    I see Patty O'Dors has won wrestling gold for Ireland. Mick will be pleased (he probably knows her).

    @Mick O'Toon in the golf for 2nd and 3rd I assume they must have play offs for any ties to get definite silver and bronze medalists?

    Someone suggested they should make it a matchplay tournament, I wasn’t sure but kind of makes sense for medal purposes.

    Yeah you're right, playoffs, I think I remember last Olympics and there was 4 or 5 teeing off for 1 of the medals.

    Good that nobody is running away with it but its already been shown anyway there is -8 and -9 rounds out there, so even those 5 or 6 behind going into tomorrow might not be totally out of it.

    Still not been able to watch a lot of it, hoping the coverage might be a bit better for the final round.

    I thought that, after you said he got the eagle I had a look but he was finished on -9. He still close enough but he really needs something in the low 60s tomorrow.

    I’ve got Aberg, Day and Detry all around that same score, hoping at least one of them can make a charge tomorrow.

    i can’t watch any of it. I’m in the Rebellion Festival in Blackpool and now they aren’t letting anyone in or out as there is rioting in the city centre.
