:10:12. > :10:22.final hole. Alphabetical scores going through. It looks as if two-

:10:48. > :10:51.average, makes it awkward. Just thought it a little bit heavy.
:10:51. > :10:54.looks like they have worked out just how much the ball will run
:10:54. > :11:03.down those holes and put a little ridge of rough there to make it
:11:03. > :11:09.more difficult. Time for rest, for a leader. He looks very relaxed.
:11:09. > :11:19.That is a nice bit of rough, just behind him. This is a big moment

:11:39. > :11:46.What sort of club there? Just an eight-iron. An eight-iron? Goodness
:11:46. > :11:56.gracious! Hundred and 67 yards with an eight-iron on a still day.
:11:56. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:04.Magnificent shot. He has had up and down couple of days. A chance for a
:12:04. > :12:11.birdie on this final hole. His 36th hole. If he goes down in two parts,
:12:11. > :12:17.I am sure he will be here for the weekend. He is making hard work of
:12:17. > :12:24.it. Many of them are. It sounds simple to say, find a fair ways,
:12:24. > :12:34.three-putt. When you get down to it, it is as simple as that. You do not
:12:34. > :12:47.
:12:47. > :12:51.have to play Majid shot on every luck here. He carried over some
:12:51. > :13:01.horrible long rough on the bank there. His ball has ended up
:13:01. > :13:10.
:13:10. > :13:20.exactly where the marshals have to have any chance of making the
:13:20. > :13:26.
:13:26. > :13:29.cut. He has a monster putt left. There is more than a slight chance.
:13:29. > :13:39.The weather will have to deteriorate for three over to make
:13:39. > :13:49.the cut. You never know. It is not going to be more than three. Are we

:17:56. > :18:02.wait. Steve Stricker at the 16th Oosthuizen. He deserves it, he has

:18:34. > :18:44.up high and landing it beautifully. That would have been ridiculous!
:18:44. > :18:45.
:18:46. > :18:53.Nearly did it. It has been lacklustre for Rory McIlroy today,
:18:53. > :18:58.but two beautiful shots to the last. This for birdie. That sums up his
:18:59. > :19:08.day beautifully, I'm afraid. He will be here for the weekend,
:19:09. > :19:10.
:19:10. > :19:20.though. The early risers will have a great view of Rory McIlroy early
:19:20. > :19:59.
:19:59. > :20:09.in the morning on Saturday. Keegan Championship. The best of this
:20:09. > :20:19.group. A round of 68 for Louis Oosthuizen. He made it look very
:20:19. > :20:23.
:20:23. > :20:29.simple. Rory McIlroy, six drop shots. At the 9th, he just missed
:20:29. > :20:39.the target, dropped two shots. He is still in with the chance of a
:20:39. > :20:45.
:20:46. > :20:53.couple more good rounds. Birdie parked -- for Darren Clarke. His
:20:53. > :21:01.highlight yesterday was probably his first shots, a wonderful shot,
:21:01. > :21:11.hitting it to within eight feet. Very popular defending champion.
:21:11. > :21:21.
:21:21. > :21:31.Paul Lawrie. He rammed it in the back! He did well there. He missed
:21:31. > :21:37.
:21:37. > :21:47.the green. Zach Johnson to join Adam Scott at 6-under. Nicely done.
:21:47. > :21:57.

:22:40. > :22:44.
:22:44. > :22:50.CHEERING. 3-over par for his first round, Lee Westwood. Probably the
:22:50. > :23:00.great English hope for this week, even though Luke Donald is the
:23:00. > :23:27.
:23:27. > :23:37.world No. 1. His performance in when he is in full flow? On the tee,
:23:37. > :23:47.

:23:57. > :24:31.
:24:31. > :24:36.They are very good on home Watson. CHEERING. Big Bubba Watson,
:24:36. > :24:46.he is what the money to come in and watch, this guide. He works the
:24:46. > :24:53.
:24:53. > :25:01.ball every way. He does it in such an extraordinarily different style.
:25:01. > :25:08.I don't know what he was trying their. He was probably trying to
:25:08. > :25:12.hold that one! Nothing Bubba Watson does would surprise me. He has put
:25:12. > :25:20.it on the wrong spot in this opening hole. See that little buggy
:25:20. > :25:25.going along there? He is bringing you these pictures. It is never
:25:26. > :25:35.easy when someone is walking along beside you with the camera pointed
:25:36. > :25:36.
:25:36. > :25:46.up your nose. It is hard to look casual. There he is. Good balance,
:25:46. > :26:19.
:26:19. > :26:29.too. Rudy Horne, and his unicycle, not enough. Through 17 holes. A
:26:29. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:49.good solid round today at two shots under-par. That was a wild one! His
:26:49. > :26:57.on the edge between the rough stuff and the rope keeping the spectators
:26:57. > :27:07.back. He might hit it as hard as he can and not move at. Paul Lawrie,
:27:07. > :27:32.
:27:32. > :27:42.than he thought. Adam Scott. It came out remarkably well. I think
:27:42. > :27:49.
:27:49. > :27:58.Brandt Snedeker is faced with a has been around a long time now,
:27:58. > :28:05.eight time winner on the US Tour, still without a Major. Zach Johnson.
:28:05. > :28:11.One or two players today with this very quick, aggressive rhythm. It
:28:11. > :28:21.is very important to get your timing right. Your timing must be
:28:21. > :28:25.
:28:25. > :28:35.perfect. Tiger Woods's old caddy there. That came out remarkably
:28:35. > :28:35.
:28:35. > :29:24.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:29:24. > :29:34.cleanly. It was struck quite the 18th. Unlucky, just spinning
:29:34. > :29:42.
:29:42. > :29:50.back. Brandt Snedeker, it has come out all right. Look at this! How
:29:50. > :29:58.about that, wonderful shot. He remains 10-under par. Andrew
:29:58. > :30:08.culture, this guy has played some wonderful golf today. She is on
:30:08. > :30:16.fire -- she. When he gets that putter going, he is very, very
:30:16. > :30:26.impressive. When he gets himself in trouble, he gets out of it very,
:30:26. > :30:29.
:30:29. > :30:39.very well. A few drops of rain falling at the moment. First green,
:30:39. > :30:39.
:30:39. > :31:32.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:31:32. > :31:42.himself a little bit more work than a few dark clouds to the south.

