This is what they are playing for on the final day of the Ricoh British | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
women's Championship at Woburn. We have been coming to this club since | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
1984 for the Championship, on and off. But it is the first time it has | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
returned as one of the five Majors in the women's game. It is a big | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
deal here. It has a happy habit of producing famous champions. Seve | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Ballesteros, Dame Laura Davies, Lee Trevino and Sir Nick Faldo. And this | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
lady, 26 years ago and she hasn't changed a bit. There she is, one of | :01:04. | :01:15. | |
the nine previous Woburn winners. Seven time major winner, Karrie | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Webb. Bidding to become the tenth Woburn winner of its Catriona | :01:22. | :01:35. | |
Matthew. At 46 she became the oldest champion in history. Mo Martin would | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
love to hold the trophy again after her stunning run at Royal Birkdale | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
two years ago. But today could also be a major breakthrough for Mirim | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
Lee, aiming to follow compatriots as the 50 winner from South Korea. Or | :01:57. | :02:11. | |
will it be Thailand's date and that of Ariya Jutanugarn. I know how to | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
play under pressure. I know what is and isn't under my control. Yes, | :02:22. | :02:33. | |
Jutanugarn slept on that lead after that beautiful 66 yesterday. Mirim | :02:34. | :02:43. | |
Lee, could be a major winner in waiting as well. Mo Martin just | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
behind, Catriona Matthew, left herself with something to do. Heady | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
times for Leona Maguire. 26 years ago, it was Helen's day in | :02:56. | :03:13. | |
the sun at Woburn. Who's do you think it will be today? I think it | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
will be Jutanugarn or Mirim Lee. I have been very impressed with Ariya | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
Jutanugarn. Armed with this two lion in the bag, which she has hit so | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
beautifully from the tee, let's reflect on the power and position | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
she has managed. She has faltered in a major Championship earlier in the | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
season, what gives you confidence it won't happen today? First of all, | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
they are so young and in it for the first time. The motion, the body | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
reacts completely different. Sometimes you don't even recognise | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
this body you are in and how your thoughts go. They are not equipped | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
to understand it. She went on to win three in a row. Obviously learned | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
some things, trying to stay relaxed, thinking about what is in your | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
control. Three in a row as you say in regular Tour events, and the | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
relaxation was in evidence yesterday. She has put a smile in as | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
part of her pre-shot routine. Not a care in the world, Ariya Jutanugarn. | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
It is so important. It was the iron play, she said it wasn't as crisp as | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
she would like, but how impressed were you? I don't know how to say | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
it, just the way she hits it. The interview, she said she wasn't happy | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
with it, I thought it was excellent. Not a lot of things look like it is | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
wrong, her putting has a very strong stroke. Gets to the hole, which we | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
saw a lot of players not do. It is her to lose it rather than anyone | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
gain it. She looks solid. This is at the 8th, in she goes. With this kind | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
of power play, M the Championship record of 19-under par be in danger? | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
I think so, the course is playing so nicely. Not a breath of wind and the | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
greens are so receptive. The pins aren't very difficult. Maybe the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
last few holes could be a determining factor. With her, not | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
having a lot of par fives out here, she has the chance of three or four | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
birdies. Let's look at who is out with whom. We have got 15 players | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
within ten shots of Jutanugarn's lead. Brilliant playing from the | :06:03. | :06:13. | |
Irish amateur, Leona Maguire. She is out with Shanshan Feng. Karrie Webb | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
is still in the picture, 21 years after winning her first event at | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
Woburn. It is a major, all-American affair with Lexi Thompson and Stacy | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
Lewis. Catriona Matthew and Mo Martin underway at two o'clock. Will | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
the champion come from this final pairing? Will it be Mirim Lee or | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Ariya Jutanugarn. Ken Brown will be watching their every move. He was | :06:47. | :06:56. | |
out early on with the man who designed this Marquis course many | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
years Peter Alice. These wonderful trees, all sorts of oak, beech and | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
elm. I can see Clive Clarke now, blazing his way through with a | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
machete in his hand. Clive Clarke did 90% of this course on his own. I | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
trail behind saying a few romantic words occasionally. It is a bit | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
magic out here this morning, Peter. This was one of the few parts of the | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
property that were wet. Hence we have a stream and the marquis, bless | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
him, he wanted a water feature. So we manage, much against the run of | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
play to carve this out. Depending on which TU play-off, it is one of the | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
nicest holes on the cause. You have a big decision to make of the tee. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
They lay up in the middle. I don't want them to do it all the time | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
because you get too many divots in the same place. Have a good day, | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
ladies. Don't you want a cup of Coffey? No, we are not allowed. See | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
how it goes through the woods. Beautiful, it really is. This is the | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
last par-5. During the war, they dumped ammunition here. We had to | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
call in the bomb disposal people. They virtually closed down the work | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
meant for a couple of days. But we didn't blow anything up, but it was | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
a worry getting rid of the bombs, added to the excitement. You see how | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
wide the fairways are. This was meant to be enjoyed by the members | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
and guests, it was never meant to be the most severe test in the world. I | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
don't see the point in trying to create a course like that. Good | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
hole, the 15th. This is a good little amphitheatre. Pass the | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
studio. Thank you, it was a great adventure and we are on the 18th | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
now? There is quite a big ripple and roll through this green. Don't be | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
surprised if you see one, two or three putts today. You must be very | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
proud. Very proud. You like this marquis course? It is absolutely | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
stunning. Every hole has its character. Unfortunately I don't get | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
to play it. I just hear good things from the girls about it. Helen, you | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
would burn it up. Charley Hull, had it going 7-under until a double | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
bogey at the 13th and then bogeys at the 14th and 16th. But the one | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
running making progress is the former US Open champion, So Yeon | :10:06. | :10:16. | |
Ryu. In this 40th anniversary of the Ricoh British women's open, let's | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
enjoy the final day. Just about to get underway is Jutanugarn. Let's | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
hand you over to our commentary team. | :10:30. | :10:39. | |
The final round of the 2016 Ricoh women's open competition. Game | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
number 38. On the tee, from career, Mirim Lee. | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
COMMENTATOR: You have got to enjoy watching this girl play. She is very | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
impressive. So many players here this week that really make the heart | :11:01. | :11:10. | |
race a bit. Just watch this swing, very sturdy, compact and powerful. | :11:11. | :11:19. | |
Great follow-through. May have pushed it a whisker. I think she has | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
missed... From Thailand, Ariya Jutanugarn. COMMENTATOR: She is a | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
crackerjack as well. A good battle in progress between these two. There | :11:39. | :11:49. | |
is the smile. That is to kid herself she's not nervous. I'm going to | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
enjoy this. That little trophy is coming my way. Maybe? Super. Just | :11:56. | :12:16. | |
six inches wide. OK. You can tell why she was a little bit anxious, | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
staring after that one. Close to the bunker but the 2-iron will get some | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
work today. She does hit it a long way. Going to Mo Martin, up ahead on | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
the green. Totally different player, Mo Martin. Not very long off the | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
tee. Straight and true. A good thinker around the course. That is a | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
wonderful judge of pace and line. I don't think she will make many | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
mistakes. Not a flamboyant player, but if the ones who are more | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
powerful make mistakes, you just nibble away. She is playing | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
alongside Catriona Matthew. They have both opened with pars. On the | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
final hole, Charley Hull. What a great round she did have going at | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
one point. She was out in 31. Another couple of birdies, but | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
hasn't been all that brilliant the last half a dozen holes. There is | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
the abbey. It just shows you the estate. There is the golf course. | :13:32. | :13:44. | |
It's not all that far away. The bottom, middle left is the | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
television compound. On the second, we find Catriona Matthew. | :13:52. | :14:02. | |
She was looking down the left-hand side, a little bit anxiously. Come | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
out, come out, come out. Par-5. Needs to make a few birdies today | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
and hopes Jutanugarn comes back a little bit. Stacy Lewis. 9-under. | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
Just off the green, as you can see. Little chip. Just tiptoed on another | :14:26. | :14:39. | |
four feet more than she'd hoped. 9-under, in fifth place at the | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
moment. It just shows you how good Charley Hull's round was. She did | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
get 29-under at one point. Jutanugarn, close to the bunker. | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Settled in the rough a little bit, but not a bad line coming into that | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
right-hand pin position. Little ridge in the middle of the green. | :15:05. | :15:24. | |
Ken Brown, following this game. I'm sure he will have much to report on | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
the two wings and throwing is and the conferences on every shot. I am | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
certainly looking forward to it. Bit cloudy all of a sudden, but no rain. | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
133 yards, the pain is seven paces over. She has got a pitch and wedge. | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
I don't know how softly that ball can be made to land. Look at that, | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
stopped stone dead almost. To get to this flag, you really have got to | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
come off the fairway. You can have a go at it, but you have got to come | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
from the back of the green. Same for her playing partner, Mirim Lee. It | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
will probably come out of there and run on a little bit. If it trickles | :16:19. | :16:31. | |
67 yards past it, it will trickle off the back of the green. She too | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
has one of her wedges. It looks like she is eyeing the flag. Not a lot of | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
room? No, but if she can get it up she will have to rely on the | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
trajectory rather than the spin to stop it. She is left of the flag. It | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
took a bounce. The other one stopped within six or seven feet and that | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
one just rolls off the back. Slight struggle for pars at the 1st. Slight | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
struggle for Stacy Lewis on the par-5. Slight struggle, she had an | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
eagle chance, but run it past. Still this for a birdie. Looks a bit | :17:21. | :17:30. | |
perplexed. She knows she needs to get something going and a couple of | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
pars to start with. A missed opportunity on the par-5 2nd. It | :17:37. | :17:48. | |
could be a good one. By such margins. Championships are won and | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
lost. Former US Open champion back in | :17:53. | :18:13. | |
2011. The yardage books get bigger and bigger. They used to be little | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
pocket diaries, but now they are bigger than the old Testament. | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
Catriona Matthew, the shape of the tree sticking out. Crafty of them to | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
leave those couple of trees in, wasn't it? Makes it an entirely | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
different shot. New have to try and shape it around, right-to-left. | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
Looks a good line, if it just turns. Excellent shot. | :18:46. | :18:56. | |
Just got away from her yesterday. Started well, three birdies in the | :18:57. | :19:05. | |
first four holes. Back to the first, Mirim Lee. She has left herself the | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
best part of 40 feet and not easy to get the pace all the line right. You | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
don't want to leave yourself a nasty three and a half foot. Got to take a | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
very good touch to lay this stone dead. The surface of the greens, | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
absolutely stunning. I don't think I've seen better. Come along. Just | :19:34. | :19:46. | |
as the ball loses pace, the big swing at the end. That is eight out | :19:47. | :19:56. | |
of ten. Mo Martin, second on the par-5. Very few par fives have been | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
reached in two. Getting a bit of advice from her | :19:59. | :20:41. | |
caddy, Peter. He has been a kingpin at reading the greens this week. He | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
has been very involved, every time. It is tricky. | :20:50. | :20:58. | |
Up the hill and a little down the other side. Over the ridge and down | :20:59. | :21:16. | |
she comes. Slowing up. Oh dear. Charley Hull on the final green. | :21:17. | :21:33. | |
For dropped strokes. Looking absolutely flying, looks as if she | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
will finish in the top three or four. You never know, it may do if | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
the others have golfing catastrophes. This will be about 69, | :21:45. | :21:57. | |
68, 69. Might have been so much better. 69 it is. 13, 14, 15 is | :21:58. | :22:10. | |
where she slipped up. Get ready for Rio now, Charley Hull. She will be | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
playing alongside this woman the Great Britain. Eagle attempt for | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
Catriona Matthew. Not too shabby. Brilliant. I don't think she will be | :22:22. | :22:30. | |
to cross about that, getting down in two from such a long range. It just | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
misses the flag and spins out. A whisker left, that would have gone | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
in. In it goes further birdie. One of the shots she has two pick-up has | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
been collected at the 2nd. Creeping closer to Jutanugarn. She would have | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
expected that on a short par-5. Par putt at the 1st four Mirim Lee. | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
Right in the middle. That is impressive. Very impressive. Leona | :23:09. | :23:22. | |
Maguire, who is on the 4th hole. All pars so far. This is to save par, | :23:23. | :23:35. | |
here. Well done! The 21-year-old, who is clear in the race for leading | :23:36. | :23:47. | |
amateur. Mo Martin, for a birdie. No. Just slid across. That is a nice | :23:48. | :23:59. | |
par. Funny sort of day. And there is a little bit of chill in the air. We | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
have seen very little sunshine. There is a bit of wind blowing | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
around the trees. A few sweaters and anoraks on today. This is one to | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
test the putting on the first four Jutanugarn. The test has been | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
passed. Might be an interesting dual between these two, Jutanugarn and | :24:24. | :24:34. | |
Mirim Lee. Career against Thailand. A fascinating. In the last stroke | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
play event in Ohio this month, Mirim Lee and Jutanugarn and Lydia Ko, | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
fought out a play-off for the title. Eventually it was Lydia Ko who won | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
it. These players have been in this pressure situation together very | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
recently. It be interesting to who can handle the nerves better. | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
Charley Hull, really did have it going. I'm sure the big crowd here | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
at Woburn, this is where she grew up and learned her golf. She has given | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
them a lot to smile about today. To the second tee and Mirim Lee. Watch | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
this follow-through here. That would hurt those of less supple | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
disposition. That is a great line now. Long Way down as well. Always | :25:33. | :25:44. | |
chatting and smiling. Always busy. In no time to be sombre. Here comes | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
the big piece of furniture. Or, her biggest piece of furniture. Only | :25:54. | :26:01. | |
carries this 3-wood, which is like a shallow faced driver with a bit of | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
