Day 3 Part 2

:00:33. > :00:43.Welcome back to the third day of the Open Championship, a glorious

:00:43. > :00:59.

:00:59. > :01:05.from the offer. Starting 10 shots behind the leaders and will have to

:01:05. > :01:15.produce something special. I think he has already started in that vein.

:01:15. > :01:15.

:01:15. > :01:19.Let's see what Ian Poulter can do to catch Brandt Snedeker.

:01:19. > :01:23.Snedeker's score is 10-under and he will be teeing off at 2:20pm. But

:01:23. > :01:33.not out of it, never one to give up the fight, this Englishman, Ian

:01:33. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:53.between these two. Ian Poulter relishes the fight, and from this

:01:53. > :02:03.point of view this will be a matchplay situation. It should be

:02:03. > :02:22.

:02:22. > :02:32.look at the size of that did it. -- festival, but he is to feed from a

:02:32. > :02:44.

:02:44. > :02:49.whole. A couple of old dinosaurs straight into London. -- you were

:02:49. > :02:59.heading straight into London. Probably 45 War 55 miles north of

:02:59. > :03:00.

:03:00. > :03:05.London. -- 45 or 55. All sorts of simple things they talk about. You

:03:05. > :03:15.see snooker players chatting, that is the only game really cinema --

:03:15. > :03:53.

:03:53. > :03:57.chatty about the weather. Is there some of wind? Nice and warm,

:03:57. > :04:02.everyone in shirtsleeves, but is there some of the movement?

:04:02. > :04:05.little breeze, but no more than that. It is always a case of making

:04:05. > :04:15.the score on the outward nine, but McIlroy and Harrington have not

:04:15. > :04:40.

:04:40. > :04:50.managed to do that. Rory McIlroy is opened up on Monday. He has made a

:04:50. > :04:58.

:04:58. > :05:08.few this, but opportunities are looks rather pretty, doesn't it?

:05:08. > :05:18.You're not a sailor, you're a flyer. You see them around Istanbul. It

:05:18. > :05:18.

:05:18. > :06:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:06:43. > :06:47.was Constantinople in my day! How did you enjoy your morning in

:06:47. > :06:52.the company of Tom Watson? always nice to play with Tom, we

:06:52. > :06:56.play together a lot. We played together in 1991 and I enjoyed it

:06:56. > :07:00.as much today as I did then. It never gets old, playing with Tom.

:07:00. > :07:06.Always a joy to play with him. A great gentleman and a great

:07:06. > :07:12.ambassador for the small -- for the sport. A great competitor, and I

:07:12. > :07:16.started asking how old he was and he said he was 62. Some of those

:07:16. > :07:26.par-four and par-five holes when they play into the wind, they play

:07:26. > :07:36.along. How much of it challenges the course? They seem to have cut

:07:36. > :07:36.

:07:36. > :07:42.the pains -- the pins are fairly short, but the golf courses very

:07:42. > :07:50.playable. You can make a good score if you play well and get it round

:07:50. > :07:54.in 6465. That is still on. I'm just not playing well enough. Not really

:07:54. > :07:58.any aspect of the game were sharp enough. Tom was saying the greens

:07:58. > :08:03.were faster today. That was surprising. It was noticeable on

:08:03. > :08:06.the putting green that it was quicker and when I got on the

:08:06. > :08:16.greens they were obviously even faster, so that took some getting

:08:16. > :08:16.

:08:16. > :08:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:08:59. > :09:09.used to. Enjoy afternoon and go for Ian Poulter. Down the left,

:09:09. > :09:09.

:09:09. > :09:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:09:50. > :09:56.drive. 481, this second hole. people are saying they are faster.

:09:56. > :10:05.I'm hardly surprised, they cut them twice and then rolled them. If you

:10:05. > :10:15.cut them tight and then roll them, despite the moisture or, they will

:10:15. > :10:15.

:10:15. > :11:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:11:07. > :11:11.be a bit quicker than they were on something with his voice and

:11:11. > :11:21.computer generated. That would be a very good idea, or perhaps all

:11:21. > :11:28.

:11:28. > :11:38.last two or three months. Not consistently well. But that is a

:11:38. > :11:55.

:11:55. > :12:02.favourite colour, the burnt orange. morning, each morning, pretty early.

:12:02. > :12:05.It will be nice to see them all coming along, or old and young.

:12:05. > :12:11.People under 16, accompanied by an adult, they come in for nothing.

:12:11. > :12:18.Tickets available at the gate so there is no particular capacity.

:12:18. > :12:21.That has always been the policy. You would not think as you drive

:12:21. > :12:27.down the road at the bottom of your screens that for 500 yards away is

:12:27. > :12:37.one of the great golf courses but when the course was put there, the

:12:37. > :12:45.

:12:45. > :12:51.houses weren't. So probably the sea here? A three-wood off the tee, so

:12:51. > :12:59.he must be looking at eight for eye and at least. It surprises me when

:12:59. > :13:09.people say 190 yards, he is going to hit a seven-iron. Mind you, the

:13:09. > :13:42.

:13:42. > :13:48.little tinker. Have thought to the right and he would be in trouble,

:13:48. > :13:51.but that's a good result -- a foot to the right. Having to move it in

:13:51. > :14:01.right-to-left, that is not his favourite. But this guy doesn't

:14:01. > :14:30.

:14:30. > :14:35.head of the club. Right at the to come today for Bubba Watson. I

:14:35. > :14:45.think he's the new cult hero. and his wife adopted a baby three

:14:45. > :14:55.

:14:55. > :15:01.years old. The remarkable career after he hit 40. He had won a few

:15:01. > :15:05.things, but he won umpteen tournaments between 40 and 46. A

:15:05. > :15:15.remarkable run of form. Probably the hardest worker in the game of

:15:15. > :15:15.

:15:15. > :16:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:16:29. > :16:39.game he has had, you have to be a solid putter. -- to have the

:16:39. > :16:56.

:16:57. > :17:01.confused at the moment. He is not quite sure why his form is not

:17:01. > :17:09.where he thinks it should be, or waving -- where we think it should

:17:09. > :17:13.be. I can quite understand it. He is a very young man. He has put up

:17:13. > :17:23.with a lot of pressure and there comes a moment when it becomes a

:17:23. > :17:33.

:17:33. > :17:37.well indeed in the Irish Open Championship this year. A huge

:17:37. > :17:42.success. The weather there was not too good either as far as the rain

:17:42. > :17:47.was concerned. And the poor old members will have to set about

:17:47. > :17:57.repairing the course after we have all gone. Apparently they have been

:17:57. > :18:24.

:18:24. > :18:34.nurturing the rough for a couple of up and tap it in as quickly as that.

:18:34. > :19:01.

:19:01. > :19:11.You wouldn't have thought that if in the sky. The Blue has turned to

:19:11. > :19:31.

