The 2015 Open Championship ***Warning: May Contain Spoilers***

Just seen DJ stick it to about 6 feet on the first and hole the putt .... I wonder if he can make a big charge before the weather changes!

... but then screws up with his 3W on the 2nd tee!
 
And DJ starts with a birdie too

Wonder if there's to be a weird twist that starting an hour ahead of the final group actually helps DJ (& others) through a few early birdies before the weather kicks in
 
Interesting comment from the R&A regarding the prize money (taken from BBC website):

In the scenario of an amateur winning The Open, the £1.15m top prize was set to go the player who finished second. Not anymore...


The Open chiefs have released the following statement...


"The Open is a standalone championship and the Championship Committee does not believe that first-place prize money should be paid to a second place finisher.


"Amateur players are not eligible to win prize money and therefore, should an amateur win The 144th Open first place prize money will be distributed proportionately among the professional players who have made the cut."
 
Dj, has just reallsed its final round so has gone into meltdown, and Phil has just hooked one onto someone's balcony on the 17th .... oh and the rain has started!
 
Have to find some work that requires very little thinking - currently doing an inventory of kit :)

birdies for Speith and Harrington and the final pair are away.
 
Took the afternoon off and sat at the 7th and 11th again. It's a bit driech but there are worse ways to spend a Monday.
 
Binocular view to the 17th grandstand from the 7th. Busiest it's been all week. Lots of mums and kids out for the cheap day. Great atmosphere here, lot of people have got a bargain day of entertainment and they're happy to be out even though the weather isn't playing nice.

Turning into the best last round of a major ever but I'm in work and cant see it, damn. Even our servers run from Europe so the BBC Iplayer doesn't work. Might catch the end of it at home, when do we expect the final pair up the 18th roughly?
 
Please not Scott. As nice as his full swing is, it's completely off-set by the dire putting stroke and implement. One man can get away with using a broomstick, Bernhard Langer.