loft on. She smacks that away Henrik Stenson style. And down it goes. | :26:08. | :26:17. | |
There they are, almost side-by-side. Mirim Lee did give it a good shoot | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
forward with the driver but Jude can you time is very long with the | :26:25. | :26:40. | |
3-wood. -- Jutanugarn. Nearly whipped herself in the face with her | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
ponytail fair. Matthew at the 3rd. Sweet swing. | :26:47. | :26:57. | |
Can you put your cameras away while they are playing, please? Mo Martin, | :26:58. | :27:09. | |
this should be a low trajectory. Doesn't get the ball tremendously | :27:10. | :27:20. | |
airborne, but deadly accurate. That might just tiptoe of the fairway. | :27:21. | :27:43. | |
Jutanugarn and Mirim Lee, both safely gathering. | :27:44. | :27:55. | |
Look at where the tee shots are on the second. This par-5, sweeping | :27:56. | :28:05. | |
round the corner to the left. Both are big hits, 3-wood for Jutanugarn. | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
In prime position to have a pop at this par-5 in two. Not a huge amount | :28:11. | :28:18. | |
going on on the green, just feed a little bit from the right-hand side. | :28:19. | :28:30. | |
Amazingly, these big tall pines are in between them and the flag. She | :28:31. | :28:47. | |
has 195 yards left. Shallow green. Pain is tucked over the bunker as | :28:48. | :28:59. | |
well. -- pin. The scoring is more difficult today. Looking down our | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
computers. There are a few better than par, but not all that many. | :29:04. | :29:09. | |
Charley Hull got it going but the greens are a little firmer. Pins | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
like this one are tucked over the big trap. You have got to be very | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
accurate to get close to the flags. Remember, this is a par-5, so why | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
should you have every blast at it and make it simple to get near the | :29:26. | :29:33. | |
hole. She has got a 6-iron, Peter. It is not a par-5 then, is it. Too | :29:34. | :29:41. | |
short. Cracks it down the right and it may not come back. Strained at | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
that one little bit. Probably trying to drag it round. Might have done | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
better with a five and play it more softly, more gently. This one is a | :29:55. | :30:03. | |
different shot altogether. 188. Pops it up in the air. Similar line, it | :30:04. | :30:12. | |
is going a bit quick. On the edge of the bunker, I think. Depends on the | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
lie. Par-5 of the front line, Ryu. | :30:18. | :30:36. | |
Beautifully done. Couple of birdies in the first two holes and the | :30:37. | :30:37. | |
chance of a third here. Martin and Matthew both off the | :30:38. | :30:54. | |
fairway. Bunker short on the right-hand side. Plenty of room. | :30:55. | :31:04. | |
When Martin lines up this shot, she is only a small, very petite women. | :31:05. | :31:13. | |
Look at her stamps and how big, how long the club appears to be. Don't | :31:14. | :31:18. | |
know if you will get a good view this time, but sometimes it looks | :31:19. | :31:21. | |
like she's using clubs which are two or three inches too long for her. | :31:22. | :31:31. | |
Looks like a huge, long club. She only five foot one, five foot two. | :31:32. | :31:38. | |
Swinger, not a hater. Timing all-important for her again slid it | :31:39. | :31:54. | |
in beautifully. One hop and it was there she has to play an entirely | :31:55. | :31:58. | |
different course to Jutanugam, coming from different distances with | :31:59. | :32:07. | |
different clubs. Entirely different set of shotmaking, that is one of | :32:08. | :32:11. | |
the fascinating aspects of the game. She moves to 9-under par. There are | :32:12. | :32:22. | |
some birdies out there. Alongside Stacy Lewis in a tie for fifth. Back | :32:23. | :32:28. | |
to the par-5. Catriona Matthew. 82 appearances in major | :32:29. | :32:47. | |
Championships. Just need to carry three or four yards onto the green. | :32:48. | :32:57. | |
Always going right. Always to the right. | :32:58. | :33:14. | |
Just missed the sand but a hard lie where the tree roots are. Tricky to | :33:15. | :33:29. | |
get this right. I way it goes. Suddenly this very birdie able par-5 | :33:30. | :33:38. | |
become something very different for Mirim Lee. | :33:39. | :33:49. | |
Maguire, the amateur from Ireland. What a good player she is. Well | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
ahead in the race for the amateur prize. And she has done another one. | :33:56. | :34:02. | |
You may soon have some competition. A much more friendly lie, upslope, | :34:03. | :34:29. | |
sitting quite nicely, better angle to the green. Just have to get the | :34:30. | :34:32. | |
first bounce or it will kick to the left. Over the little hill. Just | :34:33. | :34:42. | |
sounded a little bit fluffy. But that for birdie. | :34:43. | :34:56. | |
9-under. Birdie, par, bogey on this hole, so need the hall and one for | :34:57. | :35:05. | |
the full set! -- the hole-in-one. Just got about a yard of fringe to | :35:06. | :35:31. | |
putt over, but it is the crispest looking fringe you will find. Can | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
get the ball running off it quite easily, from this angle also putting | :35:37. | :35:43. | |
a little up the hill. Didn't waste much time lining this one up. | :35:44. | :36:04. | |
Making hard work of arrests after a very good tee shot. -- of this. | :36:05. | :36:17. | |
Possible six are looming. See what Catriona Matthew can make of this, | :36:18. | :36:18. | |
by head, this is very awkward. What a good shot there, that was | :36:19. | :36:38. | |
very delicate Andrew, very tricky. Very well done. Good touch. | :36:39. | :36:53. | |
Birdie putt. Might be,, could be a two shot swing here. | :36:54. | :37:15. | |
How about that one? Very neat and tidy. | :37:16. | :37:35. | |
Mo Martin with a long birdie attempt on the third. | :37:36. | :37:44. | |
Has judge did very well indeed, oh! That is a bonus, a double bonus, you | :37:45. | :37:56. | |
don't really expect to hole those. When you do it's a lovely feeling. | :37:57. | :38:05. | |
Well done. The chase is on, Jutanugam clear, Mirim Lee trying to | :38:06. | :38:09. | |
limit the damage here. Always left, it is a two shot swing | :38:10. | :38:33. | |
on her playing partner. Mirim Lee slipping back. Just shows you how | :38:34. | :38:41. | |
quickly things can change. Certainly might be a three shot swing, get a | :38:42. | :38:48. | |
bit cross, hit it too hard and catch the edge. I'm not anticipating that, | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
but this is for six after a perfect tee shot. | :38:55. | :39:06. | |
Six it is. Much to ponder on the way to the third tee. Catriona Matthew | :39:07. | :39:22. | |
just to finish out here on the third. Just catches the right edge, | :39:23. | :39:33. | |
very good up and down, par, birdie, par start, six behind again. | :39:34. | :39:37. | |
STUDIO: Confirmation that Jutanugam of Thailand has a real breathing | :39:38. | :39:53. | |
space, a four shot lead. Mo Martin making progress as is Catriona | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
Matthew, but this young 20-year-old keeps going on. Charley Hull, we saw | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
her finishing off early, heading for a top 20 finish, let's can form what | :40:05. | :40:09. | |
was a wonderful round, really had it going through 12 holes, 7-under | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
before rather untidy finish, let's get for reflection. Did your whole | :40:15. | :40:22. | |
major on your home golf course live up to expectations? It was great | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
fun, I've enjoyed the whole week. Didn't play quake as well as I | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
wanted to yesterday, I played well, today I played great apart from the | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
last six holes, 9-under par for the tournament but I finished on | :40:38. | :40:45. | |
5-under. You were 7-under for the day at one point, with the leaders | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
going out there are only three players within six shots of the | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
leader so how far back is too far back? I don't think, there is no far | :40:55. | :41:03. | |
back, you can easily shoot a low one or a high one, if it happens the | :41:04. | :41:09. | |
tables turn. What's next in the season? I am playing Rio then I have | :41:10. | :41:14. | |
two weeks in Canada for the Canadian Open and another event over there | :41:15. | :41:21. | |
then the Asian swing. Just a little bit more golf to be played, best of | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
luck, particularly in the Olympics, I am glad you enjoyed your home | :41:27. | :41:27. | |
Open. Thank you very much. Jessica Ennis-Hill is back on top of | :41:28. | :41:49. | |
the world! Adam Peaty wins the gold. Nicola Adams has just made history! | :41:50. | :42:00. | |
Goldberg Kenya! His 18th Olympic Gold Medal. They are world champions | :42:01. | :42:15. | |
again! Bradley Wiggins is the Olympic champion! Laura Trott | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
crosses the line as the world champion. Mo Farah streaking away! | :42:22. | :42:33. | |
There could be gold coming for Great Britain's athletes and golf | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
returning to the games after 112 years, Charley Hull, Catriona | :42:39. | :42:41. | |
Matthew, Danny Willett, Justin Rose, three major winners and one in | :42:42. | :42:49. | |
waiting you could say for Charley Hull, playing for Team GB. | :42:50. | :42:55. | |
COMMENTATOR: It will be enjoyable. Jutanugam year with the iron again | :42:56. | :43:03. | |
generates such clubhead speed. IS nationalities represented in the | :43:04. | :43:43. | |
last seven groups out today, impressive array of global talent -- | :43:44. | :43:46. | |
ten nationalities represented. The mutterings of Tom Watson. I | :43:47. | :44:25. | |
think the caddy for Jutanugam was his caddy a couple of times. Anyway, | :44:26. | :44:32. | |
Catriona Matthew. I might have just imagined that, I have a vivid | :44:33. | :44:37. | |
imagination. Nice drive-by Catriona Matthew, big crowds you can see, | :44:38. | :44:45. | |
need to control the camera work. We are joining Leona Maguire just at | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
one of the very few bad shots she has played all week. Been a | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
magnificent performance by the young amateur. | :44:54. | :45:16. | |
Being attacked by some sort of flying beastie. | :45:17. | :45:49. | |
Go, she said. Was hitting with the 8-iron but needed a bit more. But | :45:50. | :46:01. | |
good start by Martin, third place on her own at the moment. | :46:02. | :46:18. | |
Cooler conditions now, just a hint of a smidgen of rain in the air. | :46:19. | :46:34. | |
Another fine iron by Catriona but could be swept into a hollow. Just | :46:35. | :46:46. | |
hanging on. Tomorrow max the 22nd anniversary of her turning | :46:47. | :46:48. | |
professional, and what a career it has been. The tee shots of the final | :46:49. | :46:56. | |
group on the third, Jutanugam getting around the corner. Lee | :46:57. | :46:58. | |
first. Both with a good line to attack this | :46:59. | :47:08. | |
flag. Which Mirim Lee does superbly. She picked up a birdie at the last | :47:09. | :47:47. | |
but is giving it back straightaway. Long way clear of the second | :47:48. | :47:54. | |
amateur, she was two over par. Will be eight shots clear or so after | :47:55. | :48:03. | |
less. Jutanugam, 158. From that distance, not her best. She said | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
yesterday Andrew that she hit a lot of poor iron shots but that was the | :48:09. | :48:14. | |
distance her bad ones went to so she is still able to put together a | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
really good score. This is a bit of a tester for Leona, normally solid | :48:20. | :48:25. | |
on these. Then she goes. Backward she started the day on 7-under. | :48:26. | :48:32. | |
Jutanugam is actually a year younger than Leona Maguire, some go to the | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
professional ranks much younger, especially in the women's game. | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
Jutanugam four shots clear bidding for her first major title. You have | :48:42. | :48:54. | |
to 8-under and 7-under his too far back now. | :48:55. | :49:06. | |
If it carried another two or three yards it would have kicked off the | :49:07. | :49:12. | |
slope but it landed on the flat part sorry slightly longer putt than she | :49:13. | :49:14. | |
anticipated. A bit of something left there. Has | :49:15. | :49:37. | |
holed out so well. Both look a little nervous on the green this | :49:38. | :49:40. | |
morning so far, haven't quite had the authority, certainly on his | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
first couple of holes. Just a little bit lacking in pace in one or two of | :49:48. | :49:58. | |
the putts. Mirim Lee won twice in America in 2014, but had a bit of a | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
hand injury problem which held her back last year. | :50:05. | :50:14. | |
Little did slope, this one. -- downslope. | :50:15. | :50:28. | |
The Rose led on the whole, that was for sure. Looked good the hallway. | :50:29. | :50:38. | |
Mo Martin with a lengthy birdie putt. She holed one longer than this | :50:39. | :50:48. | |
at the last for her birdie. This one needs to do something rather | :50:49. | :50:56. | |
drastic. A few players coming up short today, the greens a little bit | :50:57. | :51:03. | |
damp, heavier air. Something is upsetting the players on the greens. | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
She's gone short a couple times as well. This will either turn out to | :51:08. | :51:12. | |
be a nerve settlor or a nerve jangling. It settles her nerves, if | :51:13. | :51:20. | |
indeed it was needed. Big putt. Big putt, she said. | :51:21. | :51:37. | |
Catriona Matthew, can she get to 12-under? Coming round, coming round | :51:38. | :51:47. | |
and dropping! Catriona Matthew, two birdies in her first four, great | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
start yesterday and another one today. Just five behind and a long | :51:52. | :51:53. | |
way still to go. Lexi Thompson, world number four. | :51:54. | :52:13. | |
Father on the bag. Lots of family caddy is out here this week. Very | :52:14. | :52:20. | |
good shot, generates enough speed through the ball to gather a bit of | :52:21. | :52:29. | |
spin on landing. Mo Martin making herself worked very hard for par | :52:30. | :52:38. | |
here. The short, punchy stroke and on that occasion it was well | :52:39. | :52:49. | |
off-line. Perfect tee shot, a bit of cut spin. Ideal. | :52:50. | :53:01. | |
Always awkward when the hole turns from left to right and the fairway | :53:02. | :53:07. | |
slopes the other way, awkward to find it sometimes. You need to shape | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
it a little bit, in this case a little bit from left-to-right. | :53:12. | :53:26. | |
Again, the different options, iron for Jutanugam, driver for Mirim Lee. | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
That one just nestles down. The all-American pairing of Stacy | :53:33. | :53:59. | |
Lewis and Lexi Thompson. Up on the fifth. Stacys first | :54:00. | :54:09. | |
professional win was a major, and won this Championship at St Andrews. | :54:10. | :54:30. | |
Very well holed indeed. Amazingly hasn't won an individual title for | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
the last couple of years but feels her form is getting back to that | :54:34. | :54:39. | |
stage. Catriona Matthew moving in the right direction, 3-wood in her | :54:40. | :54:42. | |
hands here. Another dogleg right to left. Just | :54:43. | :55:00. | |
pulled at a fraction. It was tight to the left but now near enough | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
ideal. Thompson. Well done. Two nice birdies for the American | :55:06. | :55:26. | |
pair. Identical start from the two of them, they might pull each other | :55:27. | :55:34. | |
along quite well today. Out with the driver, Mo Martin. As we have said, | :55:35. | :55:44. | |
not the longest player but always up near the top of the statistics for | :55:45. | :55:51. | |
straightness of the tee. That is bounding on. You really have to find | :55:52. | :55:59. | |
a rough down the left first of all to finish on the fairway as Mo | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
Martin dead. The tee shot from Mirim Lee and Jutanugam on the fourth. | :56:05. | :56:30. | |
The ball a little bit above her feet. Unusual green, the slope faces | :56:31. | :56:42. | |
you for the first half of the green and the second half it tumbles away | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
which is where the flag mac is cut today. You need to landed about 14 | :56:46. | :56:56. | |
for I would say. -- you need to landed about 1404I would say. | :56:57. | :57:03. | |
Grand shot, just needs to grab. That looks to be an awkward one up | :57:04. | :57:12. | |
against the collar. If you carry it on to the downslope, it can skid | :57:13. | :57:19. | |
over the back, it's very steep, most unusual. Mirim Lee coming out of the | :57:20. | :57:26. | |
rough. Needs to favour the right side a little, this is bound to come | :57:27. | :57:28. | |
out with a bit of skip and run. I think she knew when she hit that | :57:29. | :57:45. | |
it was going to be too hot. Might be a slightly easier chip than for | :57:46. | :58:00. | |
Jutanugam. Very square in the takeaway, she was saying earlier in | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
the week through an interpreter I may say that she sometimes gets the | :58:05. | :58:11. | |
club shut going back. One of the things I have noticed about all of | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
these players is how stable they are, how good their balance is | :58:16. | :58:22. | |
through the hit. She's got a very low, rounded finish. | :58:23. | :58:40. | |
After the sixth. Playing 165, the first par-3 today, Lexi Thompson. | :58:41. | :58:51. | |
She has had a couple of struggles, bogey, bogey, par on this hole. It's | :58:52. | :58:58. | |
an awkward looking swing through the hit, that of Lexi Thompson. But it | :58:59. | :59:05. | |
works time and time again. Her feet dance a little bit and she seems to | :59:06. | :59:12. | |
come out of it a little bit. Yes, it's normally only her putting which | :59:13. | :59:17. | |
seems to give her any problems. She is a long, strong hitter. Matthew | :59:18. | :59:25. | |
and Martin two of the most accurate players in the game today. The flag | :59:26. | :59:29. | |
only eight gone. -- on. Good shot. Stacy Lewis playing alongside Lexi | :59:30. | :59:54. | |
Thompson on the sixth. Thompson hopped on a little bit and | :59:55. | :00:13. | |
Stacy Lewis' comes to a grinding halt. Mirim Lee, from the back of | :00:14. | :00:28. | |
the fourth. Little steamy. A trifle heavy-handed, but it is difficult to | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
judge how it is going to come out of that grass. 94 yards for Mo Martin. | :00:33. | :00:46. | |
Be good. She says that so often. That is stunning from Mo Martin. She | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
doesn't have the distance like Jutanugarn, but there are few as | :00:58. | :01:11. | |
accurate. Pretty good line. What is the feeling, I wonder, if there are | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
any nerves on show? Trying to get over the line for her first major. | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
It will be very interesting. If she were to drop one shot, just to see | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
how she handles that. She is scrambling a little bit for her pars | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
just now. Beautiful technique through an awkward shot. HANS | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
staying ahead of the blade and just hoped it forward. -- hands. The one | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
thing Mirim Lee didn't want to do was not get past the flag. She is in | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
the face of the Eiger here, this is quick. This will test your touch and | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
your nerve, this one. It seemed to be travelling so | :02:01. | :02:17. | |
slowly, that it must surely drop. One thing in Jutanugarn's favour, | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
she is not being put under pressure by her playing partner. Mirim Lee | :02:25. | :02:37. | |
now back to 12-under par. Alongside Catriona Matthew. Can she get to 13? | :02:38. | :02:49. | |
A tie for second place at the moment the Katrina Matty. Five behind. A | :02:50. | :03:01. | |
couple of good putts she has hold on the last couple of greens. The | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
chasing pack have to keep chasing, they have to give the reader an | :03:06. | :03:16. | |
opportunity to wobble. -- leader. This should be a formality for Mo | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
Martin. That was very short indeed. I know | :03:19. | :03:48. | |
she does hole a lot of putts with that putting stroke but it is a | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
short, jabbing affair. Oh dear, after that wonderful shot in. Lexi | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
Thompson, on the par-3. On the par-5, Leona Maguire. Little | :04:03. | :04:36. | |
right to left on this putt. Just not borrowing quite enough. Was ranked | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
number one in the amateur world for almost a year. Very much a | :04:43. | :04:55. | |
positional tee shot this one. To the corner of the dogleg. 240 yards. | :04:56. | :05:08. | |
