    Rory has a 6 shot lead... Hope he doesn't do a Norman and crash....lol On a course like that, you can lose 6 shots on one hole.

    Really proud of Rory, I only live about 10 miles from Holywood (N.I), his home town, and he (along with Clarke and McDowell) have played a huge part in bringing the open to Royal Portrush, hopefully in 2019

    Just curious as I'm watching the replay of the 3rd round.

    What was the temp over there yesterday.  I know it was drizzling but looks warm too.

    Rory's slept on a big lead in a major before. This is nothing new to him. Eagle, bogey, Eagle finish today, terrible front, nothing shook him. Resiliency is what makes his game great. My prediction... he eagles 18 tomorrow with a 30 ft. putt to clinch a double-digit winning margin, Dustin Johnson finishes runner-up.

    Ken Brown from the BBC -  'Smart ar$e' comment on live TV - hysterical! lmao

    Some sweet birds being made out there today.... Johnson & Fowler being the exceptions.

    Spaniard Sergio Garcia playing well - 4 behind.

     

    Final day pin positions:

    Oooh..back to back bogies from our leader...  as Garcia majestically escapes possible danger from bunker.

    Lead down to 3 strokes.... as I type, Russell. :)

    Superb bird from Rory on the 9th to go back to 4 in front.