:31:59. > :32:09.was supposed to be set fair we are the are the same all round the
:32:09. > :32:42.
:32:42. > :32:46.world. That is a par for what some We Westwood making his way to the
:32:46. > :32:56.second tee. A lot of work to do, clearly. He said he was not quite
:32:56. > :33:03.
:33:03. > :33:09.A round of 60 today. How did it go? I was hard on myself yesterday. In
:33:09. > :33:17.conditions like that, you need to shoot to a three-under-par Mac.
:33:17. > :33:27.Today was a bit better. I worked on the range with my coach. I found
:33:27. > :33:29.
:33:29. > :33:33.the shot I was looking for all week. I got lucky on a few tee-shots. I
:33:34. > :33:37.only made one putt inside 20 feet. We have been talking about the
:33:37. > :33:43.conditions. It looked perfect. Everything seemed right for great
:33:43. > :33:47.scoring conditions. You around with Rory McIlroy, he has struggled as
:33:47. > :33:52.well. We have been a bit mystified as to what some of the major
:33:52. > :33:56.problems where for you. What was giving everyone such grief?
:33:56. > :34:03.know this golf course. If you had one bad shot. That gets you in real
:34:04. > :34:08.trouble. It kind of snowballs. You make a bogey on the next hole, on
:34:08. > :34:11.the next hole, you do something wrong. You have got to be spot on
:34:11. > :34:19.the whole time. Today was difficult with the bunkers around the greens.
:34:19. > :34:21.They were full of water. Everyone knew it would be that way. He had
:34:21. > :34:31.the odd shot and it goes in the trap and you're going to struggle
:34:31. > :34:40.to get it out. It was difficult. I still saw quite a few birdies out
:34:40. > :34:44.there. You did indeed. The leader at the moment today, I put me in
:34:44. > :34:48.mind of Someone two years ago. When you look back at these wonderful
:34:49. > :34:53.pictures of you winning at claret jug, it was some real life-changing
:34:53. > :34:57.moment for you. In what ways has everything been different for you
:34:57. > :35:02.since then? It has been a great ride since then. It has opened a
:35:03. > :35:06.lot of doors, a lot of opportunities, I have been able to
:35:06. > :35:12.play golf all over the world. Confidence wise, it has done me the
:35:12. > :35:16.world of good. The position Bradleys in right now, it is a
:35:16. > :35:25.great spot to be in. You feel like you cannot do anything wrong. He
:35:25. > :35:29.has not made a bogey yet. If he goes 36 holes around this track
:35:29. > :35:33.without a bogey, that would have been something special. Once you
:35:33. > :35:37.get into the groove, hitting greens and making putts, you just want to
:35:37. > :35:47.keep playing. There are a whole host of South Africans, you have
:35:47. > :35:47.
:35:47. > :35:57.been dominated on the European tour. vibrant health? Here is Ernie Els
:35:57. > :36:07.
:36:07. > :36:16.Retief Goosen And Ernie Els started it. When you grow up, you wanted to
:36:16. > :36:22.be one of those two. He wanted to strive and achieve what they
:36:22. > :36:32.achieved. We have got a good programme for juniors in South
:36:32. > :36:33.
:36:33. > :36:40.Africa. The weather, you can play 247, you can play golf 52 weeks per
:36:40. > :36:46.year. In the winter, you can play. Other than that, we are exporting
:36:46. > :36:51.country. You're doing your bit for the tourist board there, clearly! A
:36:52. > :36:56.lot of people have been asking, are you over that defeat at the Masters
:36:56. > :37:00.in the play-off this year? He won the next week, obviously. As is
:37:00. > :37:05.still far too little that? I think I will probably be over at once I
:37:05. > :37:13.get the green jacket eventually. Getting that close to it, it hurts
:37:13. > :37:17.a lot. I got over it quickly and it would remind it -- my mind at ease
:37:17. > :37:23.the next time I play there, whenever I get the jacket. He gave
:37:23. > :37:27.everyone an amazing ride that weekend. Particularly with the
:37:27. > :37:36.albatross on that final day. It was wonderful stuff. What are your
:37:36. > :37:43.prospects for this Championship? all depends. I need a law round
:37:43. > :37:48.tomorrow. If I can shoot five-under tomorrow, I have a chance. Anything
:37:48. > :37:54.within six shots at the Open Championship is giving you a good
:37:54. > :37:57.chance. The wind may blow and people like yourself and this
:37:57. > :38:03.fellow, Padraig Harrington, know how to play in the wind. He is
:38:03. > :38:08.finishing off at the last. There is a lot of weather coming in, will be
:38:08. > :38:18.here, particularly on Sunday. Ewen Padraig Harrington will be in the
:38:18. > :38:27.
:38:27. > :38:37.next, I am sure. It has been a down at some of the players getting
:38:37. > :38:47.
:38:47. > :38:53.at two over par. This is his 10th Open Championship, he has only made
:38:53. > :39:03.the cut twice. It is unusual for such a fine player to have such a
:39:03. > :39:18.
:39:18. > :39:26.poor record here at the Open couple of rounds. There is the spin.
:39:26. > :39:32.Pleases the crowd, but very little has pleased Phil Mickelson today.
:39:32. > :39:36.Rather than the form of last week at Castle Stuart, it has been the
:39:36. > :39:46.form of three or four or five weeks previous to that, when he has been
:39:46. > :39:46.
:39:46. > :39:56.struggling. Some chanting greets the world No. 1, Luke Donald. He
:39:56. > :40:15.
:40:15. > :40:25.has given himself a chance for the par. If you take out the leader,
:40:25. > :40:27.
:40:27. > :40:37.he's just four behind. Here he is, setting a furious pace. It looks
:40:37. > :40:54.
:40:54. > :41:01.like they have missed the green hole-in-one. It should have given
:41:01. > :41:11.him the idea that he was going to do something special. After a drop
:41:11. > :41:23.
:41:23. > :41:33.shot on the third, Adam Scott is in much club won it out of the rough.
:41:33. > :41:33.

:43:09. > :43:14.the Open Championship. I is getting ahead of myself. Graeme McDowell
:43:15. > :43:24.was not playing with Tiger Woods. He is going through his final

:43:48. > :43:58.stretching routine alongside his par for Phil Mickelson. That is
:43:58. > :43:58.
:43:58. > :44:54.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:44:54. > :45:04.round. Paul Lawrie has wrapped up golf course today. A great opening
:45:04. > :45:33.
:45:33. > :45:43.round of 67 yesterday. He hit many a start! Right at the flag. Newly
:45:43. > :45:45.

:50:27. > :50:36.It has switched around a bit. You can't call what is out you're a

:51:54. > :52:01.drivers yesterday. It will be interesting to see what he does
:52:01. > :52:11.today. There should be a great atmosphere, Maureen. That was a
:52:11. > :52:16.
:52:16. > :52:21.beautiful shot. His line for the part will be just coming in
:52:21. > :52:31.slightly from the right hand side. He complained yesterday that he
:52:31. > :53:06.
:53:06. > :53:16.that he thought that was going to apart as you can get. Should be
:53:16. > :53:44.

:54:01. > :54:26.
:54:26. > :54:36.from Paul Lawrie. That is very, Stricker. In round of 71, 1-over

:00:53. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:36.from this position, you don't see today. His right shoulder was high,
:01:36. > :01:40.

:01:50. > :01:53.
:01:53. > :01:59.He was angry with him self, I don't know why. Sergio has left himself
:01:59. > :02:05.in the same position as the first hole. Ideally, this one will come

:04:07. > :04:11.

:09:53. > :09:57.John. We are delighted for you. The new man is staying for a couple of
:09:57. > :10:06.days presumably? John has not taken his staff, but I told him not to

:10:53. > :11:01.solid, as a result, I'm in a good position. It is good to put the US

:11:11. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:23.playing very well, but I'm excited. We wish you all the best.
:11:23. > :11:33.He is still very much in it. There are only seven players between him

:11:53. > :12:03.Scott. No. That would a been a bonus. This is one of the toughest

:19:40. > :19:46.Garcia left himself? He is 234 out. The flak is so far back and it is
:19:46. > :19:56.no picnic if you are too aggressive. He usually hits it one-club longer

:21:01. > :21:08.slightly down to the flag. A big bad life. Very sensible. It is

:50:23. > :50:33.such unusual weather here, no breeze. I think everybody is
:50:33. > :50:35.
:50:35. > :50:39.stunned. Brandt Snedeker is marching out in front. That ties
:50:39. > :50:47.the lowest opening 36 holes in challenge of history. I'm not sure

:51:45. > :51:51.way I have, you want to get the ball on the green as fast as

:52:32. > :52:40.of the record. Your past experiences have not been going so
:52:40. > :52:47.well. How differently is this course playing in comparison to
:52:47. > :52:54.previous years? It is relatively soft. There has not been much wind.
:52:54. > :53:03.I have a different mentality this time round. I'm not trying to play
:53:03. > :53:13.for the pin all the time. What are you like playing in wind? Hopefully
:53:13. > :53:14.
:53:14. > :53:24.pretty good. I enjoy it. I like to see a play tough. I'm up for
:53:24. > :53:26.
:53:26. > :53:35.whatever happens. -- see it play tough. You cracked a rib by
:53:35. > :53:45.coughing? People call me a glass man. I've had a few injuries, I
:53:45. > :53:49.
:53:49. > :53:59.seem to come back stronger. My body is feeling great, and my my form is

:54:22. > :54:26.-- you were playing with Prevert.. That was a fantastic experience. It
:54:26. > :54:32.showed me what it takes to win a major. I feel like I'm ready to
:54:33. > :54:39.have that kind of pressure on me, I embrace it. I want to show that I
:54:39. > :54:48.can handle it when I get in those situations. The rest of the day,
:54:48. > :54:56.you can sit back and watch? I would are a bunch of good guys on the

:55:06. > :55:25.
:55:25. > :55:29.difficulty with this one for Tiger is the pace. It goes up quite a
:55:29. > :55:33.slope and then down hill again so always difficult to judge that. A

:04:15. > :04:25.birdie. He has it on the second, and he moves to three under. That
:04:25. > :04:39.
:04:39. > :04:45.for much of the day. Brandt Snedeker, after that 64. The same
:04:45. > :04:52.score Nick Faldo shot at Muirfield. Adam Scott, the closest at the
:04:52. > :05:02.moment. Paul Lawrie slipping back as has Zach Johnson. Luke Donald on

