36. > :38:42.here is. And that skips up nicely left. I think they are tangled up
:38:42. > :38:48.with that fencing. What happens there, Ian? If the ball was on the
:38:48. > :38:53.outside left of the fencing within four club lengths the player is
:38:53. > :39:01.entitled to a free drop on the inside of the fencing or he can
:39:02. > :39:11.play the ball, as it lies. If defence into a fears, he can take
:39:12. > :39:23.
:39:23. > :39:30.out free drop, from there. -- into open -- draw this at the side of
:39:30. > :39:40.defence. He's obviously within two club lengths and he has got a fair
:39:40. > :39:47.
:39:47. > :39:57.enough lie - he is not a million the stroke he dropped at the first.
:39:57. > :39:58.
:39:58. > :40:08.This would be a good one to hit back with immediately. Good three.
:40:08. > :40:39.
:40:39. > :40:49.Sliding by. A big bite. -- eight. He is four ahead of Peter Uihlein,
:40:49. > :40:51.
:40:51. > :41:01.who only has one to play. Four-shot lead. Darren Clarke has left
:41:01. > :41:03.
:41:03. > :41:10.himself 155 yards, strong wind from the right side. This is what height.
:41:10. > :41:16.-- with height. That is a good result from there. Good distance
:41:16. > :41:26.from the flag, but a not very good opening tee shot. But the pain will
:41:26. > :41:30.
:41:30. > :41:37.go away. Up he has a good big job on his hands today. Excel II.
:41:37. > :41:45.Wonder what you -- what they about they're doing. Are you an expert on
:41:45. > :41:52.boats, Peter? Not quite sure about that. This is his third shot. It
:41:52. > :42:01.looks OK for a birdie. It's going to get some showers this afternoon,
:42:01. > :42:11.that is the forecast. The Dustin Johnson to go draw on the side of
:42:11. > :42:16.
:42:16. > :42:26.defence -- took a drop. This is for Tom Watson's birdie, at ten. Couple
:42:26. > :42:27.
:42:27. > :42:37.over for the Jo, so far, good line, but no pace. -- for the day.
:42:37. > :43:04.
:43:04. > :43:12.do. It is a monstrous par three. -- today. He is hitting back into the
:43:12. > :43:21.wind and he only has got a wedge, and we see the wind speed there, 33
:43:21. > :43:31.miles an hour. That was a wonderful shot. Very well played. From the
:43:31. > :43:31.
:43:31. > :44:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:44:16. > :44:26.Coming round a little bit and club. That is well short. You can
:44:26. > :44:27.
:44:27. > :44:34.hear the wind and the cameras. -- on the cameras. Rickie Fowler, at
:44:34. > :44:43.the second. Just keeping to the right side of the flag. He managed
:44:43. > :44:53.to get some bite on that. Trying its hardest to get back, not bad. I
:44:53. > :44:54.
:44:54. > :45:00.thought he had fired that right over the green. Simon Dyson, now.
:45:00. > :45:10.Seventh hole, a couple over today. That was a good bounce. Go on,
:45:10. > :45:10.
:45:10. > :45:18.hustle, come on, Ben round! That was a magical result. Never
:45:18. > :45:25.complain until the ball stopped rolling! And Darren Clarke has a
:45:25. > :45:30.monstrously long putt, here. This is not the kind of putt you want on
:45:30. > :45:34.that first hole. There is a nasty ridge 20 feet short of the hole,
:45:34. > :45:39.have to gawp over it, then down the other side, it is very fast, so it
:45:39. > :45:44.is difficult to get the right pace on that. Once it goes down the
:45:44. > :45:47.other side, it is a little left to right. And when it was left to
:45:47. > :45:57.right it will be going almost straight downwind, and that will
:45:57. > :46:36.
:46:36. > :46:43.he could knock that one in. -- what Rickie Fowler. He played absolutely
:46:43. > :46:53.brilliantly yesterday. Dyson at the 7th for an eagle after that
:46:53. > :47:18.
:47:18. > :47:21.the pressure on Darren Clarke. very nervous one there. He has a
:47:21. > :47:31.reputation for being a very good putter. Obviously thought by the
:47:31. > :48:05.
:48:06. > :48:10.wind or the slope or something. -- conditions this week and I know we
:48:10. > :48:20.do not have rain right now, but I don't think the wind has been any
:48:20. > :48:43.
:48:43. > :48:53.stronger than it is at this present that was really travelling, too.
:48:53. > :48:54.
:48:54. > :49:04.That really is a settler. That was a great putt. That will make Darren
:49:04. > :49:04.
:49:04. > :50:22.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 55 seconds
:50:22. > :50:32.that hole but they got through it 18th. Best round of the day so far,
:50:32. > :50:40.
:50:40. > :50:50.right hand side, our friends from ESPN, ABC, the BBC equipment, all
:50:50. > :51:03.
:51:03. > :51:06.there to show you this picture, on the course. Second shot, trying
:51:06. > :51:12.to draw it to the right, and has made a pretty good job of that.
:51:12. > :51:22.What a wonderful shot. He deserved a bit better, beautifully played.
:51:22. > :51:59.
:51:59. > :52:04.Mickelson showing he has got all of shot yesterday, the final pair,
:52:04. > :52:14.Darren Clarke was one of them. A different partner yesterday, but I
:52:14. > :52:22.
:52:22. > :52:30.hope they will not be held up too tournament on a three, but he
:52:30. > :52:40.hasn't. A big weight to see what club Dustin Johnson would hit off
:52:40. > :53:20.
:53:20. > :53:30.there, but he is down, he his round, be a problem for Darren Clarke. I
:53:30. > :53:53.
:53:53. > :54:03.think the ground is a bit softer needs the best 4-iron he has ever
:54:03. > :54:10.
:54:10. > :54:20.hit in his life. Dragged it away down there. Three-quarter 3-iron I
:54:20. > :54:48.
:54:48. > :54:58.fancy with this shot today. Rickie had a pretty good week but may not
:54:58. > :55:03.get the medal. A round of 75 today, a total of 292. Great clouds
:55:03. > :55:07.sweeping across the course. We have a huge amount of people today,
:55:07. > :55:15.massive car traffic coming in. Many of you will know that Alex Hay
:55:15. > :55:20.sadly died last month. The funeral arrangements are tomorrow week at
:55:20. > :55:30.Woburn, 12 noon. That is the best information I can defeat. A dear
:55:30. > :56:02.
:56:02. > :56:12.friend, I am told it will be a is in the box with me. Thanks,
:56:12. > :56:40.
:56:40. > :56:46.Peter. Chad Campbell on seven for the players are out on the course
:56:46. > :56:50.now at the leaderboard. Darren Clarke steady and solid after that
:56:50. > :56:54.wonderful putt at the first to remain at 5-under, but Phil
:56:54. > :57:04.Mickelson making good progress. The last American to win a Major title.