:19:31. > :19:39.a very light shade of grey. There A bit of blue sky down there. And

:19:39. > :19:45.it is time for Wayne and I to step aside, and Nick Faldo and Ken are

:19:45. > :19:50.coming in. Nick, with all the talk about your record, you played when

:19:50. > :19:57.it was a par 72, and this is a 70. And you have the bragging rights,

:19:57. > :20:07.you have played a course two shots harder! Now take that look of your

:20:07. > :20:36.

:20:36. > :20:43.face. I appreciated. I remember we do not want another Rory McIlroy,

:20:43. > :20:53.pitching it on top of some poor boy's head. Looks to be far enough

:20:53. > :21:03.right. Far enough that it has been trampled down by spectators.

:21:03. > :21:03.

:21:03. > :22:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:22:07. > :22:12.final hole. He does fidget a lot, to shake his shots. Just going

:22:12. > :22:20.through rough bit of this season, but then some point in the week he

:22:20. > :22:28.has a double or triple and it slows things up. Juniors under 16 still

:22:28. > :22:32.coming free. Big crowds yesterday. Usually it is a competition to see

:22:32. > :22:42.who can collect the most signatures on the cap. He is not doing that

:22:42. > :22:48.

:22:48. > :22:58.to was 1977, that wasn't too bad. Mine was at Troon, 1973. My dad had

:22:58. > :23:11.

:23:11. > :23:21.a Volkswagen Beetle, and we had in the US Open recently, coming

:23:21. > :23:59.

:23:59. > :24:02.bunker, so he wasn't expecting that. Again, we short -- saw it shoot

:24:02. > :24:05.forward. People had not been getting that run because it was

:24:05. > :24:15.drying out, and it makes a difference. The fairways become

:24:15. > :24:30.

:24:30. > :24:40.just three seconds. Moving up the field, birdies on 7, 8, 9 and 10.

:24:40. > :25:06.

:25:06. > :25:13.He taps that in. 68, back to 1-over overdid the that. Yes, very

:25:13. > :25:23.surprised at that. He had a nice little breeze, middle of the green,

:25:23. > :25:31.

:25:31. > :25:41.nicely until he came to the 15th and had a triple bogey. But still a

:25:41. > :25:41.

:25:41. > :27:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:27:21. > :27:31.2 and number three or on the right like Hunter Mahan will be thinking

:27:31. > :27:31.

:27:31. > :28:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:28:35. > :28:41.back that he dropped on the second right hand side of the green has a

:28:41. > :28:51.false edge to it. For a left-hander, as light left to right breeze

:28:51. > :29:22.

:29:22. > :29:28.he? An extra 20 yards to run. This is the severity of a true pot

:29:28. > :29:32.bunker, you just wedge it back out. He can tell by the golfer's face it

:29:32. > :29:40.is demoralising, get it back into play and try and get this one

:29:40. > :29:49.inside ten feet and scramble par. Get the headphones back on for some

:29:49. > :29:59.soothing music. Did he have any scissors? Not on awful lot. -- not

:29:59. > :29:59.

:29:59. > :30:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:30:48. > :30:55.an awful lot. We're going to break across the corner of the bunkers.

:30:55. > :31:00.This awkward hole location, I had a look at this this morning. It is

:31:00. > :31:07.just ducked in a tiny little valley, downslope off the back of that

:31:07. > :31:17.right-hand bunker. -- just tucked. Rory McIlroy has a better angle at

:31:17. > :31:33.

:31:33. > :31:43.in my day on the links. A rarity, really, not really links golf, is

:31:43. > :31:43.

:31:43. > :32:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:32:26. > :32:33.Masters -- Bubba took some time off it. He seems to be playing well,

:32:33. > :32:40.seems to be fairly content of the course. Does he own the original

:32:40. > :32:47.general be? Apparently there are around 300 of them. I believe he

:32:47. > :32:52.owns the one from the opening segment, the one that flies over

:32:52. > :32:57.the farm and across the river. I believe he got the one that was

:32:57. > :33:04.being born, so that is pretty cool. He has that going for him. If you

:33:04. > :33:14.don't know what we're talking about, it is Dukes of Hazzard. That is a

:33:14. > :33:20.

:33:20. > :33:30.marrow offering his advice. It is a bit low, you are going to hit the

:33:30. > :33:42.

:33:42. > :33:52.does, good clubbing, good caddy. A bad back nine for Ross Fisher,

:33:52. > :34:07.

:34:07. > :34:15.though, 7-over for the Championship, are considered slow. There is a

:34:15. > :34:25.heat wave in America, Washington DC, heat in excess of 115. The heat

:34:25. > :34:32.index for the whole week was over have been all week. They have been

:34:32. > :34:40.getting a little quicker each day. 11.5, which for links greens is

:34:40. > :34:50.reasonably quick. Car would have thought with them being so green,

:34:50. > :34:56.

:34:56. > :35:02.we would have to get 40 mph gusts parts of the game and the mind are

:35:02. > :35:12.in confusion at the moment. All the more strange to see after that

:35:12. > :35:12.

:35:12. > :36:11.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:36:11. > :36:21.place under rock those shoulders. gully, and once again. Rory McIlroy

:36:21. > :36:51.

:36:51. > :36:55.looks at him and says, or what was I do that? These guys are trying to

:36:55. > :37:00.force everything out of the golf course, a couple over-par, it is

:37:00. > :37:05.just give it everything, take all the chances are you can. It is a

:37:05. > :37:15.last ditch effort to get back into contention. The marvellous swing of

:37:15. > :37:19.

:37:19. > :37:24.Bubba Watson. Marvellous swing? I certainly. It is different, isn't

:37:24. > :37:29.it? At all moving parts. The Food Action is quite incredible, he is

:37:29. > :37:39.either on his toes on his feet were flying everywhere. -- the foot

:37:39. > :37:56.

:37:56. > :38:01.left, par 4. They are putting enough bunkers and where the guys

:38:01. > :38:08.don't want to go with the driver. They have added a new one down the

:38:08. > :38:16.left-hand side. It has their days thinking all about position. Plus,

:38:16. > :38:21.the hole location is front left. Let's have a look from ground level.

:38:21. > :38:27.That looks like Ian Poulter's shot exactly, threading it between the

:38:27. > :38:32.bunkers for safety. Then when you turn the corner it gives you a good

:38:32. > :38:42.angle to the hole location. But there is a little downslope of that

:38:42. > :39:00.

:39:00. > :39:05.first bunker. That shouldn't come traditionally the hardest would be

:39:05. > :39:11.holes like three, 15 and 17 on this course, but a three today just has

:39:11. > :39:15.a little bit of a breeze behind it. Yes, heading out it is quite nice.

:39:15. > :39:21.You have the first three down the railway line, then you have a

:39:21. > :39:31.couple of doglegs, the right to left four and six, then straight

:39:31. > :39:31.

:39:31. > :40:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:40:15. > :40:22.the houses. The trees outside are are you trying to work out at the

:40:22. > :40:32.speed of play? Yes, I think I am. It was 4.5 hours for the three

:40:32. > :40:37.

