Jon Rahm and his caddie need to sort out his distances as he's been under clubbing his irons on every hole and now he's stuck it in the water on a par 3,Rahm's caddy needs to sort this if they stand anychance of winning.

Didn't under club on his 3rd shot looks in deep *****
 
Now this is what winds me up about golf coverage..
Lee smacks his 2nd on the 13th, seemingly, into the creek...
Next thing we see is him putting for a birdie - so how the hell did that happen?
We'll never know....Just the sort of shot you want to see.....And we don't....

Yea the coverage does seem very disjointed. Lots of delayed stuff and important shots missing.
 
Nothing highlights the BBC's lack of interest and investment in sports more than this. Coverage is all over the place (I've got Sky on the laptop and much better, i.e. actually showing a player playing more than 1 shot in isolation) and Ken and Peter Alliss really need to be retired asap.

Spieth probably going to win this. I don't particularly enjoy watching him but fair play he can make a score round here.
 
Easy not to like him. He's boring! Personality of a fish, plays so slow, takes forever over the smallest of shots. Doesnt have the wow factor

But he much better round here than Rory
 
Spieth is a phenomenal putter, and at this course that gives him a huge advantage over everyone else. Both in the putts he makes, and in the confidence with which he can approach greens.
Rory is mentally weak. Almost amateur in his, 'shucks', 'not my day', 'what can you do', attitude when it isnt happening for him on auto pilot. The top ten, even Sergio who has no end of demons and self doubts to battle, are digging deep to fight for it. Rory goes out hoping the magic is there, and that his best golf, which is better than the rest, will somehow just be there. And if it isnt he has the look of 'well, tomorrows another day'. Which is odd in a world class sportsman.

Sergio would be at least 3 shots clear if only he could putt. Amazing amount of fight from him to remain as joint leader despite all the chances he couldn't take. Would love it if he could somehow find a way to get it done tomorrow.
 
That top half dozen is quite a talented bunch - so I think the best l can hope for now is a place from either of my picks of Westwood & Rahm. (But at least at 125/1 and 30/1 respectively, a place for either would pay fairly nicely)
