The eyes of the golfing world are on him. He is a powerful, accurate | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
genius. Can he do it? Of course it can be read! | :00:38. | :01:05. | |
Here we go. He is on a roll. He is dangerous. Fantastic shot. | :01:06. | :01:15. | |
Absolutely brilliant shot. Top quality. That is his shot of the | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
day. Watch out, everyone else. Absolutely fantastic. That is a gem. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Very impressive. My goodness. Lovely! | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
Good morning. It is the final day of the Championship here at Hoylake. | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
The Claret jug is gleaming and the engraver is on stand-by. For many, | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
it is the name of Rory McIlroy that will be etched onto this. He has a | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
six shot lead, one of the largest ever going into a final round of and | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
Open Championship. Will it be in his clutches by the end of the day? | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
Rickie Fowler is the closest, but if there will be a hot pursuit, it is | :02:13. | :02:23. | |
most likely to come from the likes of Sergio Garcia, Edoardo Molinari, | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Dustin Johnson or Victor Dubuisson, the only players within nine shots | :02:29. | :02:29. | |
of him. Sport is a funny thing. You just | :02:30. | :02:44. | |
never No. That is why we will be glued to the coverage all day today | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
until the claret jug is one at about 6:30pm. I hope you will share the | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
day with a sea on BBC One as well. We go now out onto the famous | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
links. It is a delight to see blue skies | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
and an amazingly dry course. We were very lucky yesterday. Play had just | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
ended when the rain came down on and, oily, did it come down! This | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
area is amazingly dry when you think of some of the scenes at | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Championships over the last 20 or 30 years when it has rained, I am | :03:29. | :03:38. | |
thinking of times when it has gone on to Monday play. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
thinking of times when it has gone shirtsleeved order amongst the crowd | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
sea. I am in the box with Andrew Cotter, he is relieved that the sun | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
is shining. Heat haze, look at that! The breeze has shifted round | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
today. It is North north-westerly today. It has been South | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
southeasterly when today. It is North north-westerly | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
today. It it has blown in the first three days. North West is not a | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
usual wind here. It is only 180 acres, this little corner. It almost | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
looks it has been ruled out with a ruler, with a road down to the sea | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
and some beautiful houses. The helicopter is on duty. | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
A fascinating corner of England, the Wirral, and there are dozens of | :04:36. | :04:47. | |
those wind turbines are stacked out there. Tiger Woods, his trials and | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
tribulations continue. He was out in 36 with a double bogey at the 7th. | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
After the rain yesterday, the rough was very tenderly down the bottom | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
end, thick and matted. It is a morbid fascination, watching Tiger | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
Woods. He is still very rusty and has not been back playing for long. | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
He was playing at the Congressional a couple of weeks ago, and a lot of | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
people were expecting great things here, but I think this shot masked a | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
few of the serious flaws that are still there. He took his glove off | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
for that shot to give him some more feel, but he did not want to feel, | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
he wanted thumper. I find it extraordinary to think it | :05:41. | :05:51. | |
is the case, but it would appear I find it extraordinary to think it | :05:52. | :06:02. | |
that he is muddled. We knew he might struggle with his driver if he was | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
forced to take it out, but he took the decision to be more aggressive | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
on the second day. The 17th hole, it went miles out of bounds. He really | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
had to scramble to make the cut. Luke Donald, he has been treading | :06:25. | :06:35. | |
water over the last season or two. World's number one for a period. | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
Another player who has been at the top but decided to change things a | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
bit. He left his coach for the long game. He is trying to take a bit of | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
his hand out of it. Wide? That is what intrigues me. You are winning | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
tournaments. He was making the most of his talents, and then he took it | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
to pieces. Tiger Woods finishing off, hopefully. In she goes. | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
Part here, 72. First match, 18th hole. I mentioned Jason Dufner | :07:18. | :07:35. | |
moment ago. What a second shot he has hit here, and this is for an | :07:36. | :07:36. | |
eagle. Jason Dufner has just gone birdie, | :07:37. | :07:47. | |
birdie, eagle, 1-under for the Championship. That is as close to | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
ecstasy as I have seen Jason Dufner! You certainly get plenty of | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
sand here when the tide goes out. It goes out and out, all along this | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
coast up to Morecambe. Whether quicksands, very treacherous. My dog | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
is being walked out there today. Jason Dufner has appeared fairly | :08:13. | :08:37. | |
recently. These fellows pop-out in their 30s and you wonder what they | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
have been doing for ten years, and then you see that they have been | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
learning their trade. Mickelson with his faithful caddy, looking rather | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
sombre today in black. Or is it dark blue? It is like is black on the | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
final day, like Tiger Woods likes his red. They are respective power | :08:59. | :09:10. | |
colours. Phil Mickelson is the defending champion for one more day. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
I am not sure either Robson knew what to do with his day off | :09:16. | :10:07. | |
yesterday. I am amazed that Tiger Woods, having | :10:08. | :10:18. | |