:40:37. > :40:47.balls. The Aber around 3.5 for a two ball. He s, not too far away.

:40:47. > :40:54.

:40:54. > :40:59.Mark Calcavecchia is on the Mark, great to see you here, you're

:40:59. > :41:04.obviously enjoying it. Yes, I love this time, and I am happy to be

:41:04. > :41:08.playing golf on the open. We are coming to the business end of the

:41:08. > :41:12.competition and the weather looks set fair, doesn't it? It is better

:41:12. > :41:16.than the first two days, even though it was cloudier and cooler,

:41:16. > :41:20.Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty bad. It could have been a really

:41:20. > :41:26.ugly week. It has turned out of gorgeous and I am looking forward

:41:26. > :41:32.to it. A good omen for the final two rents? And I hope so, I seem to

:41:32. > :41:36.be putting pretty good, so if I keep that up, if I make par, that

:41:36. > :41:42.is great, that is a good score in this place. He lost will in the

:41:42. > :41:52.next and a lot can happen over the last few days, camped it? Yes, I

:41:52. > :41:59.hope so. You can live up the leaderboard quick. But I have been

:41:59. > :42:02.in a few of the ruffs and they're not good. We be sure the best of

:42:02. > :42:11.luck and hope you have a great for luck and hope you have a great for

:42:11. > :42:19.a third round. Mark Calcavecchia tees off with Andres Romero. He

:42:19. > :42:29.opened 67, 69 when he started. He can still do it. He is consistently

:42:29. > :42:41.

:42:41. > :42:51.placing on the Champions Tour in Left-to-right wind. He is going

:42:51. > :42:51.

:42:51. > :42:57.with a court this time. -- cut. you think he decides at the top of

:42:57. > :43:04.his backswing? Nor, it is all preconceived before that. I bet

:43:04. > :43:12.rose claw marks hurt. Someone should help that man. I have heard

:43:12. > :43:22.of putting a Tiger in your tank, but... Why would you bring that to

:43:22. > :43:56.

:43:56. > :44:01.the open to it? Just so that we is lovely. Peter full, and easy

:44:01. > :44:05.shot, really, for these guys. This 12th hole is one of the most

:44:05. > :44:12.difficult in the world, because you're sheltered back on the tee.

:44:12. > :44:20.Usually a very hard right to left and then you start looking at the

:44:20. > :44:30.edge of bounds offence. -- fence. Not that difficult to do that with

:44:30. > :44:43.

:44:43. > :44:53.would rather be in the bunker, look the ball so he could get some

:44:53. > :45:21.

:45:21. > :45:31.control literate. Nicely done. -- don't know if I could have done

:45:31. > :45:45.

:45:45. > :45:55.that in my day, looked down and see from Australia, Geoff Ogilvy. -- on

:46:07. > :46:27.

:46:27. > :46:37.the US Open in 2006. He so far has there, and you have Paul Blackett

:46:37. > :46:38.

:46:38. > :46:48.around the corner. -- you have to wash kit around the corner. -- work

:46:48. > :47:07.

:47:07. > :47:12.added. -- not a difficult shot. going to thump it in the back, you

:47:12. > :47:22.know you're going to do that, so be prepared to for the recoil before

:47:22. > :47:26.

:47:26. > :47:36.hands a little lower between his knees, Cup his wrists and get

:47:36. > :47:43.

:47:43. > :47:47.who has not been in the sand once yet. That was the strategy for St

:47:47. > :47:57.Andrew's. I managed to get away with one, I know Tiger Woods did

:47:57. > :48:05.

:48:05. > :48:08.not hit any bunkers when he won in Trying to get it right on the golf

:48:08. > :48:18.course, being questioned for everything off the golf course.

:48:18. > :48:28.

:48:28. > :48:38.Certainly filling at all. -- do that, but they gather pace and

:48:38. > :48:45.

:48:45. > :48:52.that around the holes. -- clip It went down by one dimple, and

:48:52. > :48:58.that was it. Pratt is quite tough to do. -- that is quite a tough to

:48:58. > :49:08.do. Normally when the Greens get firm and hard they have a hard edge

:49:21. > :49:25.lies in store for Simon Dyson Sites in, you're looking confident,

:49:25. > :49:29.it is a lovely day and you are really in the next. The S, a

:49:29. > :49:33.beautiful day, I am not feeling my best, I woke up this morning not

:49:33. > :49:38.feeling very good. I am on my electrolytes and hopefully I will

:49:38. > :49:42.feel better as the day goes on. what is the problem? I don't know,

:49:42. > :49:47.I just felt rotten when I went to bed and woke up feeling worse, but

:49:47. > :49:54.it is getting better as the day goes on. I guess it is all focus

:49:54. > :49:59.and concentrate? Absolute glee. It is a beautiful day, and I am

:49:59. > :50:02.looking forward to it. For what idea looking forward to out there?

:50:07. > :50:13.have stayed out of trouble, more or less. What are you looking forward

:50:13. > :50:18.to today? The crowds are fantastic, so playing in front of them. They

:50:18. > :50:22.welcome you onto every tee and every green. It is really nice to

:50:22. > :50:25.be out there and hopefully I am going to enjoy it and play well.

:50:53. > :51:03.full health, because he is a green. There are a couple of rolls

:51:03. > :51:08.

:51:08. > :51:18.the front middle. A lot of people have come up short their. Who hit

:51:18. > :51:25.the shot front edge this morning? I think it was Rory McIlroy. It is

:51:25. > :51:30.amazing how the a links course can dry out literally by the a all. --

:51:30. > :51:40.by the hour. How winger good stretch before the shot. Definitely

:51:40. > :51:54.

:51:54. > :52:04.going with a little draw. Bubba The at will have seemed very good

:52:04. > :52:33.

:52:33. > :52:43.to him. Going back to Retief Goosen, South African, 2010 champion Louis

:52:43. > :52:51.

:52:51. > :53:01.blessed with them to his swing. A bit like his mantra, big Ernie Els.

:53:01. > :53:06.

:53:07. > :53:16.of bother. You as, a man in an orange shirt with matching

:53:17. > :53:27.

:53:28. > :53:33.very nonchalantly, says, that was what was always planned. Watch the

:53:33. > :53:43.impact. I think that gave them a shock, as well. He managed to

:53:43. > :53:55.

:53:55. > :54:00.scuttle it and got everything right them, tomorrow they will be sailing

:54:00. > :54:07.at 60 knots. He is trying to get the spinnaker out. I don't think he

:54:07. > :54:17.is going to make the Olympic team. Padraig Harrington, his third on

:54:17. > :54:36.

