marathon winner. Taking the applause. This is a place more used | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
to the Carnevale and Rio, but she is enjoying the party. Eunice Kirwa of | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Bahrain was just behind her and taking the bronze medal for | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
Ethiopian was married the barber. Jemima Sumgong is the Olympic | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
champion. Let's get back to the golf. | :00:19. | :00:40. | |
COMMENTATOR: Three wood again, Stenson. Phones away, please put the | :00:41. | :00:55. | |
phone is down. 277 yards. This par five fifth hole. | :00:56. | :01:22. | |
Oh... Well, short and right, but the contour there helped it come back, | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
just as well he didn't bounce off into the sandy area. Still a tricky | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
return from there, Bubba Watson on the sixth, this is to go seven | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
under. That is a good-looking putt! Bubba Watson has judged the pace and | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
the line nicely, he goes climbing up the leaderboard, Bubba Watson. He is | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
on seven under now. Marcus Fraser, his second at the fifth. Stay on, | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
stay on! Just comes off the front side of the green. He will have a | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
pitch and a good angle down the green, a birdie opportunity. But | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Justin Rose, with Stenson and Fraser having missed the green, is last to | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
grow in this group. -- go. The leader by one, 200 metres, a | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
shade under 220 yards, to go. He is saying get down, you just get | :02:35. | :02:55. | |
the feeling that that is a poor miss from Stenson, Rose and Fraser. This | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
is a green they could attack, get decent shots of the T, and they have | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
all missed the green with their second. They need to be on in three | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
to hit the green in regulation, it is a par five, bear in mind, the | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
easiest scoring hole on the course. Lingmerth to get to seven under, he | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
is with the likes of Seamus Power and Bubba Watson on seven under. | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
Now Matt Kuchar to go seven under as well, or to go eight under. Did not | :03:34. | :03:53. | |
miss by March. -- March. That looks to be tracking perfectly. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
Struggled with some of the shorter putts this week, Matt Kuchar. Thomas | :04:01. | :04:17. | |
Pieters on the 11th, the Belgian. Second shot, he is 8-under par, | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
going the right direction, just staying on the apron there. So | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
Thomas Pieters playing himself into medal contention here on this final | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
day of the men's individual stroke play. The fifth hole today, the pin | :04:38. | :04:48. | |
is 23 yards on from the front and six in from the right on this par-5. | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
The green has a depth of some 29 yards, so the back right position | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
today for this par-5. Henrik Stenson coming up short with his second. | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
I think he is just glancing across the green there to Justin Rose's on | :05:18. | :05:26. | |
the other side of the green, to say, it is made to play first. -- me. He | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
has got a bit of contour to contemplate here, from right to left | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
as he looks at it, towards that TV tower behind the green. He might use | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
this. He can only see the top half of the | :05:45. | :06:04. | |
flagstick from where he is. The club faces -- face is wide open. Stenson, | :06:05. | :06:21. | |
third shot to five. Beautifully done, what a touch that is from the | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
Swede, just clipped it off the turf, a wonderful finish. Most importantly | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
for Henrik Stenson, birdie opportunity at five. | :06:36. | :06:47. | |
The galleries, they are enthralled by what they are seeing. Matt Kuchar | :06:48. | :07:00. | |
to remain at 7-under. This is a par putt, and good for Kuchar, so Matt | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Kuchar, Thomas Pieters, Sergio Garcia, Seamus Power, even Rafa | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Cabrera-Bello, a host of golfers that are currently on 7-under. | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
Marcus Fraser can give Justin Rose a good read here, that is Justin | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
Rose's ball just behind him. 5th hole, third shot, Fraser. It is a | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
fine effort, Justin Rose will no how much he has got to give this. It is | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
fairly straight from where he is, maybe a couple of inches left. What | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
galleries we have on this final day, a sell-out crowd for the final day | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
of the men's Olympic individual stroke play competition. 14-under | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
par, Britain's Justin Rose is leading, and he has this, his third | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
shot, to the fifth, the par-5 fifth. He kept its topside, might have gone | :08:10. | :08:30. | |
a bit straighter, just a little shake of the head from Rose, but he | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
has got bad for birdie. We have been focusing very much on Emiliano | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Grillo, but his compatriot, Florian go mess, has a chance at 11. It is a | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
good-looking putt, he goes to 7-under now. | :08:49. | :08:59. | |
So we have got seven or eight golfers tied for fourth now. Thomas | :09:00. | :09:09. | |
Pieters's birdie putt, he is alone in third. He doesn't like it, and he | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
will stay 8-under par. Marcus Fraser to join him on 8-under. | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
Barring a very serious meltdown, Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose look | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
well set for a golden medal between them, but there is still plenty to | :09:38. | :09:38. | |
play for. Marcus Fraser gets a shot back, goes | :09:39. | :09:53. | |
back to 8-under, and now he's tied for third with Thomas Pieters. Onto | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
the eighth, Matt Kuchar of the United States, he has got an 8-iron | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
here, 7-under par. He likes it, oh, he likes it. Hang in there, he said. | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
That is going to drop back down, funnelled towards the pin and right | :10:17. | :10:27. | |
here is Justin Rose on five. Five or six feet for birdie, the tournament | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
leader at 14-under part. -- par. Parting with such authority, Justin | :10:31. | :10:42. | |
Rose gets to 15 under par. Now Stenson has a birdie chance. | :10:43. | :11:09. | |
This is for Stenson to remain within one | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
This is men's individual stroke play, it has been a real tussle, | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
turning out to be a fantastic battle between two gloriously talented | :11:28. | :11:37. | |
golfers. At the moment they are five shots clear of anybody else on the | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
course, and this is to be six shots clear of anybody else. Stenson makes | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
birdie and goes to 14-under, Rose leads by one. This is going to be a | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
straight shooter now, Rose at 15-under, Stenson 14-under, barring | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
a meltdown, I repeat, for either one of them, this will be a battle | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
between Stenson and Rose for gold and silver. This is Seamus Power on | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
13 for birdie, he is having a great day out on the golf course. | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
6-under for his round of golf. So the sixth is a par-3, three par-3s | :12:25. | :12:43. | |
on the opening nine holes, the first nine on this Olympic golf course. | :12:44. | :12:53. | |
And if they are still going side by side, Rose and Stenson down to 16, | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
17 and 18, can you imagine? Because they are all very much risk and | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
reward holes, 16, 17 and 18. Trailing by one with two holes to | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
play? Hearing similar messages from both | :13:12. | :13:26. | |
caddies, both very experienced, so are the golfers, but it is just play | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
your shot, commit to the stroke. You have got to be confident with your | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
shot, don't try to take anything off. Rose going with the 8-iron here | :13:38. | :13:48. | |
at six, 176 metres out. Well, he just admonished himself | :13:49. | :14:06. | |
there, called his name as if he didn't like it. Almost pin high from | :14:07. | :14:16. | |
Justin Rose, now Stenson. He also is going with 8-iron here. | :14:17. | :14:31. | |
Dead straight, you says. Straight down there. The message is there. | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
All the calculations have been made, it is now pull the trigger time. 6th | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
hole, Henrik Stenson with 8-iron on this par-3. Watching it with | :14:50. | :15:03. | |
interest. Right over the flagstick from Henrik Stenson. It is the | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
little walk that is the giveaway, he walks away from putts and you know | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
they are going to drop. Justin Rose left the window open by hanging his | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
tee shot out to the right, but Henrik Stenson said to his caddy, | :15:22. | :15:33. | |
like a bullet, straight. That is as straight as it's going to get. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
Marcus Fraser, needs to get back in contention for a medal. Currently | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
tied for third. 8-under the Marcus Fraser. Started the day 9-under. | :15:45. | :15:59. | |
Gives himself a birdie chance. Seamus Power, on 13, to tidy up for | :16:00. | :16:11. | |
his par. Stays 7-under par, Seamus Power from Ireland. Plays on the web | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
.com Tour. Mat Kuchar, a host of players on 7-under, searching for | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
that elusive birdie at eight. This could be his chance. Matt Kutcher | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
takes responsibility. He joins Marcus Fraser and Thomas Pieters on | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
8-under. Big smile on the face of the man from team USA. Rafael | :16:43. | :16:54. | |
Cabrera-Bello, second shot to nine. Look at this action on the ball from | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
the Spaniard. It is an absolute birdie -fest on this final day here | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
on the Olympic Golf Course. And Adilson Da Silva, takes the applause | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
warmly. He has not stopped smiling since he hit the first tee shot of | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
the 2016 Olympic Games, the men's Olympic individual stroke play | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
event. Can he finished with a birdie, a flourish at the last? | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
Adilson Da Silva, the 44-year-old. It's got a chance. That would have | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
been some celebration. We might have had a stand-off for a few minutes. | :17:45. | :17:55. | |
He has had a wonderful four days. It is a round of 69 to finish for | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
Brazil's Adilson Da Silva and he finishes 1-over par for the | :18:03. | :18:03. | |
tournament. Good-looking. Just had enough | :18:04. | :18:15. | |
energy. Out in 32. Justin Rose has certainly opened the | :18:16. | :18:44. | |
door here. Little bit for Henrik Stenson. Par 36. Rose, didn't like | :18:45. | :19:01. | |
his tee shot. That said, Justin Rose, started to make a few long | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
putts in round three. He said that was the key. If this drops, anything | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
that Henrik Stenson might have gained from this hole, will be out | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
of the window. Justin Rose, spoke about the longer putts, how he | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
needed to make them. For him, critical now, if this drops. Or at | :19:26. | :19:37. | |
least, gets close. 6th hole, Justin Rose, for birdie. Has given it a | :19:38. | :19:54. | |
