:00:30. > :00:34.Hello again. All change at the Open Championship. We began Saturday
:00:34. > :00:41.with Brandt Snedeker, the man from Tennessee, holing a one-shot lead
:00:41. > :00:47.over the field and the man chasing him, Adams got, things have all
:00:47. > :00:57.change here for the Australian -- Adam Scott. He has looked very
:00:57. > :01:03.
:01:03. > :01:08.serene, very composed on the route lead. Graeme McDowell is leading
:01:09. > :01:15.the charge for the UK and for that golfing world power, Northern
:01:15. > :01:25.Ireland! Let's get back out there and the company of Nick Faldo or,
:01:25. > :01:38.
:01:38. > :01:48.enormous tee shot, a wage for Scott. shot and he will be disappointed
:01:48. > :01:59.
:01:59. > :02:09.with that one. -- after that tee It turns a bit from right to left.
:02:09. > :02:21.
:02:21. > :02:28.I couldn't see that, maybe on the he didn't hit it. I can't believe
:02:28. > :02:38.that. It was right in the middle of a whole. Settle down! I can't
:02:38. > :02:41.
:02:41. > :02:51.believe he didn't hit it. You've got another 24 hours to go. The
:02:51. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:08.dogs are yodelling all the way has just lost his concentration.
:03:08. > :03:14.actually came in off a spectator, no upgrade to their hotel room
:03:14. > :03:24.because they were fine. But that was a horror. He is really out of
:03:24. > :03:34.
:03:34. > :03:38.difficult to get that kind of deception on the 17th because the
:03:38. > :03:48.green is right in the middle on the end of the golf course -- that
:03:48. > :03:59.
:03:59. > :04:09.it is a five. Another one disappears, so, really, he just
:04:09. > :04:43.
:04:43. > :04:49.wants to get in and get a plaster you are right. Still comes up about
:04:49. > :04:59.30 yards short and needs a chip shot. It puts a lot of pressure on
:04:59. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:24.your long game if you are 230 yards - the long putters. That is the
:05:24. > :05:33.
:05:33. > :05:38.fault chest putter. I am still terrible mistake. The pretty good,
:05:38. > :05:48.in the heart of the surface. Yes, he has done well. It is just so
:05:48. > :06:23.
:06:23. > :06:32.annoying, his concentration went leaderboard, Snedeker is
:06:32. > :06:37.comfortably the worst on the course. You can't bat, Adam Scott and Tiger
:06:37. > :06:42.Woods -- look at that, Adam Scott and Tiger Woods. It is the pairing
:06:42. > :06:48.most people would like to see on the final day. Bubba Watson had
:06:48. > :06:58.been going so well but then dropped three shots in a couple of holes.
:06:58. > :07:31.
:07:31. > :07:39.one nicely. You're never sure with your first bounce Al -- on the tee
:07:39. > :07:49.shot. He has had a few going left, so he wants to work some fade on
:07:49. > :07:49.
:07:49. > :08:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:08:47. > :08:53.his putter in his hand. I think he thought it ended up closer to the
:08:53. > :09:03.front edge, but it is a sensible club. In no way is this an easy two
:09:03. > :09:39.
:09:39. > :09:49.Just clambered, but a good five will have a lot of decide -- things
:09:49. > :10:04.
:10:04. > :10:10.for Luke Donald. Playing alongside the New Zealander who has had a
:10:10. > :10:16.good tournament, but both men are 1-over par for the day. Donald will
:10:16. > :10:26.tap-in. Such a disappointing day. Moving day, but he's only gone
:10:26. > :10:44.
:10:44. > :10:48.backwards. Too far back, heading birdie coming in, playing with
:10:48. > :10:58.Tiger and one of the last groups and a Major on Saturday. He looks
:10:58. > :11:06.
:11:06. > :11:11.perception. Brilliantly done. McDowell with a great opportunity.
:11:11. > :11:17.If he can scrape one more and if Adam Scott loses one, what a
:11:17. > :11:27.difference it makes. We saw Ernie on the green, nudging him for a
:11:27. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:50.last year. But after a sluggish 2012 he is back in the swing of
:11:50. > :12:29.
:12:29. > :12:36.Reid. He did one right on the very first green. That one left to right,
:12:36. > :12:41.but it went sloping the other way. We go on about it, but in his pomp,
:12:41. > :12:51.those parts would have dropped. Five or six years ago, his
:12:51. > :13:14.
:13:14. > :13:24.statistics from inside 10 feet were cited to the pin. The second shot
:13:24. > :13:30.
:13:30. > :13:36.invite you to run one on -- Fractionally into the breeze. That
:13:36. > :13:46.is way out. You are right, Maureen. He needed a good, hard, low,
:13:46. > :14:07.
:14:07. > :14:17.nothing better than a six available. But hoping and wanting this to
:14:17. > :14:35.
:14:35. > :14:45.mental strength, just to himself. Played these last four holes really
:14:45. > :15:16.
:15:16. > :15:23.solid. Well, he currently leads by Yes, and there is a good bump right
:15:23. > :15:33.behind it. It looks good, but that is a nasty putt. He knows it. You
:15:33. > :15:36.
:15:36. > :15:39.do not want to be passed the flag. Tricky to read that putt. Steve
:15:39. > :15:44.Williams will be glued to Adam Scott tomorrow. He will not let him
:15:44. > :15:52.out of his side. Keep the conversation going. There smiling a
:15:52. > :16:02.lot. That is always a good sign. If everyone pars from here, Graeme
:16:02. > :16:11.
:16:11. > :16:15.McDowell will be playing with Adam I'm sure he's disappointed Healey
:16:15. > :16:22.has one hole left. He has played some fantastic golf over the last
:16:22. > :16:32.five holes. What a move he has made in the last nine. Picking up three
:16:32. > :16:32.
:16:32. > :17:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:17:21. > :17:31.to that one. Another bunker right side... You're kidding me. What
:17:31. > :17:31.
:17:31. > :18:18.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:18:18. > :18:22.Tiger on the 16th hole. Slightly at this hole. That was very
:18:22. > :18:32.aggressive. Trying to force it over these tiny little slopes and the
:18:32. > :18:48.
:18:48. > :18:58.ruthless. You cannot Stade giving anything away. When you have a lead
:18:58. > :19:06.
:19:06. > :19:10.like this, you have to been even day. You might need every inch of
:19:10. > :19:20.your lead. He's looking anxious, Graham McDowell. But that was a
:19:20. > :19:38.
:19:38. > :19:48.perfect tee shot. Birdies at 13, 14 excellent. Another four feet and
:19:48. > :19:58.
:19:58. > :20:08.that would have trickled over the Well done. That might just settle
:20:08. > :20:33.
:20:33. > :20:39.chance of a birdie at 16. Looking good, Ken. 19 years since an
:20:39. > :20:49.Australian has hoisted the Claret Jug. You can feel the party
:20:49. > :21:18.
:21:18. > :21:22.tee. There's no guessing where that freefall for a large part of this
:21:22. > :21:32.round. It is just one of those days when everything you touch is the
:21:32. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:08.away by this whole lot. It has been a fascinating day. Blast six hours,
:22:08. > :22:28.