:54:36. > :54:42.-- consistency. His hip action causes inconsistency in his timing,

:54:42. > :54:52.changes the angle of his swing as it comes back down. That is why you

:54:52. > :54:55.start to see shots going left and right. If it was me, I would just

:54:55. > :55:01.concentrate on getting that belt line working really nice and level

:55:01. > :55:06.throughout the swing, not forcing it. Then sprained plenty of time on

:55:06. > :55:16.cure you you're -- spent plenty of time on your short game. You can

:55:16. > :55:27.

:55:27. > :55:31.see the left wrist rotating through progressive rhythm to it. He fires

:55:32. > :55:39.in one of the fat -- finest shots we have seen. Only Bubba has been

:55:39. > :55:41.inside but one that I have been watching. My Martin Laird has

:55:41. > :55:48.played three Open championships before this one, has never made the

:55:48. > :55:57.cut a. He has already settled a record for himself by being here

:55:57. > :56:01.this weekend. 70 and 69 for the Scot. I know we have Comic Relief

:56:01. > :56:11.Red Nose Day, but I did not realise Saturday was read sued day at the

:56:11. > :56:31.

:56:31. > :56:38.slightly over-the-top to get a job, and when he does that, my goodness,

:56:38. > :56:48.it goes 20 or 30 yards further than intended. Mind you, that was years

:56:48. > :57:04.

:57:04. > :57:09.ago. He is a fine golfer and one in obviously a practice. He just

:57:09. > :57:14.brushes that one foreign easy two. It did not look like a two, did it?

:57:14. > :57:24.So second birdie of the day, dropped that shot at the fourth.

:59:39. > :59:42.

:59:42. > :59:52.that one, that is fabulous. He can get a descending glow of a five

:59:52. > :59:55.

:59:55. > :00:05.degrees on the down for a feed. -- for a fade. He can produce the

:00:05. > :00:32.

:00:32. > :00:42.angle upwards, of which is just going with more than a wedge. --

:00:42. > :00:45.

:00:45. > :00:53.Bubba Watson. That is a nice macro tutu start the day. -- that is a

:00:53. > :01:00.nice two to start the day. In my opinion, he led the Masters go. But

:01:00. > :01:10.he hit it into the trees, and then he followed down the right-hand

:01:10. > :01:46.

:01:46. > :01:51.for par. If you look down you can stay in red numbers, you are doing

:01:52. > :01:59.OK. I bet they are talking about cars. Ian Poulter was visiting the

:01:59. > :02:05.Ferrari workshop in southern Italy last week. He was annoying all his

:02:05. > :02:15.fans on Twitter about what his next Ferrari would be. Not a problem my

:02:15. > :02:41.

:02:41. > :02:51.that too hot for. Same spot as Ian Poulter. -- he got that to go

:02:51. > :03:09.

:03:09. > :03:14.Poulter with a three-wood -- Bubba Watson. If he really wanted

:03:14. > :03:17.everything out of it, he wanted it in front of the bunkers on the

:03:17. > :03:25.right-hand side to give him an angle in, bought with the whole car

:03:25. > :03:35.like this, from 220 yards can he get it some way in the back section

:03:35. > :03:43.

:03:43. > :03:53.and make a four and get out of left-hand side. -- over that left-

:03:53. > :04:08.

:04:08. > :04:15.bunkers, you have to bail out to the right. That is a very skinny

:04:15. > :04:21.section of the green. I've got to skirt the French track, and I can't

:04:21. > :04:31.carry it, because there's only 200 to take it out of the way -- of the

:04:31. > :04:42.

:04:42. > :04:50.face, that is no shot. Start picking the positive options!

:04:50. > :05:00.think go for a 6-iron. You see the guy in the light blue shirt? Yes, I

:05:00. > :05:05.

:05:05. > :05:11.see him. Just write of him. -- just go to the right of him. He used to

:05:11. > :05:21.being sued -- indecisive, but now he's not so sure! Over the green is

:05:21. > :05:37.

:05:37. > :05:44.is OK. A little chip and run. 25 yards. But was growing, but no

:05:44. > :05:54.longer. The there is the problem, write where the sprinkler head was.

:05:54. > :06:11.

:06:11. > :06:21.he would have liked to have split the difference there. 15 or 20 feet

:06:49. > :07:00.

:07:00. > :07:06.land in the middle of the green and again, all to the back page. I

:07:06. > :07:16.cannot imagine there is much more than a three-foot strip that is

:07:16. > :07:37.

:07:37. > :07:47.and can landed on the exact spot -- land it on the exact spot. He will

:08:50. > :08:56.We have been joined by the US PGA champion, Russell -- Keegan Bradley.

:08:56. > :09:02.You must have enjoyed yourself around the turn. I did. I saw Rikki

:09:02. > :09:08.was 2-under par after six and that got me going. I strung together of

:09:08. > :09:14.the four birdies. This year is the year you are learning it links golf.

:09:14. > :09:18.Was the Irish Open your first experience of it? Yes, but I played

:09:18. > :09:23.some in America although they don't compare to these. I am still

:09:23. > :09:29.learning as I go. I do not have any more first tournaments or anything

:09:29. > :09:33.now, so I'm excited. What is fun and what is less so about playing

:09:33. > :09:40.the links courses in the UK? atmosphere is really fun. The

:09:40. > :09:44.course can be not so fund. It could be so difficult. But I enjoy it. It

:09:44. > :09:54.is a tough test. How has life changed for use in Short's triumph

:09:54. > :10:09.

:10:09. > :10:14.in August? Mac - changed for you old way away. Just clipping that

:10:14. > :10:19.very slightly. These were the first Championship greens I ever putted

:10:19. > :10:24.on it when I came in 1975 for the English amateur and I never forget

:10:24. > :10:29.coming on that putting green, and I loved it. I could not believe the

:10:29. > :10:37.putting surface. It was incredible. You will always a marvellous party

:10:37. > :10:42.on those links greens. -- you were always. They are honest greens.

:10:42. > :10:52.a lot of undulations, but the surface was what struck me when I

:10:52. > :11:19.

:11:19. > :11:29.just about right. He had to work out the options, and there were not

:11:29. > :11:29.

:11:29. > :12:41.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:12:41. > :12:51.many where he could leave the ball. coming back to form. He has been

:12:51. > :13:02.

:13:02. > :13:09.feet. One of the finest putters from that distance in the modern

:13:09. > :13:19.era. He has played very consistently this year without the

:13:19. > :13:22.

:13:22. > :13:32.spark that takes you into the you're not looking for an iron? No,

:13:32. > :13:32.

:13:32. > :13:42.and the crowd give him a groan. I quite agree. Go back, come on! Yes,

:13:42. > :13:52.

:13:52. > :14:02.yes, yes! No, no, No. He has gone going to play it as three. That is

:14:02. > :14:11.

:14:11. > :14:14.no fun. That is when you keep concentration was gone, and look

:14:15. > :14:22.what he does, he didn't know what he was trying to do, and now he

:14:22. > :14:30.wishes he had belted a driver. put some new bunkers in on the

:14:30. > :14:34.course. They are all at 260 yards, up to 310. They are saying, please,

:14:34. > :14:44.don't hit a driver. Unfortunately the guys are doing it more often

:14:44. > :15:11.