good hit. It was on nine. So a tap in par for the British golfer. | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
Rafael Cabrera-Bello, for his birdie at nine. He finishes with a birdie | :20:05. | :20:17. | |
at nine. He is out in 32. Goes to 8-under, joins Thomas Pieters, Matt | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
Kutcher and Marcus Fraser. Marcus Fraser has a chance here to go | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
9-under, back where he started. Long Way to go, could be a real scrap for | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
the bronze medal. It is going to be a big scrap for the gold. | :20:38. | :20:53. | |
Marcus Fraser, goes back to nine. He is alone in third. 9-under par for | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
Marcus Fraser. Just settled a little after a couple of dropped shots to | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
open. But has come back with birdies. That is a character | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
building putt, a confidence building putt from Marcus Fraser. He would | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
have felt the energy and the gap between he and the two players he is | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
with, Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose. That puts him back at nine. | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
Henrik Stenson, after the impressive tee shot on six, has a putt for | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
birdie to join Justin Rose at 15-under par leading the field. | :21:46. | :21:59. | |
Just putting through his shadow here. He thought he'd got it, he was | :22:00. | :22:15. | |
walking after it. Justin Rose, anxiously watching. Henrik Stenson, | :22:16. | :22:28. | |
was after that very quickly. It looked good. Caught the Cup, then | :22:29. | :22:46. | |
out. This is the par. -- for par. Chance missed for Henrik Stenson. He | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
was walking after that, felt he had hit a good putt. The shot was good. | :22:56. | :23:13. | |
The putt, not bad. Adilson Da Silva, the historic ball for somebody in | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
the gallery. Probably hit somebody. Proudly representing the host | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
nation. At golf's return to the Olympic Games. Cheered and | :23:25. | :23:40. | |
applauded. Genuinely, emotional day for Adilson Da Silva. They know that | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
would mean the world to him. Such a significant honour for the Brazilian | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
golfer. Henrik Stenson misses the chance to | :23:53. | :24:07. | |
make a birdie. Marcus Fraser on seven. 445 metres, 487 yards. Back | :24:08. | :24:17. | |
to 9-under par. Straight down the middle for the | :24:18. | :24:29. | |
Australian. He's gone a little left, but that's | :24:30. | :25:29. | |
all right. Just asked his caddy, what's over there? Caddy says, you | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
are OK. Throughout the four days, Justin Rose's swing has been pretty | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
solid. Not a lot has gone wrong with that swing. This is the first time | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
we have seen the driver from Henrik Stenson in this final round. A | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
little wayward with this club in round three. | :25:54. | :26:09. | |
It is big. Henrik Stenson, straight down the middle on seven. | :26:10. | :26:26. | |
Rafael Cabrera-Bello, finished in good fashion. He is on ten. It is | :26:27. | :26:43. | |
reachable for him in two. Punched it out to the right. All set for the | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
draw in onto the green. Will trickle of the front side, but that is a | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
very good eagle opportunity for Rafael Cabrera-Bello, on ten. | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
Currently tied in fourth is Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Meanwhile, on nine, | :27:06. | :27:17. | |
Matt Kutcher. Second shot. Little spin towards the hole. We have seen | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
so many very good approach shots on this final day. Seamus Power, after | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
a host of birdies finds himself putting for par again. He is needing | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
to save par at the moment. Two in a row he has had to save par on. Mrs | :27:39. | :27:44. | |
here. Seamus Power at 14 will drop back down to 5-under for the day. | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
Drop back down to 6-under for the Championship. The man who is making | :27:51. | :28:10. | |
putts on the causes Patrick Reed. He started in less than since fashion. | :28:11. | :28:18. | |
Eight birdies for Patrick Reed. 7-under on the day. His only | :28:19. | :28:26. | |
blemish, a bogey at three. Emiliano Grillo, from Argentina. Birdie putt | :28:27. | :28:44. | |
on the par-3 8th hole. Grillo and Fabian Gomez, the two Argentine | :28:45. | :28:46. | |
players in the field. That's a birdie putt gone by. 7th | :28:47. | :29:21. | |
hole is the par-4. This is a fairly lengthy par-4, but the green today | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
has a little right angle, almost a dogleg green, but the flag is tucked | :29:26. | :29:33. | |
away. 15 on, but 40 yards deep into the green. Marcus Fraser will be | :29:34. | :29:41. | |
first to play his second in. 222 metres to play. Shy of 245 yards. | :29:42. | :29:55. | |
Be lucky. Not lucky. He has got a little bit of the green to work with | :29:56. | :30:06. | |
there, just a little bit. The wind has picked up, it has been a feature | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
of the golf for four days, the early morning has been still, picture | :30:13. | :30:24. | |
still. So Henrik Stenson trailing by one, missed an opportunity on six, | :30:25. | :30:32. | |
birdie putt clipped the right lip of the hole. 188 metres to hole here on | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
seven. I don't think that was a distraction | :30:37. | :31:03. | |
from anyone and then the crowd, I think it was possibly a gust of wind | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
that he felt, did he have the right club? The caddy said, yeah, it is | :31:09. | :31:17. | |
right, just go back again. Reset. Stenson, just over 200 yards, 188 | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
metres, second shot to the seventh. Oh, that is an absolutely | :31:21. | :31:39. | |
magnificent shot! His tee shot on six, his approach shot now on seven, | :31:40. | :31:49. | |
and Stenson is turning up the ante. This is magnificent golf, now Rose | :31:50. | :31:55. | |
knows exactly what he has to do, he knows that is close. Just | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
unbelievable to watch, two major champions who have loved the idea of | :32:03. | :32:08. | |
golf's return to the Olympic Games, making the most intriguing duel in | :32:09. | :32:19. | |
the final day's play-off golf's return. The Olympic golf course in | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
Rio de Janeiro, purpose-built for the Olympic Games. That smile! | :32:26. | :32:35. | |
The back edges another seven away, that is 213 to the top of that | :32:36. | :32:42. | |
slope. We are not getting three on there. Not really, mate, 226. I have | :32:43. | :32:53. | |
got it. OK. If you have a smooth cut in here... | :32:54. | :33:25. | |
Justin Rose going with his caddy. He has told him to cut the 3-iron in | :33:26. | :33:31. | |
here. Yeah, good decision for Rose, slightly below his feet, but | :33:32. | :33:32. | |
shouldn't be too much of a problem. Come on! Below your feet, it is | :33:33. | :33:47. | |
easier to go with the cut. The gallery likes it, just a little too | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
strong, Justin Rose. I don't think he would have minded if there was | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
somebody in the gallery catching that one. Yeah! Where is that woman | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
when you needed her?! You can see... He has made so few | :33:59. | :34:12. | |
errors over the four days. That is the raw emotion, what the Olympics | :34:13. | :34:20. | |
is all about, the Olympic Games. Kuchar now, this too tie for third. | :34:21. | :34:30. | |
Kuchar joins Marcus Fraser on 9-under par, four under for the day. | :34:31. | :34:42. | |
Team USA might have a chance of medalling. Bubba Watson began the | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
day at 6-under part, this is to stay 7-under. How many of those have we | :34:48. | :34:54. | |
seen over four days from Bubba Watson? Now, the tenth hole, | :34:55. | :35:04. | |
Cabrera-Bello, on the green for a while but stopped just off the front | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
edge, got the ball just beyond the hole, a birdie opportunity for | :35:11. | :35:11. | |
Cabrera-Bello. So Cabrera-Bello, if he makes this, | :35:12. | :35:33. | |
will be 9-under, with Kuchar, Fraser, and indeed Cabrera-Bello is | :35:34. | :35:40. | |
tied for third now, 9-under par. Marcus Fraser being chased down by | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
the likes of Russell Cabrera-Bello and Matt Kuchar, and still a few | :35:46. | :35:59. | |
golfers lurking on a. -- on 8-under. Now, Justin Rose has gone big here | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
on the seventh, he has gone way off the green on the back. | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
Fraser 9-under, Fraser will go first here. Third shot for the Australian | :36:11. | :36:33. | |
on this par four seventh. It will run up to the hole, that is | :36:34. | :36:47. | |
not bad from there. Marcus Fraser has made a couple of very good | :36:48. | :36:49. | |
recovery shots today. Please, no photos, folks, please, | :36:50. | :37:14. | |
thank you. Justin Rose, his third to the | :37:15. | :37:25. | |
seventh, par-4. All did there, said there. Well, it | :37:26. | :37:41. | |
was a tight lie, lots of people walking around that area, sort of | :37:42. | :37:47. | |
nipped it off a pretty tight lie, Justin Rose, didn't get too much | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
spin here. Of course, he's pitching on a | :37:51. | :38:05. | |
downslope as well, the green sloping down towards the front of the green. | :38:06. | :38:12. | |
Onto the tenth tee, Matt Kuchar, he is 9-under. | :38:13. | :38:19. | |
Yeah, that is a great strife. Currently tied for third with Marcus | :38:20. | :38:27. | |
Fraser at 9-under, Rose at 15-under, Stenson 14. Up ahead on 14, it is | :38:28. | :38:41. | |
Sergio Garcia, 4-iron, 212 metres, 232 yards. He is 7-under par. | :38:42. | :38:52. | |
And he finds the sand. It is a tough hole, the 14th is tough. | :38:53. | :39:13. | |
Justin Rose's chip has gone some 14 feet past here, he has left himself | :39:14. | :39:17. | |
a fair bit to do for his par. Seventh hole, Justin Rose for his | :39:18. | :39:28. | |
par. Straight across the face of the | :39:29. | :39:41. | |
hole, so that is the first bogey of the day for the British man. 13th, | :39:42. | :39:55. | |
it is Thomas Pieters of Belgium or birdie, just off the green here. | :39:56. | :40:06. | |
He's a under par. -- 8-under par. Not a bad effort, playing along with | :40:07. | :40:11. | |
his fellow countrymen Nicolas Colsaerts. -- countryman. So Justin | :40:12. | :40:22. | |
Rose has missed his par here on seven, and Henrik Stenson has a | :40:23. | :40:23. | |
birdie putt. Oh, he thought he had got it! That | :40:24. | :40:36. | |
is two putts so close. Stenson makes par. He stays at | :40:37. | :40:51. | |
14-under. Now, Matt Kuchar making a real climb | :40:52. | :41:31. | |
of the leaderboard today, Matt Kuchar. His second on the par-5 | :41:32. | :41:39. | |
10th, could be a birdie opportunity here. He needs to keep it on, oh, | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
that is going to be an eagle opportunity for Kuchar, and not a | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
long putt. A birdie coming at the very least, you imagine. Marcus | :41:51. | :41:57. | |
Fraser for his par, to stay at 9-under. At the moment, he is tied | :41:58. | :42:12. | |
with Matt Kuchar on nine. Par putt for Fraser... Oh, agonising! The | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
Australian drops back again to 8-under par. But he drops a shot, | :42:18. | :42:30. | |
Stenson makes his par, and Justin Rose, having flown the green with | :42:31. | :42:36. | |
his second, has paid the price. His chip shot when some 14 or 15 feet | :42:37. | :42:43. | |
past, he missed the par putt, and this now for bogey. | :42:44. | :42:54. | |
So back to 14-under par, the leaderboard shows Rose and Stenson | :42:55. | :43:09. | |
tie-dyed 14-under par. -- tied at. If you are five ahead of anyone else | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
in the field, Justin Rose would have been relieved to see Henrik Stenson | :43:14. | :43:21. | |
not making it a two-shot switch. So Rose 14-under, Stenson 14-under, | :43:22. | :43:28. | |
Cabrera-Bello, Kuchar on 9-under. Thomas Pieters is tied for fifth | :43:29. | :43:39. | |
with Marcus Fraser on 8-under. This is the eighth tee. | :43:40. | :43:54. | |
Not an overly tricky par-3 to negotiate. Henrik Stenson has got | :43:55. | :44:01. | |
the 8-iron out of the bag, representing Sweden. Stand behind | :44:02. | :44:05. | |
the tee, stand back, thanks, guys. Wonderful scoring conditions today, | :44:06. | :44:21. | |
Stenson and Rose looking to take advantage. Henrik Stenson looking to | :44:22. | :44:23. | |
reset, start again, he says. Stenson on the tee at eight. Guys, | :44:24. | :44:47. | |
please, put the phones away!, and, guys, please. | :44:48. | :44:58. | |
Just checking on Stenson, got what you need? | :44:59. | :45:16. | |
He doesn't like it, Stenson. It is long and toward the left side of the | :45:17. | :45:27. | |
green, when the flag is on the right. The flag is 26 yards deep. | :45:28. | :45:36. | |
Such great balance in the swing of Henrik Stenson. | :45:37. | :45:44. | |