:22:28. > :22:38.particularly, have been absolutely putts that have looked in that it
:22:38. > :22:38.
:22:38. > :22:48.did not find the hole. But he is by no means out of it. 76 players have
:22:48. > :22:48.
:22:48. > :22:52.completed their round and only 14 have broken par. Although we're
:22:52. > :23:02.talking about wonderful play, it has been much tighter than many
:23:02. > :23:12.people thought. We were talking about 64 as and 65, if you could do
:23:12. > :23:18.
:23:18. > :23:24.The way he has been hitting the last few holes, he has got to feel
:23:24. > :23:34.good about this one. Even though the whole position is so far back.
:23:34. > :23:52.
:23:52. > :24:02.moves and Johnson spins, you never go far wrong if you're in the
:24:02. > :24:03.
:24:03. > :24:07.middle. That is excellent. Very good play, Graham McDowell. After a
:24:07. > :24:17.little bit of a shaky start, he dropped to shot in the first couple
:24:17. > :24:22.of holes. -- he drops two shots in the first couple of holes. Still
:24:22. > :24:28.not out of it. It is getting further and further away. He has
:24:28. > :24:38.done quite well, just a bit of a hiccup there and 14. Overall, he
:24:38. > :24:52.
:24:52. > :25:02.has handled himself well. This man to interview tonight. Even if he
:25:02. > :25:02.
:25:02. > :25:53.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:25:53. > :25:58.walking up on to the 18th green. Now, Adam Scott. He has kept
:25:58. > :26:03.finding the target, Ken, hasn't he? He is hitting the ball flush out of
:26:03. > :26:07.the centre of the club face. Occasionally get that in your
:26:07. > :26:17.career, and everything he hit comes out of the sweet spot in the centre
:26:17. > :26:17.
:26:17. > :27:03.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:27:03. > :27:08.Perfect. He is 22 years old and he does not have a driving licence. He
:27:08. > :27:14.has to get a bite to practice. Really? He has played very well
:27:14. > :27:22.today. I have got a 62 year-old make it does not have a driver's
:27:22. > :27:29.licence. He played all his career in Japan. Brian Jones. There was a
:27:29. > :27:39.character. Wars? He still is! glad to hear that. What of
:27:39. > :27:56.
:27:56. > :28:06.characters in the game. -- lot of Wonderful applause for Graeme
:28:06. > :28:10.
:28:10. > :28:20.was never really running up the hole. A beautifully constructed
:28:20. > :28:25.
:28:25. > :28:33.round. Terrific stuff. Terrific. And the clubhouse at seven under
:28:33. > :28:38.par. Wonderful closing stretch of holes. Babb he will be interesting
:28:38. > :28:44.to see tomorrow. This is his 9th Open Championship, and he has a
:28:44. > :28:49.modest record. 11th was best finish in 2005. He seems to have embraced
:28:49. > :28:59.major championships in the last couple of years. He has certainly
:28:59. > :29:06.
:29:06. > :29:16.done that. Playing with Jason Apart from that he has been OK. He
:29:16. > :29:24.
:29:24. > :29:30.one. As Nick was saying, if you get a chance to press home your
:29:30. > :29:40.advantage, now is the time. Easier said than done, though Keller Ken,
:29:40. > :29:40.
:29:40. > :30:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:30:26. > :30:29.delighted to see him striding along birdie, but finally, something in
:30:30. > :30:39.the right direction. Within five of the lead. Not out of it by any
:30:40. > :30:52.
:30:52. > :30:57.down this fairway. He has found a sanded divot. He looked a bit
:30:57. > :31:07.disenchanted. He's got about 190 yards. It is not the end of the
:31:07. > :31:07.
:31:07. > :31:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:31:51. > :31:54.world, with a medium iron. It makes away from the hole. He has had a
:31:54. > :31:58.little bit of misfortune with a couple of short where he went
:31:58. > :32:08.straight through the back of the green. This has been one of his
:32:08. > :32:10.
:32:10. > :32:16.lesser days, but he's still very much there. I know exactly what
:32:16. > :32:26.Thorbjorn Olesen will be thinking. He wants to lose ---not lose to
:32:26. > :32:47.
:32:47. > :32:57.Tiger on this, the first tee he has too many better than that. Today,
:32:57. > :32:57.
:32:57. > :33:07.and through the entire week. Chris has asked,-I remembered Joe Baker?
:33:07. > :33:23.
:33:23. > :33:33.Leader Max Max it away. If the wind get it up tomorrow, they will not
:33:33. > :33:52.
:33:52. > :34:02.be any irons off the tee. They will bogeys and only one birdie for Paul
:34:02. > :34:20.
:34:20. > :34:26.perfect set-up to copy. Athletic and powerful. Someone was saying
:34:26. > :34:36.earlier, he has Tiger's swing from a few years ago, Tiger Woods is old
:34:36. > :34:37.
:34:37. > :34:44.caddie and his coach as well. He has nicked the whole lot!
:34:44. > :34:49.closing stages of the Open Championship, the third round. Adam
:34:49. > :34:59.Scott, a strong leader. A four- stroke lead over Graham McDowell. A
:34:59. > :35:27.
:35:27. > :35:33.wonderful round of 67 from Graeme owned -- he has only two birdies
:35:33. > :35:36.today, however. It is wonderful, the way they set up the grandstands
:35:36. > :35:42.around the 18th at all our championships. They all seem to fit
:35:42. > :35:52.in just a treat. It certainly has. They have had a lot of time to work
:35:52. > :36:20.
:36:20. > :36:30.it all out and they have done it so greens at all. Tiger is level par.
:36:30. > :36:30.
:36:30. > :36:35.If he holes this putt and get a four down the last, he will have 70.
:36:35. > :36:45.It is all going too fast. They're playing at around three years 15
:36:45. > :36:54.
:36:54. > :37:03.minutes. Four major golf, that is Royal and Ancient and a lot of
:37:03. > :37:13.other people. Coming to the end of a disappointing day. He started the
:37:13. > :37:42.
:37:42. > :37:52.day four under par. He has not been man. Very good playing. Tiger has a
:37:52. > :38:09.
:38:09. > :38:19.asked, how much do they grow from morning to night? It is like
:38:19. > :38:36.
:38:36. > :38:46.somebody's whiskers. It is but he made it look easy. He is
:38:46. > :38:46.
:38:46. > :39:35.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:39:35. > :39:39.conference, something happens. Killer blow. And the embarrassment.
:39:39. > :39:49.A front of all those people on the grandstands, you feel like crawling
:39:49. > :40:08.
:40:08. > :40:18.It has gone a touch right. -- bid squarely on the back of the ball
:40:18. > :40:18.
:40:18. > :40:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:40:58. > :41:08.missed everybody. It could be all right. It could be in that thin,
:41:08. > :41:23.
:41:23. > :41:29.waspish it on the corner. Very wayward with the irons, hasn't he?
:41:29. > :41:39.He was yesterday, in all truth. He hit a few wayward ones and got away
:41:39. > :42:03.
