I thought it was determined using the scores from the preceding round - ie the better your R2 score, the later you go out in R3. But looking at todays timings I don't think that holds true

I think the order of same score pairings are determined by time ie when the cards are returned, first in - last out.

Harman getting all the weather breaks. Heavy rain clearing and wind dropping for this afternoon.

Depending on how wet it is though at 7300 yards he might struggle as he’s pretty short off the tee. He has driven the ball really well and putted out of his mind so far but his approach play hasn’t been great. A couple of more drives in that wet rough may bring him back a bit as he will be hitting more long/mid irons.

I don’t think the weather has been that bad this morning tbh. Rain is off and not a lot of wind, I was expecting a few to make a big move but most of the early starters are still struggling.

Rickie and Xander showing there's scores to be made out there....

I think it might be partly due to a change in wind direction.
Harmon has to bumble back to the field, or we have no contest. 8 or 9 under to win, but hard to see too many good scores for chasers to make much progress. Harmon isnt really major material. R&A may yet really rue their flat bunker cock up.

Yeah, looking at the lower scores it might well bring other players back into contention.

Just read that Harmon gained 8 strokes putting yesterday 
Which gives us hope. That never sustains. So looks like order should restore and he should have a pair of 72s or so.Just read that Harmon gained 8 strokes putting yesterday

I wouldn’t count on it, he was putting incredibly at the Scottish open last week and only derailed by high winds. He simply doesn’t have the power the other guys have to drive the ball into the wind low. But with the putter, he’s red hot, as was Clark going into the US Open and he probably wouldn’t have been considered major material either until he got it done.
Yep, I have money on him.
Since last Sunday. I am going to have no fingernails left by tomorrow evening if he holds tough

Does anyone have any guesstimate of Sunday final tee times?nare they likely to be similar to Saturdays

Personally think if Harmon goes round +1 or 2 today he’ll still be in the lead. Hell of a score yesterday. Hoping for a contest once the leaders get going.

Sorry can’t be sure, there are thunderstorms forecast so they might bring play forward a little. They’ll try not to. Would mess up TV times in the States and be very early morning for them.

Unless they bring them forward to beat any change in the weather I would expect the times to be similar

Sky commentary is much better without Paul McGinley, they just need rid of Laura Davis now.
And someone needs to stop Faldo and his Beatles references.

Looks like the scores are starting to roll in now, Rahm is -4 after 10 holes. Someone will need to go low to catch Harmon, I don’t think -8 or -9 wins this now, probably need -12 or so to win.

Does anyone know if you can buy the adidas hat with ping or Taylormade logo on the side that players are wearing?
