Apparently McIlroy is yet to shoot a round in the 70s at St Andrews!

Well played sir.

Not a bad stat that is it

Pffft I have shot a 39 7 times at St Andrews!!!!!! [size=85on Tiger Woods online[/size:

I hope to be proven wrong but Casey seems to bottle it as soon as he gets in contention.

If you look at the probability that Oosthuizen will fall away (and if hdoesn't then fair play to the lad) and you put the 'lead' at -6 then there are some brilliant players in with chances. Casey, Westwood, McDowell, Woods, Goosen all have big chances if they can handle the wind. I really fancy a british player (probably McDowell) to come through with their course knowledge.

If the wind blows, I'd expect -6 or -7 to be leading going into Sunday. It's Oosthuziens to throw away though but we saw what happened to Rory yesterday.

If anyone deserves to be walking down the first during these moments it's Tiger. Shame to see him playing the way he is lately, hopefully it won't be long before he gets back to somewhere near his best.

All fancy Oosthuiven to win the Open then? Paddy Power are generous on their live odds, 1/5 about the fav. 22/1 Westwood, 28/1 Kaymer and 33/1 Stenson.

Half way through their final round and its now between Oosthuizen and Casey. Oosty's to lose now after that eagle

8 shot lead now for Oosthuizen



Was hoping it was going to go right down to the last hole!!

If Casey hadn't blown it at the earlier hole (9th/10th?) it might have. Casey's back nine has been dreadful

Well played to Luis Oosthuizen. An amazing display of near perfect golf.

I'd also like to commend the BBC for the best coverage in the world of a golf major. Thoroughly enjoyed the last 4 days. Early morning till late night coverage. No adverts. Interesting snippets. Great commentary. Golf fans paradise.

The footage montage and poetry just now at the end was genius and summed up the history and spirit of golf for me.

Chapeau to the BBC.

Couldn't have put it better, superb coverage everyday. Couldn't fault the Beeb for this one.

Full of knowledge on the commentary team as well. They aired a nice little feature on Tom Watson on the bridge on the 18th from yesterday this morning too. I love the no advert interuption, just pure golf all day everyday. Superb.

Thats the problem with Sky having the Ryder Cup....although I like to think, being an Evertonian, that we're bloody lucky its not ITV, we'd miss the winning putt....

They'll never live that tic-tac moment down them s.

Although SKY have brought sport to life you can't beat the likes of BBC for non-advert screening. Still think Racing, Golf, Snooker etc are all so much better advert free.

I know loads about golf.



Great performance from Oosthuizen. Never headed from Friday onwards in the biggest major there is. Takes a big set of balls that does.

I betted my mate £50 Martin Kaymer would par the last, I now hate Martin Kaymer

Any chance of getting this changed into the Golf thread?

Anybody else watching tonight? Could be anyones at the moment. Have Bubba myself though I don't see him having enough to win it. Mcilroy is all over the place.

Day is going very well.

I like the look of him... bloody Aussie



If McIlroy can sink one I can see him going on a mini charge. Kaymer must be the favorite at the moment though. His control today is immense.

Im watching mate I always watch every tourny that is on the tv



I would love for McIlroy to win but I think its way too early for him, I think Jim Furyk will wind up the winner just because hes been in this type of situation plenty of times before. I wouldnt mind Martin Kaymer winning (even if he is ze German

) hes top quality and will be one of our best players in the Ryder cup IMO

Bubba or Furyk and I'll be a happy bunny. Have £1E/W on Bubba at 125/1 and £2E/W on Furyk today at 20s. Though Furyk is in all sorts of trouble at the 8th.

LOL @ the metlife blimp catching the stealth bomber flying over. Hope it wasnt on a secret mission or anything



Oh, and that shot by Tiger... would you stand that close to him at the moment?



Im waiting for the day a pro shanks one right into the face of a crowd member stood 3 feet away. It WILL happen

Only if you ever turn pro

Hey,

I played 9 and shot a 35 this evening. Didnt sink a putt either.

Oh.

I would whoop your ass boy!

I really wanted Mickelson to win this week, partly because I like to watch him play but mainly because I know how hard it must be for him to play with what hes just been diagnosed with, its painful as fook. he must have realised he had it quite early otherwise I dont think he would be able to move/swing as freely as he is doing. I guess with the amount of cash he has he will be on the best medication money can buy aswell! Whereas Im on the NHS so im pretty fooked



I think hes being very naive though in thinking hes 100% fit and he seems to think hes got rid of it, its incurable so all he can do is take medication/get injections to ease the pain

Watson's a fookin' beast!!!

Driver and a wedge into a 516 yard hole? The wind must have been behind.