Just looking at the top of those beech trees, they are hardly moving | :05:09. | :05:20. | |
at all. Perfect for golf. This is a tee shot you cannot bully. You just | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
have to play the percentage which is about 240 yards. | :05:25. | :05:36. | |
Well, got away with that. That was sailing into the upper canopy, has | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
come down. We can see what line she has from there, but it is lying well | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
out in the clearing. Stacy Lewis. Trying to get something going here. | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
That's the way to do it. That moves her to 11-under, back-to-back | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
birdies. Six behind the leader at the moment, but only one out of | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
second spot. There are four, five, six players just waiting for and | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
needing a slip from Ariya Jutanugarn. No sign of that at the | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
moment. Leona Maguire will be the leading | :06:25. | :06:42. | |
amateur. But she will be looking for a top-10 finish. | :06:43. | :06:54. | |
Tremendous rhythm to Matthew's swing. It is brisk without being | :06:55. | :07:09. | |
hurried, if that's not a contradiction in terms? She has just | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
leaked a couple out to the right with her irons so far today, | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
Maureen. It is one of those greens that throws the ball of the putting | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
surface. It seems to be favour of the designer, that was? Evil man. | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
No, Clive Clarke. Discussions are ongoing. Mo Martin, coming off the | :07:35. | :07:51. | |
back of that very short list putt. -- missed. | :07:52. | :08:07. | |
Very good swing indeed, as the caddy was saying. Both these players, | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
owners of one major title, both having won this very one. As we look | :08:18. | :08:25. | |
down on the final group on the 5th hole. Mirim Lee, just getting away | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
with that tee shot. Rattled into the trees. News of her to come, but | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
Jutanugarn, first of all. The course is looking lovely. Those high shots, | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
it looks superb. She has left her sub 138, the pin is six yards to the | :08:44. | :08:52. | |
right. This requires a high, soft landing shot. With her power, she | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
can do that. Exactly what she did. This is a better angle to the flag. | :09:00. | :09:19. | |
Only 117 left and a reasonable line. Mirim Lee went through the trees and | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
didn't hit a single branch. It doesn't work very often like that, | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
does it? Lovely shot. Beautiful shot from Jutanugarn. Taking advantage | :09:33. | :09:42. | |
from her good fortune. Well done, Mirim Lee. Jutanugarn has a slightly | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
longer birdie putt. Now, the split Fairway par-5. Stacy Lewis, going | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
down the right. Maybe going to Central? Cutting back. Yes, nice, | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
friendly bounce. Onto the launch pad. She will have about 240 yards | :10:05. | :10:16. | |
or so, from there to the green. Matthew, just below the level of the | :10:17. | :10:25. | |
green here. See how she plays this. Picking her landing spot. | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
Bit of bother on the par 34 Catriona Matthew. | :10:37. | :10:51. | |
-- par-3, four Catriona Matthew. Lexi Thompson, 3-wood here. That | :10:52. | :11:01. | |
looks like it is heading into the central area. That can't be good. It | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
is subterranean. Catriona Matthew had a very similar | :11:12. | :11:34. | |
putt to this one. Left it out to the right. It should turn a little from | :11:35. | :11:45. | |
the right. That is pretty much work Catriona Matthew hit it. It is not | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
exactly the same putt, but I think Katrina Matty was a bit perplexed by | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
it. It is in kind of a little valley. It may not turn as much as | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
it looks. It appears to be somewhat right. | :12:03. | :12:17. | |
Exactly the same. It is confusing us all. Mo Martin's birdie putt. The | :12:18. | :12:34. | |
one thing is, she won't want to leave herself the length of putt she | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
missed at the last. So... Very good effort. | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
Mirim Lee, see if she can get one shot back. Gave that the race. | :12:52. | :13:10. | |
Straight over Jutanugarn's marker. Lots of moving of markers. | :13:11. | :13:26. | |
Jutanugarn, aiming to become the first player from Thailand to win a | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
major. Mirim Lee trying to follow in a long line of South Koreans who | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
have won Majors. Always amazed at the number of South | :13:35. | :13:55. | |
Koreans who have popped up, had won two good seasons and seem as though | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
they will dominate the game and then fade back into the pack and little | :13:59. | :14:11. | |
bit. Yes, Hyo Joo Kim, she is now back on the LPGA. Sometimes I think | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
they need a bit of a break and recuperate. Jutanugarn, still five | :14:17. | :14:26. | |
clear. Five holes played. This would be a great par said of Matthew's. -- | :14:27. | :14:37. | |
save. Well, not to be. That drops her back to 11-under, six | :14:38. | :14:49. | |
behind. Stacy Lewis, from the end of the | :14:50. | :15:08. | |
right half of the fairway here on the seventh. Playing alongside Lexi | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
Thompson who has just had to pitch out after finding the trees in the | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
middle. Stacy Lewis into the sand. Or thereabouts. | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
There has been plenty of movements beneath the serene Ariya Jutanugarn | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
at the top. Mirim Lee, five shots behind and Catriona Matthew, who had | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
made some form of the Mantom has been brought to a halt by the bogey | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
at the 6th. Stacy Lewis in a tie for third. This is the last eventual | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
play as a single woman. Get married next week and then goes on honeymoon | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
to Rio, where she will compete in the goal. So Yeon Ryu, has been a | :15:59. | :16:08. | |
11th and fourth and tenth so far and is heading for a very good finish | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
once again. And me YE Yang Lee is our leader in the clubhouse. That is | :16:16. | :16:25. | |
how it stands. Do we have some drama to come over the next few holes? | :16:26. | :16:35. | |
COMMENTATOR: Only time will tell. Mo Martin, cracking one way at the 7th. | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
Birdie, birdie, birdie. It has been very kind to her this hole. It looks | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
another good one. The pin is cut over the little | :16:44. | :17:25. | |
hollow. Just over at four yards. 8-iron out. Hardly anything of a | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
breeze. If anything, just a bit of movement from behind. The question | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
is, where to land it. If you land it sure, it is going to get gathered up | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
by the hollow. Just one bounce too many. But very | :17:43. | :17:59. | |
nice shot. Very impressive, Ken? Last time we saw Lexi Thompson's | :18:00. | :18:07. | |
ball, it was at the base of a tree. She has chipped out to here. | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
Pitching up and into the steep upslope on the front portion of this | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
green. The spin she generates, taking it back of the putting | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
surface. Mirim Lee, one more 7-iron. She has the same problem, if it | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
takes one more bounce, it will grind to a halt. Same shot. | :18:36. | :18:59. | |
Matthew, going down the right on seven. Pretty much the line of | :19:00. | :19:14. | |
Thomson's. It seemed to scamper through a lot. Not sure where that | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
leaves her. On the edge of the thick stuff. I think she got away with | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
that one. Stacey is in a lot of trouble. Big bunker on the seventh. | :19:29. | :19:40. | |
Par-5. That was a strange sound. But it didn't come out too badly. | :19:41. | :19:55. | |
A five shot lead now. We hoped it wasn't going to be a stroll in the | :19:56. | :20:07. | |
park, because we wanted a bit of drama. But you have got to admire | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
the way our leader has kept playing, flawless golf. But the scoring | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
hasn't been as good today. Whether it is a slight change in temperature | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
or the flag position, whatever. Thompson, for a long birdie attempt | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
at the 7th. APPLAUSE | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
Good weight. When you are chasing and you have the power of Lexi | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
Thompson, you want to eat up the par fives. Back to the short hole. Both | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
players through the green. The last pair out on the course. I think the | :20:55. | :21:03. | |
greens are just that little bit firmer. Getting to these flags is | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
trickier. I think that's the difference between now and earlier | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
in the week. They are big targets, the greens are very generous. But | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
there are some long rolls on this. Certainly not flat. You have got to | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
think what you are doing on the greens. You could hit a good shot | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
and then end up with a putting macro -- putt like this. They have a | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
consistent bounce? Yes, they are very smooth, level and true. If they | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
where any faster, they would be very tricky. Marginally down the hill, | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
will see how it runs out. She has got the flag out. This is all of 12, | :21:52. | :22:07. | |
13 paces. Steady, steady, steady. That is the spirit of youth. | :22:08. | :22:20. | |
Knocking five, six feet past. Now, Stacy Lewis, birdied five, birdied | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
six. Just a little bit short of pace. Only a par on seven. That will | :22:30. | :22:40. | |
keep her at 11-under. Six behind. Just a marginal debate as to whether | :22:41. | :23:01. | |
this was on the green or not. But any part of the ball touching the | :23:02. | :23:08. | |
green, is classed as it is so she can market and claim it. She did | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
learn something about the line. A very quick learner, this lady. She | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
is tiptoeing up on the record score for this Championship which is | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
currently held by Karen Stupples. 19-under, Karen was in 2004 at | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
Sunningdale. I was there, I remember it well. I will never forget the | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
start she had. It was an eagle, albatross, whatever it was, | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
something ridiculous. What a stress and strain on Mirim Lee. Up to it. | :23:47. | :23:56. | |
It keeps her arrival in view. But only just in view. She is just round | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
the bend, up ahead. Creeping away now, Matthew. Played a perfect | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
layup. As Ken was saying, the firmness of | :24:09. | :24:26. | |
the bounce taking that on past. She drove almost into the thick stuff. | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
Had to chunk it forward. Leona Maguire has done the same number | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
nine. You see her following her swing down the hill. That is player | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
walk. Yes, the old master would be pleased with that. | :24:47. | :24:58. | |
It is the Lady's competition in Conway, North Wales. More about that | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
in a moment. They do take big divots. Stop, stop, stop. The ladies | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
and girls home internationals in North Wales, is an exciting time for | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
the club. Never been done before. The ladies and the girls | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
internationals, played at the same time, same place. Stacy Lewis. | :25:26. | :25:35. | |
Stoked a little bit. Working its way back behind the flag. Here is the | :25:36. | :25:48. | |
leader. What happened there? That little mosquito or fly will never | :25:49. | :25:58. | |
know how close they came... Doesn't it look nice, the trees in the | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
middle of the fairway. Most players go down the right, it is a bit wider | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
down there and it does give you a better angle if you are trying to | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
reach the two. She has put that in the woods. Mike hit one of the trees | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
and stop. Might be OK. Got away with it. They are lucky, these women. You | :26:22. | :26:37. | |
have to be good to be lucky. Driver. The fairways are also trying out. | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
She doesn't want to go down the right. If she really clatters one, | :26:43. | :26:52. | |
she could go too far. 282 go at the end. Close to the edge of the woods. | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
Bounding down. Got away with it. Jolly combination. Catriona Matthew | :27:01. | :27:34. | |
with a birdie putt at the 7th. Not quite the legs. | :27:35. | :27:44. | |
Leona Maguire, Irish amateur. She is rattling in a few long one. That | :27:45. | :27:55. | |
would have gone in if it had a little more beef behind it. Out in | :27:56. | :28:09. | |
par, one bogey, one birdie. 7-under, nice golf. | :28:10. | :28:20. | |
Mo Martin. Her chance the birdie now on seven. Might have had a bit of | :28:21. | :28:37. | |
help from Catriona Matthew's. It is a good line. Good putt. She has done | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
a couple of those. Only seven holes gone. She looks as if she meant it, | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
too. Both these players in possession of | :28:49. | :29:09. | |
one major. Both of them former winners of this title. Catriona | :29:10. | :29:19. | |
Matthew is giving this a lot of looks. It's one of those funny | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
distances. As you look down at the ball, you can see the whole out of | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
the corner of your eye. It can be a distraction if you are a little bit | :29:31. | :29:35. | |
twitchy. That's a good view. Let's see how it goes. Right in the | :29:36. | :29:36. | |
middle. Jutanugarn is enjoying a six shot | :29:37. | :29:58. | |
lead at the moment. This is her third British Open Championship. | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
This time last year, Sheila Turnberry, having missed her tenth | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
consecutive cut and she was in pieces. -- she left. Did know what | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
she was going to do. Started working with Gary Gilchrist, head coach and | :30:14. | :30:24. | |
then she had this little pre-shot smile, helped calm her down. And | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
here we are. Nothing else, the total ingredient. How fortunes can change | :30:30. | :30:37. | |
in a year. Confidence. You have got to have skill, you need certain | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
ingredients to be a great champion. Playing with desire but not enough | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
nerve. Plenty of skill but no desire. It is a mixed bag. You | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
wouldn't fancy a shot through there. Exit down the left at the bottom of | :30:54. | :31:02. | |
the trees. It looked like she was eyeing up a Guinness book of record | :31:03. | :31:03. | |
shot through the trees. But no. 206 yards, not a bad lie, could be | :31:04. | :31:17. | |
better. If she flies it at the flag it is liable to scoot to the back of | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
the green so difficult to get close. Try to get it close but that's not | :31:23. | :31:26. | |
easy either as there is a big bank at the front of the green. Looked | :31:27. | :31:35. | |
like a nice shot, is it online? Just pushed a bit right, bunker. | :31:36. | :31:52. | |
She gave that a real rattle, cannot believe how far past it's gone. | :31:53. | :32:14. | |
Difficult when you are in the chasing bunch, pressing, pressing. | :32:15. | :32:19. | |
STUDIO: And they will have to keep pressing because look at this, six | :32:20. | :32:29. | |
shots the difference. A long way back here, she is ensuring, is | :32:30. | :32:37. | |
Jutanugam, towards a record score in a women's major. You mention | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
19-under which was achieved by Karrie Webb earlier in this | :32:41. | :32:49. | |
Championships history, 19 is the record low, it's been achieved a few | :32:50. | :32:56. | |
times before. She is getting ever closer. We might have some history | :32:57. | :33:03. | |
here. COMMENTATOR: It is worthy of a bit of history. An amazing complex. | :33:04. | :33:13. | |
That little bit of aggression, trying to force something out of the | :33:14. | :33:20. | |
golf course, you kick yourself when you walk off with a dropped shot. | :33:21. | :33:28. | |
Didn't she make that looks simple? Just a little easy swing up, 12, 14 | :33:29. | :33:53. | |
foot for birdie. I have really enjoyed watching her, it's the first | :33:54. | :33:57. | |
time I have seen her in the flesh, I walked a few holes with her in the | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
practice round and had a chat. So impressive. This lady is impressive | :34:02. | :34:11. | |
as well, Martin. At the 8th. She has outgunned all the way, got a series | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
of whiplike wooden headed clubs, all sorts of magic little tools. She is | :34:17. | :34:23. | |
playing superbly. She is using what ammunition she has two the fullest | :34:24. | :34:31. | |
advantage, very impressive. They have seen it all before you know. I | :34:32. | :34:37. | |
remember seeing Lee Trevino here, oh boy could he play! | :34:38. | :34:48. | |
163 yards. All the par-3s in slightly different directions so you | :34:49. | :35:06. | |
get slightly different winds that is very unlike Catriona. I fancy she's | :35:07. | :35:15. | |
in the bunker. Here is another one in the bunker. Nice lie, bit of | :35:16. | :35:23. | |
green to land the ball on. Should be manageable. Played it nicely, will | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
it run up? It's doing pretty well. The girl has been very impressive | :35:29. | :35:41. | |
hasn't she? Look at this bunker shot. The edge of the bunker, like | :35:42. | :35:51. | |
the kerbstone. She is all five foot below the green so you have two hit | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
it hard enough but make sure you follow through. The sand throws the | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
ball up and out. Chance for birdie. Looks like more bunker play coming | :35:59. | :36:08. | |
up. That was off the tee, her tee shot | :36:09. | :36:27. | |
there. That's OK. Pretty well advanced, quite a deep bunker. She | :36:28. | :36:35. | |
is very impressive. Yes, her twin is her caddy, Lisa. Two fine players. | :36:36. | :36:43. | |
Ireland have produced some wonderful players, men and women. Thank you | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
Peter! I go back a long time, I remember them with a great deal of | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
fondness. We are very lucky, and we have Padraig Harrington to thank for | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
starting the waterfall of major Championship winners. He played well | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
yesterday out in America as well. Putt for birdie. This isn't easy to | :37:04. | :37:10. | |
see the line. The green tilts to the front which is to her right. Slight | :37:11. | :37:16. | |
right-to-left movement which isn't easy to see. But no need to do | :37:17. | :37:22. | |
anything silly, just play nicely, with the lead she has. Just going to | :37:23. | :37:34. | |