:15:11. > :15:15.There you go. If you encourage the player to take a driver, they can

:15:15. > :15:22.take a risk and reap the reward all do what Ian Poulter has done and

:15:22. > :15:32.find a pot bunker. You want a heroic bunker to get close to,

:15:32. > :15:43.

:15:43. > :15:51.because that is the soul of the to get close to that one. The whole

:15:51. > :15:57.of location is 23 defeat on. -- the whole location. Ken, black cow --

:15:57. > :16:06.clouds again. That is not going to happen again. We have paid our

:16:06. > :16:12.penance this summer. I suppose it is about 750 yards from the sea up

:16:12. > :16:22.to the course. They are lovely as long as you do not find your ball

:16:22. > :16:59.

:16:59. > :17:07.strategy from here? The has kept it out of the sand bunkers, anyway --

:17:07. > :17:14.he has kept it. When you compared Bubba Watson and Luis who stays at

:17:14. > :17:18.the Masters, it was one who looked so jumpy. On paper, if you were to

:17:18. > :17:23.describe who was going to win the Masters, Bubba Watson would not be

:17:23. > :17:27.your first choice. He is way too twitchy. But when he was drawn with

:17:27. > :17:37.him, you thought the Ice man might calm him down. It seemed like that

:17:37. > :17:48.

:17:48. > :17:57.it at number one, and he burns the edge at number two. So he now has

:17:57. > :18:07.to think of the next bunker. They are kind of on top of the ridge.

:18:07. > :18:13.

:18:13. > :18:17.There are two on the right-hand back in position. He could have

:18:18. > :18:26.been there for one, Ken. Yes, he could have been. That is the

:18:26. > :18:33.amazing thing. Someone told me he suffers from attention deficit

:18:33. > :18:42.syndrome. Well, he looks good now. Ian Poulter has kicked off the

:18:42. > :18:49.bunker into the rough. Can he stand up to it? Can he get a stance? I

:18:49. > :18:52.guess so, just. That just about covers the whole course. Bubba

:18:52. > :19:02.Watson has done what he has done, Ian Poulter and has taken a gamble.

:19:02. > :19:03.

:19:03. > :19:13.Let's see who gets the lowest score. Well, we can try and carry on the

:19:13. > :19:25.

:19:25. > :19:35.the end of the day, we are coming up for a third shot. What is the

:19:35. > :19:44.

:19:44. > :19:54.back of the trap to the front? How far have we got? 140. 133.,

:19:54. > :20:01.

:20:01. > :20:05.basically 162 that, and then you 100 and 30s. If you hit it with a

:20:05. > :20:15.9-iron, you can start just to the right of the trap and it shouldn't

:20:15. > :20:41.

:20:41. > :20:43.It was amazing how much influence he had on him. Absolutely. But they

:20:43. > :20:48.are throwing in positives and negatives and that would have

:20:48. > :20:58.driven me up the wall. I used to like, what is there, what is that,

:20:58. > :21:08.get on with it. Same as the second shot on the 6th hole. About six

:21:08. > :21:15.

:21:15. > :21:25.decisions and indecisions every and I think that is for a double

:21:25. > :21:25.

:21:25. > :22:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:22:08. > :22:18.nudge the bat, but it was running slow. -- a little mark on the green

:22:18. > :22:23.

:22:23. > :22:32.nudged that, but it was running was somewhere towards where that

:22:32. > :22:42.bunker on the right is. It is quite a significant addition. Yes, an

:22:42. > :22:49.

:22:49. > :22:57.to where the old green was. That slope may have been the slope that

:22:57. > :23:07.guarded the front of the corner at the green. I remember that slope a

:23:07. > :23:23.

:23:23. > :23:32.does feed a little bit to the left from there. He had her laid-back a

:23:32. > :23:39.bit far to really get after the pin -- he had to the late it back.

:23:39. > :23:45.Tiger arriving. That slow walk, no rush. He will do it unintentionally

:23:45. > :23:49.on the course, whether he is on route to winning the event, and

:23:49. > :23:59.sometimes he would intentionally walked very slowly. Just to collect

:23:59. > :24:05.

:24:05. > :24:15.and hand action. He adds to much spin on twit. -- too much spin up

:24:15. > :24:40.

:24:40. > :24:50.A fan drastic shock after hitting that young lad on the head -- a

:24:50. > :25:12.

:25:12. > :25:18.fantastic shot after hitting that park, many moons ago. He should be

:25:18. > :25:28.OK, I'll well trampled area. might be a bit soggy. Better than

:25:28. > :25:46.

:25:46. > :25:51.the long, string the rough. might as well have a go with the

:25:51. > :26:01.whole location. Plenty of room for a chip and a putt or a long bunker

:26:01. > :26:08.

:26:08. > :26:18.of the men on the leaderboard appearing. Ernie Els will be in the

:26:18. > :26:35.

:26:35. > :26:40.company of fellow South African Looking good and you must be

:26:40. > :26:45.feeling confident. The last few days I played nicely. It is really

:26:45. > :26:48.about keeping the ball in play around the course. There is not

:26:48. > :26:52.much wind and the conditions have been great. It is still a brutal

:26:52. > :26:58.golf course and you need to think your way around it. One shot at a

:26:58. > :27:01.time, stay in the present and plod on. Thinking your way around it is

:27:01. > :27:07.nice to have had the advantage of two rounds to learn about the

:27:07. > :27:11.fickle nature of this course. got here on Monday and had a few

:27:11. > :27:16.practice rounds and the course come play differently depending on the

:27:16. > :27:21.conditions. Luckily we have had two very similar days. So you can kind

:27:21. > :27:25.of form a strategy. It is about taking the bunkers out of play and

:27:25. > :27:29.not being afraid to go into the green with the long irons. If you

:27:29. > :27:32.can keep it in play and hit it close with the eye and you give

:27:32. > :27:37.yourself birdie chances and Ginny to capitalise. But there is still a

:27:37. > :27:41.lot of golf left. -- and you can capitalise. The tournament really

:27:41. > :27:46.starts on Sunday on the back nine. I will try to get myself in good

:27:46. > :27:52.position. So you're not thinking maybe at this stage? You have to

:27:53. > :28:02.play one shot at the time. They est of luck. Thank you for your time. -

:28:03. > :28:19.

:28:19. > :28:23.one. Five-iron, five-iron and a nine-iron. Or a wedge. If you had a

:28:23. > :28:28.good tee shot away, you would just have a 4-iron to the middle of the

:28:28. > :28:33.green. If he had been four shops closer to the lead, but if he needs

:28:33. > :28:43.to force something to happen, but if you believe that is the right

:29:46. > :30:15.

:30:15. > :30:25.strategies, at same results. Both bunkers to drive a few of them out.