:42:03. > :42:07.with them and then holed putts so the end of this third round. Adam
:42:07. > :42:13.Scott may well drop a shot at the 17th. Somebody else might slip a
:42:13. > :42:21.birdie and at the last and it is all quite tight. That promises a
:42:21. > :42:31.lot for tomorrow. It certainly does. Adam is in a bit of trouble on the
:42:31. > :42:44.
:42:44. > :42:48.17th. Without a fantastic bunker still quite wet. There is still
:42:48. > :42:57.some water and the bottom of a few of them. 20 bunkers on the 17th
:42:57. > :43:07.hole. The length of the bunker shot should actually help this. He will
:43:07. > :43:19.
:43:19. > :43:27.It is generally the one that asks. It looks like it might be Brandt
:43:27. > :43:37.Snedecker's. Tiger, striding up the 18th. The applause will start in a
:43:37. > :43:50.
:43:50. > :43:55.drop from the casual water and, with the wet sand, you can put a
:43:55. > :44:00.bit of spin on it. A wonderful shot from Brandt Snedecker. He needs
:44:00. > :44:04.some to go the right way. The 17th hole today is ranked the 14th
:44:04. > :44:10.easiest hole on the golf course, which is unheard of. This is
:44:10. > :44:15.normally the toughest. Maureen, this looks as if it has settled a
:44:15. > :44:25.bit in the bunker. He has only been in one other green side bunker that
:44:25. > :44:37.
:44:37. > :44:42.I can recall, on the very opening the day. They haven't been any
:44:42. > :44:46.shots better than that. That was pretty good. Not under the
:44:46. > :44:52.circumstances, to put that within 14 inches of the hole was fabulous.
:44:52. > :44:57.Peter Thomson would be proud of that one. Yes, he would. I bet he's
:44:58. > :45:05.sitting there with a whisky having a little set and enjoying himself.
:45:06. > :45:11.I am sure many is probably asleep. He just ripped underneath. See how
:45:11. > :45:16.he leads into the shot, pushing it forward. Had to carry over the next
:45:16. > :45:26.bunker and on to the green. He nearly holed it. And now he pops it
:45:26. > :45:43.
:45:43. > :45:49.in for a four. Well played. Only has been playing. -- that he has
:45:49. > :45:54.been playing. One of the few times we have seen him heated the correct
:45:54. > :46:04.weight today. His distance control has not been the best. -- seen him

:46:04. > :47:06.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:47:06. > :47:12.pair coming -- the last pair coming because there is no relief from the
:47:12. > :47:15.clubhouse. If it doesn't blow tomorrow, they will put why in the
:47:16. > :47:22.flags so they stand out a little bit! I have never seen anything
:47:22. > :47:27.like it. It is very, very still. The weather man still says it is
:47:27. > :47:36.going to blow tomorrow. This one it zips right through. He makes good
:47:36. > :47:46.contact. Not a bad position. A bit harder into the clubhouse and it
:47:46. > :47:46.
:47:46. > :49:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:49:02. > :49:04.would have bounced back on to the He had a chance to make birdie on
:49:04. > :49:14.Thursday and set Championship history for the lowest round, if he
:49:14. > :49:24.
:49:24. > :49:30.had made it, but he clipped it into bounce back in off the clubhouse
:49:30. > :49:35.wall -- he has been rather lucky. He has been a bit lucky and has
:49:35. > :49:41.just enough room to be able to park it. So, on the whole, not to tricky,
:49:41. > :49:48.but a lot of undulation. He has to go up and then eventually 10 feet
:49:49. > :49:58.short of the whole. This is really quite a fast putt from there. No
:49:59. > :50:25.
:50:25. > :50:35.mean feat to get it down in two. rough they have around, just two
:50:35. > :51:10.
:51:10. > :51:20.in my day. They were never allowed in the clubhouse. How did they get
:51:20. > :51:21.
:51:21. > :51:27.in there? I was 42 before they let me in! See how silent it is. That
:51:27. > :51:37.is always the amazing thing about golf galleries and spectators. All
:51:37. > :51:47.those people they can be so quiet. Except us. And it is all controlled
:51:47. > :52:20.
:52:20. > :52:30.with a piece of string down the hard enough and just went a little
:52:30. > :52:32.
:52:32. > :52:42.bit wide. So a four for Tiger. Around 70. -- a round of 70.

:54:12. > :54:18.respect of Tiger Woods today. Absolutely. He played some very

:55:18. > :55:21.
:55:21. > :55:29.still in the hunt. The three would that. Regardless of what he does
:55:29. > :55:35.here, he will be playing with Tiger Woods tomorrow, and Graeme McDowell
:55:35. > :55:45.who has had the best round of the day will be playing Our Leader,

:56:58. > :57:06.across Tasmania. The way Adam Scott has been putting, I wouldn't be
:57:06. > :57:15.surprised if he popped it in. But there is quite a swing on this.
:57:15. > :57:21.Snedeker's part is a slow one that tails off left to right. And we
:57:21. > :57:27.have not seen too many people get it up to the hole. But it is
:57:27. > :57:35.pulling up short. We have been saying how beautifully the course
:57:35. > :57:39.has been presented. I met the only lady greenkeeper here, 65 of them
:57:39. > :57:45.drafted in, plus the local lads, and they have done a super job.
:57:45. > :57:49.They have said it has been very difficult because of the weather.
:57:49. > :57:59.They have done a terrific job. And the volunteers to go round doing
:57:59. > :58:25.
:58:25. > :58:30.the bunkers. It is a pleasure to turn. That's more like it! Well, 3,
:58:30. > :58:35.4, 3, that is a good finish. And the 73, which will send him home a
:58:35. > :58:43.little happier. No one else has even sniffed getting that part
:58:43. > :58:47.correct. Good on him. No one likes to see people implode and have a
:58:47. > :58:57.terrible day when they are in contention in any tournament, let
:58:57. > :59:33.
:59:33. > :59:39.alone a Major Championship. Don't one dropped shot. And he will be
:59:39. > :59:41.with Graeme McDowell tomorrow. The final pairing. Absolutely. Adam
:59:41. > :59:48.Scott and Graeme McDowell in the final grouping, and Snedeker and
:59:48. > :59:58.Tiger Woods will be the match in front. That promise is much. That

:00:21. > :00:26.Pagoda, call it what you want. Just a shed, really, but great work is
:00:26. > :00:30.done is there. I wonder what Steve Williams the caddy makes of it all.
:00:30. > :00:36.He has been their 13 or 14 times with Tiger, then they had a rather
:00:37. > :00:46.bitter divorce. Now he is on the threshold of winning with younger

:00:53. > :01:02.of tricks of the trade. Bits of good luck. -- what a day it has
:01:03. > :01:02.
:01:03. > :01:07.been. Some needing a shave, some calling it designer stubble. The
:01:07. > :01:11.caddies, who can fill books and books with all sorts of notes,
:01:11. > :01:21.which way the wind blows, which way the green is running. Where will we
:01:21. > :01:25.go for dinner tonight? And it all happens on 150 acres of marvellous
:01:25. > :01:29.land. The only thing leasing -- missing from the leaderboard is a
:01:29. > :01:34.few more home runners. Graeme McDowell is carrying the flag and
:01:34. > :01:44.I'm sure he will carry it with great distinction and panache, and
:01:44. > :01:47.