stay right. No sweat at all. Very simple par on a dangerous hole. Been | :37:35. | :37:41. | |
a couple of eights on this whole this week. First major this year she | :37:42. | :37:53. | |
had eight two shot lead and blew it. Memories, memories. Not quite | :37:54. | :37:59. | |
running out for her. She has her a couple of very awkward | :38:00. | :38:13. | |
shots from just around the green. Back to the seventh. She needs to | :38:14. | :38:23. | |
pop this one in. Give her a bit of a boost. | :38:24. | :38:31. | |
No. The lead stays the same. Nothing is happening for her. She is | :38:32. | :38:39. | |
beginning to look just a shade discouraged. Just a shade. You could | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
tell by the way, all sorts of things. | :38:46. | :38:54. | |
The poppy putting stroke and a little bit of momentum building for | :38:55. | :39:01. | |
Mo Martin. Birdie on seven and eight. She moves into second place | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
on her own at 13-under. They are long putts as well. Not to dollars. | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
Yes and she did miss peddler earlier. Catriona. She had a couple | :39:13. | :39:28. | |
of shorter putts, but this is ten, 12 feet? That sort of thing, maybe a | :39:29. | :39:35. | |
bit more. She has been putting superbly this week. She has a | :39:36. | :39:42. | |
comfortable style. If you look, it's almost textbook, simple | :39:43. | :39:56. | |
Up ahead on the ninth. Lewis. Just tipped over the end of the fairway. | :39:57. | :40:25. | |
Should sweep around a little bit to be slightly more helpful. That was a | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
nice little kick and spin. The pre-shot smile. There we go. I | :40:32. | :40:48. | |
find that fascinating. I am enjoying it, I like it. 7-iron from 163, I | :40:49. | :40:55. | |
hope she is enjoying it because it is enjoyable to watch. Up you go. | :40:56. | :41:03. | |
Very safe. Very professional. Just got a moment, would like to | :41:04. | :41:20. | |
remember Sir Richard George who died this year, the Weetabix man who | :41:21. | :41:23. | |
sponsored this tournament for 20 years. He had real faith in the | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
ladies game and would be delighted to see what is going on here, the | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
ladies game has come so far. Great supporter, he and his company. It | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
was his brother who was so interested in Leicester Cricket | :41:38. | :41:40. | |
club, Leicester football club I should say who have done so | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
brilliantly. Nice when you get the sort of connections. Sit down. Nice | :41:45. | :41:47. | |
shot. Here is one of the few players who | :41:48. | :42:06. | |
is making any inroads. You see what I mean about the club looking huge | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
question mark looks as if it's six inches too long for her. It's | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
amazing how she swings it round, times it beautifully. It's going to | :42:15. | :42:22. | |
go out, just going to reach the rough. Steady on. | :42:23. | :42:32. | |
3-wood for Catriona. Good shot they cried. It. Virtually stone dead. A | :42:33. | :43:09. | |
banana, oh. Little chip from the front of the green. The amateur out | :43:10. | :43:16. | |
of the bunker, hit the tee shot into the bunker, good shot out to hear. | :43:17. | :43:24. | |
Chip and run, looks good. A touch unfortunate, I thought that was | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
going to run right to the whole. -- hole. Philomena Garvey, there is a | :43:30. | :43:41. | |
name from the past. Yes, great Irish player. Lexi Thompson, down quite | :43:42. | :43:50. | |
ridge. Not coming left to right as she expected. Came a little bit a | :43:51. | :44:04. | |
little later. Leona Maguire. She has parted quite beautifully thus far. | :44:05. | :44:12. | |
-- putted. She is looking to become the third Irish winner, it was won | :44:13. | :44:22. | |
in 1996 and 1984. She would join our list of illustrious names. | :44:23. | :44:33. | |
Bit like Bernie the ball is in Peter? CHUCKLES | :44:34. | :44:42. | |
Up a bit, did a bit, left a bit, right a bit, fire. Oh, you have | :44:43. | :44:44. | |
missed it. If she takes that line she's got to | :44:45. | :44:56. | |
hit it quite slowly otherwise I think it might just stay on the high | :44:57. | :44:58. | |
side. Two putts will do. Just slowed up. No sweat is it? | :44:59. | :45:19. | |
Everything is coming nice and easy. It's great to watch, in complete | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
command of her game. And the sun has come out, so that's nice. Look at | :45:25. | :45:31. | |
this contact, watch the ball, doesn't roll at all. Still skidding, | :45:32. | :45:39. | |
then it starts to turn. Like a car wheels that always appear to be | :45:40. | :45:47. | |
going backwards. She has may written on the golf ball, that is her family | :45:48. | :45:56. | |
nickname. Did you have a nickname? I was called that so by my family for | :45:57. | :45:59. | |
years. You wouldn't be allowed to do it these days but then nobody | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
bothered, it never bothered me. -- I was called fatso by my family for | :46:05. | :46:09. | |
years. Good line but no beef. Holes are | :46:10. | :46:13. | |
running out. From the shadow on the ninth, Stacy | :46:14. | :46:55. | |
Lewis cleaning up. Out in 35, 1-under. Got herself into double | :46:56. | :47:03. | |
figures. Nice looking card but she seems to have wasted or dropped | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
quite a few shots. Could be going very well. Jutanugam is just not | :47:08. | :47:15. | |
giving any encouragement. They will be watching the scoreboard closely, | :47:16. | :47:18. | |
trying to detect if there is any weakness. I remember first time, | :47:19. | :47:25. | |
early pictures of Jack Nicklaus, he seemed to have an inevitability | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
about him and she seems to have the same. Matthew, she need something to | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
happen. You need a touch of magic, a bit of luck, a bit of something. | :47:35. | :47:40. | |
That might have stopped, might have spun back, might have done this or | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
that. It was fired right at the flag, she hasn't really got what she | :47:46. | :47:48. | |
deserved from the strike of the shot. No. No. It's a game of, such a | :47:49. | :48:02. | |
fine game, all games are fine. I like to follow the darts and I think | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
they are quite magical the way they can, the consistency of score. Got | :48:08. | :48:16. | |
the trousers off now! Ready to crack one onto the ninth. Downhill, bit of | :48:17. | :48:25. | |
a fluffy lie. This surely can't stop, if she lacks it properly it | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
will go to the back of the green. -- if she hits it properly. | :48:30. | :48:38. | |
Sounded a bit clumpy. One big leap through the back. It's a bit of a | :48:39. | :48:49. | |
tactical error to run out of fairway they are and not becoming of the | :48:50. | :48:52. | |
short stuff, especially with that flag position today. Behind them, | :48:53. | :49:11. | |
waiting to drive, the final pair. I was talking about Blairgowrie, I was | :49:12. | :49:19. | |
up there last week, the majesty of this place, Blairgowrie has got it. | :49:20. | :49:26. | |
A touch of class about it. Jesse Valentine country. Lovely park | :49:27. | :49:36. | |
there. Rosemount. The 40th anniversary of the Lansdowne course | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
which has come on in leaps and bounds. You can see from the | :49:42. | :49:49. | |
scoreboard how the lead has been stretched. Something serious has to | :49:50. | :49:57. | |
happen to catch this lady. She is playing well, this is up the par | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
four, very generous wide fairway that runs away from you. | :50:03. | :50:17. | |
Jack Nicklaus used to play this sort of game. You felt somehow when they | :50:18. | :50:24. | |
were in full swing they were like a giant tank that was just going to | :50:25. | :50:31. | |
swish through everything. 20 years of age or whatever she is, she has | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
got a great time ahead. As we look at Mirim. Not a fairway you to miss, | :50:36. | :50:50. | |
this one. Did it stay on? Yes, going down the left, it's all right, tell | :50:51. | :50:56. | |
me, do you have the kernel with you? We sure do, he's walking down the | :50:57. | :51:03. | |
right of the night. 14 years with us giving us information from the | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
fairway, how far they are from the green, it's his final day, we might | :51:08. | :51:12. | |
get a shot of him. You cannot miss him. He's like the tortoise done | :51:13. | :51:17. | |
their here, he is everywhere but he never seems to move. He has been | :51:18. | :51:24. | |
with me many rounds and we've had a lot of laughs. They've done a | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
tremendous, taking their lead from the Army to come and support the | :51:32. | :51:38. | |
golf. I shall miss them. There he is. Death is a post, but look at | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
him, only goes. -- death is Mo Martin really needs to get down | :51:45. | :52:11. | |
into mac here, just to keep this little bit of momentum that she has | :52:12. | :52:18. | |
going -- in two here. We have seen a few shots from this side and they | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
get to the hole and then it speeds up, if she gets this within three | :52:23. | :52:30. | |
feet it will be a nice touch. That short, quick putting stroke, needs | :52:31. | :52:38. | |
to go a bit. She's done it. That is sweet, that is very sweet indeed. | :52:39. | :52:50. | |
You are saying about this girl three years she played on the second | :52:51. | :52:57. | |
later, five years or more? Her career has been a bit of a slow burn | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
compared to some players, she has been out on the LPGA Tour, this is | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
her fifth year. The high point so far was winning the British. As we | :53:10. | :53:16. | |
go back to another former champion. Long birdie attempt and that's a | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
very good putt as well. A wonderful professional, Catriona | :53:21. | :53:38. | |
Matthew. Not mercurial but has made a good living. When I started the | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
game you went into it to make a living and hopefully you ended up a | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
professional add a nice club and you were OK. Now of course they all want | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
to be number one in the world, the life of a club professional is about | :53:54. | :53:59. | |
forgotten. She is tiptoeing up this year to passing $10 million in | :54:00. | :54:05. | |
career earnings so it has served her very nicely. You have got to be | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
taxed or don't you, that takes and a blight of it. -- takes and the ball | :54:10. | :54:17. | |
out of it. This is just as important as the big long ones she has holed. | :54:18. | :54:29. | |
She is doing very, very nicely, thank you. Just the one dropped shot | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
at the 4th. The final pair. Both in good shape. | :54:35. | :54:52. | |
Lovely golf hole, this. The green sits way below the players for the | :54:53. | :54:57. | |
second shot. This is a bit awkward, with the tree and the wind of the | :54:58. | :55:05. | |
left. 165 yards, dangerous pin to go at. Ideally you have two land to the | :55:06. | :55:11. | |
left of it, anything right is a mistake. She groaned. Clipped the | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
tree and virtually dropped dead. A danger. Just nudged it, but enough | :55:18. | :55:27. | |
to take everything out of it. The strike seemed to be OK. Crisp, up | :55:28. | :55:38. | |
she goes. I don't know if our cameraman are so brilliant, it just | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
went out of you. You are better position. This won't be going... Too | :55:43. | :56:01. | |
far off the pin. A rare error. Slightly pushed, one bounce and into | :56:02. | :56:11. | |
trouble. No way she was aiming at that pin, are trying to take it on. | :56:12. | :56:18. | |
Far too tactically aware to do that. Just a little bit of a pushed shot. | :56:19. | :56:25. | |
Missed three greens yesterday and got up and down every time. Stacy | :56:26. | :56:35. | |
Lewis. 10-under. Out in 35, one dropped shot, two birdies. Good | :56:36. | :56:37. | |
shot. Bowled, unlucky. -- oh, unlucky. | :56:38. | :57:18. | |
Catriona Matthew. Not using the driver by the look of things. Club | :57:19. | :57:23. | |
with a little bit of loft on for position. One of the many holes here | :57:24. | :57:33. | |
where if you can get a bit of sheep, a bit dogleg left to right right to | :57:34. | :57:37. | |
left, ordered tree on the corner which can influence you. Seems happy | :57:38. | :57:45. | |
enough yes. This is an awfully difficult shot, | :57:46. | :58:01. | |
green above you, nothing to land it on. She will do well to keep this on | :58:02. | :58:14. | |
the green. Just as you said, Ken. She was on a hiding to nothing. Once | :58:15. | :58:28. | |
she clipped the tree. Just made the mistake at the wrong time, really. | :58:29. | :58:39. | |
Unlucky to clip the branch. It's like when you're playing in hot | :58:40. | :58:46. | |
countries and you just touch a Palm, you think you can get through, it | :58:47. | :58:52. | |
just touches it and it drops stone dead. That ball fell out of the sky. | :58:53. | :58:58. | |
Looking for pitch marks but I think the green is to step mac. How is it | :58:59. | :59:06. | |
down in the bunker. This select is 12 feet high. She had to say to | :59:07. | :59:13. | |
herself I am going to give myself 25, 30 five feet four par. Don't be | :59:14. | :59:27. | |
greedy. That's pretty good. Better than pretty good. We talk about her | :59:28. | :59:38. | |
long game but her short game skills this week have been exceptional as | :59:39. | :59:39. | |
well. Mo Martin. Long chip and run. It's not over, | :59:40. | :00:20. | |
not over for Harriet. Easy to take three from here. -- for her yet. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
After a really good tee shot, six would be horrid. Nice lie, just a | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
basic back foot pitching wedge, shunt it forward. Sounded a little | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
scruffy. It's doing well, Ken. Good judge of pace. | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
Don't you just love these slow motion, I love them. Up she goes. | :00:54. | :01:07. | |
Ken, I don't know if you've managed to get a look at this putt, but it's | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
so difficult to read. I have seen some putts miss from the right, some | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
from the left. They just wander off in both directions. Let's have a | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
really good look. These seem to be, as it was coming down the slope, | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
drifting towards the right. Let's see where the Caddy points. He has | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
his green reading book out. And a compass. Here he goes. Here he goes. | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
And a weedy board and everything. Doing a fantastic job, Peter. | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
Everything he says, she is convinced he is right. If you have got that | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
trust, it is a terrific settler but the mind. Is he a regular, he sounds | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
like a south London boy. I will find out where he's from. Yes, find out, | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
he might be one of us. This would be amazing. The pace was perfect. Good | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
shout, Maureen. Pace and speed. You could have a dozen putts, like the | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
final putt Sandy Lyle hold at the Masters. You could have it a hundred | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
times and it would go a different way. Sometimes they go left, | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
sometimes they go right. She marches of. Don't forget your partner. Or | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
you're playing companion of the day. I think it might be a comfort stop. | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
Tidied away by Mirim Lee. But it is an untidy front nine of 39. The | :03:05. | :03:20. | |
first signs of some frailty by Jutanugarn. Stacy Lewis! Running | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
back to her. Really good hole location. Sarcasm is the first | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
refuge for frustrated golfers. But she is running out of chances, seven | :03:35. | :03:47. | |
behind. Tee-shots and the difference between Catriona Matthew and Mo | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
Martin. Martin was 210 off the tee. Coming in from 134, or so. She is so | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
accurate, usually. Once again, I have given her the big build-up. | :04:01. | :04:13. | |
Good swing again. She doesn't disappoint, but that hops on a | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
little bit. Only four behind now. You know, you think about the putt | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
of about a foot or so she missed earlier. I know, he is Leona Maguire | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
and I see a lot of similarity in Mo Martin and Leona Maguire's games. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Similar build. A little unlucky there from Leona Maguire. Very good | :04:39. | :04:50. | |
shot. Twin sister, Lisa. Catriona Matthew, can she get her round going | :04:51. | :05:03. | |
again? 113 yards to the pin. Get down. | :05:04. | :05:15. | |
Stacy Lewis. The long hitters can just about get home here in two. But | :05:16. | :05:28. | |
that is going into the trees. Oh, it has done all right. That will be a | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
bit of a chess moves down the fairway. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Straight par this one. 344 yards. Hello, it's not going right, is it? | :05:41. | :05:58. | |
It is. There is a bunker down there, but 230 off the tee. It did bounce | :05:59. | :06:08. | |
twice before it disappeared. Slightly errant shot. One at the | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
8th. Just a few signs, an inkling all is not quite right with cucumber | :06:16. | :06:16. | |
gone. -- Jutanugarn. Can see Telus of Alice doing a | :06:17. | :06:43. | |
promotional video- Milton Keynes, my kind of town? | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
I have been staying in Milton Keynes and I have enjoyed it. What a lovely | :06:48. | :06:58. | |
place. There is the situation. Ariya Jutanugarn will be going to Rio in a | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
couple of weeks. 41 out of the 60 in the field, who will be competing in | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Rio where here this week at Welburn. Incidentally, Andrew will appreciate | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
this, if Jutanugarn were to win the Gold Medal, she would be the first | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
female Olympic champion for Thailand since 2008. The last one was a | :07:21. | :07:34. | |
weightlifter, and you will remember, Andrew because you are commentating? | :07:35. | :07:46. | |
Yes, it was tricky, her name. It was phonetically spelled-out. Catriona | :07:47. | :08:10. | |
Matthew, now. Very good. Does nobody remember the promotional videos for | :08:11. | :08:11. | |
Birmingham. Leona Maguire, Lisa just shaking her | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
head at her. Nothing to do with me, that putt. Mo Martin, second place | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
at the moment. Can she put the squeeze on even more? Needs to keep | :08:27. | :08:37. | |
going. That was wonderfully judged. Look at it. I think that's the hole | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
location that Stacy Lewis was talking about. It is obviously on a | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
pretty severe slope. Doesn't look like it there but Catriona Matthew's | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
ball ran on and Mo Martin's ball didn't look like it was going to get | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
there. There is an extra pace or so in the greens now that we didn't see | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
earlier in the week. The greens are so segmented, you can have some | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
really, really testing flag positions. Looking at the 10th hole, | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
which in distance, isn't huge. 344 yards. But certainly averaging over | :09:19. | :09:28. | |
par. Lots of bogeys. Par putt here for Catriona Matthew. | :09:29. | :09:43. | |
That was very well done. That took some nerve. If these players are not | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
to catch the leader, all these shots now, as they vie for a high finish, | :09:51. | :09:59. | |
worth a great deal of money. Graham was talking about it there, Catriona | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
Matthew's Husband saying how quickly the ball went away as it went past | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
