Brilliant win for him, his score put a lot of pressure on the Japanese and American guys and they couldn't hack it.

The pressure in the golf is massive, Stenson drops a shot now so level again after a fantastic par save for Rose.

The important thing is that the last 3 seem to be good to pick up shots and Kuchar is through 2 of them so he might not be as close as it looks right now.

I'm not a fan of golf being in the Olympics, but I must say the course looks fantastic

Slight error from Stenson leaving his 2nd to 15 short.

Needs to take advantage here Rose

I'm really enjoying it, great course, hugely tense final day and a brit right in the mix for the title.

Rose 1 shot up with 3 to go.

Kuchar needed the birdie at the last to give himself any realistic hope of gold.

Rose ahead but Stenson is as cool as they come

If Rose and Murray win, added to our guaranteed cycling gold, we could end up above China!

Stenson all but guaranteed a birdie. Rose needs to knock this one close

Looking like Rose and Stenson level going down the 17th

Don't forget Giles Scott in the Finn (sailing) it's pretty much guaranteed if he keeps going as he is in the ninth race, his lead is massive regardless but right now it looks like it's going to widen significantly here.

Got a silver in the men's windsurfing as well.

I reckon there's about an inch between them coming up to the third shots on the 18th, this is brilliantly tense.

Brilliant from Rose!!

Stenson is going to have to hole from 20 feet to force a playoff by the looks of things
