Speith is -7 thru 13 holes now at -12. He knows how to win. Rory just hasn’t had the fire today.

I don't think you can overstate how crucial Rory missing that very easy eagle putt on the 2nd hole has been. He was so pumped up after hitting that amazing shot, it looks to have completely deflated him. Hence missing a no of other short putts since (putts he's been making all week)

Think Spieth may just run out of holes, as Reed still has both the par 5's to play.

There were faint glimpses of the Tiger of old last night.

Amazingly it's since 10 years now, since Tiger won his last major. He had a ruptured ACL in his left knee, but still managed to beat Rocco Mediate in a 18 hole play off plus sudden death finish.

Wouldn't rule him out this year, 22/1 with the bookies, but hoping for a Justin Rose victory, he's in form at the moment.

Some big name players had shockers today, McIlroy, Speith and Woods among them.

Rose and Poulter right up there though.

Rewind re Tiger would rule him out this year, but still hoping for a Rose victory.

I think its pretty pathetic the amount of moaning from players about the conditions and how "unfair" the us open course is.

Get to fuck. For once it isnt the boreathon 15 under and lower that routinely wins majors these days and the arseholes can't take it.

Great summer of Sport continues at Carnoustie, said to be the toughest course on the Open rota, having said that the conditions for the 4 days are forecasted to be good.

Fleetwood and Rose look like the best bet for an English win, although Rose's Open record is poor. On the European front I would go for Francesco Molinari or Alex Noren, from America Rickie Fowler and Tiger at 25 - 1 is a good each way. Some bookies are paying out on top 10 places.

At the start I thought Tiger was a good each way bet, but after today's 66 now only 4 off the lead, must have a good chance of winning, but Spieth looks the best bet.

Still an outside chance of an English win with Fleetwood and Rose, Rory also in conention. Tomorrow should be good.

Great win for Molinari, to go bogey free for the final round of the Open is a superb effort.

Golf wasn't great, but it was compelling stuff, at one time it looked like it could be a 6 ball play off. Good efforts from Rory and Justin.

Molinari an absolute machine today. Great player who has been in tremendous form this summer. Will be great for the Ryder Cup team.

Rory so good and so bad at the same time. Some ridiculously awesome drives, and some very poor putting at times. If he was even a top 30 putter he'd have won 10 majors by now.

Well done Molinari. A thoroughly decent fella and deserving Champion. Great show by Europeans also pushing back the doom merchants on Ryder Cup.