been such a marvellous player for 20 years, does not have a safe key | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
shot. -- tee shot. Lots of birdies today, a few bogeys, | :10:20. | :11:02. | |
a few sevens and sixes. Stenson was a pre-championship favourite, but | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
has not materialised. He will have to wait another year for this great | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Championship and the possibility of winning it. | :11:13. | :11:26. | |
The very tall figure of Chris Wood. There is a battle between him and | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
Robert Karlsson between you gets the tall title. | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
A very good links player. A good player or round. Lovely second into | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
the eighth. Playing alongside Paul Casey today, | :11:47. | :12:04. | |
who has been showing glimpses of good form lately, but not able to | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
put the whole thing together. I like watching him hit the ball. He had an | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
interesting slow delivery, and his thump hits it miles and miles. Good | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
putter. You can lose pieces of the jigsaw on occasion. Sometimes they | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
come together and they all fit and things are smooth. Everything feels | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
and looks the same. But it doesn't work quite as well. | :12:31. | :12:48. | |
A piece of the jigsaw that has been missing this week, 35 putts in the | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
first day, and it has improved slightly since then. That part of | :12:57. | :12:57. | |
the game has been costing him. Very pleasant conditions that here, | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
with a freshening Very pleasant conditions that here, | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
turned into a decent one club wind. Dufner. The left side today -- the | :13:14. | :13:45. | |
pin is on the left side today. It is not have a good Open record at all. | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
He has not been great this season. Tiger Woods will try to pitch this | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
71, 71 Hoffman and Hurley, just short of the flag. | :13:57. | :14:15. | |
71, 71 Hoffman and Hurley, three hours. We will see how that | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
changes come the end of the day. It can be done. I think Tiger is | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
heading down to the bunker on the right hand side. | :14:26. | :14:38. | |
Duly converted. Gets back to 1-over. Good group to watch, Cabrera-Bello | :14:39. | :14:50. | |
Nicholson. -- Cabrera and Nicholson. This is game number 19. The | :14:51. | :15:11. | |
defending champion, Phil Mickelson. That is the only different | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
introduction that a player will get at this Championship. If you harbour | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
champion, you get that little prefix. | :15:20. | :15:53. | |
good. It rather amuses me to hear players talk about this one of the | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
most difficult opening tee shots will stop from Argentina, Angel | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
Cabrera. This is the second time the Championship has been here since | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
2006, and this is usually the 17th hole, not the first. Cabrera, out | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
with the driver very often. Sometimes it works well and | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
sometimes it finds the rough. Yes, if the wind is from the north-west | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
then the first will be slightly across, in from the right. Slightly | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
tough to carry over those bunkers. I think a lot of players will line up | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
somewhere short. A newly cut path through the tangle we rough to the | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
fairway. The last pair go off at 2:40pm. | :16:44. | :17:01. | |
Playing just pairs today, two balls. Luke Donald with his seconds to the | :17:02. | :17:10. | |
fifth, a big and arcing par-5. Another player who is always nicely | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
balanced. A sweet shot. Delightful. Beautiful. CHEERING | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
Playing alongside Zach Johnson. A strong right-hand grip. Gets his | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
body out of the way quickly. Otherwise you are fighting a hook. | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
What can he do with this? Just the same. Yet still. APPLAUSE | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
I don't think we will see two better shot than that today. Back to | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
Dufner. Struggling a bit here after going birdie, eagle. | :17:53. | :18:10. | |
I did not see where Dufner finished, I think that might be a shot gun. | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
Maureen Madill can confirm where Tiger was. Both players making an | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
easy hole look difficult. Dufner missed the green miles left, it was | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
a bogey. Tiger missed 20 yards short and right and had an indifferent | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
chip to hear. I have to say that Tiger does not look exactly thrilled | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
to be here. I find that most extraordinary, but there we are. | :18:39. | :18:48. | |
Almost as if he's hoping somebody will tell him what to do. Surely he | :18:49. | :18:58. | |
should know himself how to do it. I'm lost. 5-over for the | :18:59. | :19:12. | |
Championship. Two over for the day. Now, Chris Wood, a lovely second | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
shot into here. And a very nice three for the man from Bristol. | :19:20. | :19:37. | |
Mickelson's second shot. Straight, hit it straight. Yeah, like that. | :19:38. | :19:53. | |
Whoa, whoa. It was good once. You see the changing character of this | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
hole. You leave yourself a very long second shot and a lot of players | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
hitting wedges in in the last couple of days. Hello. He almost hit that | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
before he was ready. I don't know what happened there. Perhaps he has | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
a plane to catch. He was on the move before he hit it and looks decidedly | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
cheesed off. I like that old-fashioned word, cheesed off. | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Disappointed. Look at that. Surely that won't cross the Atlantic. Some | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
fella did once, maybe in something a bit more sturdy than that. Come on | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
Luke. One of the most beautiful putters in the world. One right, one | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
left. He might as well have chipped and parted a couple of birdies. -- | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
and putted. Cabrera at the 1st had a clatter | :20:48. | :21:01. | |
with the drive. Got over the bunker but left. Magic clicking fingers, | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