:58:31. > :58:40.
:58:40. > :58:49.he was trying to hit. But it has his trips out on to the course.
:58:49. > :58:55.Welcome back. Thank you, it is still blowing out there, Peter.
:58:55. > :59:05.would blow a dog of a chain. It is a bit like that. The temperature is
:59:05. > :59:14.
:59:14. > :59:19.very good, this fella. I am a bit mixed on this final day. I would
:59:19. > :59:23.love to see Darren Clarke win, I would love to see Thomas Bjorn win.
:59:23. > :59:33.I would love to see Rickie Fowler for another young brigade. So many
:59:33. > :59:47.
:59:47. > :59:51.Dyson. -- birdie on 8. Two-over-par, 1-under for his round. And this is
:59:51. > :59:56.another story here, Dustin Johnson. He was in the lead, had a chance to
:59:56. > :00:02.win a couple of Majors last year and didn't, and then you have got
:00:02. > :00:05.Lucas Glover who won the US Open in 2009, trying to win a second
:00:05. > :00:15.Championship to prove the first was not a fluke. Everyone has got
:00:15. > :00:31.
:00:31. > :00:41.suggested studying the videos of Pebble Beach. I would not have
:00:41. > :01:11.
:01:11. > :01:15.studied them, I would have burnt looks like he is trying to get a
:01:15. > :01:25.few people cleared out of the way. This is on the 4th. You can see the
:01:25. > :01:38.
:01:38. > :01:46.flag fluttering. He has to hit it feet here. This is for a two shot
:01:46. > :01:56.lead. It is straight in. I great putt on the first has to give him
:01:56. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :02:24.happened at there. -- what happened there. He has played the front nine
:02:24. > :02:34.quite well. A couple under-par. Two in front. Johnson with a typically
:02:34. > :02:46.
:02:46. > :02:54.a few of those through the day, aren't you? And with the wind
:02:54. > :03:04.blowing so hard, you have to be very careful, even on those little
:03:04. > :03:05.
:03:05. > :03:12.tap-ins. HAZEL IRVINE: That birdie has taken
:03:12. > :03:22.Darren Clarke two shots clear of Dustin Johnson. Chad Campbell is
:03:22. > :03:30.making progress, 2-under for his round. Anthony Kim is going well,
:03:30. > :03:40.but a dropped shot at the 4th means he is level. Simon Dyson is the top
:03:40. > :03:50.
:03:50. > :03:55.place Englishman. He is 1-under after that lovely birdie, eagle run.
:03:55. > :03:59.Anders Hansen is 3-over today. A disappointing run from him. He had
:03:59. > :04:03.been hoping to join Thomas Bjorn at the top of the leaderboard. At the
:04:03. > :04:13.moment, it is Darren Clarke making the running. He is the man they are

:04:58. > :05:04.up from problems -- I had a few they are contemplating changing. I

:05:34. > :05:34.
:05:34. > :05:44.danger is going too far. He has left himself a long putt. The wind
:05:44. > :05:46.
:05:46. > :05:52.is coming right across. I think today we're going to see some of
:05:52. > :06:02.this immense power that Dustin Johnson has. Incredible potential.

:06:16. > :06:22.This guy has as much potential as more difficult the shot becomes.
:06:22. > :06:32.Dustin Johnson is probably the best athlete in the field. He has