He will take that. Just a little left to right, the wind drifting | :45:45. | :46:24. | |
across this eighth hole. Justin Rose, dropped shots at seven. He's | :46:25. | :46:36. | |
got an 8-iron. Rose and Stenson, five clear of anyone else in the | :46:37. | :46:46. | |
field, battling for gold and silver. The 2013 US Open champion. | :46:47. | :47:01. | |
So much better from Justin Rose. An immediate opportunity to pull back | :47:02. | :47:09. | |
the shot he dropped at the last. A real birdie chance at eight. Gets it | :47:10. | :47:22. | |
in close. Argentina's Emiliano Grillo, for birdie on nine. Putts | :47:23. | :47:37. | |
are going in on this final day. 18, Patrick Reed. We saw his birdie at | :47:38. | :47:47. | |
17. Four birdies in the last five holes. Needs to get close to finish | :47:48. | :47:53. | |
with a par. Patrick Reed gets very close. Sets the low round of the | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
day. If he taps that in, makes 30 and comes home and 64, 7-under par. | :48:00. | :48:08. | |
Now at 11, Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Ball is a long way above his feet, | :48:09. | :48:22. | |
but happy to go with a draw. Not a great deal of action on the ball. | :48:23. | :48:32. | |
Now, Matt Kutcher at ten. 9-under par is Mat Kuchar. And this for | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
eagle. Putts were not dropping on the first two days, but they've | :48:38. | :48:46. | |
started to look good. Matt Kutcher goes to 11-under par and in bronze | :48:47. | :48:54. | |
medal position on his own. Just an astonishing round of golf from Matt | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
Kutcher. 6-under for the round, 11-under now. Three back from | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
Stenson and Rose. And as you say, in bronze medal position. You think of | :49:05. | :49:15. | |
how it started. Matt Kutcher found himself with the ball in the water | :49:16. | :49:21. | |
at the 5th hole. He said he was delighted to finish with three | :49:22. | :49:28. | |
birdies in his final four holes in the opening round. Just felt he had | :49:29. | :49:35. | |
himself in play by doing that. When you come down to the final round, | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
Matt Kutcher is alone in third, playing for an historic first | :49:40. | :49:49. | |
Olympic golf medal. In 112 years. Gold, silver and bronze medals to be | :49:50. | :49:57. | |
one today. Henrik Stenson, co-leader on 13-under. This for birdie. Just | :49:58. | :50:09. | |
gone a little through the break. It is a good attempt from there. Should | :50:10. | :50:19. | |
lock that info par. Sergio Garcia, to stay at 7-under on 14. It is a | :50:20. | :50:35. | |
good putt. Sergio Garcia. Putting has gone right in the final round. | :50:36. | :50:43. | |
Marcus Fraser's got work to do, because he will see the leaderboard | :50:44. | :50:46. | |
soon enough to know that Matt Kutcher has gone above him. He needs | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
this on the eighth for birdie to get back to 9-under par where he started | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
his final round. That's not going to drop. He's 8-under, Marcus Fraser. | :50:57. | :51:05. | |
1-over for his round and Matt Kutcher has gone three shots ahead | :51:06. | :51:12. | |
of him. Patrick Reed, with a 64 today. Justin Rose, his birdie putt. | :51:13. | :51:29. | |
Dropped a shot at seven. Looks to make the birdie to claim it back at | :51:30. | :51:32. | |
eight. Retake the lead by one. Justin Rose, goes back to 15-under. | :51:33. | :52:07. | |
Henrik Stenson with his par putt to come. Justin Rose, confidently | :52:08. | :52:14. | |
strides from the eighth green. And why not? Yes, he dropped a shot, but | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
he got it back splendidly. Tucked it in close and got the birdie. Oh | :52:21. | :52:29. | |
dear, Marcus Fraser. Careless. It is also costly. Unfortunately, the man | :52:30. | :52:37. | |
who lives in Melbourne, is going in the wrong direction and Matt Kutcher | :52:38. | :52:42. | |
is going in the right direction. He has gone above him. There should be | :52:43. | :52:50. | |
a tidy up putt for Henrik Stenson. -- this should be. His par on the | :52:51. | :53:00. | |
egg. He will stay at 14-under par, but Justin Rose with his birdie has | :53:01. | :53:10. | |
gone to 15 and leads by one. Now, Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose, the | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
battle is on full Scott Matt Kutcher is making a play. This is Rafael | :53:16. | :53:24. | |
Cabrera-Bello. Birdie chance for the Spaniard. Needed that to go to | :53:25. | :53:32. | |
10-under. Matt Kutcher on 11. On his own at 11-under par in third place. | :53:33. | :53:43. | |
6-under for his round. Thomas Pieters is 5-under for his. Marcus | :53:44. | :53:50. | |
Fraser, unfortunately is 2-over the hits. We have had a 64 from the | :53:51. | :54:02. | |
United States' Patrick Reed. Nine poll, tight in terms of landing | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
areas. A few waste areas that come into play. Plenty of bunkers back | :54:07. | :54:17. | |
prove hazardous. Some large undulations. Real sloping green. It | :54:18. | :54:40. | |
plays shorter. Justin Rose. Instant affirmation from his caddy that that | :54:41. | :54:48. | |
is a decent shot. He knows it as well, he has made so few errors in | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
four days, Justin Rose. Back to the 3-wood for Henrik Stenson. Stenson | :54:55. | :55:06. | |
has missed putts four birdies, but doesn't have a blemish on the card. | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
Rose with the bogey on seven, but he leads by one. Four birdies to three. | :55:12. | :55:25. | |
That 3-wood never fails to deliver for Sweden's Henrik Stenson. So much | :55:26. | :55:38. | |
power, the strength and the power through the legs. Now, Thomas | :55:39. | :55:52. | |
Pieters, going along very nicely. 8-under par, 5-under for the day. | :55:53. | :56:07. | |
Thomas Pieters of Belgium. Good putt. Nice role as well, Thomas | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
Pieters. A little wide and trickles a little way by. Matt Kutcher, how | :56:14. | :56:25. | |
is that for a scorecard? Par, par par and M5 birdies in six holes. | :56:26. | :56:32. | |
Four birdies in six holes, eagle at the 10th. 6-under par, Matt Kutcher | :56:33. | :56:40. | |
and alone in third. Three behind Stenson but two ahead of fourth | :56:41. | :56:42. | |
placed Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Just caught the sand. Heard him | :56:43. | :57:12. | |
saying, stay in the air. He wanted a bit more carry. Just caught the | :57:13. | :57:23. | |
sand, front, right bunker. Sergio Garcia. 7-under. Second shot at 15. | :57:24. | :57:37. | |
Good action. Another birdie opportunity for Sergio Garcia. At | :57:38. | :57:49. | |
the possibility of going 8-under. This shoot out between Britain's | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
Justin Road and Sweden's Henrik Stenson. -- Justin Rose. Matt | :57:54. | :58:03. | |
Kutcher of the United States in the bronze medal position. Bubba Watson | :58:04. | :58:08. | |
at 6-under. Graham DeLaet of Canada has improved his status to 5-under | :58:09. | :58:14. | |
par. Martin Kaymer of Germany, 4-under par. Padraig Harrington, | :58:15. | :58:26. | |
1-over for the day, at 4-under. Danny Leigh, with 69. Danny Willett | :58:27. | :58:36. | |
at 2-under par. 66 from David Hearn of Canada. Ryan Fox of New Zealand, | :58:37. | :58:56. | |
68. And Gavin Green and Danny Chia, the two Malaysians, finishing with | :58:57. | :59:09. | |
below par rounds. Shingo Katayama, 66. What a battle | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
we have at the Olympic Golf Course, it is a showdown for the Gold Medal | :59:15. | :59:18. | |
between Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. BBC Two is the place to go | :59:19. | :59:24. | |
to see how this continues. It was Justin Rose, it looked like at the | :59:25. | :59:28. | |
start of the day, but Henrik Stenson is doing all he can. Right now, BBC | :59:29. | :59:38. | |
Two for more golf. Here on the Olympic Park, we have | :59:39. | :59:43. | |
moved into the shadow of the Olympic Tennis Centre. We are counting down | :59:44. | :59:49. | |
for the final of the Men's Singles competition. Andy Murray looking to | :59:50. | :59:53. | |
retain his London 2012 Olympic Gold Medal. He will take on Juan Martin | :59:54. | :00:05. | |
Del Potro. That will be on BBC One. It is lunchtime here and a wonderful | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
array of stands. In that corner, I am not sure how we have not seen it, | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
wonderful kebabs. Got involved in the kebabs down there. If you are | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
interested and coming down to Rio, they are over there. But over there, | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
there is an initiative between the ITF and the Brazilian tennis | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
foundation to get involved in tennis. Quite a lot of kids getting | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
involved down there. Might have to give it a go and equalise my | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
standard. Plenty going on as we await the Andy Murray final against | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Juan Martin Del Potro. Now we will check in on the question because | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
there are two medals available. They could come for Great Britain. The | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
reigning Olympic team champions in this event, here is your guide to | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
show-jumping. In the show-jumping competition, | :00:57. | :01:08. | |
speed, precision and power are crucial, and this is where the rider | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
and horse have to negotiate between ten and 13 obstacles. If they fail | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
to complete the course within the specified time, knocked down | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
barriers or a horse refuses a jump, they will be penalised. These points | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
are? They did, and the more points a rider or team gets, the less likely | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
they are to progress to the next round. -- accumulated. The first | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
three rounds determine the medal winners in the team event and who | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
makes it through to the final rounds of the individual competition. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Equestrian is the only sport where men and women compete as equals, so | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
show-jumping pits the best of both genders against each other. | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
Great Britain already have two Equestrian battles, what are the | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
chances they could win another in the jumping? Lee McKenzie can bring | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
us up to date. Absolutely scorching here at the | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
Doro, we have had most of the horses out already, but we are going to | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
bring you some of the action, the last one you saw here was the world | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
number one, who had four faults, and that tells you how tough this course | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
behind me is. He is actually the world individual champion, this | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
courses catching both horse and rider out, it is much more | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
technical, we saw Nick Skelton earlier, and next into the ring was | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
the American Kent Farrington making his Olympic debut, let's take a | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
look. Incomes the hot favourite for the | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
United States of America, Kent Farrington, right up at the top of | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
the world rankings, it is the first time he has been picked for the | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Olympic team, but he and Voyeur have been strong candidates for the | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
nations cup for the very successful team manager. They are big Grand | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
Prix money winners, they really are. Won team bronze in the World | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Equestrian Games in 2014, so it is not as if he is not used to the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
pressure of a major championship. And this very definitely is a | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
combination which could be key for the Americans, they have got a very | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
strong team, one of the key teams in the competition. Kent Farrington, we | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
are used to see him galloping flat out around these arenas, winning | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Grands Prix around the world, and as you quite rightly say, the team from | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
the USA is very strong, a lot of horsepower, a lot of experience, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
every single one of them right at the top of the sport, so we would | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
expect to see Kent naturally a very fast rider. He loves to ride forward | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
around these big open this is a horse with an enormous | :04:16. | :04:34. | |