the hole. Mo Martin, has looked like it was going to come up short, but | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
kept on going. The Caddy is discussing that flag as | :10:19. | :10:37. | |
well as they left the green. There we can see Jutanugarn, first missed | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
fairway in some considerable time. You have plenty of space up there. | :10:42. | :11:02. | |
The left edge of the tower. Commit to it. 149 yards. Fortunately she | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
has gone far enough in the bunker to be flat. Shouldn't be anything but a | :11:14. | :11:29. | |
lovely lie. From one patch of sand to another. But it all depends on | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
the lie. If it is clean, it shouldn't be too much problem to | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
her. Little wind just puffing up into the face. 132 the Mirim Lee. | :11:45. | :11:57. | |
Wonderful golf shot by Mirim Lee. Searching for her first birdie of | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
the afternoon. Mo Martin, the par-5. This approach | :12:03. | :12:29. | |
has worked by her, birdieing it a couple of times so far. Get a good | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
look at this. APPLAUSE | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
She knows it is a full three shots. Played it as such. | :12:46. | :13:20. | |
APPLAUSE Straight over the bunker 's Catriona | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
Matthew. Then get a big shoot forward. It is a big, big drive. She | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
is not known for that, but it is well within striking distance. She | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
can be sneaky long. She doesn't look like a player who can hit it too | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
far, until you start walking out of it. -- after it. The good view of | :13:46. | :13:53. | |
what is facing Stacy Lewis. Normally dynamite with these wedges. Just a | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
little upslope to the flag. That was a better shot than the result has | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
indicated. The ability to whip the club under the ball to get them to | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
stop a little quicker, if you wanted them to. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
APPLAUSE Lovely shot. Great shot from | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
Jutanugarn. Big shot, trying to avoid back-to-back bogeys and will | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
do with that escape. Hasn't played the hole well, or hadn't until this | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
shot. Was lying nicely, fairly straightforward, but still had to be | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
done. The board just exploded in a cushion of sand. -- the ball. | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
Particularly with such a tricky green. | :14:51. | :15:02. | |
We can have a look at this flag, I can see why it is difficult. A | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
little ridge that runs where the flag is cut. Stacy Lewis was | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
expressing her displeasure. That was after a massive horseshoe, so you | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
would feel that way. But from the side, it can run a long way past the | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
hole. Mirim Lee is close enough, but it is tricky. Just enough movement | :15:30. | :15:39. | |
from the left, you have two guide it in. | :15:40. | :15:51. | |
Little singer of the knees with relief as it drops. Mirim Lee, picks | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
one up. First birdie of the day. Five behind her playing partner. And | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
you might have seen from the graphic, Helen has joined us again. | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
Is ready to give us some expertise. Yes, try to. Here is this American | :16:16. | :16:24. | |
group, trying to push each other along. Lexi Thompson has stalled | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
with a couple of drop shots. You would think that Stacy Lewis was | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
getting her game in decent shape. We have seen some big shaving of the | :16:40. | :16:48. | |
holes, she hasn't got a lot of putts going her way. Looking a little | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
grumpy. Nothing new. Frustration for her. Looking to get something going, | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
hoping Jutanugarn will come back slightly. One dropped shot on the | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
night. Sometimes the frustrating thing is, when you feel you are | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
striking the ball better, the putting is better but the numbers | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
don't show it. 1-under par, Lydia Ko. 74 the her. Frustrating for the | :17:23. | :17:35. | |
world number one. Stacy Lewis, then. None of them is giving Jutanugarn a | :17:36. | :17:45. | |
run for her money. Not putting any pressure on her. Karrie Webb, second | :17:46. | :18:04. | |
to the 12th is par for, into a semi island. If you can have a semi | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
island. Then poke it to the back like that. Beautiful shot from | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
Karrie Webb. One of the best ball strikers I have ever seen in this | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
game, during my time. Lexi Thompson, just to finish off for a part here. | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
-- par. You would think this golf course would suit her very nicely | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
with the way she hits her shots. Be able to get to these pins. Catriona | :18:36. | :18:47. | |
Matthew, 280 yards. Got a huge amount of run. That is possibly 242. | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
Possibly with the shape, get this one home. It started out right. If | :18:55. | :19:09. | |
she can get a good bounce. Would be great if she could get a few birdies | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
here and on the back nine. This is where the tournament starts. Started | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
off so well, Catriona Matthew, two birdies in the first four holes. | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
Then tailed off since. Karrie Webb, she was in pretty close as well. | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
Ha-Na Jang is already in. Karrie Webb for a birdie. That ends that | :19:38. | :19:56. | |
Faldo looking run of pars. We are talking Thailand weightlifters. Are | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
you changing sport here? Absolutely. Mirim Lee on the tracer. Maybe | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
straight over the bunkers, Ken? It is virtually straight into them of | :20:15. | :20:24. | |
the left. She got a hold of that one. The frustration, maybe it could | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
turn into a little bit of anger. One of the few times, a club with the | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
head cover. It is best where she uses an iron. Going down the left, | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
it is not the widest angle, the trees do hangover. She gives the | :20:52. | :21:01. | |
impression she has come off a little bit. It is down the middle, slightly | :21:02. | :21:13. | |
low in the face strike. Safe enough. I think for hitting it so long and | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
with so much power, she is very straight. Granted, she's not using | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
her driver, but he is Mo Martin, going extremely nicely. She just | :21:26. | :21:39. | |
took a 3-wood, Mo Martin. She knows she can't get there in two. Play | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
your way down to the hole and hopefully find a putt. Stacy Lewis | :21:46. | :21:58. | |
on the 12th. Just clearing the water. The pin is nicely on the left | :21:59. | :22:07. | |
side. More accessible as we just saw Karrie Webb hit a very nice shot. | :22:08. | :22:20. | |
Studio-macro reminder of the situation. It is Ariya Jutanugarn, | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
leading this with a four shot advantage. When you think of all the | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
golfers from Thailand before her. The men's golf Majors have carried | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
their hopes, but nobody has managed to land one of these big events in | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
goal. Kvist 20-year-old from Bangkok be the person to do it for her | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
country? Wonderful views we are having from the aeroplane circling | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
above will burn. Catriona Matthew and the par-5. Up and down for a | :23:04. | :23:13. | |
birdie. She would love to have a birdie. Little short. She thought it | :23:14. | :23:22. | |
was going to run off a little bit more. But it has stalled. The greens | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
have dried up quite a bit. Find it very interesting. The top players, | :23:32. | :23:42. | |
one is the longest and one is the shortest. There is no right way to | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
play this game. We were saying earlier, it is an entirely different | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
course Mo Martin is having to play, coming from a lot further back. | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
Deadly accurate. Although putting earlier, she missed that very, very | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
sure putt. It was on the 5th hole. Her putting has not felt as | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
comfortable. She is stabbing it a little bit. But who is to say that | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
when she is lying second in the British Open here. Obviously she is | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
doing something very right. She looks very comfortable in the longer | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
putts. Has wonderful pace. She looks more comfortable today than she did | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
yesterday. She was a bit edgy and hitting shots that were not like | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
her. But today she has really been like a laser. | :24:48. | :25:07. | |
Just need to get it there. Little bit of a misread. Great distance. | :25:08. | :25:38. | |
It wasn't the tidiest tee shot from Stacy Lewis, but can almost get away | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
with it with the pin back left. Muttering away there. That was a | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
very nice shot. She couldn't have hit it any better. It is a tough | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
shot into this rough that has now dried off and it is easy to get a | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
flyer. The 12th hole at the top of your picture. Just beside it, | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
Catriona Matthew. That was a misread and Miss/ as well. Something went | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
entirely wrong. Not going to happen for Catriona Matthew today. She has | :26:21. | :26:34. | |
been aiming a little bit to far right and trying to pull it back in. | :26:35. | :26:46. | |
Karrie Webb who has broken her endless run of pars with a birdie on | :26:47. | :26:58. | |
the 12th. Such a tidy looking swing. Has been thrown off course. That is | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
a little bit strange from her. Quite short, even though she knows it is | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
very bouncy. She needed a few more yards. Otherwise from Matt Green it | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
will bounce left on her, leaving her with a very tough putt. This has | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
caused a little bit of a problem for Mo Martin, earlier today. Let's hope | :27:25. | :27:38. | |
she is all over that. She got it in. Still lying second on 13-under. Four | :27:39. | :27:46. | |
shots off the lead. Off they go to the short par 12. Wander through the | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
trees. Waiting for another slip from | :27:52. | :28:08. | |
Jutanugarn. Mo Martin, her closest pursuer. Mirim Lee, let's fly. But | :28:09. | :28:23. | |
where is it of two. Very tricky chip, up over the bunker. Not the | :28:24. | :28:33. | |
ideal place. Jutanugarn, little bit short, but good position. Look at | :28:34. | :28:46. | |
this swing for us, Helen. Great extension. Very nice, follow the | :28:47. | :28:57. | |
path. Her big problem sometimes is that she gets a little quick with | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
the hips. Coming off a little bit, hanging back. And then getting the | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
arms around her body. Her left arm stays straight. When she hits good | :29:09. | :29:16. | |
shots, she tends to get her left arm closer to her body. It is the shot | :29:17. | :29:26. | |
we see every time she is missing. Ken Brown's hat just floating out of | :29:27. | :29:33. | |
shot. He made it himself. Then that is very impressive. Mo Martin. | :29:34. | :29:48. | |
Telling it to sit. She is getting a little bit to the right. Compared | :29:49. | :29:56. | |
with previous days. That would have been the toughest light, but now the | :29:57. | :30:07. | |
pin is left. That semi island is firm and fast, that would be very | :30:08. | :30:12. | |
tricky. Low running shots. You can almost run out of ground. She has to | :30:13. | :30:19. | |
be concerned over the first water. That is the problem when you are not | :30:20. | :30:30. | |
as long. Catriona Matthew, 3-wood. This really came of that one. One of | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
those shots she gets sometimes. We seen it a couple of times yesterday. | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
A little bit lucky. Always nice when you can see it. | :30:42. | :30:49. | |
Up ahead on the green, Stacy Lewis. She was down the right-hand side, | :30:50. | :31:02. | |
beautiful shot to hear. Another one. You can also hear her frustration. | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
Giving herself so a lot of chances but not being able to capitalise on | :31:09. | :31:10. | |
them. Europe to take a chance to get it | :31:11. | :31:42. | |
close. Very nicely played. As good as I | :31:43. | :32:03. | |
could imagine someone could hit it, you have to get it over the green, | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
over the bunker and then stop it quickly. Very nicely done. Could not | :32:09. | :32:16. | |
have laid this up in a better spot. She went with the 3-wood. She knew | :32:17. | :32:23. | |
she could reach. Interesting little chip she has got, little ballet to | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
go through, it will turn quite hard to the right. -- little valley. | :32:29. | :32:35. | |
Always looks like she stands quite a long way from the ball for these | :32:36. | :32:45. | |
little chips. It sounded a little thin, Ken. But still left herself a | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
pretty nice birdie opportunity there. | :32:52. | :32:59. | |
Karrie Webb, long putt. Outside chance of birdie. Outside chance or | :33:00. | :33:17. | |
not, it drops, Karrie Webb with back-to-back threes, back-to-back | :33:18. | :33:28. | |
birdies, moves to 10-under. That is why you can never give up in this | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
game, you never know when they are going to show up. Nice long putt, | :33:33. | :33:38. | |
chippe in, a bunker shot, get the throttle on. | :33:39. | :34:00. | |
I think she's quite desperate to make something happen. Here on the | :34:01. | :34:11. | |
back nine. Just to get a little bit of confidence back. Would be very | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
nice if she could make this. Got a bit of movement from the right-hand | :34:17. | :34:21. | |
side, not many easy pin positions. Not easy to make birdies coming in | :34:22. | :34:26. | |
without very high-quality iron shots. | :34:27. | :34:38. | |
There we are. Back-to-back birdies for Mirim Lee. And for the moment, | :34:39. | :34:48. | |
and might just be a moment, within four of her playing partner. That's | :34:49. | :34:56. | |
a virtual look down on the 12th, Catriona Matthew just getting away | :34:57. | :35:00. | |
with the loose tee shot. Mo Martin with a perfectly up. | :35:01. | :35:21. | |
Heart would have been in her mouth, very good now. Really flirted with | :35:22. | :35:31. | |
the water, didn't know exactly how far it was over that. Got away with | :35:32. | :35:39. | |
it. Deep breath for Jutanugam. The smile and off you go. | :35:40. | :35:51. | |
That's an opportunity missed. Mirim Lee gets one closer. She and Mo | :35:52. | :36:05. | |
Martin within four. And a par-5 with her distance, it will feel like half | :36:06. | :36:14. | |
shot gone. A four shot lead over seven holes is not enormous. It is | :36:15. | :36:22. | |
two bogeys and two birdies, it sounds a lot, but with the way Ariya | :36:23. | :36:29. | |
plays it is maybe a lot but a couple of mistakes and somebody makes | :36:30. | :36:36. | |
birdie, I never felt it was enough. When you are looking for your first | :36:37. | :36:41. | |
major as well, the heart will be fluttering now. Can Mo Martin could | :36:42. | :36:51. | |
even more pressure on? Just a little jab, it was a nice jab. Didn't look | :36:52. | :36:59. | |
too pretty, 52 yards, I think she would get up and down one out of | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
three times. Karrie Webb on her many birdie run. | :37:06. | :37:12. | |
I think this hole is very intimidating. Splendid iron play, | :37:13. | :37:25. | |
putting it in the perfect spot. She will still be believing she is | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
within second spot and you never know what's going to happen to the | :37:31. | :37:37. | |
leader. Stacy Lewis on that mark as well. We have seen that in history, | :37:38. | :37:39. | |
it is not over until it is over. We saw Karrie Webb also coming up a | :37:40. | :37:56. | |
little short. I think they need to be over that first part otherwise | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
it's going to kick dead left. It's going to end up being short, it's a | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
tough pin to get close to. Some good runs, not only made | :38:08. | :38:26. | |
anything here on the back. Hasn't made anything on the back. Mirim | :38:27. | :38:37. | |
Lee. Trying to find the ideal position back on the 12th tee. | :38:38. | :38:50. | |
Very nice layup, should give her a nice shot into the pin. The fairway | :38:51. | :39:04. | |
runs out at 260 yards. Big moment here for Mo Martin. | :39:05. | :39:17. | |
Not the greatest effort. Would have been nice to make that. Able to put | :39:18. | :39:26. | |
a little bit of pressure. Not far over the water but I suppose | :39:27. | :39:55. | |
that for her will be something like perhaps a four iron, 5-iron? STUDIO: | :39:56. | :40:06. | |
There has been some movement behind Jutanugam this afternoon, Mirim Lee | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
with back-to-back birdies at ten and 11, Karrie Webb up there as well at | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
12 and 13. Recent history in the women's Majors suggest there are | :40:16. | :40:18. | |
still some questions to answer for Jutanugam, she was two shots in | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
front with three to play in the first of the years Majors and had an | :40:24. | :40:28. | |
Adam Scott moment if you remember that, bogey on the last three holes. | :40:29. | :40:35. | |
Since then she has won three events back-to-back in May when she held | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
the 54 hole lead so she has proven her medal in that regard but funny | :40:40. | :40:44. | |
things can happen in last few holes as I'm sure you know. Charley Hull, | :40:45. | :40:53. | |
she had a fighting finish until coming unstuck with a double bogey | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
in the home stretch. But the good finish for the local girl. Mo Martin | :40:58. | :41:03. | |
knows how to win this. COMMENTATOR: Outwith the driver. | :41:04. | :41:47. | |
Matthew. Sweeps it away. There you see how tightly Martin took it down | :41:48. | :41:59. | |
the left-hand side to find the fairway. Matthew just slipping into | :42:00. | :42:08. | |
the rough. As we have seen it's a very tough hole to get to the pin | :42:09. | :42:15. | |
today. Here is number 12. The pin is quite nice today. | :42:16. | :42:28. | |
Just heard her caddy seeing the pin is on 79, two or three yards to the | :42:29. | :42:37. | |
right is the spot. Plenty of landing area, the most accessible pin on the | :42:38. | :42:39. | |
green. 79 yards is good yardage. Pretty much what she would have | :42:40. | :42:55. | |
expected there, looking to get within 15 feet from that distance. | :42:56. | :43:03. | |
She got a lot of help from her caddy, he is very on the ball, | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
reminding her to stay focused. I think sometimes we forget that. | :43:09. | :43:20. | |
Slightly higher flight, this looks rather nice. It certainly is. The | :43:21. | :43:31. | |
pressure might come from playing partner, Mirim Lee in close, | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
Jutanugam will feel the need to roll hers in. Just that one to pop in to | :43:36. | :43:44. | |
make it three in a row from Mirim Lee and after a front nine which was | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