:30:25. > :30:33.

:31:05. > :31:11.think that impact probably came as a bit of a shock to them, he wasn't

:31:11. > :31:21.expecting that to explode. He was lucky there, I am surprised we got

:31:21. > :31:47.

:31:47. > :31:55.a wry smile, because that was a bit drivers cutting the corners. Board,

:31:56. > :32:01.play well back, just use a two-iron, then wedge it up there. It is

:32:01. > :32:11.awkward, that flag, on the back of the green. The depth perception is

:32:11. > :32:20.

:05:47. > :05:53.you be watching? I will probably be watching a little bit. What is the

:05:57. > :06:02.the bunkers off the tee and keep it on the fairway. Just give yourself

:06:02. > :06:05.a chance for birdie. It is a tough golf course and you can very easily

:06:05. > :06:10.make some doubles and some bogeys. Just keep it in play and give

:06:10. > :06:20.yourself a chance. Hopefully turn the Tiger in to a pussycat. Best of

:07:04. > :07:07.He seems a little bit awestruck. 3-under par. Only one Champions

:10:28. > :10:33.felt I could go out there and score and maybe play my way back into the

:10:33. > :10:40.tournament. But the last few holes, when you are struggling, it is hard

:10:45. > :10:49.likes of Graeme McDowell, Paul Lawrie, Luke Donald, is there a

:10:49. > :10:54.possibility for a low score, maybe 65 for one of them? There are

:16:54. > :16:58.more less remember every single shot from that, he says. He would

:17:02. > :17:07.Championship. Many more are out to try and strip them up, including at

:17:07. > :17:13.the likes of Paul Lawrie, 1-over for his round today. Further down,

:17:13. > :17:23.Kyle Stanley is going well at 2- under. He won a Championship

:17:23. > :17:28.earlier this season. At Nick Watney, home with a 69 today. That is

:17:28. > :17:35.another piece of good news for Indian golf after a Jeev Milka

:17:36. > :17:45.Singh's win last week. Miguel Angel Jimenez is on 73 today come a

:17:45. > :17:49.amongst those at 3-over. Nicolas Colsaerts was right up there on

:17:49. > :17:56.opening day, then frittered away five shots on the opening seven

:17:56. > :18:02.holes to drop out of contention. Rory McIlroy had us all very

:18:08. > :18:13.Jeev Milka Singh, after that excellent victory, he is recovering

:18:13. > :18:18.from injury, and at the bottom, Martin Laird. By far the worst

:20:31. > :20:47.

:20:47. > :20:51.moves to 6-under par. He was asked this morning about playing with

:20:51. > :20:59.Tiger, and he said he is the greatest player of all time. It is

:20:59. > :21:03.amazing how different generations have a different idea. Scottie got

:21:03. > :21:11.this home here yesterday. Different generations had different ideas as

:21:11. > :21:21.to who the best is. Absolutely. Some of us like Andy Williams and

:21:21. > :21:28.

:21:28. > :21:36.some of us like rapper Joe from greatest, but until he passes

:21:36. > :21:45.Jack's 18 Majors... Back down the fairway, Adam Scott ready to

:21:45. > :21:49.unleash. Who is rapper Joe from Cincinnati? I have no idea, but

:21:49. > :21:59.they make a funny noise and look weird. Do you think he can get

:21:59. > :21:59.

:21:59. > :22:09.there, Wayne? I cannot see whether he has his three... Well, Peter, he

:22:09. > :22:20.

:22:20. > :22:30.has 284 yards to go and the 3-wood loves it. What a belter! It could

:22:30. > :22:35.be in. Take a seat. That is worth the price of admission alone. That

:22:36. > :22:43.is wonderful. It is just divine ferocity. Two perfect shots, wasn't

:22:43. > :22:49.it? The power that he has with the control. He is a big lad, 6 ft 2.

:22:49. > :22:53.But that is a beautiful, really tremendously powerful swing. But

:22:53. > :23:00.finishing in a balanced position. We are talking about his game and

:23:00. > :23:03.how the caddie has done so much to help. His caddie work with Tiger

:23:03. > :23:08.Woods for 12 or 13 of his great championships and then they fell

:23:08. > :23:18.out. He is obviously making him into a great player, cementing the

:23:18. > :23:22.

:23:22. > :23:32.fact that he was, he is, he could. Olesen at the 12th. 5-iron here for

:23:32. > :23:42.

:23:42. > :23:48.Thorbjorn Olesen. This is bang on The modern game. Somebody is

:23:48. > :23:56.excited. Another very good shot from Olesen. He says he has been

:23:56. > :24:06.hitting his long iron superbly, in his own words. He is only a slip of

:24:06. > :24:16.

:24:16. > :24:26.is mounting on him. Agricultural. Especially with Scott tee up there.

:24:26. > :25:03.

:25:03. > :25:08.bunker. He has done that a few times today, dribbled off the back.

:25:08. > :25:13.It caught the downslope. A little higher, that would have stopped

:25:13. > :25:18.near the flag, but it has scuttled on. A couple of yards further left,

:25:18. > :25:28.a bit more on line, left of the flag. Could have been a hole in

:25:28. > :25:39.

:25:39. > :25:47.the move, to 5-under. He loves the Majors. And he is loving this Open

:25:47. > :25:57.Championship. He looks busy and happy. It looks as if he really is

:25:57. > :26:06.

:26:06. > :26:12.done well. 62 years of age. His chest as slipped down a little over

:26:12. > :26:19.the years, but look at that. Six birdies, and a few miscues. Great

:26:19. > :26:29.stuff. Kissing the old lady. Bless you! Somebody is sneezing. Terrific

:26:29. > :26:29.

:26:29. > :27:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:27:15. > :27:22.stuff, one of the rounds of the day because his drive, it is reward for

:27:22. > :27:30.his bravery and skill. Taking the driver, getting up. Bravery and

:27:30. > :27:34.execution, superb. If he two putts this, he has birdied every par-five.

:27:34. > :27:38.Tiger is 1-under for the par-fives, but that will be the difference in

:27:38. > :27:46.their score, too. Adam Scott has been more the aggressor, and it has

:27:46. > :27:56.been to his benefit. I wonder who was the last man to win the Open

:27:56. > :27:56.

:27:56. > :28:06.wearing a diamond patterned sweater. Any ideas? Did tell me it was the

:28:06. > :28:06.

:28:06. > :28:16.Shark. Mr Faldo, may be. He does it with such elegance, though. He is a

:28:16. > :28:25.

:28:25. > :28:32.big man. And he hits it hard, but Dear me! Adam! Nick Faldo won his

:28:33. > :28:42.last one in 1992. What a beautifully played golf hole.

:28:43. > :28:51.

:28:51. > :29:01.Absolutely delightful. Power with all of a sudden. It is a queer game,

:29:01. > :29:23.