amount of power. And coming into the water with a lot of pace. I think | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
the riders will have watched one or two horses dropping short of the | :04:43. | :04:53. | |
water, one less step to the wall, making sure they do not go on the | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
take. Just one clear at the moment, is this going to be our second? | :04:58. | :05:08. | |
Yes, it is! Voyeur and Kent Farrington, they won back in May in | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
a world-class competition, and they have shown the same wonderful skills | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
there as he has done now. This course really suited Kent Farrington | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
and Voyeur, because they love going forward, taking the strides out, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
attacking the course, and that really was a superb round. Ben | :05:36. | :05:48. | |
Maher, Olympic team medallist on Triple by in London, one of those | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
great moments for the sport. He has been the world number one, he is no | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
longer, but now riding Tic Tac, a new right for Ben this year, just | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
been writing this for some seven months. They seem to have got a | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
pretty good report, but this is a very big test of that rope or, with | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
no man better up for it than Ben Maher. -- rapport. Nick Skelton just | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
had that one unfortunate mistake. Ben working hard to get balance, | :06:21. | :06:37. | |
taking extra stride into the combination. Powerful stallion by | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Clinton. Beautifully written to the water, | :06:43. | :07:02. | |
keeps coming on the level one. Close to that water, I have to say, but | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
turned away very quickly. You just hesitated there, just caught the | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
back rail, so another rider from Britain not going to jump clear. Can | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
he hold it together? Well, what a shame the score is | :07:17. | :07:36. | |
78.10, it will make no difference to the team position for Great Britain, | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
let me tell you, but it will be very responsible in the end of the day. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
The top three scores saying where Britain will go in the draw, and | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
that can be quite important. Yeah, the draw is quite significant, it is | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
much nicer to go at the end. That was a great shame, he rode | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
brilliantly, spot-on everywhere, just had a hesitation at Bendsneyder | :08:00. | :08:22. | |
across the -- at fence nine. Now the German Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum, | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
they won the Nations Cup in Aachen, not put in the team, but it is the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
disappearance of one rider overnight that has brought Meredith in to | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
represent Germany. Germany with one of the clear rounds so far, coming | :08:41. | :09:00. | |
from Christian Ahlmann. This horse is so spectacular to watch, I have | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
never seen one spends so much time in the air. Jumped a brilliant | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
double in the Nations Cup team for Germany. There that is how to jump | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
the water, time in the air, way out over it. | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
You can see Meredith in the air, she almost had to sit back a little bit | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
just to contain this horse. Quite extraordinary, the big jumpy as God. | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Oh, and he hesitated there, even for him it was a bit of a grunt. Oh! Two | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
clear rounds for Germany, they are showing why they are very much | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
fancied to win the gold here. And Meredith, of course American-born, | :10:06. | :10:20. | |
but married Marcus Beare -- markers Beerbaum. Fibonacci was put perfect, | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
the height of the water, that is why so many land in the water, they do | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
not get the height, jump it a bit flat. No problems there for | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Fibonacci. Now a man who has been very crucial in the tremendous | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
success that the Dutch have enjoyed over recent years, Olympic, world | :10:41. | :10:51. | |
and European champions, and this young man Maikel van der Vleuten, | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
riding very much in the footsteps of his father, Eric, riding this lovely | :10:55. | :11:02. | |
stallion, Verdi, one of the top horses in the world on his day. The | :11:03. | :11:17. | |
judge, their first rider was the Olympic champion, he had one down, | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
what can Maikel van der Vleuten do? This is a fascinating horse to | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
watch, because he runs with his head down, very strong on the bridle, and | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
he has got phenomenal scope. He can sometimes pinch a silly little fence | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
somewhere with a lazy jump. This stallion being used very extensively | :11:48. | :11:59. | |
in the studbook. There are Verdi horses everywhere, but he stamps | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
them with this enormous amount of jump. Verdi now 14 years old, he has | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
been a terrific servant to the Dutch team. | :12:13. | :12:27. | |
There is the scope, there is the power, makes that double look very, | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
very easy. Netherlands have got one in the bag, so that will be good | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
news for them. The Germans, at the moment, with the only two clear | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
rounds. 56-year-old Michael Whitaker, great | :12:44. | :13:06. | |
record, won medals in Los Angeles, but this is the first time since | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
2000 that both Michael and John have been in a British team, big | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
occasion, it is the combination that helped Britain qualify in a very big | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
way for these Olympics in Aachen. Cassionato showing an incredible | :13:19. | :13:38. | |
amount of power and scope that he has got. This one by Cassini I, | :13:39. | :13:55. | |
beautiful type of stallion. Has not always found water easy, but he | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
jumped it well today. Michael kept up the rhythm there, six strides to | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
the wall. Both Nick Skelton and he had one fence down at the moment. | :14:12. | :14:20. | |
Has that gone? Yeah, it has gone. So unlucky there! That was desperately | :14:21. | :14:31. | |
unlucky for Michael. Well, it is one for each, as brother John reflects, | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
rider number four for Britain. Interesting morning, it has not been | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
one that necessarily Britain sees as their best ever, but good rounds, | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
the horses Luckwell, they have jumped well, one fence down each, | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
and still the great John Whitaker to come. -- look well. | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
What is he going to produce? He has been in tremendous form. For | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
show-jumping fans around the world, it is such a pleasure to have John | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
Whitaker riding back at this level. Everyone's idea of possibly one of | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
the best riders we have ever seen in the sport. It is fair to say John is | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
a legend already, whatever he does in the future, he is a legend. | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Everyone respects John Whitaker and everyone looks up to him. Silver | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
medal with his brother in Los Angeles. | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
The other British riders all just had that one fence down. John, | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
riding for his life there. Now, this final line. Come on, John. | :15:58. | :16:21. | |
He has done it! What around from the legend himself. That ends in a very | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
good round for Great Britain. Three of them on for faults, but John | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Whitaker going clear on Ornellaia. At 61, riding as | :16:30. | :16:51. | |
well as ever. John, interesting questions to open up this Olympic | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
campaign, and you did it in style. We should not expect anything less. | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
You never know, things can go wrong. Happy with my round, she jumped | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
really good. The second fence, for some reason it is spooking the horse | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
is a bit, and they are backing of it, but she didn't even look at it. | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
What can we expect from her at this level? She has only done one | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
nation's cup. But she has been consistent when it counted. She has | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
had good results in the Grand Prix this year. I gave my chance a chance | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
to make the team, I didn't think I would, but I gave myself the chance | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
and we made it. How special is it to be back at the Olympics? It is | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
really good. Once you get here and see the atmosphere and the tension | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
in the crowd, the Olympic Games, there is nothing like it. Thanks | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
very much. Great to see John back in action. Just over my shoulder that | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
is the current Olympic champion who has just done another clear round. | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
The Dutch are the current world champions in terms of the team. They | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
have had two clear rounds, one whit for faults and an elimination from | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
the individual competition. The stars have been Brazil, and their | :18:20. | :18:28. | |
real star, was only a reserve after he changed horses. But they have had | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
a huge reception. It is great to see after a few empty seats over the | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
last few days, but this place is packed out. We have had all British | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
riders go, but tomorrow we will see if Charlotte Dujardin can add | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
another medal to go with her team silver. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
Great to see the veterans of the jumping team doing well. On the | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
Olympic Park, it is not always about the elite. We are talking | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
grassroots. I told you there would be some kids getting involved, we | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
have an ITF initiation and I have the ITF president here, David Lloyd. | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
Great to see you. It is great to see this action? Fantastic, we have had | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
thousands of kids coming out to play in competition. It is all about | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
leaving something solid behind with the Brazilian tennis Federation when | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
the Olympics are done. David, you have got a bit of a smash. Thank | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
you, I did my best with what I have had to work with. Let's walk over | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
here and see these kids getting in action. Because we will change | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
racket sports right now. Moving on from tennis and talk badminton. We | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
talked about the husband and wife per going in the doubles. Mixed | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
Doubles, seven seeds in the competition. But Great Britain have | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
an eight time national champion, a two-time Commonwealth silver | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
medallist. Has been disappointed not to get past the group stages in | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