:01:47. > :01:57.Cities movement you want on a Saturday at any Major -- IFE 80s
:01:57. > :02:01.
:02:01. > :02:05.movement you want on a Saturday at We hope you have enjoyed the
:02:05. > :02:15.coverage this afternoon. Absolutely absorbing. A fighting finish from
:02:15. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:28.Brandt Snedeker. Not often you see Tiger Woods starting with two
:02:28. > :02:30.
:02:30. > :02:39.par. Zack Johnson with the best round of the day. And an
:02:39. > :02:45.adventurous round from Olesen. 10 shots back. It has been done before,
:02:45. > :02:49.most recently and 99 with Paul Lawrie. And Mark Calcavecchia, 52,
:02:49. > :02:53.the man who won it at Troon 23 years ago and had everybody
:02:53. > :03:03.chuckling with delight at some of his play earlier. Steve Strichen,
:03:03. > :03:06.
:03:06. > :03:09.so much expected of him in the last few Majors but he's in that group.
:03:09. > :03:15.Keegan Bradley, his debut Open Championship. As he said in his
:03:15. > :03:25.interview he has played in all of them now. He has got a taste for
:03:25. > :03:25.
:03:25. > :04:58.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 57 seconds
:04:58. > :05:07.them. Paul Lawrie, 76 today. A the round and 11-under par for the
:05:07. > :05:13.Championship. That is not a million miles away. Diarmaid. -- deer me.
:05:13. > :05:22.So they a first dropped shot for Adam Scott. I a good aggressive
:05:22. > :05:27.Ken and Wayne have joined me in the studio part of the trailer. 21
:05:27. > :05:35.years since Ian Baker-Finch won the opener for Australia. A long time
:05:35. > :05:41.coming. We did have one other in 1993, the shark. And all from
:05:41. > :05:45.Queensland, they you go. Fair enough. But in terms of becoming
:05:45. > :05:51.the 4th was the to win this Open Championship it was a round of
:05:51. > :05:57.composure and control and great quality today. It certainly was. It
:05:57. > :06:02.was quite composed. He played well. He didn't do that much earlier. The
:06:03. > :06:07.first six are playing so much difficult and Bente Brandt Snedeker
:06:07. > :06:15.led to his own downfall of with his poor play. All in all Adam Scott
:06:15. > :06:18.took the day by the scruff of her neck and has come out in the lead.
:06:18. > :06:25.Pretty compose to begin with, then the fireworks began. -- pretty
:06:25. > :06:32.composed. So far he has made birdie are all of the par-fives and this
:06:32. > :06:38.This was coming in at the landed nice and softly. Almost exactly
:06:38. > :06:43.where he was a minute. He has taken his caddy and his twirl with the
:06:43. > :06:51.club. Has he taken his mentality? There has been talk through the
:06:51. > :06:55.afternoon that he has lacked a killer instinct. Steve is a great
:06:55. > :07:00.person to have on the back for Adam, but he is making some parts with a
:07:00. > :07:08.long putter. At 32 years old, he is in that time when he needs to
:07:08. > :07:13.strike. The first time I saw him was at the Lakes when he made a 63
:07:13. > :07:17.as an amateur. He has always had a wonderful swing. That was a bad
:07:17. > :07:23.mistake. He had a four-shot lead and he put it into the right-hand
:07:23. > :07:28.bunker. A lot of room on the left, and I know it is easy to say, but
:07:28. > :07:33.this kept everything going. Down the slope, never easy. Just enough
:07:33. > :07:40.to find the bottom of the cup and that kept the momentum on the round.
:07:40. > :07:48.What about this? This was unbelievable. Peter called it a
:07:48. > :07:51.shot of divine ferocity. Me and Brownie don't have those words.
:07:51. > :07:57.has been doing this all week. His putting has been solid, but this is
:07:57. > :08:02.a part of his game there has been so impressive. He has made heavy on
:08:02. > :08:06.the par-five holes. Having struggled for a couple of years, he
:08:06. > :08:11.has hit the ball well. If you do not make your putts, the game can
:08:11. > :08:18.drag you down. Suddenly he has found something and is making the
:08:18. > :08:22.10 footers. You can make as many good shots as you have been able to,
:08:22. > :08:26.but if you do not sink the putt, you wonder what you can do. Well he
:08:26. > :08:31.be able to handle the windier conditions? In eight previous
:08:31. > :08:39.attempts his best has been tied for 8th. Very coastal conditions even
:08:39. > :08:45.back then. -- very still conditions. But he won at New South Wales golf
:08:45. > :08:50.club where it blows dogs off their chains, so he can handle the wind!
:08:50. > :08:57.Kenny, we were talking with Wayne about the lack of all the winners.
:08:57. > :09:00.There has been so much dominance in PGA Tour by Australians that
:09:00. > :09:06.success in Major championships has been rather sparse in the last
:09:06. > :09:09.fears. Surprisingly, because they have had a lot of wonderful players.
:09:09. > :09:14.Peter Thompson was such a marvellous player but winning
:09:14. > :09:19.Majors is extremely difficult. You have to have your top game, good
:09:20. > :09:24.nerve and make the putts at the right time. There have been many
:09:24. > :09:29.good enough to win Majors who haven't managed to do it. You need
:09:29. > :09:34.a bit of inspiration, and my mate here had it at the right time.
:09:34. > :09:43.just got lucky. The you don't get lucky with Majors. I was saying and
:09:43. > :09:48.it was a big student of the game Greg took him under his wing a long
:09:49. > :09:57.time ago and helped him out. I know that Adam appreciated that. Let's
:09:57. > :10:00.hear from Adam. He is about to talk Wayne Grady was talking about the
:10:00. > :10:06.position you find yourself in and it must be a wonderful feeling to
:10:06. > :10:12.beat the Open champion of the moment by four strokes. Fee ingrate
:10:12. > :10:15.right now. I was feeling solid out their -- feeling great right now.
:10:15. > :10:19.You didn't seem to be fazed by the situation, because despite your
:10:19. > :10:24.success, this is uncharted territory, playing in the final
:10:24. > :10:28.group of a Major. Absolutely. I've never done that before. I was
:10:28. > :10:32.really excited for the weekend, especially today coming out to see
:10:32. > :10:37.what would happen. We had good conditions, so I had to make the
:10:37. > :10:42.most of them. Steve Williams is on the back. He seems to have made a
:10:42. > :10:50.difference to you. Is it very much a team effort these days?
:10:50. > :10:54.slowly. It is with every player and caddy -- absolutely. We are working
:10:54. > :10:59.well and we think we are on the same page, which makes life easier
:10:59. > :11:03.on the golf course. He has been a great motivator up for me.