:29:23. > :29:27.isn't it? Tiger has just fallen off It is falling apart. He went out

:29:27. > :29:31.with such a happy heart. Last night, he was saying how much he was

:29:31. > :29:40.enjoying things, relishing the weekend's challenge, looking

:29:40. > :29:43.forward to the wind on Sunday. Wonderful crowds here. It has been

:29:43. > :29:47.absolutely wonderful. But I do think they should look into the

:29:47. > :29:53.fact that the price of food and beverage on the course is bordering

:29:53. > :29:57.on disgraceful. I think they should take a lead from the Masters, where

:29:57. > :30:03.they have probably the cheapest food and beverage at any great

:30:03. > :30:07.event. There are a lot of unhappy people. They work so hard and get

:30:07. > :30:17.it so right. It is silly to lose your reputation over a bag of chips

:30:17. > :30:34.

:30:34. > :30:44.and a bun. I could do with a bag of skating past. Mind you, a strange

:30:44. > :31:00.

:31:00. > :31:10.seen him hole two or 38 to 10 footers. Shot dropped. -- 2 or 3,

:31:10. > :31:24.

:31:24. > :31:28.solid. It is always great. That is the thing about playing with the

:31:28. > :31:38.best players. You get to judge yourself against them, just to see

:31:38. > :32:08.

:32:08. > :32:13.A long walk to the 13th. All the way back. The 13th has given them

:32:13. > :32:23.some trouble. You can see the nest of bunkers at the top left, but the

:32:23. > :32:45.

:32:45. > :32:52.but he is putting so beautifully, he is not in any real trouble. That

:32:52. > :33:01.is his ball, right on the edge of the road, the one on the right.

:33:01. > :33:04.made par from there. He did. You can see a lot of balls front right.

:33:04. > :33:14.See the Vibration in his hands, and the shock that goes through the

:33:14. > :33:38.

:33:38. > :33:44.fortune there. He will be able to move that. No penalty. Adam Scott

:33:44. > :33:54.is on track, 12-under par. Tom Lehman has the lowest first 54 hole

:33:54. > :34:10.

:34:10. > :34:14.the course very, very playable again. Not a breath. This finish is

:34:14. > :34:21.as Stoute as any Championship finish on any of the courses. 444

:34:21. > :34:29.yards, the 14th. Plenty of trouble all round and about. This is

:34:29. > :34:32.looking back to the 12th. Final pair. Just wondering what Adam

:34:32. > :34:37.Scott, how he might fare when the wind gets up. His record in the

:34:37. > :34:44.Open is not great. In 2006, he had his only top 10 at Hoylake, which

:34:44. > :34:49.was fairly benign. That is the one thing on the horizon which he might

:34:49. > :34:58.have to worry about. He is playing beautifully. And also control in

:34:58. > :35:08.the long putter, if it is very, very windy, is difficult. Graeme

:35:08. > :35:23.

:35:23. > :35:33.McDowell has been taking his time back birdies. He moves to 6-under.

:35:33. > :35:37.

:35:37. > :35:41.They love it. He loves it. Getting in the mix. This 13th, it's the

:35:41. > :35:47.kind of hole, if you are playing with your friends, these guys would

:35:47. > :35:57.rip the driver out of the bag and try and knock it on. That is a

:35:57. > :36:07.

:36:08. > :36:17.you. Awkward tee shot. Visually. You cannot see, really, the true

:36:18. > :36:32.

:36:32. > :36:42.brings the first bunker on the left out of play. It looks a little less

:36:42. > :37:03.

:37:03. > :37:07.than that. Landing very soft, into the links, all caught by our

:37:07. > :37:11.cameras and occasionally in super slow-motion. Painful for Snedeker

:37:11. > :37:15.today, coming in with a lead which he has seen disappear, taken over

:37:15. > :37:25.by his playing partner. Tiger Woods as well, with the occasional touch

:37:25. > :37:50.

:37:50. > :38:00.tester. He has a natural draw to his shots. He did not fancy taking

:38:00. > :38:08.

:38:08. > :38:14.on that hole location, and that bit of momentum, one of those eight

:38:14. > :38:24.footers slips past the edge of the cup. He was brilliant from eight,

:38:24. > :38:24.

:38:25. > :38:34.10, 12 feet all of his career. Snedeker is a fast player, but he

:38:35. > :38:35.

:38:35. > :39:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:39:21. > :39:25.yard drive down the middle, the way perhaps added a bit of a hard edge.

:39:26. > :39:31.Adam Scott is such a nice guy. Do you think that is possible? I would

:39:31. > :39:35.agree with that. Adam, to put it in the nicest way, is a softie. He has

:39:35. > :39:39.a fantastic golf swing, but we wanted more fight out of him, a bit

:39:39. > :39:43.more, pick a fight with somebody. Steve has picked a few fights in

:39:43. > :39:48.his day, so him coming on the bag, and they have great respect for

:39:48. > :39:52.each other. I know they sat down before he took a job and gave him a

:39:52. > :39:57.good, voiced his opinion and said, you are wasting your time. I will

:39:57. > :40:01.work with you only if you give me 100%. So he has pushed a lot out of

:40:01. > :40:11.Adam. They got their great won last year, which sparked a few great

:40:11. > :40:26.

:40:26. > :40:31.one, it has to be said. Way off with the wedge. 10 yards short.

:40:31. > :40:35.Well, just short of the 13th green. It is an interesting green and Ken

:40:35. > :40:40.Brown has had a look at it. I have been wandering around the course

:40:40. > :40:46.this morning and the greens are considerably faster than the first

:40:46. > :40:49.two days. The first days were about 10-6 on the stint metre, nearly a

:40:49. > :40:54.foot faster. You can see they are shiny. If you get above the hole,

:40:54. > :40:59.they are quite quick. That is not Augusta, but too much power, if you

:40:59. > :41:03.miss the pin, you roll over the back of the green. These pins have

:41:03. > :41:07.little idiosyncrasies about them. If you miss it by the left, by a

:41:07. > :41:12.yard, with the extra speed, the ball goes trickling off. If you

:41:12. > :41:16.come up a bit shy, only four feet from the cup, the ball will trickle

:41:16. > :41:20.down. This morning, with the tight pins and the extra speed, you must

:41:20. > :41:28.make sure you are pinpoint accurate, and you do need touch. A bit of

:41:28. > :41:33.extra putting on the putting green could pay dividends. He pushed

:41:33. > :41:43.another one in. I watched that action for years. What are you

:41:43. > :41:49.

:41:49. > :41:54.doing sitting there? You should be That is very well done. I agree

:41:54. > :42:02.with that. 13 looks like a very tame par four and you think you can

:42:02. > :42:07.always get close. Watch how he holds off the angle. Maintain the

:42:07. > :42:12.angle in your right wrist, like an anti- hook shot. He is strong. He

:42:12. > :42:15.has big shoulders. He was nearly rookie of the year last year. Tom

:42:15. > :42:22.Lewis was rookie of the year, but Olesen had a chance as well. There

:42:22. > :42:30.was not much between them in his first season on the European Tour.