2012. In this competition he had a very good start against the check is | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
backing, beating him 2-0. It is in a group of three and only the winner | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
goes into last 16. Yusuf has to win again. The Japanese, beat the cheque | :20:29. | :20:42. | |
in the opening match. Winner takes all. Let's see if Rogic Rusev can | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
make his way into the last 16. Paul Hand, taking you through this | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
must win match the Great Britain. The seventh meeting between these | :21:01. | :21:31. | |
two. They are locked in curiously at three matches each on the head to | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
head showing. Ouseph 12 of the last three. | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
The best of two games will decide this one, of course. But the leftie, | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
a tricky opponent. He has been as high as sixth in the world. | :22:00. | :22:11. | |
Thunderous smash finish from Ouseph. Silver medallist at the European | :22:12. | :22:59. | |
Championships in Russia, 2014. Lost to the seven times national | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
champion. Seven consecutive titles between 2008 and 14, then winning | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
another title this year. National champion again. The reigning | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
national champion, 2016. Has been unheard of to win seven consecutive | :23:19. | :23:19. | |
titles. Twice a silver Commonwealth gold | :23:20. | :23:39. | |
medallist, silver medallist, 2010 and in Glasgow in 2014. Ouseph, | :23:40. | :23:52. | |
tries the Scottish open champion in 2008 and 2011. | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
Wonderful tight, net shot from Britain's finest. | :24:02. | :24:33. | |
Powerful smash from the lefty. 2011, he won the US Open and Australian | :24:34. | :24:48. | |
Open, Sasaki. It was then he nudged up inside the top ten. 2010, he has | :24:49. | :24:58. | |
had winds at the Dutch open and the soccer international Challenger | :24:59. | :24:58. | |
Event. -- Osaka. Power/ to put the point away. Has | :24:59. | :25:29. | |
been probing, to a few points so far. Both men so precise with their | :25:30. | :25:31. | |
shot placement. 2016 for Ouseph was highlighted by | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
the Indonesian open in June. Semifinalist at the European | :25:43. | :25:59. | |
Championships in April 2016. It is a 3-point game in favour of | :26:00. | :26:34. | |
the British number one, the 13th seed. | :26:35. | :26:58. | |
Just a little short with the lift and Sasaki, capitalising. | :26:59. | :27:37. | |
Good leave, after a fast, fat drive of the backhand. Bit of a disparity | :27:38. | :28:04. | |
in height. One of the beauties of Babington, it is not height | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
dependent like some other racket sports. So Ouseph with a 5-point | :28:08. | :28:18. | |
lead here. A very strong start from him. He had stood amid game interval | :28:19. | :28:32. | |
now. Ahead by six points, which will delight him, I'm sure. He's kind of | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
underperformed slightly on the big stages. A chance to put the record | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
straight. Was a silver medallist in 2014, round of 16 at the World | :28:44. | :28:51. | |
Championships in Paris 2010, but didn't come out of the group says at | :28:52. | :28:59. | |
the Olympics. Bertie is targeting the quarterfinals in this event. -- | :29:00. | :29:02. | |
but he is. Up against it now. This is a man of | :29:03. | :30:02. | |
talent just glides around the court. Good play from Sasaki there, just | :30:03. | :30:35. | |
overextending Rajiv with a hard backhand. This man makes things look | :30:36. | :30:42. | |
easy most of the time, he has got a silky smoothness about the way he | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
goes about his business on the badminton court. | :30:46. | :30:55. | |
Power smash from the lefty, but his body weight down through that one | :30:56. | :31:02. | |
nicely. Behind it, well, he is a super athlete. And his compatriot, | :31:03. | :31:14. | |
fellow Japanese player, Yamaguchi, won earlier out on court number two. | :31:15. | :31:24. | |
He has competed in four Asian Games, his best was a silver marble in | :31:25. | :31:34. | |
Korea a couple of years ago -- silver medal. | :31:35. | :31:53. | |
That was called long, just spilling over the back line, so tense times, | :31:54. | :32:01. | |
this, for Rajiv Ouseph, as this man launches a bit of a comeback here. | :32:02. | :32:34. | |
Oh! Some really good defensive play, Ouseph is caught by the tall man, | :32:35. | :32:45. | |
but unable to contain the Japanese player in the end, what a close that | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
was. Very aggressive lakes throughout that point from Sasaki, | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
best point of the match so far. -- legs. So it is a one point game in | :32:56. | :33:05. | |
Ouseph's favour, can he hold on here? | :33:06. | :33:19. | |
That is spilled long again. Anxious moments for the coaching team and | :33:20. | :33:32. | |
the British fans as well, as Sasaki really has raised his game. He has | :33:33. | :33:38. | |
been frugal in error of late, putting more pressure on the British | :33:39. | :33:40. | |
number one now. The lifts spills wide, and isn't he | :33:41. | :34:07. | |
tight with his shots? Super control from Sasaki, a man who announced his | :34:08. | :34:14. | |
retirement from competition earlier this year but changed his mind when | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
he was selected for the national squad ahead of the Olympic Games in | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
Rio. Quite remarkable he received the people's honour from his | :34:24. | :34:31. | |
birthplace earlier in the year. Only ten world ranking spots between | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
these two athletes, a reminder that only the group winner makes it to | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
the knockout stages, so it is a must win match for both of these men. | :34:43. | :34:54. | |
Goods lift off the backhand from Rajiv Ouseph, forcing a rare error | :34:55. | :35:07. | |
from this man. His nimble agility is quite majestic. Ouseph with more of | :35:08. | :35:15. | |
a languid style. He is a much bigger man, seven inches taller, gliding | :35:16. | :35:17. | |
around. Oh, that is thunderous from Rajiv | :35:18. | :35:40. | |
Ouseph, and timely as well, because Sasaki is directing much of this | :35:41. | :35:44. | |
traffic towards the backhand of Ouseph. That is the reason why, | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
powerful smash there, he has hit a couple like that that have recently | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
spilled over the back line, but that one found its mark. Still a one | :35:55. | :35:57. | |
point game in favour of Ouseph. Well, it is a fabulous lift, deep to | :35:58. | :36:24. | |
the backhand corner of Sasaki, great follow-up, really exhibiting calm | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
and self trust now, Rajiv Ouseph, six points away from the opening | :36:30. | :36:30. | |
game in this race to 21. Well, he wants to challenge. I can | :36:31. | :36:42. | |
understand why, it was close. Well, tense moments, these, then, as | :36:43. | :37:10. | |
we had upstairs for the instant review. It has been a match of | :37:11. | :37:21. | |
precise shotmaking, real quality, aggressive legs, top fitness from | :37:22. | :37:39. | |
both. So it was indeed out. It is a three point lead now for the British | :37:40. | :37:41. | |
number one. Oh, he hit the tape with the smash. | :37:42. | :38:14. | |
Rajiv Ouseph, who just seems to have so much time on the shovel, reads | :38:15. | :38:24. | |
the game very quickly. -- Shuffle. This man ever dangerous in this | :38:25. | :38:27. | |
opening game. Four points between them now. | :38:28. | :38:42. | |
Yeah, the lift was too short there from Rajiv. This man with some | :38:43. | :38:49. | |
really good touch on the tight net shots, cross, straight, real | :38:50. | :38:56. | |
precision heading. It is a three point game, and a very tense one. | :38:57. | :39:06. | |
Coach just catching his eye and ear for some timely advice. | :39:07. | :39:24. | |
Just buckling under all the physicality, Sasaki there, so three | :39:25. | :39:29. | |
points away from this opener. A gorgeous little reverse slice in | :39:30. | :39:59. | |
that previous rally that really did open up the Briton's court and | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
exposed him as a consequence. That is a telling return, so | :40:03. | :40:22. | |
deceptive from Ouseph. This man ever dangerous, though, he has engineered | :40:23. | :40:28. | |
a run of six consecutive points, Sho Sasaki, in this opening game. Rusev | :40:29. | :40:34. | |
is now two points away from the first game, can he hold on here? -- | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
Ouseph. Five game point opportunities for | :40:39. | :41:10. | |
the man from Hounslow. Good leave, he secures the opening game, then, | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
21-16. ORE ODUBA: And another win notched | :41:15. | :41:31. | |
up for Great Britain's Rajiv Ouseph, two wins out of two, because after | :41:32. | :41:38. | |
winning that first game, he took the second one by 20 1-9 against Sasaki | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
of Japan to make it through for the first time to the last 16 at the | :41:44. | :41:49. | |
Olympic Games. This pump, Rajiv goes through. | :41:50. | :42:23. | |
He is a genetic superstar, Max Whitlock, already a medallist in Rio | :42:24. | :42:31. | |
after the all-round final, but canny add to the tally? -- gymnastics | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
superstar. In that arena tonight, Max Whitlock will be going in the | :42:38. | :42:47. | |
men's for final, that will be on BBC Two in around 20 minutes' time. Then | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
he will go up against his own team-mate and great rival and friend | :42:52. | :42:57. | |
Lewis Smith on the pommel horse. The two finished 1-2 at the World | :42:58. | :43:00. | |
Championships last year, it could happen again, but which way around? | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
That is about 7:30, most likely on BBC One. From the gymnastics, let's | :43:06. | :43:11. | |
walk this way, because over the last few nights we have seen some new | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
mental clashes in the Olympic Velodrome. We sought sprint wins, | :43:16. | :43:23. | |
team pursuit wins, and yesterday the velodrome did not disappoint. | :43:24. | :43:39. | |
The world champions, the United States of America, against Great | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
Britain, four times world champion, what an Olympic final we have on our | :43:45. | :43:50. | |
hands here. Some long terms by the team. We knew it would be close, and | :43:51. | :43:57. | |
the likelihood is that it's probably still will be, but the USA have gone | :43:58. | :44:03. | |
down to three. With two laps to go, Great Britain are heading for the | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
gold medal, 2.7 seconds is the advantage here, with Laura Trott | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
still on the track, Elinor Barker and Katie Archibald. Surely this | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
will be a new world record as they take the bell, putting everything | :44:18. | :44:21. | |
into this, they can see their opponents. The final lap of the | :44:22. | :44:28. | |
Olympic final is going to be a right to glory for Great Britain, one | :44:29. | :44:31. | |
final bend and into the finishing straight, and up towards the line, | :44:32. | :44:35. | |
gold for Great Britain! They have smashed the world record, out of | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
this world, and historic moment for British sport as well! Laura Trott, | :44:41. | :44:45. | |
the first British woman ever to win three Olympic gold medals. | :44:46. | :44:51. | |
A world record, we thought it might take one to win this gold medal? | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
Yes, but didn't think we would do it three times over. To come here and | :44:58. | :45:03. | |
be able to achieve it was incredible. Becky James is up | :45:04. | :45:12. | |
against stiff competition. The race is on now. Right at the back is | :45:13. | :45:22. | |
Becky James. With less than two laps, Becky James with plenty to do. | :45:23. | :45:27. | |
James needs to get herself forward here. Christine Vogel is coming up | :45:28. | :45:37. | |
to second. Onto the shoulder of the Dutch woman. Becky James is making | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
inroads, goes around the outside. It is a long way. Becky James, on the | :45:43. | :45:54. | |
last lap. Powered her way round almost the entire field. It is | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
definitely silver for Becky James. Many congratulations. You talked | :46:01. | :46:06. | |
about dark days coming into this Olympics, what does that mean? I am | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
lost for words. I can't believe what has just happened. I am over the | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
moon. I came in with really good form and that's what I needed. I | :46:17. | :46:26. | |
love the Kerin, and I was at the back and I thought, when do I go? I | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
was so desperate for that medal. He fought so hard for it, and to see | :46:33. | :46:38. | |
you celebrating with your family, how special was it to celebrate with | :46:39. | :46:44. | |
them? My mum has never been on long haul flight, so to have them here | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
has been so special. It has been a tough 18 months, two years I | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