an impressive she is getting it going. Stacy Lewis. | :43:49. | :43:57. | |
It is surely not her day, she has been very, very close. Thank you to | :43:58. | :44:09. | |
Helen, former winner here at Woburn who is off, but thank you for your | :44:10. | :44:12. | |
wise words over the four days. Karrie Webb. She thought she had | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
another one, I think we all did. Second to the final hole for So Yeon | :44:18. | :44:29. | |
Ryu. Back to the lily pond and the | :44:30. | :45:05. | |
prettiness of the 12. Up we go, two lovely second shots into this very | :45:06. | :45:10. | |
attractive green. Bit of putting to be done. This one a little bone | :45:11. | :45:17. | |
Hill, a bit of movement from the right. I think this is a big putt -- | :45:18. | :45:24. | |
downhill. Mirim Lee, when she gets a bit of a run going is not frightened | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
to make four or five birdies in a row. We were reminded that she was | :45:29. | :45:39. | |
ahead with only handful of hole 's left to play. This would not be the | :45:40. | :45:49. | |
end of the world, but it would be a good way to settle her nerves if she | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
could get this in. Four strokes ahead, everyone thinks you're going | :45:55. | :45:56. | |
to win but you don't. No, that was a bit twitchy. Don't | :45:57. | :46:06. | |
tell me they are human? Four, that's all right. Still a | :46:07. | :46:30. | |
little putting to do for the other one. Suddenly a little bit more | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
serious. Our well, not for long. This isn't so far is it? Beautiful | :46:37. | :46:53. | |
shot into this green. It's going to be a little tap in 43. -- for free. | :46:54. | :47:12. | |
So the gap narrows. It was eight to shot gap at the beginning of the day | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
but now only three. It was six at one stage. -- it was a two shot gap. | :47:17. | :47:30. | |
Short walk through the woods. There you have it. Trees on the corner. | :47:31. | :47:37. | |
Martin and Matthew, Matthew missing the fairway again, has not been | :47:38. | :47:41. | |
quite as accurate from the tee as she is on most occasions. Just a | :47:42. | :47:50. | |
little bit awkward. Stance and lie. She likes it. If it sits, it didn't. | :47:51. | :48:02. | |
Galloping away. Good indication of how segmented these greens are, if | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
you get it in the right portion you can have very reasonable birdie | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
opportunities. But easy to be taken away into 3-part range as we go to | :48:12. | :48:20. | |
14 and look at Stacy Lewis -- 3-putt range. | :48:21. | :48:33. | |
She will have our work cut out there to get down in two. She knows it. | :48:34. | :48:48. | |
Martin, second to the 13th. Looks simple enough doesn't it? Straight | :48:49. | :48:54. | |
at the flag, good, clean, straight hit. Up, up she cries. Drifting | :48:55. | :49:03. | |
away. Not bad. Quite the slope from right-to-left when you come into | :49:04. | :49:05. | |
this green. So Yeon Ryu has reached the 18th. | :49:06. | :49:26. | |
Former US Open champion. In fact that was her first win on the LPGA. | :49:27. | :49:32. | |
Another player to make her first big victory very victory. -- her first | :49:33. | :49:47. | |
big victory a very big victory. Quite a roly-poly green, slow, long | :49:48. | :49:58. | |
curves on this 18th green. Needs to turn quickly. Doing its best. Pretty | :49:59. | :50:06. | |
good effort from such long-range. Let it go, crying for it to set. | :50:07. | :50:31. | |
Crash bang wallop what the picture. It's in the roots and the bits of | :50:32. | :50:39. | |
twigs and all sorts of stuff. She doesn't realise she's got away with | :50:40. | :50:45. | |
it, how much I don't know. Huge birdie attempt here from Matthew on | :50:46. | :50:46. | |
13. She gave that right box. Done very | :50:47. | :51:04. | |
well indeed, very well judged. She has displayed a silky touch this | :51:05. | :51:13. | |
week. Are a leader at the 13th with the favourite driving iron of | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
horrors. Blimey, she had that. There is no need to get cross, it's only a | :51:20. | :51:25. | |
game! We've all had a drink! Lucky, Lucky, Lucky, lucky. She has a three | :51:26. | :51:34. | |
shot lead but what we are watching is a player who is learning to cope | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
with the most severe pressure. She is new into her career, although won | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
this year for the first time and let a couple slip. We are watching the | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
morning of her mental skills here. -- the | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
He's got the basics but the rest is knackered. CHUCKLES | :51:56. | :52:26. | |
I think he's just testing if she will have room for a swing. So Yeon | :52:27. | :52:34. | |
Ryu, finishing off with 70. She always looks in a hurry, bustling | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
and busy, she goes, got a bus to catch. Love to talk but I've got to | :52:41. | :52:47. | |
go. Matthew after that very good effort from such long-range. Testing | :52:48. | :52:59. | |
one for par. We'll still see plenty of drama over the spinal have a | :53:00. | :53:07. | |
dozen or so holes. -- over these final half a dozen or so holes. | :53:08. | :53:15. | |
That's not the sort of drama the locals want to see. The same thing | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
happened yesterday, going along beautifully until she got to about | :53:21. | :53:26. | |
12, 13, 14, dropped two or three shots. Similar pattern today. | :53:27. | :53:43. | |
Stacy Lewis has left yourself a bit of a conundrum, eyeing this up down | :53:44. | :54:13. | |
the left-hand lane, the green should sweep the ball from left to right. | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
Just have to make the crest of the hill. Didn't pitch it quite far | :54:18. | :54:22. | |
enough. Didn't keep it enough left. Marten finishing off, to stay at | :54:23. | :54:38. | |
13-under and four behind. One left, one right. The leader may | :54:39. | :55:17. | |
be hampered by that big tree. She is just all right, just, she's got a | :55:18. | :55:21. | |
swing, but a little tree in front of her that will make this very | :55:22. | :55:22. | |
awkward. That looks all right. She has to | :55:23. | :55:42. | |
launch it to the right of the tree, right of the green and if it stays | :55:43. | :55:49. | |
right... Maybe she will go underneath it? That'll be the thing | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
to do, punch it down, keep it eight foot off the ground, no more, let it | :55:55. | :55:58. | |
run 40, 50 yards, like that, that could be good. Little scuttle to the | :55:59. | :56:05. | |
back of the green. Steady, it is racing on. Over the back she goes. | :56:06. | :56:17. | |
It's a steep bank, not much grass on it. You tend to hit those too hard. | :56:18. | :56:25. | |
Mirim Lee has been lucky with position but it's sitting on a | :56:26. | :56:29. | |
stick. When she's coming into the ball she will hit the step before | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
she hit the ball. We might get a deflection here, might. This is | :56:35. | :56:42. | |
tough, not sure what contact you're going to get. Where the flag is, | :56:43. | :56:49. | |
very awkward. Yes, good view of it now. It's almost running with her, | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
if you are a bit unlucky this good squirt over the body on the right | :56:55. | :57:01. | |
somewhere. Needs a bit of luck, bit of hit and hope here. Long chip and | :57:02. | :57:17. | |
run. That is a more gentle pace. Maybe an escape is looming. This | :57:18. | :57:26. | |
would be a spectacular up and down for Lewis to get this one home. No. | :57:27. | :57:32. | |
She knew the minute she hit it. Shot gone. Karrie Webb at the 15th. | :57:33. | :57:45. | |
10-under. Only had a couple of birdies, the rest pars. Umpteen | :57:46. | :57:55. | |
putts just scraping the edge of the hole. What a good player she has | :57:56. | :58:04. | |
been, 20 odd years. Looks like the 5-wood for Mo Martin. | :58:05. | :58:13. | |
Down the 15th, coming back, the long par-5. Catriona Matthew, nothing | :58:14. | :58:52. | |
really happened, got away to a good start again, a few of them have done | :58:53. | :58:59. | |
that. More difficult day to day, a couple of scores. A lot of 71s. | :59:00. | :59:22. | |
Very good from Catriona, using the big bank on the left-hand side, so | :59:23. | :59:29. | |
many of the players have been coming up short on this hole all week. A | :59:30. | :59:39. | |
bit of a long chip, or will she pitch it? Or will she go between? I | :59:40. | :59:48. | |
think a bit between. Steady, steady, steady. You lucky girl. By such | :59:49. | :59:56. | |
happenings fortunes can change. That was gone. | :59:57. | :00:03. | |
What I turn up for the book that was. You should be ashamed, hang | :00:04. | :00:14. | |
your head young lady. Move away and pretend not to smirk. | :00:15. | :00:27. | |
A body blow for your opponents who is facing less. -- this. It's | :00:28. | :00:38. | |
odds-on she loses one here. Decent lie. Oh my goodness. No! Kenneth, I | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
cannot bear to watch. It is very fast were she has left it. Tricky | :00:51. | :01:00. | |
Dicky. This is the moment, very good point made about the mental side of | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
it, now her brains the moment, not quite scrambled eggs but she hits | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
this, all my good god she is thinking, squirts off the clubhead, | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
racist past the flag -- races past the flag. Thinking of her opponent | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
hitting the flag and how lucky she was. Taking the glove off. Try to | :01:23. | :01:32. | |
keep calm. This is the stay in the moment, she needs to stay in the | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
moment whilst her opponents are trying to batter the door down and | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
get close to her. That just moved away at the last second. She has had | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
opting of those today. Still a very fine player. -- umpteen of those. | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
Not quite Martina Navratilova, but she still plays good tennis. I | :02:02. | :02:13. | |
watched her at Wimbledon playing the doubles. Interesting technique. That | :02:14. | :02:26. | |
is fast. Look at that go. Look at it go! Another two feet and it was 40 | :02:27. | :02:37. | |
feet away. This is where the caddy comes into play. He cannot do much, | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
can only quietly encourage. Meanwhile... I can report, Peter, | :02:43. | :02:59. | |
the caddy, Peter is from Slough. Nearly a south London boy. How long | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
has he been with her? I will have to ask him. If you are going to be a | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
detective, you will have to sniff about. I would leave it for five | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
minutes, Kenneth. No, now is a perfect time. He can see his bonus | :03:19. | :03:30. | |
getting less, and less. I don't want you to miss any more. Pop this one | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
in. Bit of a crunch time now for Jutanugarn. As quick as it was from | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
one side, this is slow. It is easy to see there is a bit of left to | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
right. Going to have to keep the pace on the ball. | :03:52. | :04:02. | |
I thought she had got it for a moment. | :04:03. | :04:31. | |
She needs this to maintain her lead. You get a bit lost for words. It is | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
all very well trying to be informative and jolly, whatever, but | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
this is like missing penalties are letting a ball go in, dropping a | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
catch, whatever sport. You have got it in the palm of your hand, | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
victory. You can feel it slipping away. That was ugly. That was ugly. | :04:57. | :05:14. | |
And then the lead was one. Just a handful of holes left. Have been | :05:15. | :05:27. | |
four or five people in the equation. Karrie Webb, she has holed a few | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
putts. Mo Martin, she can get down in two, she is still with it. Up the | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
hill. Very good. Well judged. Beautiful touch. She's got her | :05:44. | :05:55. | |
three. She is in the game ahead. Karrie Webb, up on 16, unaware of | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
the drama unfolding behind her. Short flag today. Only nine on. | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
Just a little slight misjudgement again. Matthew at the 14th. Good tee | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
shot. This is left to right. And pace. Pace is very important. That | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
looks to be too straight. No, it is a beauty. Beautiful putt. That was a | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
corker. There will be a few deep breaths | :06:37. | :06:51. | |
being taken on this tee at the moment. 181, pin tucked away and it | :06:52. | :07:07. | |
is impossible to get at it. 5-iron. Good swing. Good rhythm. Only way to | :07:08. | :07:20. | |
play the hole. Middle of the green, it will dribble away to the right. | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Get near the hole. We saw Catriona Matthew's ball moved six or seven | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
yards, closer to the flag. If you land it over the bunker, you've got | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
the downslope. Needs to gather herself together. This is a big test | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
for this young girl. Big, big, big test. | :07:45. | :07:53. | |
Watch her. She doesn't mind it. That is a cracker. That is a settler. | :07:54. | :08:11. | |
Absolute settler. Brilliant, brilliant shot after the happenings | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
on the last hole. Impassive. Come on! I can do this. | :08:20. | :08:26. | |
Ken is getting his information look. You've got another one of those | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
hats. Oh good god. I had to Catriona Matthew. -- ahead. | :08:35. | :08:44. | |
That looked like a very good swing. She looked like she put a bit more | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
beef into that one? The scores are changing around the course. The | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
other players who felt they had been getting nothing, no help from the | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
leader had just had a little over the last few holes. Stacy Lewis, I | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
don't know if she is in sand or just missed the bunker. In the sand. | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Nasty place to be, that is a mistake. Shouldn't be in there for | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
two. An impossible third. Now activity. -- back to the tee. | :09:23. | :09:34. | |
That's OK. Gentle nudge back to the centre of the fairway. She was | :09:35. | :09:53. | |
18-under. She looked completely in control. But in the last few | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
moments, it's all change. Ariya Jutanugarn with a lot of thinking to | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
do and a lot of composure to regain. Although that was an elegant tee. | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
Mirim Lee is in contention again. Lovely chip to the 13th green that | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
just caressed the pin and stock. Mo Martin, also within striking | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
distance and this last day has suddenly got very, very interesting. | :10:25. | :10:38. | |
COMMENTATOR: There is the scene, the galleries marching round. It is all | :10:39. | :10:51. | |
the holes marshalled by different golf clubs. This one is marshalled | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
by my home club. They can abandon the team now, the last group are | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
through. This is not easy. Uphill. Just where the caddy is, there is a | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
cape that runs into the green. She has to go over that and down the | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
other side. The line isn't easy to pick and pace is tricky. Over the | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
top of the hill and then let it release out. | :11:23. | :11:40. | |
Great effort. Almost as good as Mo Martin's was from a similar place a | :11:41. | :12:00. | |
few moments ago. Stacey Webb. This day see! Karrie Webb, it is. Having | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
a struggle up this 15th hole. It was a really classy tee shot of | :12:06. | :12:31. | |
Jutanugarn's after the bogey. Big moment if this could go in. It would | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
steady a lot of nerves. Not only has, but also her supporters'. Just | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
on the left edge. It is a nice three. The other one's not in yet. | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
It is a dangerous hole safely out of the way. | :12:53. | :13:10. | |
This is where you find out if all the work you've done has paid off. | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
Got to go through those setup routines you have worked on. Just go | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
through them and trust your stroke. A clear head. You have done it. | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
Smooth stroke, line it up. Don't twitch it. Good stroke. Another have | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
entered the final few. Looking at the scoring system. Sarah Jane | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
Smith, birdied two of the last three. Much can happen over the last | :13:55. | :14:14. | |
few holes. Well holed from Lewis. Karrie Webb at the 17th. Last of the | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
short holes. Bit angry with that, but it could be | :14:17. | :14:32. | |
a lot worse. Mo Martin, just factoring in any | :14:33. | :14:53. | |
adrenaline with her caddy. Little and large. Tiny tot and a big | :14:54. | :15:06. | |
monster. Good team though. Terrific. Flight it and just sit it. It is | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
perfect. Commit to the shot. Commit to the shot and all the other mumbo | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
jumbo. Good swing. Good strike. She gets a | :15:16. | :15:42. | |
bit of zip through the ball because it sits down very obligingly. She | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
obviously likes our Championship. Those finishing shots she played at | :15:48. | :16:00. | |
Birkdale, classic efforts. Mirim Lee, out with the driver. Not much | :16:01. | :16:15. | |
run. Jutanugarn, cannot get out with the driver because she isn't | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
carrying it. A bit down the fairway, I have taken a short cut, is it a | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
3-wood? She is out with the 3-wood. She can reach, just about. But she | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
brings the left-hand bunkers into play off the tee. Here she goes. | :16:33. | :16:43. | |
Boom! Looks to be a little bit, a little bit off-line, yes but bounces | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
up and onto the fairway. Not a bad side to be. | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
Still got a smile. Catriona Matthew, pitcher. Good one, Maureen. Dig the | :17:02. | :17:11. | |
toes in. In Gee Chun, another former winner | :17:12. | :17:34. | |
of the US Open. She finishes on 8-under par. | :17:35. | :17:44. | |
Karrie Webb. Not a great tee shot at the 17th. But that looks very gentle | :17:45. | :18:00. | |
and very tidy, but speeds by. They do generate pace when they get to | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
the hole on so many of these greens. Lovely view of the 15th green. | :18:03. | :18:22. | |
Matthew and Martin would be patrolling it. And that's a long | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
putt Matthew hold on 14 might just provide a bit of impetus for her. -- | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
holed. Gentle little tap. Keeping going... | :18:38. | :19:17. | |
It won't reach. APPLAUSE | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
This is Hannah Django. -- Hannah Django. | :19:28. | :19:40. | |
That is looking very good. Similar to Matthew's. A dead online, shy. | :19:41. | :19:51. | |
Hole in one at the par-4. Up to the 18th. The bunker. Leona Maguire, the | :19:52. | :20:01. | |
amateur, in the bunker. Two shots dropped, doesn't want to drop | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
another. Years ago, there was a player called John Hudson and had | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
two consecutive holes in one. In the old martini tournament. Martin. | :20:15. | :20:26. | |
It is a par on 15. Off they go to the 16th tee. Seven pars in a row. | :20:27. | :20:49. | |
No fireworks. Just steady play. Good finish. It's been done already by | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
three players who had a wonderful finish over these closing holes. | :20:55. | :21:07. | |
Mirim Lee is having a crack. 291 yards to the flag. She is going with | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