:11:03. > :11:07.prospect of some windier weather tomorrow. Are you looking forward
:11:07. > :11:13.to more challenging conditions? The more be brand new for everybody in
:11:13. > :11:18.competition this week. -- eat will be brand new. I am looking forward
:11:18. > :11:22.to tomorrow whatever. It is a great position and I have worked hard for
:11:22. > :11:25.it. I am very excited about teeing off late tomorrow and hopefully
:11:25. > :11:29.playing a good round of golf that will make it hard for the other
:11:29. > :11:33.guys. And you have to try and switch off for the next 18 hours,
:11:33. > :11:39.forget about Peter Thompson's proud record in this Championship and
:11:39. > :11:43.Greg Norman's Open win. Somehow you do. It's almost impossible not to
:11:43. > :11:48.think about playing tomorrow, but I will try to do all the same things
:11:49. > :11:53.I normally do. I have been a leader in tournaments before, not the open,
:11:53. > :11:58.but you have to treated somewhat the same and I will do my usual
:11:58. > :12:06.routine -- treat it somewhat the same. We are looking forward to it
:12:06. > :12:12.and we wish you the best of luck Adam has never led going into the
:12:12. > :12:16.final round of the Majors, and you know how different the experience
:12:16. > :12:20.will be. It is very difficult and different. He has to think about
:12:21. > :12:24.his round tomorrow and the process he needs to go through, trying to
:12:24. > :12:28.do everything the same and getting out and playing on the golf course
:12:28. > :12:34.the way he has. What he can't think about is the end result and what it
:12:34. > :12:38.will be like to do this until it happens. That is probably the most
:12:38. > :12:43.difficult thing about winning a Championship. It is at that point,
:12:43. > :12:47.under the pressure of the last day, that it asks the questions of your
:12:47. > :12:53.swing and whether it will hold up under the pressure. I know it is a
:12:53. > :12:57.swing it you love. It is a joy to watch. Everything about it is set
:12:57. > :13:01.up, the posture, the rhythm, the delivery, all spot on. You cannot
:13:01. > :13:06.do better than Adams got and we have thought that for years. Nobody
:13:06. > :13:10.swings it better than that. It is classical, beautiful and powerful.
:13:10. > :13:14.Let's see how it holds up tomorrow because there are a posse of
:13:15. > :13:24.players on his tail. One of them a certain Tiger Woods, but from his
:13:25. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :13:42.perspective, 6-under par, as you two in three holes. He is having to
:13:42. > :14:19.
:14:19. > :14:25.Tiger, around of 70 and you found the greens more perplexing and the
:14:25. > :14:31.first couple of rounds. Yesterday and today they had some tough flag
:14:31. > :14:36.positions and tricky spots. They were actually on slopes or on top
:14:36. > :14:41.of the knobs. There were a few that were towards the bottom and on the
:14:41. > :14:45.flat spots, but I just found it a little more difficult for some
:14:45. > :14:49.reason today. Then there was the monster that you made on the 6th,
:14:49. > :14:56.which you needed after the disappointing start. No, not a very
:14:56. > :15:00.good start. I figured if I could just get through the front nine at
:15:00. > :15:10.1-over par, even for the day, I would be fine. It just so happened
:15:10. > :15:11.
:15:11. > :15:17.You're deadly when you're in front of sharing the lead. How do you
:15:17. > :15:23.read your position? Iron five back, right now. I have to close them
:15:23. > :15:28.down tomorrow. Adam has a four-shot lead. He's sitting well. A lot of
:15:28. > :15:33.it depends on what he does. A either case, I have to execute my
:15:33. > :15:37.game plan and be myself there. know you don't greater weather
:15:37. > :15:42.forecasts, but... There awful! have been saying all week that it
:15:42. > :15:46.is going to blow tomorrow afternoon. That will add an extra dimension
:15:46. > :15:52.for us. What you're welcome an accurate weather forecasts? They
:15:52. > :16:00.have said in 70% chance of rain every day here, and has not rained.
:16:00. > :16:07.We'll see. Do you need some wind, D thing? Whatever it is, it is. I
:16:07. > :16:11.still have to execute my game plan. We wish you well. Thank you.
:16:11. > :16:20.Jason Dufner said we should throw our weather forecasts it's in the
:16:20. > :16:25.trash. Historically speaking, when Tiger Woods has had to chase a
:16:25. > :16:32.major, he has been less successful than when he has run from the front.
:16:32. > :16:37.That is an amazing stat. I think the players would like a little bit
:16:37. > :16:46.of breeze. He need enough out there to work the ball. You don't want so
:16:46. > :16:50.much that it becomes a lottery. 15 or 25 miles an hour would be nice.
:16:50. > :16:57.It is not a course where you want to push too hard. Adam Scott said
:16:57. > :17:00.that before he went out. You cannot take too many risks. There are only
:17:00. > :17:05.the two par fives that offer anything if you want to have a go
:17:05. > :17:09.at them. Otherwise, you have to graft. Tiger did well dropping two
:17:09. > :17:19.strokes early on and making a wonderful comeback. That began at
:17:19. > :17:25.
:17:25. > :17:33.charge. I thought it was then all the way. Somehow, Ed stayed out. It
:17:33. > :17:38.was a sticky start. He took three to get down. He was trying to
:17:38. > :17:45.regain his momentum. This was the monster putt. I didn't see this, I
:17:45. > :17:52.didn't realise he had made this. He would take those any time you can.
:17:52. > :17:57.Especially a number six. He hit a good tee shot at the 7th. This was
:17:57. > :18:04.all one. Look at this scuttle on to the green. He says he can't play it
:18:04. > :18:09.along the ground? Nick Faldo was goading him to take the driver.
:18:09. > :18:15.was unlucky with that triple over the back. That can happen. In two
:18:15. > :18:21.holes, he got himself back on the rails. At this point, we were
:18:21. > :18:27.getting excited about the prospect of appearing with Adam Scott, with
:18:27. > :18:33.Steve Williams being Adam's caddie. I don't care whether they play
:18:33. > :18:40.together or not. That was a fantastic shot from Tiger Woods. I
:18:40. > :18:46.thought his distance control today was not Tiger. If you're going to
:18:46. > :18:54.hit it 30 feet long, you may as well be that far wide. Distance
:18:54. > :19:01.control was the most important The flags were in an awkward
:19:01. > :19:05.position today. If we get some wind, the might Alter the sum of all flag
:19:05. > :19:10.positions. They cannot afford to have the greens over 11 tomorrow.
:19:10. > :19:15.Her idea fancy his chances of landing this elusive 15th major?
:19:15. > :19:20.has a good chance. The way Adam Scott is playing, someone will have
:19:20. > :19:23.to take it from him. Tiger was in a position at the US Open just a few
:19:23. > :19:27.weeks ago and did not fare too well on Sunday. Even though he has won
:19:27. > :19:33.three times this year, there are a few questions about total control
:19:34. > :19:39.of his game. The crowds out there? The have supported him all the way.