couldn't have done it without their help. An emotional silver medal for | :46:55. | :47:03. | |
Becky James in the Kerin, after all she has been through. A sensational | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
team gold for the women's team pursuit. The tally is up to 30 going | :47:09. | :47:16. | |
into day nine and they are in third place at the moment. What a view | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
that is, not least the site of Rio behind it. Great Britain have | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
another chance. Not even a chance, guaranteed two more medals tonight. | :47:27. | :47:32. | |
The men's sprint final will feature two Brits, Jason Kenney and Callum | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
Skinner in the gold medal race. Guaranteed gold and silver. 9pm this | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
evening on BBC One. Good luck to both Brits going in that. More | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
medals surely guaranteed for Justin Rose at the Olympic Golf Course. | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
Earlier, there was a great showdown going on in the final row between | :47:53. | :47:58. | |
Justin Rose and the 2016 open champion, Henrik Stenson. I wonder | :47:59. | :48:04. | |
what the state of affairs is now? Cats, Great Britain want to see | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
another medal, Justin Rose wants the gold medal, what is the state of | :48:10. | :48:15. | |
play? Max Whitlock and Louis Smith, going head-to-head in the pommel | :48:16. | :48:19. | |
horse final in the gymnastics later. Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson, | :48:20. | :48:24. | |
going head to head on the last day of the golf. It is tight. They have | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
been neck and neck, they threw 11 holes. Both tied for the lead | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
15-under par as it stands. They are looking very likely to claim the | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
gold and silver. No guaranteed in goal. Matt Kutcher have the United | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
States has been creeping up the leaderboard. An eagle on the tenth | :48:44. | :48:50. | |
and is at 11-under par through 13. He is doing well, moved into the | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
bronze medal position and just four shots from the leaders, Henrik | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
Stenson and Justin Rose, as they go through 11. Let's bring you | :48:59. | :49:04. | |
up-to-date with what you have missed. The decisive moment of the | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
round for Henrik Stenson was this birdie for him at the 10th. That | :49:09. | :49:15. | |
just brought him into a tie for the lead with Justin Rose. Has been one | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
shot behind all the way through, but that is when he hunted his good | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
friend, Justin Rose down. They are tied for the lead now, through 11, | :49:25. | :49:27. | |
so let's join the live action. Two wonderful days we have been | :49:28. | :49:44. | |
blessed with, in terms of whether were the weekend of this men's | :49:45. | :49:54. | |
individual stroke play. Thomas Pieters, one of the longest hitters | :49:55. | :50:05. | |
in this field. Has 242 metres, 265 yards to the hole here at the last. | :50:06. | :50:11. | |
Thomas Pieters of Belgian, can he make the green with his second and | :50:12. | :50:12. | |
give himself an eagle putt? That is falling down on the | :50:13. | :50:35. | |
right-hand side of the green. A series of hollows on the front of | :50:36. | :50:42. | |
the green. At 12, this is Justin Rose. Has gone a bit left here, but | :50:43. | :50:49. | |
he is OK. He is on the fairway, just on the wrong one. | :50:50. | :51:01. | |
Holes five, 12 and 11 run parallel to each other, running in different | :51:02. | :51:14. | |
directions. There is one shared patch between all three holes, and | :51:15. | :51:21. | |
he has found that landing area. It is going to be Justin Rose to go | :51:22. | :51:33. | |
first here on 12. 272 yards to the hole. | :51:34. | :51:53. | |
APPLAUSE It is OK, just in front. Not for the | :51:54. | :52:04. | |
first time today, Marcus Fraser finds himself in this sandy stuff. | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
Footing can be a bit soft. Marcus Fraser... Just looks like he | :52:09. | :52:32. | |
has hopped it further up into trouble. Stenson, perfect tee shot | :52:33. | :52:47. | |
for the Swede. 213 yards, 195 metres to the pin here on 12. Sharing the | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
lead with Justin Rose at 15-under par. | :52:54. | :53:18. | |
Just coming up short. It is a tough hole, even with the wind helping of | :53:19. | :53:29. | |
the left. Dagnall, not too far wrong, so should have a decent go at | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
it from there. Matt Kutcher, Purdy putt on 14. -- birdie. Satisfied | :53:37. | :53:58. | |
with that putt. Representing the stars and stripes, Matt Kutcher. | :53:59. | :54:07. | |
Bubba Watson, has a birdie opportunity on 13 to get to 8-under | :54:08. | :54:18. | |
par. He might not sleep at night after the number of putts he has | :54:19. | :54:25. | |
missed. Bubba Watson, Sergio Garcia, if you combine the number of | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
makeable putts they have missed, it would be very hard to have a | :54:30. | :54:39. | |
peaceful, restful sleep. 18th hole, this is where Thomas Pieters has | :54:40. | :54:44. | |
found his way up. Down to the right, the flag on the front left today. | :54:45. | :54:49. | |
The bunker protecting immediately behind. Then slipping away, | :54:50. | :54:53. | |
particularly down the front from every angle. Thomas Pieters, just in | :54:54. | :55:08. | |
the hollow, front right of this 18th green. Has got to hurry. Coming up | :55:09. | :55:15. | |
short. Left himself a bit of work to do. Still in the sand, this horrible | :55:16. | :55:26. | |
stuff, Marcus Fraser. He has done well to get out, but he is therefore | :55:27. | :55:37. | |
three. -- there for three. All., this. It is, and the ball so high | :55:38. | :55:43. | |
above his feet. Unsteady on your feet. It feels like standing on a | :55:44. | :55:49. | |
sand dune, either in desert conditions or on a sloping beach | :55:50. | :55:58. | |
sand you. Really not easy. -- sand June. Rafael Cabrera-Bello, is | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
coming up short. Justin Rose, preparing for his third | :56:03. | :56:27. | |
at 12. He left his second a little shorter than Stenson because he had | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
driven onto the parallel fifth fairway rather than going down the | :56:32. | :56:41. | |
12th. He had significantly longer. Standstill. Nice and still, thank | :56:42. | :56:50. | |
you. This pitch, with not a great deal of danger. Slightly back to | :56:51. | :56:56. | |
front sloping green. Should help get some action on the ball. | :56:57. | :57:07. | |
Another reset. Cameras going off all the time. Virtually on his | :57:08. | :57:15. | |
backswing. Very good from Justin Rose. After | :57:16. | :57:51. | |
the reset, you wonder if the shot is going to come off correctly, but | :57:52. | :57:55. | |
Justin Rose, perfectly off the surface and got the distance spot | :57:56. | :58:01. | |
on. Felt in might have been just a little bit short. | :58:02. | :58:13. | |
Thomas Pieters. How did that mess? It looked to be so good, Thomas | :58:14. | :58:27. | |
Pieters. He couldn't have hit that much better, he really couldn't | :58:28. | :58:32. | |
have. Thomas Pieters will finish up here with 65 today, if he knocks | :58:33. | :58:38. | |
that in. He will be 9-under par, leader in the clubhouse. He will | :58:39. | :58:45. | |
have a very anxious, nervous wait. Not necessarily for Stenson and | :58:46. | :58:48. | |
Justin Rose, but Matt Kutcher's closing holes. This is Stenson now, | :58:49. | :58:58. | |
just off the front of the green, putting. Has it got the legs? Chased | :58:59. | :59:15. | |
it up close. Their say we will see Stenson and Justin Rose finished | :59:16. | :59:17. | |
this hole at 15-under. Go down to all square with six holes | :59:18. | :59:34. | |
to play. Marcus Fraser, first. Par effort. | :59:35. | :59:57. | |
He began the day at 9-under par. He has found the sound twice. That is | :59:58. | :00:25. | |
another hole-mac gone for Australia's Marcus Fraser, and he | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
drops back to 6-under. Justin Rose will go for his par-mac, 15-under | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
par, sharing the lead with Henrik Stenson. | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
He began his professional career with 21 consecutive missed cuts, | :00:56. | :01:09. | |
back in 1998. And finished tied for fourth as the low parameter in the | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
Open Championship of that year. He said it was the most traumatic time | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
of his life and here he is bidding for gold. It is a solid par. Think | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
back to 1998, he pitched it for the tie for fourth. His short game was | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
always so solid as an amateur golfer, Justin Rose. Stenson just | :01:32. | :01:43. | |
trying to make sure this is not where you want to slip up. Any | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
mistake from either one of these two, Rose or Stenson, could prove | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
costly. Both 15-under for the Championship. Neither one of them | :02:01. | :02:12. | |
has gone worse than 69. Stenson 66, 68, 60 eight. Rose went 65 yesterday | :02:13. | :02:22. | |
in round three. This first par at 12, Stenson. Easily does it. So, all | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
square. There is six to play. A little earlier, this is for | :02:31. | :02:54. | |
birdie, Kiradech Aphibarnrat. Currently, that is his fifth. Thomas | :02:55. | :03:06. | |
Pieters, just to finish up at 18, should be a par tap pen, and it is. | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
Thomas Pieters, after two rounds on 67 and 66 was 9-under through two | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
rounds. After 77 on the third round, he needed to make all those shots | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
back today. There is a hug and embrace from his countryman, Nicolas | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Colsaerts. He's the clubhouse leader on 9-under, Thomas Pieters. Second | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
at 15, Kuchar. He likes it very much. He has really | :03:38. | :04:01. | |
burned this golf course today. Aphibarnrat, he has had a couple of | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
scoring runs that have been impressive. 4-under today, 8-under | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
for the Championship. Hand-off the club and saying down, down, down. It | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
does get down. It has gone left for Aphibarnrat. The golfer, it is an up | :04:19. | :04:35. | |
and down 71. He is 4-under today today through 15. At 16, he has just | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
gone left. Trudging up to the 13th hole. It is very tight of the tee | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
down the 13th hole, par-4, playing 430 metres today, and then a big | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
dogleg to the right. It is wide on the dogleg, big landing area. The | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
bunker just on the back right, and a little long as well, this bunker, | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
just protecting the green ever so slightly. You don't want to miss | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
right. Plenty of landing area, you could try to cut the corner slightly | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
and have a shorter approach in. It is Stenson first off the tee at 13. | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
He has taken it out why to the left. He will have a longer approach, but | :05:37. | :06:05. | |
a good one. So, Thomas Pieters thereon the | :06:06. | :06:22. | |
leaderboard. 65, having just completed his round, Thomas Pieters | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
of Belgium. Stenson safely down the fairway on 13. | :06:28. | :06:50. | |
Going with the iron, the premium on accuracy. It is narrow and 13. -- on | :06:51. | :07:10. | |
13. Up ahead, the South Korean, Byeonghun An. This is a moment ago | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
at 18. How about this for a finish? Playing for the grandstands. A | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
flourishing finish for the Korean golfer, whose parents were both | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
Olympic medallists. His Chinese mother and his Korean father, a | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
bronze medal, both in table tennis. Now he, too, is an Olympian. What I | :07:39. | :07:50. | |
way to finish. -- what a way to finish. Jam-packed today. There are | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
parts of this gallery standing that are seven or eight people deep. Matt | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
Kuchar for birdie at 15. Needs to go 12-under. He's got it. And now with | :08:06. | :08:21. | |
the good scoring holes to come, Matt Kuchar, through 15, is 12-under, | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
he's got 16, 17, 18 to come. There is a little danger to be had but | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
generally, they are very good scoring holes and now you get a | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
sense that Matt Kuchar, look at that scorecard... 7-under today, 12-under | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