:05:24. > :05:46.
:05:46. > :05:49.cut at the moment, and it's still early days, is two over-par. Three
:05:50. > :05:55.over where Lee Westwood is at the moment. There is no 10 shot rule in
:05:55. > :06:05.the Open. They had it once back in 1998, and about a million players
:06:05. > :06:21.
:06:21. > :06:25.off a shot today. There's quite a few areas around here which has
:06:25. > :06:30.galleries close by and there are dense galleries following this
:06:30. > :06:37.group. He has got a good lie in this first cut of rough. A four
:06:37. > :06:41.iron, he has. The pin is shorter today, so anything where he can get
:06:41. > :06:51.close has got to be a high-flying shot. It's got a place to be
:06:51. > :07:19.
:07:19. > :07:29.running one in from short. Too many This is to save for bogey. The
:07:29. > :07:45.
:07:45. > :07:52.measures 492 yards. Tiger has got 191 remaining. And he has reduced
:07:52. > :07:57.it to a two-iron and a seven-iron. It's just hard to imagine the ball
:07:57. > :08:05.going that far. But every good chance of getting this reasonably
:08:05. > :08:12.close. And he has, putting up the hill. That's a good opportunity for
:08:12. > :08:22.Tiger to get another one on Brandt Snedeker. A two-iron and a seven-
:08:22. > :08:47.
:08:47. > :08:52.iron. Mind you, that two-iron had Tracking well. Oh, Adam Scott! He
:08:52. > :09:02.rolls in a beauty at the 10th. Second birdie of the day and it now

:10:25. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :11:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:11:41. > :11:49.that strong grip. And he does it Garcia. Just the luck of the draw,

:12:43. > :12:47.a bit of a mess of this. I don't know. Sergio Garcia does not look

:12:57. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:17.would like to see him be a bit more indifferent hole on to number Ten.

:16:17. > :16:24.Lawrie to 5-under. Moving back up the boards again. It has been an
:16:24. > :16:34.interesting day's play. Only Brandt Snedeker has taken to the golf
:16:34. > :16:38.
:16:38. > :16:48.hands back so far and locks it in. He rocks the shoulders. It works

:17:31. > :17:53.
:17:53. > :17:57.Only five paces from the edge and big -- a few big scores on this. A
:17:57. > :18:07.bit of a tough pin. It does not look too much but you have to be
:18:07. > :18:08.
:18:08. > :18:18.careful. Rory got caught up and took two to get out. Tiger Woods

:18:32. > :18:54.
:18:54. > :18:58.driver out of the bag a little bit under six -- 600 yards. It made
:18:58. > :19:05.Stevie happy. You mentioned it Tiger not taking a
:19:05. > :19:10.driver out. They keep peppering these bunkers out. It takes the
:19:10. > :19:20.driver out of his bag. It makes the course more difficult but not more

:20:53. > :20:58.macro Roy it was up this morning, shot a 75 today with his 67
:20:58. > :21:02.yesterday. 2-over for the Championship and he is on the range
:21:02. > :21:08.with his coach, Michael has been with him since he was eight years
:21:08. > :21:12.of age. And only recently made the step to go full time and trouble
:21:12. > :21:19.with Rory. They have been working hard recently and we have been
:21:19. > :21:22.watching this from a camera on the range and he has been intricately
:21:22. > :21:28.looking at the moving parts of the swing. It has been interesting to
:21:28. > :21:36.see. I wonder what difference that will make to his game. Let's
:21:36. > :21:46.reflect on his day to day and then we can hear from him. From Northern
:21:46. > :21:47.
:21:47. > :21:57.Ireland, Rory McIlroy. A steady start. Another shot goes. Well done,
:21:57. > :22:02.
:22:02. > :22:08.Rory. Dropper shot hit, drop a shot there. And he goes to 2-over par.
:22:08. > :22:14.Not the Friday morning Rory has been after. A frustrating day for
:22:14. > :22:22.you, what is your take on your second round? Yes, it was not what
:22:22. > :22:27.I had hoped for. I did not drive the ball particularly well. If you
:22:27. > :22:34.don't, you struggle. I did not hit his many fairways as I would have
:22:34. > :22:38.liked. When you do that you will struggle. There are a few bunkers
:22:38. > :22:44.to find, but when they are full of water, how difficult does that make
:22:44. > :22:48.the shots? It makes it very difficult with wet sand. Usually
:22:48. > :22:53.the ball comes out pretty low but with some of these high faces it is
:22:53. > :23:00.hard to get the ball up straightaway to get it over the lip.
:23:00. > :23:03.Yes, it made it more difficult out there. I should not have been
:23:03. > :23:10.hitting them in there. Did your place surprise you because
:23:10. > :23:13.everything looked perfect yesterday? Yes, I hit the ball well
:23:13. > :23:18.for a lot of today but I missed a few tee-shots and did not commit to
:23:18. > :23:22.them and did not trust myself. There was the difference from
:23:22. > :23:30.yesterday. Tomorrow morning, you should be a great draw in third
:23:30. > :23:33.round. Yes, go out there tomorrow morning, try and get them back as
:23:33. > :23:39.many shots as I can and into the red figures and see what the guys
:23:39. > :23:47.do ahead of me. We wish you well for Saturday. Thank you. Thank you.
:23:47. > :23:57.He would definitely have to go 12 shots behind. Would he make of this,
:23:57. > :23:59.
:23:59. > :24:06.ken? At times when he goes back he drops a couple on the inside. Keep
:24:06. > :24:11.it in play which is what Michael is saying, straight back. This looks
:24:11. > :24:21.complicated but his coach is very much working on the basics of the
:24:21. > :24:46.
:24:46. > :24:56.shot was very ordinary. His foot seems to slip a little bit. Matt
:24:56. > :25:11.
:25:12. > :25:21.good year for the Americans with Bubba Watson, Simpson and the
:25:22. > :25:22.
:25:22. > :25:32.Players' Championship. They have had a good year.
:25:32. > :25:58.
:25:58. > :26:04.It bodes well for the Ryder Cup in grandstand where he may have got a
:26:04. > :26:12.drop in the drop zone, the white circle. He is on the trodden down
:26:12. > :26:22.area where the gallery has been. That was a difficult shot. Now, not
:26:22. > :26:27.
:26:27. > :26:37.it. 328 yard drive through the air, three-wood to hear. This is for an
:26:37. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:54.eagle. Two eagle chances he has had. of his putts. Some too hard, some
:26:54. > :26:56.
:26:56. > :27:01.too soft. You need a big long follow-through. Tiger Woods says he
:27:01. > :27:09.is playing this course in sections. He has a preferred area of the tee,
:27:09. > :27:13.no matter what the conditions, wind behind or against. It is like who
:27:13. > :27:21.been played in the Open at Carnoustie all those years ago. He
:27:21. > :27:25.has missed his area here. He is 147 to go but the grass is on the line
:27:25. > :27:32.with him. We have seen him in the situations before generating
:27:32. > :27:42.tremendous speed even through this slightly damp rough. Hard to
:27:42. > :27:57.
:27:57. > :28:07.control but should get it on the straightaway the ball came out hot.
:28:07. > :28:15.

:30:35. > :30:45.5-under. Adam Scott for birdie to loose iron shots but he has come
:30:45. > :31:19.
:31:19. > :31:25.and it's a downhill lie. All conditions lead to two low shot but
:31:25. > :31:33.he needs some height because it's coming off a downslope. And pretty
:31:33. > :31:43.well done. It was awkward. Lots of little ballets to come through. The
:31:43. > :31:57.
:31:57. > :32:07.round of his 14 Major wins. Zach Johnson got so lucky here on the
:32:07. > :32:09.
:32:09. > :32:17.a foot further back he would have had no chance. 153, trying to chase
:32:17. > :32:23.it in. How about that? He jumps over a bunker. It caught the second
:32:23. > :32:29.bunker there. But that was a reasonable break. So, ride your
:32:29. > :32:39.luck. There's enough bad luck in this game so ride your luck when
:32:39. > :32:43.
:32:43. > :32:53.cut is. Of course, he needs a couple of birdies if he wants to
:32:53. > :32:54.
:32:54. > :33:02.make it. This is from 124. Oh no, it is fading right. He will need
:33:02. > :33:12.better shots than that. It has eased back into two over but I
:33:12. > :33:35.
:33:35. > :33:38.wouldn't be going anywhere if I was wind blows, the most difficult
:33:38. > :33:48.shots for a short hole, because it comes across from left to right,
:33:48. > :34:08.
:34:08. > :34:16.doesn't it? It's a bit of a dome, who is striking it so well. Tiger

:34:44. > :34:49.about him which I have not seen for a long time. And hurried in his

:52:16. > :52:38.