:19:39. > :19:45.You do not know what he's going to do next. This one bore witness to
:19:45. > :19:48.it at the 18th. He is a golfing genius. You're watching one of the
:19:48. > :19:53.very best golfers that has ever what the planet. It is exciting to
:19:53. > :20:00.watch him play. He has got all the shots. He always has a huge gallery
:20:00. > :20:04.following him. Sometimes you think, how do you do that? Most players
:20:04. > :20:11.haven't got that strength to hit that law shot. For all the
:20:11. > :20:16.successes we saw today, there was also some disappointment. Brandt
:20:16. > :20:20.Snedecker had not made a bogey or been in a bunker for two and third
:20:20. > :20:24.rounds. When it comes to bogeys, they're a bit like buses. He
:20:24. > :20:34.weighed two and a quarter round, and then five come along in seven
:20:34. > :20:41.
:20:41. > :20:49.Snedecker. You has been very solid over the opening five holes. Just
:20:49. > :20:55.keep his round going. Brandt Snedecker has avoided all bunkers
:20:55. > :20:58.so far this week, to this.. This does not look as if it will be a
:20:58. > :21:05.happy experience in the bunker. Another one goes for Brandt
:21:05. > :21:11.Snedecker. That is not the place to be. A one-shot lead at the start
:21:11. > :21:21.and he is now four adrift of Adam Scott. Another one goes for Brandt
:21:21. > :21:24.
:21:24. > :21:27.A birdie at the last certainly salvage the situation. Only 70 of
:21:28. > :21:32.the last 44 halfway leaders have won the Open Championship. Brandt
:21:32. > :21:41.Snedecker has given himself an awful lot to do. What accounted for
:21:41. > :21:45.his lapse today? It is pressure. That is what it is. It is an
:21:45. > :21:53.amazing thing. You get just on the wrong side everything, you roll
:21:53. > :21:56.this we instead of that way, it just seems to mount. You cannot
:21:56. > :22:02.stop it. I thought he did wonderfully to come back at the end,
:22:02. > :22:06.make a couple of birdies and he's back in contention. One or two
:22:06. > :22:13.whist tee shots early on. He let one or two drop around the turn.
:22:13. > :22:16.That is put him under pressure. He had to battle where the end.
:22:16. > :22:20.fact that it was a record-equalling performance in the first couple of
:22:20. > :22:23.days, no bogeys are no bunkers, he had put himself under pressure.
:22:23. > :22:28.try not to think about those things and then someone brings it up and
:22:28. > :22:38.starts talking about it. And you think, goodness me! This was his
:22:38. > :22:39.
:22:39. > :22:48.Snedecker, I hope you're not watching! He does everything quite
:22:48. > :22:57.fast. Sometimes you're just unlucky. When you're right tight up against
:22:57. > :23:01.the face, that was put in play. practise. This shows about where he
:23:01. > :23:08.was at that time. The mind was a bit frazzled. You just cannot miss
:23:08. > :23:12.it here. You have to be left of the flag. That was a poor shot. When
:23:12. > :23:17.this is happening, and the world is unravelling, what is your brain
:23:17. > :23:21.saying to you? You are not in control of anything. Your body is
:23:21. > :23:26.doing its own thing. We have all been there, we have all done it.
:23:26. > :23:31.What a bad shot. It is not a good feeling. How do you turn it around
:23:31. > :23:36.and manufacturer finish like this? Lot of times you don't. This is the
:23:36. > :23:42.great thing that he did today. He had a lovely finish and he deserved
:23:42. > :23:48.it. Your mind can get fast when you're under extra pressure. You
:23:48. > :23:52.have got to slow down that fraction. What a nice way to finish. He's not
:23:52. > :23:57.out of it. He is four shots behind. There is every chance, without that
:23:57. > :24:06.pressure of leading, as he will respond accordingly. The pressure
:24:06. > :24:11.It is easier to hand then be hunted. I would still rather be in Adam
:24:12. > :24:16.Scott's position. He's not out of it at all. Graham McDowell isn't
:24:16. > :24:21.either. He was being cheered to the echo all the way around. He had
:24:21. > :24:26.that bogey at the second. He was trading bogeys and birdies to the
:24:26. > :24:33.front nine. Thereafter, wonderful work at the 13th, 14th and then the
:24:33. > :24:37.17th. He goes into the final round in the final pairing for the second
:24:37. > :24:45.major Championship in a row. He was in that situation at the US Open a
:24:46. > :24:52.few short weeks ago. This was his reaction.
:24:52. > :24:58.That was a sparkling round of golf. Toppers to it. That was a good one.
:24:58. > :25:02.The first six or seven holes, I felt the tournament sloping away
:25:02. > :25:11.from the little bit. I wasn't getting out of the blocks fast
:25:11. > :25:16.enough. The first six or seven also pretty tough. Pars is a good score.
:25:16. > :25:21.When you want to make some birdies, he had to dig deeper for the
:25:21. > :25:25.patients that I needed to have. A birdie at eight really steadied the
:25:25. > :25:29.ship. I am proud of the way I played from the 14th to the end. I
:25:29. > :25:35.hit a lot of quality golf shot. Once you got through those first
:25:35. > :25:41.few holes, did you feel the mental strength coming back? If you think,
:25:41. > :25:47.I can do this and then push on through the back now in? -- through
:25:47. > :25:50.the back nine? Yes. After 14, I felt I was ready to go. The golf
:25:50. > :25:55.swing was where I wanted to be in the head was where I wanted to be.
:25:55. > :25:58.I felt ready to play and I enjoyed the last five or six holes.
:25:58. > :26:01.Hopefully, I'll be in the last group tomorrow with Adam Scott and
:26:01. > :26:07.I will be looking the guy in the eye that I need to be looking in
:26:07. > :26:10.the eye, really. Since I have been a young boy, I have dreamed of
:26:10. > :26:17.playing well and the Open Championship. I have talked about
:26:17. > :26:21.it all week, all I can expect to do is content. I have a chance now.
:26:21. > :26:26.That must be a pleasing feeling. We told before and you said, I just
:26:26. > :26:31.want to get in that final group. It looks like he will be. It is nice.
:26:31. > :26:41.It is nice to go out there and hang tough when I needed to hang tough.
:26:41. > :26:45.
:26:45. > :26:52.I had some quality shot. What have people asking about the clothing.
:26:52. > :26:59.What have you got line-up tomorrow? When I won the US Open, I had a bit
:26:59. > :27:04.of pink and a cardigan. Congratulations on a wonderful 67.
:27:04. > :27:11.All the best. Thank you. He is rocking a cardigan tomorrow,
:27:11. > :27:16.is he? It is a real knack, being able to save your best for the
:27:17. > :27:22.major championships. Since winning the US Open, he seems to be able to
:27:22. > :27:25.do that. So relaxed about it. has embraced the fact that he likes
:27:25. > :27:32.the heat of the battle in major championships. A lot of people
:27:32. > :27:35.don't get that chance. He has had a few goes at it now and good luck to
:27:35. > :27:44.him. That is what it is all about. That is what everyone practises
:27:44. > :27:49.four. That is exactly the point. A he said to me, the other day, it is
:27:49. > :27:54.like a roller coaster. It is a bit scary, but it is fun and you want a
:27:54. > :27:58.bit more of it. It is a positive frame of mind to take into the last
:27:58. > :28:03.day of a major. Absolutely. You have to be looking to take on the
:28:03. > :28:07.challenge, particularly if it is a windy day. Success lead to success.