for the Championship, not a blemish on the card. Matt Kuchar, and that | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
is an eagle on ten. You get the sense he's secured himself an | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
Olympic medal now. There is a long way to go yet. There is a lot of | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
golf to be played. Absolutely. Bubba Watson for birdie on the 14th. | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
It has got to go and it isn't going to. He left it short. Now | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
Aphibarnrat. He's the only golfer out on the course within four of | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
Kuchar. Thomas Pieters in the clubhouse on 4-under, Aphibarnrat is | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
the only golfer within four of Kuchar. And he is at 16, looking for | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
birdie. Not unthinkable to finish 4-under par. Birdie, birdie, eagle. | :09:46. | :10:02. | |
Needed to make that. Golfers can still get into trouble here. Far | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
from done and dusted. Kuchar is 12-under, Rose and Stenson at | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
15-under. Thomas Pieters is also in the clubhouse, and you're getting | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
the sense the gold, silver and bronze, they are not decided, but | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
you get an idea of where they're going, though. Justin Rose, here on | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
13, he went with the iron off the tee. Perfect where he is, no problem | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
there. A little bit of a stretch for Henrik Stenson. Tension can manifest | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
itself in many ways. That is what happens when you play with camans on | :10:49. | :10:55. | |
golf courses. 194 yards to the hole on this 13th. | :10:56. | :11:18. | |
That is a great shot. Stay there, stay there... | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
Justin Rose just finding the sand on the 13th. Watching that second shot | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
was his team-mate Danny Willett. He finished on even par for the whole | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
tournament, 3-over today. What's your assessment of your performance? | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
It's been pretty poor, to be honest. Nothing went my way. Unfortunately, | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
four days ago, you knew you weren't going to be too far in the mix with | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
a score like this. Disappointing, but the experience has been pretty | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
good so looking forward to getting back now, getting rested and then we | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
have a couple of tournaments for the Ryder Cup. Absolutely. Let's bring | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
you back to this one before you go. First-time golf has been in the | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
Olympics for 112 years. What has been your experience of its return | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
to the Olympics? It's been very good. Like you say, it is very | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
different. By staying in the Olympic village, you get to mix with the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
guys. The top two and staying in the Olympic Village, which might say | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
something for itself, but, no, the whole experience has been very good. | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
Like I said, it's disappointing to come here, to put the working, you | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
try to play well and unfortunately you don't. Justin Rose is your Team | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
GB team-mate. Will you be him on? We have a flight to catch and some bits | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
to sort, so we will see. I'm sure he'll be all right on his own. If | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
you have five minutes, I'm sure he will appreciate a cheer. Thanks for | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
stopping by. Cheers. You get a sense that if he finishes | :13:13. | :13:25. | |
if the -- like he did before, and if Stenson isn't picking up shots | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
through 13, 14... This is the Frenchman, Gregory Bourdy. Not a | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
cloud in the sky. What a beautiful afternoon it is here in Rio de | :13:44. | :13:55. | |
Janeiro. It just stops. He is playing alongside Kiradech | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
Aphibarnrat, one of the star performers of the day. This is a | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
birdie putt 16. He still 8-under for the Championship. He has the 9-iron | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
out. Stays out a little bit right. So, a | :14:10. | :14:23. | |
long birdie opportunity. His home in Bali might be on the | :14:24. | :14:55. | |
cards after the ups and downs he's gone through here. He is playing the | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
wedge-mac. He surfs to relax, he might need some surfing after this. | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
He stuck it out to the right. It's all right. It's just recovered. I | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
thought it was going into the bunker. Back to 13. Justin Rose | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
finding the sand with his second. Hasn't got a tonne of green to work | :15:22. | :15:40. | |
with here. Very soft on the slope up to the front lip. Justin Rose, his | :15:41. | :15:55. | |
third shot on 13 on the par-4 13th. He's done fantastically well. You | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
wanted it to run on just a little. He can't believe he stopped it, but | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
he has. Landed like a bag of flour. Didn't | :16:04. | :16:20. | |
go anywhere. Henrik Stenson is across the other side of the green. | :16:21. | :16:33. | |
Maybe about 28 feet or so. But a birdie putt, most importantly. | :16:34. | :16:54. | |
Putt for birdie for the co-leader Henrik Stenson of Sweden. | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
40 years of age. Justin Rose is 36. Turned pro in 1998. Both turned pro | :17:04. | :17:20. | |
the same year. Henrik Stenson with a birdie attempt | :17:21. | :17:34. | |
on 13. This is to go to 16-under par. That has a little tail on it, | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
as well. At 15, here is Bubba Watson. The | :17:41. | :17:54. | |
charge just hasn't come from Bubba Watson. 1-under on the day. 7-under | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
for the Championship. Bubba Watson gets himself into a | :17:59. | :18:20. | |
position for a good finish. Here at 18, | :18:21. | :18:33. | |
a 74. A birdie finish. Bit of a hard slog for the golfer who was once the | :18:34. | :18:45. | |
world's top ranked amateur. Great finish. He will leave the Olympic | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
golf competition with very fond memories with a finish like that. | :18:53. | :19:05. | |
The reaction from the galleries... Aphibarnrat for a birdie on 17. The | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
cheers will be heard all across the golf course, especially on this back | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
nine. Aphibarnrat... From the kingdom of smiles. That must bring a | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
smile. That means he is now up with Thomas Pieters at 9-under, Kiradech | :19:30. | :19:39. | |
Aphibarnrat. This is a big putt right here. Out of the sand, it | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
didn't go anywhere. It just landed, it stopped. Wanted it to run on just | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
a couple more feet, but Justin Rose as this for an up and down for his | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
par on 13. This to stay at 15-under. That's the second bogey of his round | :19:54. | :20:17. | |
for Justin Rose, and he drops back to 14-under par, but Henrik Stenson | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
still has to make his faux pas. These greens have got little | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
nuances. Nuances all across them and another putt that has gone by for | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
Justin Rose. Right now, Justin Rose has just | :20:36. | :21:01. | |
conceded the lead with that missed putt. He bogeyed the seventh. | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
Henrik Stenson just taking his time over this, as well he might. This | :21:10. | :21:21. | |
four part for Stenson. -- this is the par. Stenson makes par and Leeds | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
at 15-under, on his own, as they go to the par-3/14. Henrik Stenson | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
saving par, Justin Rose drops one back and Matt Kuchar has an eagle | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
Potts to join Justin Rose on 14-under up at 16. -- eagle putt. He | :21:41. | :21:58. | |
can't quite believe that. Sit, sit, sit, steady. | :21:59. | :22:13. | |
An eagle putt for the Mexican. All you need to do is listen to the | :22:14. | :22:31. | |
gallery. The grandstand for Rodolfo Cazaubon. Mexico's representative | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
finishers and tosses his ball to a very appreciative grandstand. Great | :22:37. | :22:52. | |
finish, but no medal for Cazaubon. Emiliano Grillo of Argentina. What a | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
day we have had today. Putts, chips, going in from all angles. Emiliano | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
Grillo struggled on the green, so is going without the flat stick. Matt | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
Kuchar has gone beyond here by 12, 14 feet on this short par-4 16th. | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
This is a hole with the top pros want to make birdie at lease. Could | :23:22. | :23:38. | |
go 13-under here. For birdie. You can't believe it. He has run round a | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
view putts the four days -- a view putts. | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
Look at his reaction. Runs around it. Oh, so close! Spectators with | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
the American flag. They were bouncing, absolutely bouncing. How | :24:07. | :24:18. | |
close! Big tee shot... Guys, please put the phones and cameras away. How | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
many times have the caddies had to say that? 212 metres. 3-iron for | :24:24. | :24:36. | |
Sweden's Henrik Stenson, who leads the Olympic men's individual stroke | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
play Championship by one ahead of Justin Rose of Britain. | :24:42. | :24:58. | |
Is it going into the sand? It will stop, but he definitely wasted that. | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
He has tugged this one, hasn't he? Henrik Stenson going into 14 looking | :25:08. | :25:22. | |
to find the green on this longer par-3. The man who led the first | :25:23. | :25:36. | |
round with a 63, Marcus Fraser, going in with hybrid. | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
That is a good shot. 212 metres, this 14th par-3. | :25:46. | :26:00. | |
Bubba Watson looking for his birdie at 15 to go 8-under. How many putt | :26:01. | :26:10. | |
Ali have slipped by for him today? Oh, yet another one! 14th, Justin | :26:11. | :26:22. | |
Rose, also going with a 3-iron here. Stenson is off the green, he has | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
missed the green. It is looking right. It is sand. But | :26:25. | :26:45. | |
at least it is not plugged. So, two misses on 14. That future -- Matt | :26:46. | :26:57. | |
Kuchar steps up. Not a longer par-3 at all. He has his wedge in hand. | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
After the 3-putt at 16, still 12-under and well in contention for | :27:05. | :27:06. | |
an Olympic medal. Brilliant. What a draw. Matt Kuchar | :27:07. | :27:35. | |
playing at 17. If he taps that in, he will be just one shy of Justin | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
Rose. Started out to the right and drew it back in. What a play, Matt | :27:41. | :27:50. | |
Kuchar. What a round, Matt Kuchar! You've got to think he will think | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
that and go 8-under par on the day and 13-under par for the | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
Championship. Henrik Stenson has been working his back and he is | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
having a little treatment here. He was stretching a little earlier on | :28:10. | :28:20. | |
ten and 11. Now he is... The Swedish official is working on his back. Not | :28:21. | :28:29. | |
a great sign, I'm afraid. Justin Rose, trailing by one. Facing off | :28:30. | :28:44. | |
with his Ryder Cup team-mate. Padraig Harrington, to under. -- two | :28:45. | :28:53. | |
under. Three-time major winner, Padraig Harrington. Anything you can | :28:54. | :29:01. | |
do, I can do better, he says to Matt Kuchar. Beautiful effort. | :29:02. | :29:08. | |
Just inside Matt Kuchar. Oh, yes. A knowing nod. Three-time major | :29:09. | :29:18. | |
champion, Padraig Harrington. On this 14th hole, Henrik Stenson, | :29:19. | :29:28. | |
apart from having some on the spot physiotherapy for whatever | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
discomfort he has in his back, he is off the green, left of the green, | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