:09:21. > :09:21.

:10:44. > :10:52.remember a time when I have seen so many fairways missed, or greens
:10:53. > :11:02.missed. We just got a glimpse of Alan Dunbar there, who is not too

:11:03. > :11:12.far away from the cut. His only hope there was it was going to hit
:11:12. > :11:22.against the flag. Things are not happening for Sergio Garcia. He is

:19:15. > :19:23.He has gone into the weekend under not like that. And the reason Ms...
:19:23. > :19:29.Really got you there! He did not flinch. It is short and in the
:19:29. > :19:39.rough. He is sticking to that strategy. I am going to take some
:19:39. > :20:00.
:20:00. > :20:08.talking to the Protea half an hour ago -- the professional here, and
:20:08. > :20:17.he was saying there were so many drop shots here at this hole. We

:20:23. > :20:27.It has been driven it many times, this 13th. That must be earned a's
:20:27. > :20:35.drive there. It looks quite close, but he is probably 80 yards or so
:20:35. > :20:45.from the flag. He is a very aggressive player. He is two-over-

:21:29. > :21:36.that whole. He had a poor lie in the bunker. A short corner. That is
:21:36. > :21:46.very severe. I don't know if that is absolutely fair. That is the way
:21:46. > :22:08.
:22:08. > :22:18.it is, golf is not supposed to be at the 11th hole. It does not look
:22:18. > :22:20.
:22:20. > :22:24.all that bad. Maybe people around him have got more ball than the

:22:45. > :22:54.not bad, he has pulled it into more trouble. He may not be able to
:22:54. > :23:00.reach the green from there. If you do go astray with an iron, you're a
:23:00. > :23:05.long way back. He is coming in from the wrong side. He has to come over
:23:05. > :23:11.the corners of the bunkers, from the edge of the rough. Apart from
:23:11. > :23:21.that, he's in good shape. You see how thick it is where the Marshall

:27:35. > :27:39.well. Adam really made a mistake playing beautiful golf this
:27:39. > :27:44.afternoon. He cannot really be any worse than the eight-under-par he

:28:10. > :28:14.David? It is almost balmy this Looking good. Tiger, his 4th shot.

:30:51. > :31:01.about, nothing else. Those on the left, they were not there. No, they

:32:25. > :32:33.show you some of the wonderful shots that he produced. He was red
:32:33. > :32:39.hot with the putter from the off. He has it ATP -- 86 % of Greens. He
:32:39. > :32:45.has been so accurate. They were going in from all over the shop. He
:32:45. > :32:53.has not been in a bunker in 36 holes, has not made a bogey in 36
:32:53. > :33:00.holes. It has been proper exhibition stuff. It was all a
:33:00. > :33:08.recipe for some sparkling golf today. He is aiming to become the
:33:08. > :33:14.third American in succession to conquer this course. That was a
:33:14. > :33:21.clutch putt to hole out for round of 64. He leads the Open by two

:45:56. > :46:01.know where he has been for the last 10 years. He is doing OK. Another
:46:01. > :46:07.one! He did quite modestly out on the nationwide Tour and finally

:47:17. > :47:27.you'd have thought it would have escaped by now. The water table is
:47:27. > :47:28.
:47:28. > :47:36.so high. Not liking that. Were, that was a strange one. 1988, we

:47:40. > :47:47.got to play with Jack Nicklaus for the first time ever because of that

:49:00. > :49:07.managed to recover his composure and remain six shots behind as he
:49:07. > :49:12.heads for home. He is about to play the 18th. Adam Scott is now in
:49:12. > :49:22.chase mode, and as we go further down, some of the big American
:49:22. > :49:23.
:49:23. > :49:29.names beginning to bunch up. Snedecker So said in his interview
:49:29. > :49:35.earlier that these were very wide the conditions in the US Tour. He

:50:06. > :50:16.not manage to get it past a forward tees, so he must be ready to buy

:50:30. > :50:35.bunkers and the last few holes at Le them. -- at Lytham. Tiger Woods
:50:35. > :50:39.is going to have to cross the corner of these bunkers. Then doing
:50:39. > :50:42.some renovations at my own golf club, we want an extra bunkers
:50:42. > :50:52.under a lot of people not happy with that. They would never get
:50:52. > :51:19.
:51:19. > :51:27.of the cut. A huge crowd still out here this afternoon. Play began
:51:27. > :51:34.almost 12 hours ago. At 6:30am. Is it cooling down a little bit,
:51:34. > :51:37.David? Not at all. It is still love lay out here. There is just a puff
:51:37. > :51:47.of breeze. It is fantastic golfing weather. The guys are taking
:51:47. > :52:11.
:52:11. > :52:19.shots here on the 17th. I know it is almost blind, but something is
:52:19. > :52:22.happening. 167 yards for Adam. It has been noticeable how
:52:23. > :52:30.conservative way he has been playing. He has been in control of
:52:30. > :52:34.her shots. Steve Williams is on the back. He worked for a certain
:52:34. > :52:44.gentleman over the years he played a Conservative at Major's and won a
:52:44. > :52:57.
:52:57. > :53:02.shot their from Adam Scott. He certainly looks comfortable. I have
:53:02. > :53:11.never seen conditions like this in all the Open Championships I have
:53:11. > :53:18.come to. He makes it a little easier and free-flowing out there.
:53:18. > :53:28.Here is Angle tiger Woods is coming into this 13th hole from. One of

:55:18. > :55:25.has done that well. A lot easier on the soft fairways. When this tries
:55:25. > :55:33.out, it its bouncy and the job becomes tougher. -- it to get a
:55:33. > :55:36.bouncy. Paul Lawrie missed out on the US Open. He decided not to go.
:55:36. > :55:46.He wanted to concentrate on making sure he could get into the Ryder
:55:46. > :56:10.
:56:10. > :56:20.There are too many variables we depart from that far away. When
:56:20. > :56:39.

:56:44. > :56:51.bottom of the screen. 15, heading straight up to the top of the
:56:51. > :57:01.screen. Over here is the big grandstand. One of the most

:02:38. > :02:48.golf from him this afternoon. This for his par at 14. Sweet, baby,
:02:48. > :02:52.
:02:52. > :03:02.sweet. With his experience, he knows just to keep plodding on,
:03:02. > :03:12.
:03:12. > :03:19.think we can expect to see this head off down the left-hand side of
:03:19. > :03:24.the fairway. The first one that he would meet his 300 yards out. There
:03:24. > :03:34.are a lot of them up the right, so if he leaks this, it could cause a
:03:34. > :03:44.
:03:44. > :03:54.quickly as that, it must be flushed down the middle of the fairway, and
:03:54. > :03:57.
:03:57. > :04:07.so it is. Birdie putt for Paul Lawrie to get to 5-under par. That
:04:07. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:37.was for a round of 70. 1-over par going to be Brandt Snedeker and
:04:37. > :04:39.
:04:39. > :04:49.Adam Scott tomorrow. Matt Kuchar at 3-under par. Terrific round earlier

:05:04. > :05:22.
:05:22. > :05:30.years of age. A little up and down. A couple of sixes on his card. He

:07:02. > :07:10.
:07:10. > :07:20.he played a nice round today. will have learned a lot. I hundred
:07:20. > :07:30.and 52 for Adam Scott. Now is not really the time to press. I
:07:30. > :07:33.
:07:33. > :07:39.expected to be short and left of the hole. Write down the throats.
:07:39. > :07:46.That must have looked absolutely glorious, with the club house in