:28:07. > :28:14.He has always been a confident player. He went to college in
:28:14. > :28:20.America. He has come from that sort of situation. It was a brilliant
:28:20. > :28:30.back nine today. He pushed himself into real contention. He did. Let's
:28:30. > :28:34.
:28:35. > :28:44.The putter was working. All dressed in lilac. He can wield his putter,
:28:45. > :28:45.
:28:45. > :28:52.County? He has a hot putter. This was the hole he turned it round on.
:28:52. > :29:00.He said this high, spinning one in. That was a glorious iron shot. Very
:29:00. > :29:04.hard to get it that close. He then made a putt. The crowd were really
:29:04. > :29:14.getting a sense that something was happening here. This was the 13th
:29:14. > :29:15.
:29:15. > :29:22.hole. Fantastic. For a home player, there is nothing quite like it if
:29:22. > :29:29.the crowd is behind you. It gives you that sort of search. And it is
:29:29. > :29:37.amazing to think, Wayne, but we may be talking about a third Northern
:29:37. > :29:41.Irish victory in as many years. is incredible, really. Absolutely.
:29:41. > :29:50.The run they have had recently. He also have the amateur champion as
:29:50. > :29:54.well. There producing some players, aren't they? They are. When you
:29:54. > :29:59.think back to the near miss in the US Open, what will he take from
:29:59. > :30:04.that experience and using a positive way? At the Olympic club,
:30:04. > :30:12.he said, I did not drive very well. He missed a couple of fairways. If
:30:12. > :30:17.you do that at the US Open, you run all sorts of trouble. If the wind
:30:17. > :30:24.blows, you have to be spot-on. If he drives well, he will give
:30:24. > :30:32.himself a very good chance. But you have to make a few putts. It is a
:30:33. > :30:39.day you have to be in complete He is hoping to emulate some great
:30:39. > :30:45.players. One of them, Gary Player, in 1974, became only the second man
:30:45. > :30:51.to win the Open Championship in three different decades. Dan Walker
:30:51. > :30:56.spoke to him earlier. We're by the side of the 18th green
:30:56. > :31:00.with, I might have to salute you, one of the legends of the game.
:31:00. > :31:05.Gary Player. Three Open championships, including the one
:31:05. > :31:09.here in 1974. Before the top where the famous shot that took place
:31:09. > :31:14.right here, what else do you remember about that Championship?
:31:14. > :31:21.wanted to try and be there first person to win in three decades. I
:31:21. > :31:25.have always spoken about staying fit and exercises and diet, and I
:31:25. > :31:29.always wanted to do that over three decades, and I wanted to win on a
:31:29. > :31:35.golf course like 11. The Open Championship was my favourite
:31:35. > :31:40.tournament. It meant so much to me. Major championships, everyone is
:31:40. > :31:49.trying to win them. To end up the way I did... Doctors to read.
:31:49. > :31:54.a six shot lead with two holes to play. I can lose. What a feeling. I
:31:54. > :32:00.said to my American caddie, who was six foot three. He said, Ray
:32:00. > :32:10.Charles could win from here. I don't want to put it in one of
:32:10. > :32:18.
:32:18. > :32:28.these bunkers. It didn't really ladies' locker room. Courageous,
:32:28. > :32:28.
:32:28. > :32:33.I put it over here. This, at that stage, was sand. It was a flower
:32:33. > :32:39.garden. I could not play it because I was against the wall. I turned my
:32:39. > :32:48.putter round backwards. There will these members having a drink and
:32:48. > :32:52.the RFU drops a my head. This is exactly where the ball was. I said,

:33:07. > :33:13.window and said, good luck! I stand there and I just said, as you can
:33:13. > :33:20.see. Simple as that. I'm only 10 feet from a all. You're quite a
:33:20. > :33:26.good actor as well as a golfer. bank manager would not let me
:33:26. > :33:32.forget it! It was quite a thrill. Shot after shot, I was saying, I
:33:32. > :33:36.played at Carnoustie, one I won in 1968, and I was playing with Jack
:33:36. > :33:45.Nicklaus, and I had them by one shot. There were four up -- there
:33:45. > :33:55.were four others within one shot. I put it so far from the hole. I had
:33:55. > :33:55.
:33:55. > :33:59.a two-shot lead over Jack Nicklaus. I did not do I Jean Van De Velde.
:33:59. > :34:07.That was a tragedy what happened there, his thinking was. These kind
:34:07. > :34:13.of things happen. You do not get a second chance. I played in the Open,
:34:13. > :34:17.over 46 times. I have been here every year since 1955. As long as I
:34:17. > :34:22.can walk, I am going to come back here. I have a sense of
:34:22. > :34:27.appreciation. Gratitude in my life is a very good thing. I keep in
:34:27. > :34:35.shape. I and 77... Last time I saw you,The punch you in the stomach.

:34:46. > :34:52.pleasure talking tee. Thank you very much.
:34:52. > :34:58.Never, ever pick a fight with Gary Player. You remember that very
:34:58. > :35:02.well? Reasonably. He had a great short game that week. The course
:35:02. > :35:07.was playing very fast. He had a one iron, which the course was -- which
:35:07. > :35:11.he was playing off every tee. He was hitting it in some very
:35:11. > :35:17.interesting spot. He had planned his way round, like Tiger. His
:35:17. > :35:21.putting, as ever, was wonderful. I remember he lost the ball at the
:35:21. > :35:24.17th. They rummaged around. He had a six-shot lead in the found the
:35:24. > :35:34.ball. Even though he was cruising, it wasn't a complete cruise by any
:35:34. > :35:39.
:35:39. > :35:46.means. It was the one and only, Seve
:35:46. > :35:56.Ballesteros. Ballesteros, you almost begged him to play a shot
:35:56. > :36:05.
:36:05. > :36:15.running and jumping. Oh, yes! like using the parking lot. Yet,
:36:15. > :36:29.
:36:29. > :36:39.right up against the cars here. -- incredible man. Very easy to not
:36:39. > :36:47.quite do enough here. How do you like that, Seve Ballesteros? In she
:36:47. > :36:57.goes! He is once more the champion. I would just like to say it but I

:37:02. > :37:05.and his triumph at St Andrews in 1984 in between, but an amazing
:37:05. > :37:09.character and they unveiled a beautiful portrait of him in the
:37:09. > :37:15.clubhouse this week and you cannot come here without feeling his of
:37:15. > :37:19.fibre around here. He is so entrenched that the club. 1979 was
:37:19. > :37:25.my first Open when he won his and I remember everything about it. It
:37:25. > :37:29.was just amazing. He was so charismatic. He just made you want
:37:29. > :37:35.to play golf. He was one of the few people I would have paid money to
:37:35. > :37:40.go and watch play golf. And that battle with Nick Price in 1988,
:37:40. > :37:44.when he shot a 65 to win it. brilliant performance. I played
:37:44. > :37:51.with Lee Trevino in 1979, and if you had analysed his round, you
:37:51. > :37:56.would have thought he could not break 75. He stood on the 6th tee
:37:56. > :38:01.and hit it down the 14th fairway, 100 yards off line. But he got it
:38:01. > :38:07.on the green and we get it down in two from different spots.