and Justin Rose has found the sand. Both of them took 3-iron, 212 metres | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
on this par-3. It's got to go. It has got to go. 12 | :29:43. | :30:18. | |
or 13 feet, maybe, for Justin Rose. So, Henrik Stenson on the other side | :30:19. | :30:47. | |
of this green. Matt Kuchar on 17 has had a birdie | :30:48. | :31:19. | |
opportunity from about one foot, maybe 15 inches. He looks likely to | :31:20. | :31:29. | |
go 13-under. Rose has a par putt from 14 feet. Stenson playing his | :31:30. | :31:31. | |
second here on this par three. Oh, dear. That took a bad bounce. | :31:32. | :31:55. | |
Henrik Stenson Justin Rose struggling on the 14th. Rickie | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
Fowler finished on the 18th. Even par for the tournament. As a | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
cheerleader for golf, you're disappointed not to be in the | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
medals. Yes, it wasn't the week I was looking for on the golf course. | :32:11. | :32:15. | |
Away from that, it's been amazing. So the experience of being out here | :32:16. | :32:20. | |
in Rio and at the Olympics has been awesome. I had a good day yesterday, | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
playing well, and it shows you how much of a fine line that is. I think | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
I've been close to playing some good golf, it was nice to see a glimpse | :32:29. | :32:32. | |
of it yesterday. I feel I'm in a better place this week. We've seen | :32:33. | :32:37. | |
Matt Kuchar hole a birdie on the 17th. Bronze medal for him. He's | :32:38. | :32:42. | |
catching up with the leaders. It is good to see him have a good day | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
today. For him to get the last spot on the team, he made 15th in the | :32:48. | :32:55. | |
world, it is pretty special to see him play today. Him and his caddy, | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
always a great team. Were going to head out to the 18th, are you going | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
to cheer him home? I don't want to get in the way of anything. Glad | :33:07. | :33:13. | |
you've enjoyed your Olympics. Thanks for stopping by. | :33:14. | :33:21. | |
Every moment of being at the Olympic Games. Well, Matt Kuchar, plenty | :33:22. | :33:26. | |
positive comments for Matt Kuchar, little fist bumps. This is a | :33:27. | :33:33. | |
brilliant. He is 8-under par for his round of golf, and he still has 18 | :33:34. | :33:39. | |
to go where he can easily make birdie. An eagle at ten, and | :33:40. | :33:45. | |
birdies, six of them on the scorecard for Matt Kuchar. Two in | :33:46. | :33:55. | |
the last few holes at 15 and 17. Stenson goes first on the 14. He is | :33:56. | :34:01. | |
further from the hole than Justin Rose. This is the par to stay at | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
15-under par. It is drifting by, never enough. | :34:05. | :34:17. | |
Bogey for Stenson. That is his first bogey of the round. Bogey on 14. | :34:18. | :34:31. | |
Drops back to 14-under par. So, leaders on 14-under. Rose has a par | :34:32. | :34:39. | |
putt to come. And Matt Kuchar is on 13-under. Perhaps he's not aware of | :34:40. | :34:52. | |
what is happening behind him. With a good 18th hole, he could be on for | :34:53. | :35:04. | |
silver. Depending what happens between Rose and Stenson. If he | :35:05. | :35:08. | |
doesn't make this, Matt Kuchar is level with him. Par putt. Character | :35:09. | :35:18. | |
building! And confidence building. What a putt that is from Justin | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
Rose. ORE: That is the perfect place to | :35:23. | :35:27. | |
pause things on the golf just for the moment as Justin Rose closes in | :35:28. | :35:31. | |
on what could be an Olympic gold because we have news and history to | :35:32. | :35:37. | |
bring you from the gymnastics Olympic Arena. Max Whitlock of | :35:38. | :35:42. | |
Huntingdon gym has just become the first British gymnast to win an | :35:43. | :35:46. | |
Olympic medal on the floor and, guess what? It was gold! Golfer Max | :35:47. | :35:55. | |
Whitlock. Hugely emotional. It was Brazil's silver and bronze, but Max | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
Whitlock with the top honours. The best thing about it is he isn't done | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
for the day. Max Whitlock going in the pommel horse final in an hour's | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
time against his team-mate Louis Smith. It's all to come. Max | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
Whitlock enjoying the moment, he's the Olympic champion on floor. | :36:15. | :36:15. | |
Justin Rose, what can you do? The real bunkers you need to worry | :36:16. | :36:29. | |
about are on the front left of the green. And then the flag is tucked | :36:30. | :36:36. | |
away. That is on the back left. 25 one, six right. Back right, rather. | :36:37. | :36:44. | |
Fraser on the tee. 3-wood. What a putt that was. Cameraman, | :36:45. | :37:06. | |
tuck in. Goes through the same pre-shot | :37:07. | :37:32. | |
routine. It follows the flag. Very good place | :37:33. | :38:10. | |
to be. Good angle into the green as well. It is tucked back right today. | :38:11. | :38:16. | |
It is a decent approach angle from there. That is some power Justin | :38:17. | :38:23. | |
Rose has managed to work into his swing over the years. Going with | :38:24. | :38:31. | |
iron here, Henrik Stenson. 375 metres, 410 yards, Stenson has just | :38:32. | :38:42. | |
made his first bogey of the round. When you going from this distance, | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
and you know it is probably a little bit too long... You put the ball off | :38:47. | :38:52. | |
the tee at a distance you are able to play your most comfortable club. | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
That is exactly what he will want to do, to have an idea of which club he | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
wants to play into the green, get the confidence back. | :39:01. | :39:13. | |
Now, 18 with Kiradech Aphibarnrat. Part putt to close out a fine round. | :39:14. | :39:20. | |
No. So, Aphibarnrat, 66. Aphibarnrat finishes with 67, | :39:21. | :39:55. | |
8-under. So, Thomas Pieters remains clubhouse leader at 9-under. This is | :39:56. | :40:01. | |
a huge shock right here. As Aphibarnrat finishes up, Matt Kuchar | :40:02. | :40:09. | |
will play his second. The leaders are on 14-under par. Matt Kuchar can | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
make birdie here at the last to join the leaders on 14-under. | :40:16. | :40:33. | |
You've got to go for it. The problem is, he's gone left, Matt Kuchar. I | :40:34. | :40:44. | |
think it has hit somebody on the boot and stayed where it is. | :40:45. | :40:52. | |
He doesn't know it yet. But he is all right where he is. Hasn't gone | :40:53. | :41:01. | |
under the grandstand or anything. 17, Bubba Watson. | :41:02. | :41:10. | |
The 15th, the pin is back right, 25 yards on. The green has a depth of | :41:11. | :41:42. | |
35 yards and it is six yards in from the right. Its slopes from back down | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
to the front. You can see the flag fluttering just | :41:48. | :42:13. | |
on the right-hand corner of that tall television tower in the middle | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
of your screen. There is the flag fluttering, the right-hand side the | :42:19. | :42:19. | |
tower. It is a good shot. Terrific shot. It | :42:20. | :42:44. | |
hasn't been his day-to-day, Marcus Fraser, but he could finish with a | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
flourish. He is still putting pressure on the third spot. Henrik | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
Stenson. 152 metres to the pin. All-important | :42:52. | :43:14. | |
second shot for Stenson with that battle with Rose. | :43:15. | :43:25. | |
I don't think he has hit it. Oh, hasn't even made the putting | :43:26. | :43:32. | |
surface. This is a big miss from Henrik | :43:33. | :43:51. | |
Stenson. It is a relatively flat green at which to aim. He tried to | :43:52. | :43:59. | |
drive it up. It lets in Justin Rose. Yes. We said Justin Rose has left | :44:00. | :44:12. | |
the window open and now Stenson has left it open. What will Justin Rose | :44:13. | :44:14. | |
do? It is a fantastic shot right over | :44:15. | :44:25. | |
the flagstick. Advantage Great Britain. | :44:26. | :44:32. | |
A little twirl of the club in its hands after his follow-through. He | :44:33. | :44:39. | |
knew how good that was. What a shot to play with Stenson... | :44:40. | :44:57. | |
Stenson not on the putting surface at 15 and Justin Rose with a very | :44:58. | :45:04. | |
makeable putt. After his sensational par putt at 14, he will be very | :45:05. | :45:10. | |
confident making that. Bubba Watson now. He is at 17. He started with a | :45:11. | :45:21. | |
painful 73, which is when nothing went his way. | :45:22. | :45:36. | |
Didn't have any legs, no. Ran out of steam. Matt Kuchar with his third on | :45:37. | :46:07. | |
18, so he has that for birdie to get to 14-under par. This is Matt | :46:08. | :46:18. | |
Kuchar. His second threatened to go way left to somewhere in the gallery | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
and stopped down the line of the fairway. Being introduced to the | :46:24. | :46:35. | |
grandstand who greet him with "Kuch!". Henrik Stenson left his | :46:36. | :46:46. | |
approach short. He needs to get this close, Henrik Stenson. | :46:47. | :46:56. | |
Still a nervous length. His second might be very costly. A magnificent | :46:57. | :47:08. | |
second in by the British golfer, Justin Rose. | :47:09. | :47:15. | |
The 16th is a short par-4, the 17th is a par-3 and then the 18th is the | :47:16. | :47:30. | |
par-5 finishing hole. Plenty of time for a play-off. That's not in any | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
one's minds right now. Marcus Fraser, 2-over for his round | :47:35. | :47:56. | |
today. Started the day at 9-under par and he does have this putt for | :47:57. | :47:57. | |
birdie. If he makes this, he gets into a tie | :47:58. | :48:04. | |
for fifth. What a great putt! Marcus Fraser, a | :48:05. | :48:26. | |
delicate touch downhill left to right. Makes birdie and joins the | :48:27. | :48:43. | |
Spaniard Cabrera-Bello and Aphibarnrat. Sense of relief and | :48:44. | :48:53. | |
joy. This is for birdie. For Britain's Justin Rose to get back to | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
15-under par. He bogeyed the 13th. Rose for birdie at 15 to get back to | :48:58. | :49:38. | |
15-under par. It's a super putt. He has made some telling putts. Matt | :49:39. | :49:53. | |
Kuchar at 18. Oh, he left it short! Another revolution, and that all | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
would have dropped. Matt Kuchar finishes with a par and is in the | :49:58. | :50:10. | |
clubhouse on 13-under. That is a sensational round from Matt Kuchar. | :50:11. | :50:16. | |
An unbelievable performance when you think that he came into this round | :50:17. | :50:20. | |
on 5-under and out of contention, surely. 8-under today. 63, tying | :50:21. | :50:29. | |
Marcus Fraser's effort for the round in men's individual stroke play. | :50:30. | :50:32. | |
Also today, Patrick Reed with a 64. Missed out a couple of big putts, | :50:33. | :50:49. | |
but still 8-under. Talk of big putts. Henrik Stenson faux pas here | :50:50. | :51:01. | |
to remain 14-under. -- Henrik Stenson the par. Safely done for | :51:02. | :51:11. | |
Henrik Stenson. Both players, Rose and Stenson back to where they | :51:12. | :51:23. | |
started. Justin Rose leads by one. 15 underplays 14-under, Matt Kuchar | :51:24. | :51:25. | |
in the clubhouse on 13-under. 16th, the pen is a long way back. A | :51:26. | :51:43. | |
very narrow hourglass looking green and the pen is 33 yards back on a | :51:44. | :51:50. | |
green that is 38 yards in depth, and it is four in from the right. Two | :51:51. | :52:00. | |
tears to the 16th green. You get a complete picture from this. -- two | :52:01. | :52:13. | |
tiers. You need to work your ball over if you find yourself on the | :52:14. | :52:21. | |
front side of the 16th arena. -- 16th green. | :52:22. | :52:58. | |
Bit of an unlucky bounce for Marcus Fraser. This has been a problem hole | :52:59. | :53:06. | |
for Marcus Fraser. Bogeys here in the last two days. Henrik Stenson | :53:07. | :53:14. | |
has gone three days with the Ryan on here, but it is going to be Justin | :53:15. | :53:24. | |
Rose. -- with the iron. Justin Rose, also going with the iron. | :53:25. | :53:53. | |
What I'm telling you is, 238... Do you think you can hit 238? It is | :53:54. | :54:24. | |
possible. If you get to 225... OK, final instructions. All the | :54:25. | :54:27. | |
information loaded. Pull the trigger. | :54:28. | :54:57. | |
It has gone a little left, but that is fine. | :54:58. | :55:08. | |
15-under par, Britain's Justin Rose. Sweden's Henrik Stenson at 14-under | :55:09. | :55:17. | |
par. And Matt Kuchar departs from the | :55:18. | :55:36. | |
Olympic Golf Course to great cheers with Padraig Harrington. 63 for Matt | :55:37. | :55:44. | |
Kuchar. He finishes four days of Olympic men's individual stroke play | :55:45. | :55:51. | |
13-under par. Peter Dawson among those greeting the golfers as they | :55:52. | :55:53. | |
leave the 18th green. Watching the 16th green... Stenson | :55:54. | :56:09. | |
on the right of your screen. Marcus Fraser in the yellow cap and Justin | :56:10. | :56:16. | |
Rose just next to him. This is at 18. Bubba Watson, second shot. | :56:17. | :56:33. | |
Watson leaves it short and right. A little pitch up to the 18th green. | :56:34. | :56:45. | |
Frustrating day for Bubba Watson with a number of putts that have | :56:46. | :56:56. | |
rolled by. Rose leads Stenson by one through 15 with three holes to play. | :56:57. | :56:58. | |
Matt Kuchar on 13-under. The Japanese golfer is last going | :56:59. | :58:12. | |
into the final round. 5-under par in the first grouping. | :58:13. | :58:18. | |
Marcus Fraser first to play. Yes, he has had this shot a couple of times. | :58:19. | :58:28. | |
