I think this is the first time ever I've found golf even vaguely exciting.

Proper squeaky bum time!

Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but who is the trackside interviewer. His only remit is to get the athlete he interviews after the race to start sobbing. Last night he succeeded with KJT and Mo Farrah.when he interviewed Jess Ennis, she said that she was determined she wasn't "gonna cry in front of the camera". He kept asking her irrelevant and retirement questions until tears welled up in her eyes. I'm sure I heard him shout "result" as the camera panned away.

Pressure has told on Stenson, Rose's 3rd was the decider it meant Stenson had to go all out for the birdie.

Congratulations to Rose, showed huge character in the last few holes.

Phil Jones, he has been doing trackside interviews for years and I for one think he is very good and very knowledgable.

This has the real potential to be a 6 gold day for Britain now. That would be incredible. I doubt we did that even in London

Don't you just love Mo Farah. What an athlete and personality.

One of the things I find remarkable about Mo is that in events like the 10,000m he doesn't have the luxury of heats to find his form.  He has one shot at it, yet delivers pretty much every time.

I think that Zika virus specifically targets golfers.

Wasn't many gymnast's, rowers, swimmers who withdrew over it!