the wood to get a bit tighter. Which is fine today with the pin at the | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
back of the green. Oh. Check and balance, that is OK. That was | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
heading for the sand. I thought that was sand bound. Be awful to find one | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
of those bunkers at 60, 70 yards back because they are deep. | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
Jutanugarn can park it, 60, 70 yards. With the flag at the back, | :21:42. | :21:42. | |
you have some landing area. Grand National winner there, jumping | :21:43. | :22:02. | |
over the corner of the bunker. That is a very big stroke of luck. She is | :22:03. | :22:16. | |
starting to look a little bit edgy. Karrie Webb to stay par. | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
First drop shot of the David Karrie Webb, when she knocks this in. Leona | :22:26. | :22:35. | |
Maguire on the final green. What a week she's had. This for a closing | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
74. Well, not to be. She is a comfortable winner of the award | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
given to the low amateur. We'll have to make a bit more space in her | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
bulging trophy cabinet. She finishes at 4-under par and it is a very | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
well-deserved round of applause. She will be cross with that finish, but | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
when she gets a moment to reflect on it, it is a great finish. Dan Brown | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
won the English amateur. Andrew Burgess of Royal Aberdeen. Big | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
George Duncan in the final Anzac Gallagher won the Welsh amateur | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
Championship. They all finish around the same time as the women's British | :23:27. | :23:36. | |
Open. -- Zach Gallagher. There is the mark from Charley Hull. She got | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
to 9-under par at one stage. When you think about where that is at | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
9-under, it is a tie for fifth place. Many others will have such | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
stories. Good, straight one from Catriona | :23:48. | :23:59. | |
Matthew. This green is always a little firm. | :24:00. | :24:36. | |
The wind is blocking it up. John, the caddy, giving the instructions. | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
He has been on Mirim Lee's bagged a couple of months and he has helped | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
turn her game around. Not easy to turn this around, I'd be a bit | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
scared of going over the back. Control the flight. | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
It grabs and even backs up a little bit. Over to you, says Mirim Lee, to | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
her partner. Huge, huge break. She caught the | :25:11. | :25:29. | |
3-wood a bit thin and it came up a bit lower than usual. Peter, heading | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
up to the green to get the precise yardage. Not a bad spot. In the | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
rough, sitting OK and the ball is below her feet but she doesn't have | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
to come over the bunker. Maybe a little more time, but back he goes. | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
Coming out the rough, Andrew, will eliminate the fact she has got too | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
much spin on it. She can play a low shot, which she can release out. | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
Mirim Lee, take some applause for her shot. 65 yards. Going to run a | :26:06. | :26:24. | |
little right to left. If this was 45 yards, it would be a tricky shot | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
from this position. But 65, you can open the club face and get a decent | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
swing at it. Stacy Lewis. Hole hi, great distance | :26:33. | :27:10. | |
control. And it looks beautifully read and executed putt. Results, | :27:11. | :27:11. | |
Birdie. 10-under for Stacy Lewis. Stacy Lewis moving up to 10-under | :27:12. | :27:29. | |
par. Five behind. Possibly a little bit too late but it is hotting up | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
with a double bogey from Jutanugarn on the 13th. We find the names of | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
Charley Hull, finished a long time ago. Had it going but stumbled on | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
the back nine. And then Leona Maguire, going to win leading | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
amateur. 75, a better placed earlier on. Slightly slow finish, but she | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
should be very proud. She is talking now to Hazel Irvin. | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
You have one at the Smith salver by six shots, I wonder in your already | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
long list of achievements, where does this set? It is definitely up | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
there, I have had a great week. I would have liked to have played | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
better today, but the goal was to have fun and play as best as I | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
could. How much fun has it been taking on these professionals in | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
this major Championship and featuring so strongly on the | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
leaderboard? It's been great, I've had a lot of fun, it has been great | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
having Lisa on the bag. You and your twin have made quite the double act | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
and we look forward to seeing you next year. Thanks a lot. At Duke | :28:39. | :28:48. | |
University, North Carolina. Go back to Mirim Lee. Can she put the | :28:49. | :28:50. | |
squeeze on? Not one of her finest putts. Just | :28:51. | :29:08. | |
eases the pressure a little bit on Jutanugarn. Just the par-5 from | :29:09. | :29:10. | |
Mirim Lee. Matthew, attacking this short flag | :29:11. | :29:24. | |
on 16. A little light. Should have learned a little from | :29:25. | :29:52. | |
her playing partner. It's uphill and it's pretty slow. | :29:53. | :30:02. | |
No, no. That was to give her two shot lead with three holes to play. | :30:03. | :30:11. | |
But it is still just one. She had a two shot lead with three to play. | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
First major of the year. Let it slip. Can she hold on? One clear. | :30:18. | :30:31. | |
Lewis and the rest of them have to go flag hunting. Running out of | :30:32. | :30:32. | |
holes. Very good. That flag's not very far | :30:33. | :30:57. | |
from yesterday's pin position. A few players behind her, going to have to | :30:58. | :31:04. | |
take some chances if they want to threaten Jutanugarn at the top of | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
the board. Head bowed, ball heading left, needs | :31:07. | :32:12. | |
to get lucky, that's a long way in, all sorts of trouble down there. | :32:13. | :32:22. | |
That is caused by the shot clubface she was talking about on the start | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
of her takeaway. Just rearing its ugly head at the wrong time for her. | :32:26. | :32:42. | |
Jutanugarn has hit two iron's. Cannot get out there about 250, | :32:43. | :32:50. | |
comfortably. -- can knock it out there. After Mirim Lee finds trouble | :32:51. | :33:00. | |
Jutanugarn pounds it down the middle. Mirim Lee just giving | :33:01. | :33:10. | |
Jutanugarn a bit of breathing space but what can Mo Martin do? Just two | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
off the lead to remember. Not a huge amount happened in her | :33:14. | :33:56. | |
round until the back nine, a couple of birdies, then a dropped shot on | :33:57. | :34:03. | |
the 17, a round of 71 for Karrie Webb. She will finish inside the top | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
ten. Just not quite enough juice, the | :34:09. | :34:32. | |
ball bobbled about as it left the blade which normally means it will | :34:33. | :34:45. | |
come up a trifle short. If there is to be any chance at all for Stacy | :34:46. | :34:52. | |
Lewis this one has to drop. Even then it's just the slenderest of | :34:53. | :34:53. | |
hopes. Is it going to get there? No. Write | :34:54. | :35:19. | |
online as well. Catriona. Well, that will irritate | :35:20. | :35:49. | |
her no end. Down to a three horse race now I would say. Jutanugarn, | :35:50. | :35:55. | |
Mirim Lee and Mo Martin. This 470. Mo Martin, big putt for par. Gets | :35:56. | :36:28. | |
it. All pars on the back nine so far for Mo Martin. She is just hanging | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
around hoping others will slipped back. | :36:34. | :36:49. | |
In some brambles but we'll get to that. Pin six, seven yards, | :36:50. | :37:10. | |
safely aboard the green. That could be quite a psychological blow if her | :37:11. | :37:18. | |
opponent has found a really nasty spot in the bushes. It is | :37:19. | :37:26. | |
unplayable, I think. This is long grass, brambles weaved into it, they | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
are so tough, even the strongest of the strong. What do you think? If | :37:32. | :37:43. | |
she takes a hit at this it's a big risk. That is the way they are | :37:44. | :37:52. | |
talking, Ken. If she drops it two club links there are still trees in | :37:53. | :37:55. | |
the way, she thinks she can squirt it out but oh my goodness. If it was | :37:56. | :38:06. | |
Paul Casey with his four iron he might be able to thrash it out | :38:07. | :38:12. | |
but... Coming away and taking some practice swings on some loose | :38:13. | :38:16. | |
chippings isn't going to replicate it. It's a 9-iron they said. It's if | :38:17. | :38:23. | |
the club shaft gets tangled up before she gets to it. All my | :38:24. | :38:24. | |
goodness. This could be the end of her | :38:25. | :38:32. | |
challenge. I am getting nervous, I don't know | :38:33. | :38:51. | |
about you. She has done well to get it out. Settle down there. Through | :38:52. | :38:55. | |
the fairway but that's done pretty well. She set up a pretty good angle | :38:56. | :39:04. | |
for herself into the flag, it's over on the left. That was really, really | :39:05. | :39:14. | |
well done. Well might she smile. If you look at the replay you can see | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
Ken backing off a couple of paces before she hits it and you can | :39:19. | :39:22. | |
understand why, has to be strong just to dig your way through, you | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
don't know what it's going to do coming out of that, I think they had | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
a good look at the brambles behind the ball and decided they were just | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
about flimsy enough to rip the way through. Martin trying to get it | :39:34. | :39:42. | |
onto this little iron in board of a ledge where the flag is today. -- | :39:43. | :39:44. | |
wiring bounce, she says and bounds it does. | :39:45. | :39:57. | |
What a shot from Mo Martin. I haven't seen anybody closer than | :39:58. | :40:07. | |
that all day. She might be the major threat to Jutanugarn. She thinks it | :40:08. | :40:14. | |
comes from closer to her, from Mirim Lee, but Mirim Lee is just faltering | :40:15. | :40:24. | |
year. -- here. She hasn't found the greatest lie, coming across the edge | :40:25. | :40:31. | |
of the bunker, you would like to bits purchase on the ball but she | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
would be able to do that, to get this close it's got to be absolutely | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
perfect. Skirt the edge of the bunker and judge how much it's going | :40:41. | :40:51. | |
to run out. That is just a shot, that is incredible, what a wonderful | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
shot from Mirim Lee. Just crept over the trouble, may well save par and | :40:58. | :41:05. | |
keep the pressure on. No matter where you look this is compelling | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
stuff now, it seemed almost pedestrian at one point have another | :41:10. | :41:21. | |
look at that she literally had a pocket handkerchief on which to | :41:22. | :41:24. | |
bounce that golf ball and she did it. | :41:25. | :41:52. | |
It's coming down to three players, the two in this group and Mo Martin | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
up ahead. Jutanugarn certainly not being | :41:58. | :42:16. | |
rushed, looking for her first major Championship, has come close this | :42:17. | :42:25. | |
year, not only fourth in the ANA but third at the PGA will, women's PGA | :42:26. | :42:26. | |
Championship as well. A reminder of the state of affairs, | :42:27. | :42:49. | |
Mo Martin very close on the 17th. Birdie putt here, there is the | :42:50. | :43:12. | |
smile. Then remembers the seriousness of it all. | :43:13. | :43:22. | |
Dowling two from here would be good. Just wondered on a little bit again. | :43:23. | :43:47. | |
Good aggressive putt. Matthew, the home crowd is delighted with that | :43:48. | :44:01. | |
one. Level par for a two-day, a sprinkling of birdies and bogeys. | :44:02. | :44:09. | |
Lexi Thompson has reached the final hole. | :44:10. | :44:20. | |
Not too shabby. That is the four of the Championship, deep in the bushes | :44:21. | :44:38. | |
off the tee, very risky second, delightful third and a finely | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
executed putt. The scorecard doesn't paint a picture, but my goodness | :44:44. | :44:52. | |
what a hole. Jutanugarn will have been watching all of that, seeing | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
her troubles and thinking I could have gone one further clear and | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
suddenly she has this one to retain the lead. This is one to test the | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
nerves. Go through the smile again. Well done, very well holed. Both of | :45:06. | :45:28. | |
them were nervous there but that's what's it all about, just a couple | :45:29. | :45:35. | |
of holes left, all to play for. Can Mo Martin roll this in and move | :45:36. | :45:50. | |
within one? By a fraction! That could have made a difference Andrew. | :45:51. | :45:55. | |
Really could have made a difference. She has played terrific stuff I | :45:56. | :46:04. | |
think. Go back to that very early putt that she missed from about a | :46:05. | :46:12. | |
foot or so. Anyway, Stacy Lewis on the final hole. | :46:13. | :46:24. | |
Good shot, good short indeed. That will give the Spectator something to | :46:25. | :46:41. | |
cheer. Cracking shot wasn't it? The 17th, par-3, the | :46:42. | :46:55. | |
final group. Gorgeous par-3, one that someone might paint. Circled by | :46:56. | :47:07. | |
mature oaks. The pin on the back little ledge, a bit easier because | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
it's a fraction further left but still tricky. Lots of | :47:12. | :47:23. | |
decision-making, Ken. Looking at the sky to see if there is any breeze | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
but down here it's nonexistent. The flag is not moving at all. Mo Martin | :47:29. | :47:37. | |
has played the best tee shot so far, getting within about 12 feet. Very | :47:38. | :47:50. | |
difficult to get it really tight. If you're going to try and fly it all | :47:51. | :47:57. | |
the way you how to pitch it about a yard on the ledge. If you do that | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
it's liable to dig in and come back to you. One shot. | :48:04. | :48:17. | |
Sounded good, but left. Left an awkward putt. | :48:18. | :48:37. | |
That has given some comfort to the leader because you can afford a | :48:38. | :48:47. | |
breath, not carelessly but one nice clean shot, get inside her. She is | :48:48. | :48:57. | |
capable of carrying it on the ledge, she's got enough power and clubhead | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
speed to spin it. Perfect club for the distance. Make-up on the left | :49:03. | :49:09. | |
shoulder, it shows how she swishes through the ball. The powder. That | :49:10. | :49:19. | |
sounded nice, looks online. How about that? Steady. It dribbles | :49:20. | :49:28. | |
away, but still a very good shot but still tricky part also. Not much | :49:29. | :49:38. | |
easier than the other one. Lexi Thompson on the final green. | :49:39. | :49:49. | |
Quite a bit of movement in that putting stroke. In for par, level | :49:50. | :50:01. | |
par 72 for her round. That will be a tie for eighth. | :50:02. | :50:20. | |
Mo cracks one of the 18th. I think she needs Birdie, Peter. Definitely | :50:21. | :50:31. | |
but you have to admire her play, totally outgunned, it's like a | :50:32. | :50:34. | |
middleweight taking on a heavyweight. She was also denied a | :50:35. | :50:40. | |
high five by that child. Has time that even when challenging the | :50:41. | :50:47. | |
major. Stacy Lewis, this was a superb second shot in. Round of 70, | :50:48. | :50:58. | |
11-under total. She has for the moment set the total in the | :50:59. | :51:05. | |
clubhouse. Finally a smile from Stacy Lewis, just not quite to be | :51:06. | :51:11. | |
this week you suspect. Just a handful of players out on the course | :51:12. | :51:18. | |
now. Can the finish as Caroline Masson dead with four birdies? | :51:19. | :51:31. | |
They just happen, you cannot make them happen, you do your best and | :51:32. | :51:36. | |
then the ball disappears and you have got a birdie or whatever. But | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
you cannot make it happen. You do your best. Sometimes it works and | :51:41. | :51:51. | |
sometimes it doesn't. But this has been a great four days. Back here | :51:52. | :51:55. | |
again in four weeks, the European senior Tour. I recommend you come | :51:56. | :52:04. | |
and have a look. Slightly different from this one. Monster putt, Ken. It | :52:05. | :52:19. | |
is a monster, bed of a switchback putt as well. Just got gathered up | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
on the slope and she is on the lower level, the hole cut almost a yard | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
higher than she is so it's steep uphill. Probably the slowest putt | :52:29. | :52:30. | |
she has had all day. Good speed. Cracking effort. | :52:31. | :52:42. | |
First-class effort. Solid three. Recovered from that very shaky | :52:43. | :53:16. | |
start. Mo Martin into the final green. Looking for birdie. | :53:17. | :53:27. | |
Come on, come on, come on. She has a chance. | :53:28. | :53:49. | |
This is quite a bit left-to-right. Speed important, if you are a bit | :53:50. | :53:57. | |
too anxious you can knock this easily four feet past. | :53:58. | :54:08. | |
Here she comes. How about that? What a moment to hole putt. I did my best | :54:09. | :54:29. | |
and it went in. That might well be that. A lot can still happen but a | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
two shot lead is a whole lot healthier than one to take to the | :54:35. | :54:38. | |
final hole. Look at this, beautifully judged. Two feet outside | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
the left, in, beautiful. Apart from the six at the 13th she | :54:43. | :55:04. | |
has played very, very nice golf indeed. It will be the two iron at | :55:05. | :55:18. | |
the last, it must be? Yes. Mirim Lee hoping for a two shot swing, we have | :55:19. | :55:24. | |
seen plenty of those before. If it is at high they will go off and play | :55:25. | :55:29. | |
a few holes sudden death, see who wins and takes all home the first | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
prize of just over ?310,000. This price is ?90,000. -- fifth prize is | :55:36. | :55:53. | |
?90,000. Really buzzing crowd trying to find position at the edge of this | :55:54. | :56:04. | |
hole. I am trying to find a as well. Outwith the old blade. The old | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
1-iron, up she goes. Don't see many of those these days. She has made | :56:10. | :56:17. | |
this look easy all week, can she crunch another one down the middle? | :56:18. | :56:25. | |
Tense moments. She hit it hard and I think she's got away with it. | :56:26. | :56:51. | |
Little draughty, down the right. No run, safe enough. | :56:52. | :57:29. | |
Mo Martin, this has to drop. To have any chance... | :57:30. | :57:48. | |
The champion of two years ago at Birkdale, unless something | :57:49. | :57:56. | |
miraculous happens to the spinal group, is not going to repeat the | :57:57. | :58:02. | |
feat here at Woburn. She will be very proud and so she should be, she | :58:03. | :58:05. | |
has played very well this week, Mo Martin. Been a very enjoyable time | :58:06. | :58:15. | |
for everyone. The senior Tour here in four weeks' time. Some big boys | :58:16. | :58:25. | |
will be here. Catriona Matthew. For a closing par. That's a shame. She | :58:26. | :58:34. | |
knew it was poor, up and out of it underway. | :58:35. | :58:41. | |
73 for Catriona Matthew. Still a great effort, tied for fifth will be | :58:42. | :58:48. | |
the end result. A little touch anxious but what a | :58:49. | :59:06. | |
good four days work. Excellent playing. Mo Martin, very good | :59:07. | :59:18. | |
scoring indeed. Lovely playing. The final pair approached their tee | :59:19. | :59:22. | |
shots. Jutanugarn has a two shot lead and | :59:23. | :59:36. | |
she's OK. What sort of club do you think Ken? | :59:37. | :00:03. | |
168, between an eight and 7-iron I think. | :00:04. | :00:09. | |
She has to carry at 157. Over the little red chair in the green. Must | :00:10. | :00:22. | |