:08:01. > :08:02.
:08:02. > :08:12.up playing the game? 132 yards for Matt Kuchar. It is a decent angle
:08:12. > :08:12.
:08:12. > :09:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:09:25. > :09:35.as well. Another fine shot from the in front of him. He must make sure
:09:35. > :09:47.
:09:47. > :09:57.to hit down on this. But was a good break for Graeme McDowell. -- that
:09:57. > :09:57.
:09:57. > :10:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:10:55. > :10:59.was. The second shot for Tiger Players' Championship eight years
:10:59. > :11:03.ago and we thought you lot -- he might have a couple of these Open

:11:13. > :11:19.
:11:19. > :11:29.week? He possesses everything, strength, temperaments,
:11:29. > :11:44.
:11:44. > :11:51.occasionally just his putter let opportunity here. This would be a
:11:51. > :12:01.fine way to finish. He is well in touch of the majority of the
:12:01. > :12:26.
:12:26. > :12:34.spot at 4-under par. That was a super back nine. He always looks as
:12:34. > :12:43.if he is laughing at an old joke he has heard, agreeing on his face. --
:12:43. > :12:49.a green on his face. It is like, I know something you don't know, and
:12:49. > :12:57.I am not going to tell you. Adam Scott after a wonderful second shot
:12:57. > :13:03.has about five feet lefts. I didn't think anyone would get close to

:13:27. > :13:37.9-under par. Maybe she will fulfil a dream this week. He is in a
:13:37. > :13:38.
:13:39. > :13:48.perfect spot for the weekend. He has played 45 Majors in a row, he
:13:49. > :13:52.
:13:52. > :13:58.has had a few sniffs, but not many. Alan Dunbar for par. He is not
:13:59. > :14:05.going to be around for the weekend, but he will have had a wonderful
:14:05. > :14:15.experience playing alongside Matt Kuchar and Adam Scott. At great
:14:15. > :14:34.
:14:34. > :14:44.long, long time. Adam Scott also looked the part, doesn't he? Thomas
:14:44. > :14:44.

:16:07. > :16:14.Watty. Paul Lawrie had an extremely
:16:14. > :16:18.eventful round. He knows better than most how it is to win the Open
:16:18. > :16:28.Championship from a long way back. Let's get his thoughts on that
:16:28. > :16:30.
:16:30. > :16:36.round. Well played again today. Are you pretty pleased with the 71?
:16:36. > :16:42.overall. Had you asked the that on the 10th tee, that wouldn't have
:16:42. > :16:48.been my answer, obviously. I missed the 10th their weight by about
:16:48. > :16:52.three yards and made double. Three- putted from eight feet. On 12 again
:16:52. > :17:02.I missed a 5-iron three are left to back green and you can't go along
:17:02. > :17:11.
:17:11. > :17:16.there. Overall, 1-over par is a Go to going to the weekend in the
:17:16. > :17:24.second a third-last group, that is great. It is fascinatingly poised
:17:24. > :17:30.now. Those two players ahead of you will probably be five or six shots
:17:30. > :17:40.ahead, how deeply it over the weekend? They have both played some
:17:40. > :17:40.
:17:41. > :17:44.fantastic golf. Fair play. 10 under par is great golf. Adam as well,
:17:44. > :17:50.eight under, after a great round yesterday, he has kept it going,
:17:50. > :17:53.which is hard to do. These guys deserve to be where they are. It is

:18:03. > :18:06.
:18:06. > :18:14.afternoon. That is a little surprising. He must be very happy
:18:14. > :18:24.with the way they are rolling it. At big gap between Adam Scott to
:18:24. > :19:04.

:02:19. > :02:24.
:02:24. > :02:32.to see what they face up. -- a great view. They're beautifully
:02:32. > :02:37.positioned, with the bunkers on the right, and the course. It is not as

:02:41. > :02:47.at you from about 10 o'clock, over from the left, it is a little bit
:02:47. > :02:53.more than that, 9 o'clock, forcing you out to the right. That is by
:02:53. > :03:00.you have got to land in between that set of bunkers. Heavy rough
:03:00. > :03:05.down the left, and Tiger, I assume, out with the nine iron. He has to

:05:06. > :05:09.
:05:09. > :05:14.but I think that has just about the moment, it is a precarious

:18:28. > :18:34.spectacular from Tiger Woods in pursuit of his 4th Open

:19:19. > :19:21.

:19:31. > :19:41.
:19:41. > :19:46.tap it in. It could not have been has. He was asked how many times
:19:46. > :19:53.does he waggle, and he said, no idea. And to life you're ready to
:19:53. > :20:03.pull the trigger. That is a good idea. That is as good or an answer
:20:03. > :20:06.as any. Only a handful of players down there and the driving range.
:20:06. > :20:12.The little red and white striped one on the left-hand side, that is
:20:12. > :20:21.that dreaded champagne tent. Many people tell lots of lovely stories
:20:21. > :20:31.in there. Here is Tom Watson. Come on. Just listen to this. CHEERING

:21:51. > :21:56.Japanese star. He has worked them forecast is for the weekend, but I
:21:56. > :22:01.certainly hope it has some wind involved. It is forecast for Sunday,
:22:01. > :22:11.up to 30 miles an hour at times. That will really give the course
:22:11. > :22:29.
:22:29. > :22:39.has been a little bit of modern some of the balls that we have seen.
:22:39. > :23:06.
:23:06. > :23:09.Some stray iron shot when there was Mr tiddler on the last. Same ball,
:23:09. > :23:19.same player. That is what is so wonderfully eccentric about this
:23:19. > :23:35.
:23:35. > :23:45.71st. We can only hope... It will be touch and go. It will get in. I
:23:45. > :23:47.
:23:47. > :23:57.could you miss that one on the last? It is just nerds. Wonderful,

:25:18. > :25:21.time Open champion. In his later years, he has done some amazing
:25:21. > :25:27.things in this Championship. Very nearly lifted the claret jug at
:25:27. > :25:34.Turnberry a couple of years back, 2009. A hole-in-one at Royal St

:25:39. > :25:45.There is a few hours' play left. There is a few guys still out on
:25:45. > :25:52.the course that may well have a say in who goes and who stays. A great
:25:52. > :26:02.effort from Tom. There was a blip at the 17th. What some signs his
:26:02. > :26:03.