get down, get down. To the back of the green. That's OK. You see the | :21:11. | :21:24. | |
ribbons on the player 's hats, that's in respect of Bob Torrance | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
who died yesterday, one of the most respected figures in professional | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
golf. A great character and coach. Maureen. Bunkers down the right and | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
golf. A great character and coach. Maureen. Bunkers sometimes old rough | :21:38. | :21:47. | |
down the left. Nothing from the crowd. | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
Maureen. Bunkers sometimes old rough down the left. Nothing from the Must | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
be difficult for any great in any sports to have the waning of the | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
powers. It could be temporarily, but when somebody else is doing what you | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
used to do, it can be hard to accept. If you can't put it together | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
it is time to leave the stage. That is always the big debate, when do | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
you retire? Very few retire to soon. They just hang on. They are doing | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
the farewell Frank Sinatra bit. But they still have a presence. This | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
fella still had a presence, I saw Sinatra in one of his last concerts. | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
He did Sinatra in one of his last concerts. | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
voice but he still had presence. EA points there. It is hard to give up | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
the stage when you have the appellation of the multitude. -- DA | :22:45. | :22:54. | |
Points. I'm sure Tiger will win again and will continue to win | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Majors again. We certainly can't write him off but he's closer to 40 | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
than 30 and he's had all sorts of injuries and is in a bit of golfing | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
turmoil, mental turmoil. A lot of things in the balance. It wouldn't | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
surprise me if he won next week. It would, really, but you never know. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
The classic thing is, at Royal Lytham St Annes a few years ago | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
with Nick Price, two shots ahead, and we said if he did 68 he must | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
win. He did 68 but Seve and we said if he did 68 he must | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
did 65 and won the Championship. The par-3 is 205 yards today. The clouds | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
are skimming across the hole from left to right. A glorious iron shot | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
for Zach Johnson also in this group. | :23:55. | :24:06. | |
Scott Drummond will be watching this one for us. Good morning. Zach | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
Johnson is just about to go with a 5-iron. The pin is just cut a yard | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
on to the top shelf today. Can the players see much of the green from | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
the tee or has the rough grown up there a bit? There is some | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
relatively high rough, I don't think there a bit? There is some | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
they can see most of the back shelf and all of the pin, certainly. | :24:35. | :24:43. | |
He followed looped in with a beautiful iron at the last hole. -- | :24:44. | :24:53. | |
followed Luke in. A beautiful stroke there. Place at | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
followed Luke in. A beautiful stroke Three hours for 18 holes. I suppose | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
you can do that when nobody is ahead of you. The first pair did that. The | :25:07. | :25:17. | |
6th hole. You can get a kick in off the right-hand side off the slopes. | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
The pin is on the back level so the ball coming to a halt on the rise. | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
-- the par-4. shot. The park | :25:32. | :25:49. | |
Obviously like short sleeve shirts. They always look a little bit short | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
to me, but that's just me. Some players like their sleeves down to | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
the elbow. Thomas Bjorn now. Hit just about as close as Tiger Woods | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
did a few moments ago. -- as Chris Wood did. Thomas Bjorn playing | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
alongside Henrik Stenson today. The third birdie four yawn today. | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
2-under for the Championship. -- for Bjorn. Good crowds today, you can | :26:29. | :26:37. | |
see the ground a bit muddy looking, the green grass has gone, but it is | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
certainly not a quagmire. And extraordinary day yesterday for | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
weather forecasts. Never seen anything like it in my shortish life | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
on this planet. Thunder, lightning. HAZEL IRVINE: It was a pretty tasty | :26:53. | :27:04. | |
storm but happily it is a beautiful day for the final day of this 143rd | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
Open Championship. Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler will be stepping onto | :27:12. | :27:19. | |
the first tee at 2:40pm. Johnson and Garcia at 2:30pm. And Edoardo | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
Molinari and Victor Dubuisson at 2:20pm. Those are the only men | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
within nine shots of Rory's lead. It is a healthy lead. I imagine those | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
at 6-under will imagine they can go though today. Can Darren Clarke post | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
another good total after his best round of the day yesterday, 67. It | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
has been a great week for the island of Ireland. So much to enjoy on this | :27:46. | :27:57. | |
final day. Thomas Bjorn going well, one of three players making a move | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
today. Not threatening the leaders. Tiger Woods is too over for the | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
day. A double bogey at the 7th, currently 5-over for the | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
Championship. He's out with Jason Dufner who had an eagle at ten so | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
there is movement on the golf course. We are expecting more of | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
that. We will leave Hoylake for about ten minutes as we catch up | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
with the news headlines from around the world but we will see you at | :28:25. | :28:26. | |
around 12:10pm. See you soon. It took less than 90 seconds for the | :28:27. | :28:34. | |
eight-storey building to collapse. Imagine the number of women | :28:35. | :28:44. | |
this industry supports. This World investigates | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
the true cost of fashion. | :28:48. | :28:51. |