:42:30. > :42:35.Tom Lewis, Welwyn Garden City lad. He is trying to win more Majors

:42:35. > :42:42.than you, Nick, so he has his work cut out. He wants to be the best

:42:42. > :42:48.golfer in Welwyn Garden City. wish him well. I hope he is. Back

:42:48. > :42:58.on the tee. Adam Scott and Steve Williams have had their chat. Just

:42:58. > :43:08.

:43:08. > :43:18.right, hidden. You look at the left-hand bunker and fade off that

:43:18. > :43:18.

:43:18. > :43:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:43:59. > :44:09.one. Played it well back for safety. few deep breaths and see if he can

:44:09. > :44:17.

:44:17. > :44:21.gather himself and refocus for the the others have been. Such a long

:44:21. > :44:28.way back he had to walk 50 yards to the top of the hill to survey his

:44:28. > :44:38.shot. 231 with a bit of breeze into his face. The hole is at the back

:44:38. > :45:06.

:45:06. > :45:14.of the green, so he has to pull out it away. You never used to twirl.

:45:14. > :45:24.Not enough, I guess! Slippery one for Olesen, which just stays out

:45:24. > :45:25.

:45:25. > :45:29.there. Again, so impressed with what he has done today. We thought

:45:29. > :45:34.that he might wilt in the Tiger Woods circus, but he has done

:45:34. > :45:39.anything but. Who thought he might well? Certainly not him. You never

:45:39. > :45:49.know, with someone who is 22. He is a big talent but you do not know

:45:49. > :46:07.

:46:07. > :46:12.how they will handle that today. He felt a little bit ill. 73

:46:12. > :46:16.is the result, 3-over par for Dyson. It has not been his luckiest season.

:46:16. > :46:26.He had a few weeks off with injury and was desperate to make the Ryder

:46:26. > :46:50.

:46:50. > :46:58.for him today either. 2-over today. If you are wondering why you have

:46:58. > :47:06.not seen Luke Donald, he is over- par, back at level par. Olesen does

:47:06. > :47:11.not like this one. It is trouble. We know what has to be done from

:47:22. > :48:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:48:07. > :48:11.perfect pitching wedge distance for water. Let's hear from Ken Brown

:48:11. > :48:15.again. After all of the rain we have heard, there are still one or

:48:15. > :48:19.two bunkers with water in. This is number 16. It makes them double

:48:19. > :48:24.difficult. If you find the water, you have to drop it in the bunker

:48:24. > :48:32.somewhere, you cannot repeat outside. When you do that, watch

:48:32. > :48:35.what happens. It plugs. These are double hazards. This one on 16 is

:48:35. > :48:41.NE25 feet from the pin. Most of them have been drained but there

:48:41. > :48:51.are one or two with lying water, and they are wicked, vengeful and

:48:51. > :49:04.

:49:04. > :49:09.nasty. -- it is only 25 feet from badly. It is just clay like sander.

:49:09. > :49:19.Especially if you're off a down hill lie, the back of the bunker.

:49:19. > :49:25.

:49:25. > :49:35.Very difficult to get speed in the spin it back. It did not come back.

:49:35. > :49:48.

:49:48. > :49:52.spectators to the 15th green, Graeme McDowell. He is on a good

:49:53. > :49:58.run. I would say so. If he rolls this in for a birdie, it is three

:49:58. > :50:08.in a row and he gets to 7-under. Once again, he has circled every

:50:08. > :50:37.

:50:38. > :50:45.acceptable. Even without degrees it is stuff that. We need back into

:50:46. > :50:55.the sand, it comes down towards the foot prints. -- Olesen. First

:50:56. > :50:56.

:50:56. > :52:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:52:40. > :52:43.is a wicked little pin. He is not look at the fact that he is still

:52:43. > :52:53.on 6-under, still in a decent position. It won't feel like that,

:52:53. > :52:53.

:52:53. > :53:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 84 seconds

:53:35. > :53:39.at this swing. I had a chat with Sean Foley and he said, well, I was

:53:39. > :53:44.trying to get any secrets out of him how they turned it around at

:53:44. > :53:47.the Masters, they had just been grinding away. He said, he has got

:53:47. > :53:55.the blueprint, it is just a case of it finally starting to click

:53:55. > :54:03.together. How about that? Do you have a wedge in your hand, you lead

:54:03. > :54:08.in the Open, a tiny little pool. I would still call at a three putt.

:54:08. > :54:15.On this that it wouldn't be, but it would feel like a three putt to the

:54:15. > :54:22.players. You have to be very careful that does not give you a

:54:22. > :54:29.nasty shake. First dropped shot for Adam Scott. That will create a

:54:29. > :54:32.little bit of something in the mind. Yes, he is on cruise control now, a

:54:32. > :54:42.couple of weeks back at Congressional he had a great day on

:54:42. > :54:52.

:54:52. > :55:02.the last round, then something of the bunker, that is four, still

:55:02. > :55:08.

:55:08. > :55:11.going left, and once again puts himself been to keep trouble. Just

:55:11. > :55:18.no respite on a golf course like this. Once you start to feel you

:55:18. > :55:23.were losing it, very difficult to put it back. But this man has been

:55:23. > :55:28.driving brilliantly, don't you think? He has, and always a tricky

:55:28. > :55:38.tee-shot, this. There is a new bunker on the left which you think

:55:38. > :55:53.

:55:53. > :55:57.you might just cut off, but it is this. That is nearly on the green.

:55:57. > :56:07.My goodness, he has hit that down to the cross bunkers, how far is

:56:07. > :56:36.

:56:36. > :56:46.that? 349? They're just there to clubs use, that is why the spines

:56:46. > :56:50.

:56:50. > :56:57.are so different. Take us through Dufner is using a three? I am not

:56:57. > :57:07.sure. I think it might have been a three-wood, it was not too far up

:57:07. > :57:37.

:57:37. > :57:47.up short, Tiger has left himself in just not quite fitting them firmly

:57:47. > :57:49.

:57:49. > :57:56.making his way and not happy about that. Nevertheless, he is the man

:57:56. > :58:01.in closest pursuit of the leader, Adam Scott. He was stretching his

:58:01. > :58:06.lead, even at that little blip on the 13th, but still comfortable

:58:06. > :58:12.with a tough closing few holes to go at one of the most respected

:58:12. > :58:17.finishers in Open Championship golf, all of them pars from here on in.

:58:17. > :58:22.Graeme McDowell is shooting up the rankings, 2-under par for his round,

:58:22. > :58:27.tied with Brandt Snedeker. It has been a torrid afternoon for the man

:58:27. > :58:31.from Tennessee. It has been wonderful to watch Thorbjorn Olesen,

:58:31. > :58:33.and he has coped well in this it is like environment alongside Tiger

:58:33. > :58:39.like environment alongside Tiger Woods. We have to take a break here
