Sky come back from a break for him to say Fowler is playing the last with a 2 shot lead. Then they cut to Fowler on the 17th green with a putt for a birdie with the scores showing he is only 1 ahead.
I know MaGinley is over there but I'm not show whether the others are. Hennie said earlier about watching the early starters playing all evening. It was 7 something here but only mid day there.
Dont they usually want the winning score to be Par ?
Not these days, the USGA has settled on a target of roughly -6 for the winner. LACC is an exception for lower scores, though it sounds like it showed some teeth after I went to sleep.
I'll be setting an alarm and waking up for the back 9 if the tee times are as late tomorrow. Torrey Pines 2 years ago felt a lot earlier.
I taped it last night and got up at 6 to fast forward through. Will stay with it till about 11pm and the do the same tomorrow morning, but will have to condense the key rounds down to within an hour.
Made it to the end. Should have bet on Clark this morning and didn’t. Oh well.
Yes, he was still 5/2 early in his round but he looked the most likely to me. Didn’t do it though :-(
That was another one that was Rory’s there for the taking but he just couldn’t step up
Lesson learned. When you at rooting for two out of the three players always have a compensatory punt on the third.
If Rory was a 20% better putter he’d have passed tiger by now and be homing in on Jack. At least he’s still there or thereabouts all the time so you’d think it’ll drop for him sometime. Will be interesting ting to see whether Clark is a one time wonder or why here he hangs around the big boys on the back of this. Fair play to him.

Plonkers....
8 under on a par 72 is a 64 & wouldn't break any records.
And as I type Coltart admits its not the best under par score......which is 9 under.
As I've said before, you can easily shoot a 62 around Barnehurst but you wouldn't say it was record breaking.
…..then I’d carry on with the back 9
Rory goes off in the penultimate group at 11.30pm BST.
11.30 !!!!
Bloody ridiculous. That's 3.30pm LA time. Far too late imo. Final groups should be going out around 2pm at the latest.