:38:07. > :38:12.totally defied convention. remember people shaking their heads
:38:12. > :38:16.in 1979. But he was just a genius. He reckoned they should not be any
:38:16. > :38:21.fairways in golf. Hale Irwin was waving the white hankie by the end.
:38:21. > :38:25.I am that little pitch she played on the side of the green in 98 --
:38:25. > :38:31.that little pitch he played on the side of the green in 1988. It was
:38:31. > :38:39.an artist dropping the ball, nearly getting it in a hole. You have to
:38:39. > :38:41.be a Picasso with a club to do that. I like that. Let's see if anyone
:38:41. > :38:48.can follow in his manner tomorrow. Back to business and this year's
:38:48. > :38:52.Open, and one man who played with a cavalier spirit is Thorbjorn Olesen.
:38:52. > :38:56.This was a very game round from the man from Denmark. The 22-year-old,
:38:57. > :39:02.the youngest Danish player to win on the European Tour following the
:39:02. > :39:06.likes of Thomas Bjorn and others. His father was here today, and I'm
:39:06. > :39:15.sure he was very proud of his boy today. We caught up with both of
:39:15. > :39:18.them. We are here alongside the 18th green with the Olesen family.
:39:18. > :39:23.What was that like to date with the huge galleries and playing with
:39:23. > :39:30.Tiger Woods? It was amazing. A great experience today. It has been
:39:30. > :39:33.a dream for a long time and I really enjoyed it today. I tried to
:39:33. > :39:38.buy my own game, but it was definitely difficult. I had to
:39:39. > :39:43.watch him a little because he has been my idol for so long. But I
:39:43. > :39:47.really enjoyed it. It must have been a proud moment as a father.
:39:47. > :39:53.You still seem to be smiling. fantastic. A fantastic experience
:39:54. > :40:00.for him. Playing with Tiger were this is one thing. But to be in
:40:00. > :40:05.contention for a Major in the Open Championship, you seemed at ease.
:40:05. > :40:07.was quite nervous for the first three or four holes but then I hit
:40:08. > :40:13.some good shots and got some confidence. Unfortunately I made
:40:13. > :40:16.some bad mistakes and that cost us a few shots but I played well
:40:16. > :40:20.overall and gave myself some chances. I could have made some
:40:20. > :40:24.more putts but it was a good round. Do you agree with that assessment?
:40:24. > :40:29.I think he is right in what he is saying. Do you think he has a
:40:29. > :40:34.chance tomorrow? By think he will be very good tomorrow, I am sure.
:40:34. > :40:40.What gives you the confidence? really don't know. Just something
:40:40. > :40:44.in the genes. A I think so. Your dad was also same you did not meet
:40:44. > :40:51.Tiger Woods until the first tee. You nearly went up to him on the
:40:51. > :40:55.driving range but you were too shy. Yes, maybe that is true. Obviously
:40:55. > :41:01.he is the greatest player that has played the game, in my opinion, so
:41:01. > :41:07.I was very nervous to say hello to him. But after we got off the first
:41:07. > :41:11.tee we had a lot of fun. He is a great player. I know you worry beat
:41:11. > :41:18.Manchester United player at -- Manchester United fan. Carlos Tevez
:41:18. > :41:26.was watching you today. I didn't know that. Have a great day
:41:26. > :41:31.206 bunkers on this course, and he gave us a masterclass. You will all
:41:31. > :41:36.marvelling at this. He got down it at six when he looked like it would
:41:36. > :41:40.get away from him. The bank is 8 ft high and he has to move the ball
:41:40. > :41:44.forward at 35 yards and that was one of the shots of the day. Easy
:41:44. > :41:48.enough to get it out the hard to get the momentum. That was a
:41:48. > :41:51.fantastic shot. That was one of the talking points before play got
:41:51. > :42:00.under way, how soggy many of the bunkers had been and there was
:42:00. > :42:04.still some surface water. But do you feel that in the end that the
:42:04. > :42:09.equilibrium was reached. Was it fair in the end? It is not perfect
:42:09. > :42:13.but we have come to expect everything should be. I know why
:42:13. > :42:17.don't play any more, so it's a little easier to be objective, but
:42:18. > :42:22.I thought it was fine. Some of the bunkers were dried out. The bunker
:42:22. > :42:28.Tiger Woods was in was perfectly dry but then he got to 17 m they
:42:28. > :42:35.were heavy. Scott and Snedeker played wonderful shots on the sand
:42:35. > :42:41.on 17. 0 a real lesson for all of us. And in terms of someone who is
:42:41. > :42:46.not a hacker, the world No. 1, Luke Donald. An up-and-down day for him.
:42:46. > :42:50.Beginning well with a birdie at the third, but he would settle for a 71
:42:50. > :42:55.at the end and he is 1-under par for the championships. 10 shots
:42:55. > :43:01.back. It has been done, but perhaps not his year but I'm sure he still
:43:01. > :43:07.thinks positively. But it is a lot to do. Absolutely. 10 shots. It
:43:07. > :43:12.doesn't happen unless someone helps you out. But I would say he is too
:43:12. > :43:16.far back. I would say 4-under par is around the spot. If it doesn't
:43:16. > :43:20.blow though, then it hasn't got a chance. He has been moving day and
:43:20. > :43:25.there has been plenty of that. Dan has been reflecting on it. -- it
:43:25. > :43:29.has been moving day. Day number three at the Open and the weather
:43:29. > :43:34.has been lovely, but the golf took a while to get going. Let's talk
:43:34. > :43:42.about the local lads. A largely miserable day for him, him, and
:43:42. > :43:50.even him. Luke Donald is the leading Englishman who used to
:43:50. > :44:00.force only in parts and is a long way off the leaders. Animals have -

:44:00. > :44:10.- these have animal's name that do Hold on, a big face coming.

:44:18. > :44:22.quite tough to do. Look at those claw marks. Sir one should help
:44:22. > :44:29.that man. There were high hopes for Bubba Watson. He was swinging like
:44:30. > :44:35.a warrior. Yes, his 5th of the day. By it after an early flourish there
:44:35. > :44:42.was a dirty double at 15 -- but after. Let me introduce you to some

:45:23. > :45:25.are working wonders. Look through the tunnel of doom, the man in pink,
:45:25. > :45:29.top of the leaderboard, the man in the diamonds, the nearest
:45:29. > :45:35.challenger. It was not long until the nearest challenger moved
:45:35. > :45:41.centre-stage. Another one goes for Snedeker. Nerves of steel,
:45:41. > :45:47.Australian grit? This year Scott seems to have the lot. The easy is
:45:47. > :45:51.swinging easy and tucked in well. And Olesen remains in contention.
:45:51. > :45:54.This great old golf course has provided proper drama over the last
:45:54. > :46:00.three days. If Thursday, Friday and Saturday are anything to go by,
:46:00. > :46:05.Sunday should be special. It should indeed, and we will be on the air