:26:19. > :26:29.his quest to followed David Duval. He has played almost exhibition
:26:29. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:50.He is on fire. This to move to shot in front. He yes. He has his
:26:50. > :27:00.putting boots on. Brandt Snedecker is at rumbling along nicely.
:27:00. > :27:09.
:27:09. > :27:13.today. He has made it look easy I had the heartache of losing a big
:27:13. > :27:18.tournament. Something that that I covered very much. Seen Trevor
:27:18. > :27:22.doing it, I saw what it takes to win a major. I saw how patient you
:27:22. > :27:26.have to be and how much hard work you have to pretend. I feel like I
:27:26. > :27:30.am ready to have that kind of pressure on me. I embrace it. If
:27:30. > :27:34.you like I have shown I can handle it when I get in those situations.
:27:34. > :27:38.I feel like I can handle it and I am looking forward to those next
:27:38. > :27:48.two days. It significantly not a single bogey
:27:48. > :28:00.
:28:00. > :28:05.London's 206 bunkers. What were the First of all, it was keeping out
:28:05. > :28:11.the bonkers. You're almost certain to drop a stroke if you were in a
:28:11. > :28:21.bunker. His putting early on was dynamite. He has hauled his fair
:28:21. > :28:26.share of 20 or 30 fritters. He has equalled Nick Faldo's record over
:28:26. > :28:32.36 holes at the Open Championship. The conditions are slightly
:28:32. > :28:37.American at the moment. The Greens are soft, it is not fast. Those two
:28:37. > :28:42.grounds were very special. He has been in three Open Championships
:28:42. > :28:45.before and has never made the cut when the wind has blown. So many
:28:45. > :28:55.records have been equalled and broken. He is the third person in
:28:55. > :28:57.
:28:57. > :29:05.20 years to not make a bogey in any major. Tiger Woods and 2000, at St
:29:05. > :29:10.Andrews, Hale Irwin at the USPGA in 1993. How well-equipped is he to
:29:10. > :29:15.finish off this weekend? He's a different player from men. He was a
:29:15. > :29:20.young, up and coming player he was forcing his way onto the scene. He
:29:20. > :29:24.has won four times on the PGA Tour this year. He is a wonderful player.
:29:24. > :29:29.He is in the top 30 of the world rankings. That experience of the
:29:29. > :29:34.Masters will help him this weekend. A long, long way to go.
:29:34. > :29:42.Particularly if there is wind over the weekend. Yes, it looks like it
:29:42. > :29:47.might be 25 or 30 miles per hour on Sunday. He has done what very few,
:29:47. > :29:52.I don't think anyone has done this, to avoid these bunkers. These were
:29:52. > :29:56.real hazard today. 11 mm of rain fell last night. It was an
:29:57. > :30:02.impossible job to clear some of them. A number of them were full of
:30:02. > :30:07.water. If you get in a hazard like that. You have to drop the ball
:30:07. > :30:15.back in the bunker. You cannot dropper back out. You can either
:30:15. > :30:20.play it, or take a drop. You're not sure which ones have got water in
:30:20. > :30:25.them. You do not know until you get there. They were critical thing to
:30:26. > :30:31.avoid today. One or two players found some really awkward spot.
:30:32. > :30:38.Very easy to drop one or two short. Brandt Snedecker will be out
:30:38. > :30:46.tomorrow with the man has found himself an opposite, Adam Scott. He
:30:46. > :30:56.ventured out knowing he was in chase mode, and chase he did. A
:30:56. > :30:56.
:30:56. > :31:00.very good card after a bogey at the third. This was his reaction.
:31:01. > :31:07.Adam, very well played. You're making it look easy. How was the
:31:07. > :31:12.second round? It was a pretty good round by all accounts. It probably
:31:12. > :31:15.was not as glamourous as the first round. Certainly effective. A tough
:31:15. > :31:19.start, but I managed to hang in there and turn it around on the
:31:19. > :31:23.halls were you manage to pick up some shots. I had some good shots
:31:23. > :31:28.from six onwards. I played a conservative, smart round of golf
:31:28. > :31:31.and did not get myself into much trouble. You're a wonderful
:31:31. > :31:35.position again. You have been a regular member of the sport's elite
:31:35. > :31:41.without actually winning a major. Does this week feel as if it could
:31:42. > :31:46.be different? I have put myself in a position here at the Open that I
:31:46. > :31:50.have never been before. I am right in contention. There are 36 holes
:31:50. > :31:55.to play, that is a lot of golf, especially on a demanding course
:31:55. > :32:00.like this. Anything can happen. If I can play a couple of rounds as
:32:00. > :32:03.solidly as I have played these two, I think I have got a chance. Do you
:32:03. > :32:08.know Brandt Snedecker well? He will be spending a lot of time together.
:32:08. > :32:14.We are pretty good mates. We have played a fair bet in the States. I
:32:14. > :32:19.will enjoy that. He played spectacularly today. He must have
:32:19. > :32:23.hit it in some eyespots to get some putts to going. I'm looking forward
:32:23. > :32:28.to playing in the final group. you approach changed because you're
:32:28. > :32:34.in the final group? Playing alongside someone as is clear with
:32:34. > :32:37.you at the top of the leaderboard. A little bit, but I do not think it
:32:38. > :32:43.is a two-horse race. It is a quality leader board sitting right
:32:44. > :32:46.behind us, and if conditions are like they were today again tomorrow,
:32:46. > :32:50.I'm expecting some of the world- class players to pick good numbers
:32:50. > :33:00.up and I am going to have to keep playing well to keep in the next.
:33:00. > :33:00.
:33:00. > :33:06.It should be exciting. Hope it goes Let's have a look at some of the
:33:06. > :33:13.shot he played. He is pretty hot right now, with many of the clubs
:33:13. > :33:18.in his bag. This long putter he has been wielding, it seems to have
:33:18. > :33:21.made a massive difference. A huge difference. He has been in the
:33:21. > :33:30.doldrums for while and been very frustrated. He has come up with
:33:30. > :33:34.this long putter, he has been pretty deadly with it. Very few
:33:34. > :33:39.players managed to get on the front of that. He has made the most of
:33:39. > :33:46.the par fives. Adam Scott has been a player we have admired foot for a
:33:46. > :33:52.while the stock his iron play wasn't too shabby. He missed the
:33:52. > :33:59.green on the right, but also to get down to. Overall, he will be
:33:59. > :34:06.absolutely chuffed. He is in a great spot, but a long, long way to
:34:06. > :34:09.go. 45 majors in around he has been playing in, but you wonder how much
:34:09. > :34:13.better equipped he is a right now as a consequence of some of the
:34:13. > :34:18.experiences. The other thing is, Stephen Williams, he made reference
:34:18. > :34:21.to him yesterday and said that he really has got his mind sorted,
:34:21. > :34:27.particularly from the off, he is playing as if it is at the last
:34:27. > :34:35.hole. Williams has an amazing amount of experience can he has
:34:35. > :34:39.helped in the the strategy as well. I think he has got his tactic right.
:34:39. > :34:43.Pressing woody can and playing safely when he has to. He has got a
:34:43. > :34:48.lot of experience, Adam Scott, but such a difference getting amongst
:34:48. > :34:52.it and winning a Major, you have got across the line. They talked
:34:52. > :34:58.about clear blue water between the front two and the rest, Tiger Woods
:34:58. > :35:05.is just behind them, what kind of advantage that sat give you -- does
:35:05. > :35:08.that give you? There are two of them ahead of the field come up the
:35:08. > :35:14.chase is no they can easily make a mistake and drop back, so a lot of
:35:14. > :35:19.things can happen. It will be an interesting we can come. This golf
:35:19. > :35:25.course is so mean, a couple of errant shots and you get a double
:35:25. > :35:29.bogey. It is not over by a long way. Especially with a Tiger on your
:35:29. > :35:37.tail! Here he is at the end, having been slightly in the doldrums
:35:37. > :35:43.coming home, then in it pops, that is the old Tiger. He is four shot
:35:43. > :35:52.off the lead. He has never one from outside the top five at this point
:35:52. > :35:56.in the halfway stage in a Major. Let it is thought. -- lead to get
:35:56. > :36:06.his thoughts. Well played again, that was a
:36:06. > :36:06.
:36:06. > :36:11.fabulous finish. It wasn't as hard as it may have looked. I had a
:36:11. > :36:18.perfect lie, sitting upslope, I could take out that ridge, land on
:36:18. > :36:23.the flat and define on the pace. If that flat is not on the back, it is
:36:23. > :36:26.different, I can't get it close. However experienced you are, it
:36:26. > :36:35.must give you a real lift to do something like that into the
:36:36. > :36:42.weekend. He has come up we got what we should have got out of the hole.
:36:42. > :36:47.The wind had switched, I hit the right number, I should have been a