be seven, be sure. Got to be. Maybe not. I will tell you any second. | :00:23. | :00:44. | |
A 7-iron, Peter, you are wrong! Seven! Deep breath! One more nice, | :00:45. | :00:57. | |
straight, beautifully timed shot. Right into the heart of the green, | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
come on! That is a bit weak. There will be | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
greater applause now. Cracking shot. The 100 club... That deserved | :01:07. | :01:28. | |
better, under pressure, a very good shot. She said she would aim at the | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
oh behind the flag like the caddy suggested and that is where she | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
landed it. And she has got 164, Mirim Lee. We have seen them hold. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
The great photographer slipping past. The speed of a greyhound! This | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
looks like a mix. As much as that? Really? A 6-iron! I am not sure. | :02:03. | :02:22. | |
Sighs of relief. Whatever happens. Whatever happens, I think this young | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
lady... Do not start counting the money yet, but I will have ?10 on | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
her. And I am not a gambling man. Alistair Scott, our starter, former | :02:31. | :02:50. | |
BBC, announcing them home. Nice little touches. APPLAUSE. | :02:51. | :03:13. | |
Champagne in waiting. Can almost start to enjoy it now, that close | :03:14. | :03:25. | |
with 80 macro shot lead. -- 82 shot lead. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Mirim Lee has given her a good race. Just a little short. The lone figure | :03:31. | :03:54. | |
of ten in front of the green! Totally oblivious to what is going | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
on. -- Kenneth. No, it is not. He is on the ball now. No play-off, thank | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
goodness, old friend! No play-off. At least, I don't think so, | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
something weird would have to happen for there to be a play-off. I think | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
again, potentially, this is a Serena Williams. She has the capability and | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
power to completely dominate the game. Interesting. And at her young | :04:26. | :04:35. | |
age, she appears to enjoy it. This will do her, if it ends in her | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
favour, it will do a tremendous amount to boost her confidence. A | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
couple of near misses but for a player so young, huge talent. Power, | :04:45. | :04:53. | |
controlled touch. Mirim Lee has got the hole this, it is the most | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
unlikely. Greece lightning, turning violently to the right as it slows | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
down. If she does, her opponent has three more putts to still take the | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
title. What a scene, Peter, beautiful. Lovely. That is maybe her | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
mother standing at the back. Yes, her mother travels everywhere with | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
her. You know all these things! Now, this is tricky. Along the top, over | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
the ridge. Across the green, and is low. A good 17, 18 yards. Goodspeed, | :05:35. | :05:48. | |
turning right. Good effort. And she has got the hole flat. Remember Mo | :05:49. | :05:58. | |
Martin and 13-under. It of 17 -- 70, from her. | :05:59. | :06:13. | |
I hope the caddy will get a good bonus, Peter! I think he will do. | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
What a job he has done. Fantastic. They always say 10% for a win. If | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
that is true... That is ?30,000. That is her mother. That is more | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
than might old caddy, Liverpool sit, got. Mr alongside, Maria, alongside | :06:35. | :06:44. | |
her mother. -- her sister alongside. She played well this week. But the | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
younger sister has it all laid out before her. | :06:50. | :07:06. | |
A little bit edgy! A little bit edgy. I think she will still have a | :07:07. | :07:25. | |
couple more from there. I love it! The first time she has got cross | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
with herself all week. Yes. This has got to go in. Otherwise, she will be | :07:34. | :07:49. | |
tied with Kim. -- with Mo Martin. Oh! I don't like it, I don't like to | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
see that. What a pity. Untidy beginning and an | :07:59. | :08:15. | |
untidy end. A round of 73, 13-under, tied the second. Still her best | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
finish at a Major, opening with that 60 to entertain everybody. It cost | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
about ?25,000, ?30,000, that putt. Not like your Saturday morning roll | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
up. You are all right, mum! She will be all right. | :08:40. | :08:58. | |
Well done! The winner! And how well she has played. Here they come! Is | :08:59. | :09:11. | |
that the real stuff? Is it water? Highland Spring, sparkling. Poor old | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
mum and sister! DMA! The entire family. -- dear me. Very well | :09:20. | :09:38. | |
played. A gallant opponent. Thank you, Slough. | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
APPLAUSE. He done good. | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
Away they go to the huts to check their cards and the prize-winning | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
presentation. Study that card carefully into the | :10:00. | :10:19. | |
corridors. A first Major title. In the end, it was a handsome victory. | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
But it was very close on that back nine. At one stage in the final | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
round, Jutanugarn had a 1-shot lead, ending with a three shot victory. | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
With the double-bogey on the 13th, it was close. Mo Martin finishing | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
tied for second place with Mirim Lee and the American who won this title | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
at Birkdale, got short but very commendable effort. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Talking to us now. What is it about the English air that makes you just | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
love the British Open? I do love it. I have done a little bit of research | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
into my past winnings and I have -- Mike Harris lineage and I have got | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
English teams so maybe I have ancestors looking out at me and it | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
has been nice. The weather has been great, the fans, they are great. I | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
appreciate playing here, the fans are spectacular. He seems such an | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
engaging personality so that is something to do with it. How did the | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
course play today? -- you seem. Similar, a similar wind the entire | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
week. They moved the tee boxes around a little bit, left and right, | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
with the par-3 and that brought the trees and play or did not so that | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
changed. But very similar. When you won this Championship in 2014, you | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
suffered with your rest and you have that struck top. You have only | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
missed one cut this year so what do you put your form down to, getting | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
over that injury? That is part of it, it an injury is scary and you | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
can't push it or you compensate in other players -- other places and | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
your game can go downhill. With an injury, it you never know when you | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
will get better. But I found the right therapist, Mo Herman. She was | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
fantastic and she built this point and I changed my splint and got back | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
in form and I started working with a new caddy who has been a great | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
addition. I have a great team around me and everything is flowing now. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
Great ball striking and my putting is coming around so it is fun to be | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
in contention. You make it all sounds so easy! Well done on yet | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
another fantastic Major. Thanks, we work really hard to make it look | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
easy! Catriona Matthew, we thought she | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
would be in contention, but there were 57 macro. A mixed bag today. 73 | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
eventually, 9-under for fifth place, her thoughts five bogeys. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
Another good start today but difficult to keep it going, why? I | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
don't know, I had a couple of shots on the two to the front holes and it | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
was a struggle. A couple of terrible three putts and a birdie on 17 so | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
not bad. Quite disappointed but not too bad. Some of the players said | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
they felt the pins were more tucked and there was more bounce on the | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
course. Yes, the greens were firmer today. The pins were tacked -- | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
topped the list two days and the greens were firmer which made it | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
tougher to get close. How special to have husband Graeme on your back | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
hunting down Majors? You have shed a lot of great experiences. Very | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
special. It is great on when he can caddy now, he does not get to do it | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
much. Just great fun. I am busy disappointed but great play in front | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
of the crowd and be in front. Another top-flight finish and that | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
is to be a good thing as you prepare the Rio Olympics? Yes, it just need | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
to move up about three places! When you set up? I go down on Friday the | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
12th. Watch at the weekend and we start on Wednesday. And Graeme is on | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
your back? He is coming, yes. Good luck, have a great week. | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
Thank you very much. Just outside the medals for Catriona Matthew | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
here, finishing tied for fifth place. Seven shots behind the | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
winner. The Gold Medallist. Time to hand over silverware to the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
champion. Time to hand over this beautiful | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
silver pitcher to our champion in the company of our hesitation party, | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
Trish Wilson and the Deputy President of Ricoh limited Would you | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
please do the honours? Thank you. Congratulations. He makes history as | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
the first time winner of a Major, Ariya Jutanugarn. And very | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
well-deserved. I will as you questions about what must be a very | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
hard effort indeed. How much harder with the last holes then you | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
anticipated? It is very hard because after I have six, I feel I want to | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
make birdie because I missed a lot of putts today. The 34th a turning | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
point with a double-bogey, how much attention at that point? I felt | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
nervous but after that hole, I felt like I could make every shot. You | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
committed and there was a beautiful show at the 17th, described that | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
putt and the relief in getting that putt at the 17th. I feel I wanted to | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
make myself happy because I missed a lot of putts, just make one. He | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
smiled all the way and the biggest smile for your mother. A very | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
special moment at the end, what was that like and what did she say? She | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
cried I think! She did not, when I40 macro my first tournament, she said | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
thank you and that made my day. -- when I won. The first ever tied | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
golfer to win a Major! It is important for me and Thai golf | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
because my goal was to win a Major and I did. I hope I can inspire | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
players in Thailand. You have a beautiful silver trophy and next you | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
go for Gold at Rio Olympics. We and everybody else wishes you the best. | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
You are a wonderful champion. Ariya smiles better and she has done all | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
week, thank you very much. And show me the trophy. | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
Ariya Jutanugarn, Major champion of 2016, the women's British Open | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
champion. And this was the putt that sealed the win, a three shot | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
victory. A first Major and a dousing in champagne. There will be more, | :17:15. | :17:23. | |
you suspect, from this big hitting, big talent. | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
The final story of the Championship at Woburn. Jutanugarn three shots | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
clear of Mo Martin and Mirim Lee. Karrie Webb in a tie for fifth place | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
after her 71. We will get the thoughts now of the former champion. | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
Looking like a very strong top-10 finish once again here. 21 years | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
after your first victory. How would you assess your week back at Woburn? | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
It has been a long time since I have been in contention since the | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
Australian Open at the beginning of the year so Woburn brought a bit of | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
magic back to my game this week. I played solidly. The putter was a bit | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
cold today but overall, my putting was a lot better this week. That is | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
what I had been waiting for, I had been swinging it quite nicely and it | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
has been good to see some shots go in. I would have liked to see more | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
but happy with the week. This is a top ten in a Major and you have | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
seven big titles already. Does this give you heart there will be more in | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
the lock down the track? I still believe that. When you do not play | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
great, it is hard to see it but deep down I know I still have chances to | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
win Majors. It is getting myself a chance. We look forward to you | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
coming back as long as you want! You will have to tell them that! | :18:51. | :19:48. | |
Rio 2016, the Olympic Games starts on August five the BBC. | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
Five days and counting, not just for the BBC, but also for Ariya | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Jutanugarn because after that performance, she will have a crack | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
at the Gold Medal. She certainly has, that was riveting viewing. We | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
are sitting back not bothered, nice and easy. Sunday afternoon. And | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
suddenly, like this, what is going to happen? That was a privilege to | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
watch. This has been her breakthrough year. What we witnessed | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
was a player who learns to play under extreme pressure. Trying to | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
get across the line for her first Major, it was great stuff. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Especially given what we were talking about, the first Major of | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
the year, two shot ahead, bogeyed the last three. That incident stays | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
in your mind and is hard to shift. I think I said in commentary, this | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
time last year, she left temporary after missing the cut. Her tenth | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
consecutive missed court. She was in bits and did not know what to do | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
with her game and how to turn it around. She could not keep a driver | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
on the fairway. She started working with Gary Gilchrist in the spring | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
and he said she did not need anything technical doing, it was up | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
here. She goes to the best there is. They came up with this, I call it | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
the pre-shot smile. We will see that next week on golf courses around the | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
country. The little smile. It is a calming thing. They told her she got | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
too fast under pressure. This helps to calm her down and slow her down, | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
slow down the heart rate. I watched her very closely after that | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
double-bogey because under that sort of pressure, that is the time these | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
routines go out the window. But she carried it through to the end and | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
recovered. The amazing thing is, it is leading the way in terms of the | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
spread of the game. Thailand, we have had Chinese Taipei, South | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
Korea, and also from mainland China breaking new ground, Shanshan Feng. | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
It is happening in the women's game and will surely have a huge impact | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
spreading it further? No doubt, in four years' time in Korea, can you | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
imagine? It will be immense. It is Tokyo in 2020 for the Olympics and | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
it will be fascinating to see the spread of the game. Thank you, | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Maureen. Plenty of fascinating Dutch plenty of fascinating listening on | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
the radio, because the fourth round in New Jersey has been impacted by | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
the weather. Jason Day and Jimmy Walker and Henrik Stenson with | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
answers. Radio 5 Live is on air tonight from 8:30pm with live | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
coverage of round four. Is Jason Day going to retain that title? Giving | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
it a good go so far. At Woburn, we bid a fond farewell to Woburn. And | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
to the Ricoh women's Open Championship. It is Thailand on top | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
and Ariya smiles better than anybody. Goodbye! | :22:58. | :24:20. | |
20,000 square miles of rugged coastline, | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
But wildlife is thriving in this unforgiving place. | :24:23. | :24:32. |
