Might be time to play some of the younger guys. Personally I’d seriously consider picking Hoejgaard and Ludvig Aberg.

No idea why Aberg keeps getting mentioned - he may well turn out to be a good player but he hasn’t done anything to justify getting a pick yet

Meronk, Harrington, MacIntyre backing up the field. Straka will have please Captain Donald. The other three, leaving him worriedly brow-furrowed.

It’s not really a surprise with Harrington or MacIntyre

And as discussed- Harrington will be nowhere near a selection

But they aren’t backing up the field as they made the cut

Assuming he doesn't make a horlicks of the last few holes, Harman could be 6 or 7 clear by tonight..
I think it reasonable to suggest that Rahm will do well to match today's score as will Young.
Level par round probably wins it by 2 or 3 easily....
Sadly, this won't make it a particularly good viewing spectacle.

Well we all know the last person to blow a 5 shot lead in bad weather
 
Well done to Harmon. He played very tidy golf there.

Hopefully someone from the chasing pack can have a round like Rahm and put some pressure on to make it interesting.
 
Watching the highlights - if only Sky could bring in Andrew Cotter and Ken Brown whilst removing Laura Davies and Radar

Feels like a bit of a non event today, Harman will need to have an absolute shocker to lose that lead.

It’s happened before. He did manage a par down the 18th but he looked a bit twitchy. A bad start today and he could go into reverse. Specially if those in front of him get off to a flying start.

Was a bit gutted he recovered from that bogey start

Having him at -8 would have set up the most perfect of fights for the open
 
Only consolation is that is it will be wet, there will be a 16mph breeze and it's scheduled to switch throughout the round from W to NE.

That will significantly change many holes and will make 17 behind and off the right, not ideal for Hamran's fade.

6pm gusts up to 25mph.

It has happened twice in 40 years. Here is hoping this is 3 times so this isn't a complete wash out...