:36:47. > :36:53.three, I will take it. Six under par, idly two bogeys all week
:36:53. > :36:57.suggests that the game plan you devised is working perfectly.
:36:57. > :37:02.I thought a game plan that would fit this golf course, I am playing
:37:02. > :37:09.to my sections come my spots. And I'm executing it. I'm pleased with
:37:09. > :37:14.that. Obviously Adam Scott and Brandt Snedeker are playing some
:37:14. > :37:20.good golf of. We have got a long way to go, some weather could come
:37:20. > :37:24.up on Sunday. Because of that, at do you keep playing the same way in
:37:24. > :37:31.the third round? I figure I play it for how thick this golf course
:37:31. > :37:38.should be played. -- how I think. We have seen a couple of practice
:37:38. > :37:45.rounds this week, I have my game plan, which spot I want to go to,
:37:45. > :37:50.I'm good but then there. It is going to be fun watching.
:37:50. > :37:55.It is like a game of chess, he is playing to the spots, it is greater
:37:55. > :37:59.Mitte the strategy played last time he one and opened. But it is a
:38:00. > :38:06.fascinating way to play, particularly off the tee. He has
:38:06. > :38:12.hit a one driver, the rest were Bayern's. To break the bunkers out
:38:12. > :38:18.of play, he has done it extremely well. It has been interesting to
:38:18. > :38:24.watch his tactics, sometimes lying a long way back. He was probably
:38:24. > :38:30.going with a seven-iron, but he has got it just right. When Tiger is
:38:30. > :38:36.hitting the ball like that, he really is impressive. Two bogey so
:38:36. > :38:41.far but four birdies, we are going to look at how they were made. He
:38:41. > :38:46.has come in, having won three times already this season. He has
:38:46. > :38:50.disappointed himself in the most recent opens, but he seems to be
:38:50. > :38:56.winding up beautifully here. It is just glorious. Just about every
:38:56. > :39:04.iron shot has been hit left to right. He found the pace of the
:39:04. > :39:10.greens. Yesterday he said he wasn't hitting the putt hard enough. It
:39:10. > :39:15.was a great finish to his round. Just a little sting in the tail.
:39:15. > :39:22.there is one facet to his game, you never tire of seeing things like
:39:22. > :39:28.this. If there is one facet that is not as sharp as it was in his pomp,
:39:28. > :39:33.what is it for you? This week, he hasn't had to take his driver out,
:39:33. > :39:40.that will be the real tester. He has struggled with that at times.
:39:40. > :39:47.But if he doesn't need to, he won't. Terrific to watch, lovely to see
:39:47. > :39:53.him smiling and enjoying the challenge. He is a special man, he
:39:53. > :39:58.is the Pied Piper of golf. Everywhere he goes, it is kind et
:39:58. > :40:02.al. A lot of people write him off, but what would you say about his
:40:02. > :40:07.character and the way he has come back? A great champions have got a
:40:07. > :40:12.great character. He has this tremendous fighter from his dad.
:40:12. > :40:18.Whatever happens, you try your hardest. Nick Faldo was like that,
:40:18. > :40:27.at the best at it was Bernhard Langer. Every shot, the best you
:40:27. > :40:36.hit it, 100%. He is four shots off the lead, the leading UK contender
:40:36. > :40:46.Graeme McDowell is up there as well, as well as Paul Lawrie. Graeme
:40:46. > :40:48.
:40:48. > :40:53.67, 69 in the opening rounds, at that must have a nice ring about
:40:53. > :40:58.it? It feels pretty good. Two of the more benign days I have had at
:40:58. > :41:02.Royal Lytham and St Annes, it is a really tough set up here. It has
:41:02. > :41:09.been nice to get into the bread the first couple of days, nice to be in
:41:09. > :41:13.position by the weekend. Brandt Snedeker is the man to catch, but I
:41:13. > :41:18.would certainly have taken four under par and opposition i Emin,
:41:18. > :41:23.going into the weekend. A lot of hard work ahead of me, but where I
:41:23. > :41:26.want to be. You were telling us you are putting too much pressure on
:41:27. > :41:31.yourself to perform as everyone expects a Major champion to do so.
:41:31. > :41:36.You have been trying to take that pressure of committed has to be
:41:36. > :41:42.taking -- paying dividends. I have been a different guy, back to my
:41:42. > :41:45.old self, enjoying and getting the attitude correct. At the end of the
:41:45. > :41:53.day it doesn't matter how hard you work, you have to get the attitude
:41:53. > :41:56.right. Especially when the tests are this tough. You have got to
:41:56. > :42:03.accept you're good to make mistakes, not going to play perfect golf all
:42:03. > :42:08.day. Try and trust the fact you're playing well. A bit of ground to
:42:08. > :42:15.make up, do you enjoy the thrill of the chase? For sure, I am right
:42:15. > :42:21.where I want to be. Especially the open chap should, it is Bond close
:42:21. > :42:28.to my own heart. Brandt Snedeker has a bit of light between unsolved
:42:28. > :42:37.and the field, but there is a lot of golf left. We will see where I
:42:37. > :42:42.You just feel that perhaps his time is coming. He has really grafted
:42:42. > :42:45.his way, brought up on links courses, but has never been right
:42:45. > :42:50.indeed heart of the action to challenge for an Open championship
:42:50. > :42:57.before. How do you rate his chances? He has the ideal game for
:42:57. > :43:02.links golf of. But what I have enjoyed watching this week for
:43:02. > :43:08.McDowell is he has crafted, the scores haven't come easily, when he
:43:08. > :43:13.has been in trouble, he got his head down. He finished second in
:43:13. > :43:17.the US Open, he has got his game under control, but his approach is
:43:18. > :43:23.the key thing. Indeed, you have to think back to his a win at Pebble
:43:23. > :43:27.Beach, that was the attitude, hang on, stay tough. That is the kind of
:43:27. > :43:33.golf he is playing. He has got a quick with them, likes to play the
:43:33. > :43:41.ball in from the right. -- a quick rhythm. He hit a wonderful shot
:43:41. > :43:48.there. He has taken his opportunities well, as well. Just
:43:48. > :43:56.trying to chop it income are not so easy to hit it from left to right.
:43:56. > :44:00.Some wonderful play. So Paul Lawrie is a well placed as well, but we
:44:00. > :44:04.are just looking at Tom Watson, finishing his round earlier on.
:44:04. > :44:09.Still not sure whether he is going to be here for the weekend. This
:44:09. > :44:15.was his finish at the 18th after slipping up with that tiddler at
:44:15. > :44:19.the 17th. That thrilled these huge galleries here at Royal Lytham and
:44:19. > :44:29.St Annes on what has been a wonderful day's golf. Let's hear
:44:29. > :44:36.
:44:36. > :44:43.Very well played once again. Apart from 17! Let's forget about that,
:44:43. > :44:48.shall we? But 18 was special. a good drive, I pulled my a tie and
:44:48. > :44:52.a little bit, I need -- I knew I wouldn't have much chance of making
:44:52. > :44:59.the cut, the putt didn't do what I thought it was going to do. I
:44:59. > :45:04.pushed it, and it was about 18 Jews right, and it broke in. I was
:45:04. > :45:09.trying to pull it up. I pushed it about eight inches, and be sure
:45:09. > :45:14.enough, it goes in, as luck would have it. Maybe I'm getting a little
:45:14. > :45:18.bit of that back from 2009. think it was the power of positive
:45:18. > :45:27.thinking from all those watching! That has been an amazing couple of
:45:27. > :45:32.days. Can you remember a day like that? In 96, it was like that. I
:45:32. > :45:42.think 20 under, if I am not mistaken. Something like that. A
:45:42. > :45:43.
:45:43. > :45:47.real, real low score. Maybe 16 under, Tom Lehman one. But when it
:45:47. > :45:57.blows, it really is at very difficult golf course. With the
:45:57. > :46:12.
:46:12. > :46:17.water in them right now, these bit a plane left. The situation is
:46:17. > :46:27.in flux. Lee Westwood is in there as well. And no the waiter for all
:46:27. > :46:31.
:46:31. > :46:36.I think the Open people would rather two over made it, but
:46:36. > :46:46.amazing, Tom Watson, it was 37 years ago he won his first Open. He
:46:46. > :46:48.
:46:48. > :46:51.is still going strong. It brings a It just shows you how democratic
:46:51. > :46:55.this game is that people can play it of all ages and enjoy it right
:46:55. > :47:05.through the years. Rory McIlroy has made the cut. It was a mixed bag
:47:05. > :47:15.for him today. On the tee, from Northern Ireland, Rory McIlroy.
:47:15. > :47:23.
:47:23. > :47:33.After a steady start. Another shot begin to slip away. He goes to two-
:47:33. > :47:35.
:47:35. > :47:42.over-par. Not the Friday morning A very frustrating day, Rory. What
:47:42. > :47:50.was your take on it? It was not what I had hoped for. I do not
:47:50. > :47:56.drive the ball particularly well. If you can drive it well, -- if you
:47:56. > :48:02.cannot drive it well, you will struggle. Her there are few bunkers
