    I’m happy that my 3 are playing the weekend and not putting their feet up. It’s going to be an exciting weekend.

    Looks like you've got the bookies surrounded Red with 3 in the top 7 :emoticon-0148-yes:. Even Stenson stirred himself from his slumber yesterday to provide an outside chance of a place. Rory is always terrible value in Majors. He's a fine player but a couple of decent rounds and the golf media go off the deep end with him.

    Happy that the tee times have been brought forward due to forecast bad weather. I’ll get to bed at a reasonable time tonight. Good luck with your bets fellas.

    As Stenson, Matsuyama and Oosthuizen all sink slowly beneath the waves, I'm going to test my other racist theory: namely, that Italians don't do subtle on the big stage. Remember Baggio's skied Row H sudden-death penalty at WC1994, when a little downthemiddle dink would have made him immortal. Consider how their version of grand opera seems to consist of fat gits bellowing. And so on.

    So I'm going to lay Molinari at around 2.9, in the expectation that the last round on softened greens will turn into a pitch'n putt competition, and whoever reads the greens best will win it. Don't forget the early start (finish about 19.00 BST, apparently), and good luck to anyone who stands to win a lot of money.

    I need 2 tv's... Liverpool gonna start soon with Molinari trying to fend off the chasing pack... Some great golf been played out there, not just by Woods, as the commentators would have you believe...!! I know he's the biggest name in golf but the total sucking up to him by the commentators and fans does my head in a bit...

    Anyway, come on Frankie boy, lets be having you in green...!!

    Top golf is littered with guys who can whack it 350+ yards yet it's a yard 160 yard par 3 that sorts out the men from the boys. More thrills and spills over the next hour. Should be great viewing. Soufflé in the mix.

    Looks can be deceiving. I bet he's churning inside despite all his great days. One more par and he's got another jacket.

    To come back from a really bad back, he admitted he may never swing a golf club again only a couple of years ago, to win the Green Jacket at Augusta has to be ranked up there with the very best achievements in Tigers or most other peoples career FULL STOP...!!

    Simply stunning... I know that the media get carried away with him, he's earned the right, he was THE best golfer at his peak by a long, long way, and they all know what he has done for the profile of the game. Coupled with his issues away from the golf course as well, he has had to battle through more than a few demons in the last 4/5 years just to get somewhere back to playing on a golf course again. But the way he celebrated his victory was so unlike the old Tiger, he looked a real human being celebrating a very fine thing indeed. Very emotional...

    As Chan said above, I bet his stomach was turning over and over inside when teeing off on the 18th... Well done Tiger, another day to say I was the best in the world once again...<applause><applause>

    ……………..and, Red, he seems to be a much better human-being for it all? There was a time when I could not stand this guy, but I'm not vindictive! <whistle> <laugh>

    Well it lived up to it’s billing, a spectacular 4 days with the name at the top of the leaderboard ever changing but I guess for the last couple of hours we all knew that there was only going to be winner...when he comes off the bridle there’s no stopping him.

    what a fantastic weekend of golf!

    I bet on both Tigers (Roll and Woods) Wonder what the double would have paid ? 60/1 ???