:48:02. > :48:11.to find, 206, was when they are full of water, how difficult does
:48:11. > :48:16.it make was shot? Very difficult, with wet sand. Usually, with wet
:48:16. > :48:23.sand, the ball comes out law, it is very hard to get the ball up
:48:23. > :48:27.straight away. It may be more difficult. I should not have been
:48:27. > :48:34.hitting the ball in the bunkers. did the way you played to surprise
:48:34. > :48:39.you? It looked perfect yesterday. hit the ball well for a lot of
:48:39. > :48:44.today. I missed a duty shot. I did not commit to them. I did not trust
:48:44. > :48:47.myself. That was the real difference from today and yesterday.
:48:47. > :48:56.Tomorrow should be a great draw. You will have to go for it in the
:48:56. > :49:00.third round. Yes. I will try to get back as many shots as I can. There
:49:00. > :49:05.will try to get into red figures and then see what the guys do ahead
:49:05. > :49:09.of me. A 75 for Rory McIlroy today. He was
:49:09. > :49:15.straight down did practice range with his coach Michael, who has
:49:15. > :49:25.been with them since eight. He has just gone full-time with Rory now.
:49:25. > :49:26.
:49:26. > :49:31.What were they doing? He tries to keep it on our similar plane. It is
:49:31. > :49:36.easy to get a draw but harder to hit a fade. He is saying, keep it
:49:36. > :49:42.straight back and straight through. He was out on the range for a long
:49:42. > :49:47.time. A golfer creeps into the same mistakes time and again. If you
:49:47. > :49:52.have got an error in your swing, it always creeps back in. You have got
:49:52. > :49:57.to keep on top of it. The killer ball for him was number nine. A
:49:57. > :50:04.double bogey took the wind out of his sales. An average day for Rory
:50:04. > :50:09.McIlroy but a good day for Luke Donald. At 7 o'clock this morning,
:50:09. > :50:17.his caddy took flight to a maternity hospital in the south of
:50:17. > :50:24.England. His stand-in Khadija oversaw a pretty decent day from
:50:24. > :50:29.his temporary boss. His score was being made on the out words nine. A
:50:29. > :50:33.couple of hiccups on the way home. It has put Luke Donald and the next
:50:33. > :50:41.for the weekend. These are his thoughts.
:50:41. > :50:44.I do feel better. At the US Open, I felt uncomfortable about my swing.
:50:44. > :50:49.It is hard to be positive when you do not feel comfortable about
:50:49. > :50:56.you're swing. I felt more comfortable coming into this week.
:50:56. > :51:02.I have had a lot more solid shot. Iron and a good position as a
:51:02. > :51:06.result. It is nice to pick the US Open behind me and move on. I am
:51:06. > :51:11.somewhat in contention, although Brandt Snedecker is playing very
:51:11. > :51:14.nicely. I am excited to be there thereabouts.
:51:14. > :51:20.He said in the studio that he had struggled with the pace of the
:51:20. > :51:26.greens. Much better today and that showed any outward half. Yes, he
:51:26. > :51:30.started to hole some putts. There were very few players holing putts.
:51:30. > :51:40.No player was holing more than Luke Donald. Particularly on the early
:51:40. > :51:44.
:51:44. > :51:48.greens, but so many left putts short. This was a lovely one. These
:51:48. > :51:54.are little bonuses. If you can get one or two of these, it gives you a
:51:54. > :52:00.lot of confidence. Another one at number six, up the slope. It went
:52:00. > :52:05.into the centre of the cup at the right pace. It was a classic round
:52:05. > :52:09.for Luke Donald today. It was a fairly simple 68. The key to it
:52:10. > :52:13.with these parts. Brandt Snedecker called a few on the outward nine.
:52:14. > :52:23.They were the only to that hold a reasonable number. A terrific round
:52:24. > :52:27.
:52:27. > :52:31.I heard Graham McDowell saying, can you press, he said, if you chase at
:52:31. > :52:37.Lytham, you're going to find yourself in trouble. Do a Tiger
:52:37. > :52:42.Woods, play conservatively. We're still not sure whether John McLaren
:52:42. > :52:46.is coming back or not. He is a real enthusiast, you never know whether
:52:46. > :52:50.he will be back even with a baby daughter on the scene.
:52:50. > :52:57.Today was officially the end of Darren Clarke's defence of the Open
:52:57. > :53:01.Championship. He finished at seven over par, not enough to be with us.
:53:01. > :53:11.They have taken away his Claret Jug but they will never erase his name
:53:11. > :53:13.
:53:13. > :53:17.from it. Very well loved by these crowds. Let's hear from him.
:53:17. > :53:21.We don't meet in quite such happy circumstances as last year, but he
:53:21. > :53:27.must be a bit happier with that round today. I played nicely today.
:53:27. > :53:35.I did not make anything today. I am disappointed to come here and try
:53:35. > :53:39.to defend and play this boy I did. -- play the way I did. Did you
:53:39. > :53:45.enjoy the reception? Always. The crowd were wonderful last year,
:53:45. > :53:49.they have been wonderful year. It is a pity I didn't give them
:53:49. > :53:53.something more to shout about. golf over the last 12 months has
:53:53. > :53:57.not been up to your standard, but how do you reflect a New year's
:53:57. > :54:03.Open champion? It has been wonderful. That has been an honour
:54:03. > :54:09.and a privilege. I have tried to represent the are India around the
:54:09. > :54:13.world to the best of my ability. -- the Royal and Ancient. It is a huge
:54:13. > :54:17.honour to have my name on the Claret Jug and some of those
:54:17. > :54:22.memories I will cherish forever. Darren amongst those who will be
:54:22. > :54:27.heading home. So will these players. Justin Rose, he will not be here.
:54:27. > :54:33.He did it a good quarter day. Sergio Garcia did not look happy at
:54:33. > :54:37.all today. David Duval, he said he felt that he was almost defending
:54:37. > :54:43.champion, living years after his victory here, and it was good to
:54:43. > :54:53.hear David top this week. Sandy Lyle, his 6th appearance here since
:54:53. > :54:58.
:54:58. > :55:04.will not be awarded this year as Allen Dunbar did not make the cut.
:55:04. > :55:08.Not a great week for Phil Mickelson. He will bounce back, I'm sure. The
:55:09. > :55:17.field will be chopped in half by the end of the day. We have seen
:55:17. > :55:21.the best two-round total ever recorded year at Royal Lytham.
:55:21. > :55:25.Welcome today to, at this place. It was meant to be ready for young
:55:25. > :55:33.Rory McIlroy to assert his authority, but the golf course
:55:33. > :55:41.Latimer. He was never in his stride. To wobbly, to way words. It does
:55:41. > :55:45.not take very long to run a score. At ease, officer. Yesterday, we
:55:45. > :55:53.managed to successfully concealed at least five people in the rough.
:55:53. > :55:58.Where are you all? Just ask Nicholas. His five shots are all
:55:58. > :56:04.gone. Yesterday's headlines, today's fish and chip wrapper.
:56:04. > :56:10.ad went in at some pace, didn't it? What about England's top boy?
:56:10. > :56:17.get this! There were four birdies in five holes for the world No. 1.
:56:17. > :56:22.Is it going to happen? The crowd are getting excited! Keep an eye on
:56:22. > :56:28.him this weekend. As is the best we have seen today. Bunkers, bunkers
:56:28. > :56:35.every where. Too many golfers in them. These bunkers are very
:56:36. > :56:45.punishing. Too many traps tripped up lethal leftie. Very much a case
:56:46. > :56:48.
:56:48. > :56:58.of, bye-bye, Big Bill. Look at the little fellow. Time for rest, Our
:56:58. > :57:04.
:57:04. > :57:13.Leader. Catch the 1000. Look, a Royal at Royal them. He is not the
:57:13. > :57:20.only American in the running. There are three more in the hunt. Ian
:57:20. > :57:26.Poulter is off the pace. It looks like another week of West words --
:57:26. > :57:36.of Westwood, no. Keep their eyes and the Irishman, the Scotsman and
:57:36. > :57:38.
:57:38. > :57:48.the Welshman. What about Scott of the long putter? He has been
:57:48. > :57:49.
:57:49. > :57:57.ripping up the joint. The Tennessee titans is still swinging free.
:57:57. > :58:07.you look at that? Impressive leader board, big names, all there. We're
:58:07. > :58:14.
:58:14. > :58:20.We will be with Tony Jacklin and Nick Faldo tomorrow. Almost time
:58:20. > :58:24.for us to go. Over on BBC 1, the Great Britain men's football team
:58:24. > :58:32.are playing their last warm-up game before the Olympics against Brazil.
:58:32. > :58:36.It is live. It is 0-0. Please don't go just yet!
:58:36. > :58:42.For all the scare stories of unplayable rough, it has been all
:58:42. > :58:47.right so far, hasn't it? It has not been too bad. If you find a fairway,
:58:47. > :58:52.you can make some scores. As the wind going to blow? Royal Lytham
:58:52. > :59:00.will show its teeth if it does. it is forecast to do so on Sunday.
:59:00. > :59:06.It has been a fascinating couple of days. There are 206 bunkers on this
:59:06. > :59:11.course. 56 more than any other Open venue. You have got to do something
