    Sneds, Piercy, Hideki and co would be better off on +5...They might actually show them hitting a shot then. Been overwhelmingly disappointed with the coverage so far this year. I'm keeping up on twitter mostly as it is updated quicker than waiting on the delayed recording sky offer.

    Good luck with your bets lads...may the best man win <ok>

    He's proved a good wind player over recent years Stick and has also been in the final group going out on Sunday twice in the past so he's now got that experience needed. I heard Butch saying he is a bit hard on himself going out here and he's asked him to relax a little more on course. Joy to watch, certainly doesn't beat around the bush when he's ready to go.

    Golf coverage has been really poor for a few years imo. This year it just so happens that the "big two" are in the final pairing so that suits the broadcasters, in years when they aren't contending we still see almost every shot of theirs. Mcilroy could be 10 shots off the lead going into the final day and we'd still be forced to watch almost every shot of his. To fill time in between spieth and rory's shots id love to see some other players, instead we just see them walking towards their balls. Shocking stuff

    I can tolerate it just about in the regular tour events but when they push the Masters so hard on us and produce such poor coverage, it's annoying. I think CBS are the main contractor here and a lot of the Americans are giving out pure stink about them too.

    By the way did ya's see Day's drive on 10...holy ****! 364 yards it rolled out to, hit a cracker of a wedge in and missed a tiddler which was a shame.

    How about Langer eh? What a performance he's putting in. Monty praising his shots through gritted teeth I reckon <laugh>

    Jordan and Rory have lost the plot on 11.

    Happy days.

    Jordan opens the door slightly with bogey and double on 17 and 18. I hope ANGC place the pins in gettable positions tomorrow which I think they will do, let the boys come out to play on Sunday with a good score there if someone can take it.

    Unbelievable that McIlroy didn't muster a birdie for the 3rd round, all those par 5's are easily reachable in 2 for him. He stalled today but could have a say yet with a mid 60 round tomorrow. Matsuyama will be kicking himself too, 3 putting twice on the last few holes.

    Bring on Sunday <ok>

    Well nothing has changed my view in the first 3 days. One of these 3 should win tonight.

    I backed Day and Spieth at the start,but it would be incredible to see Langer win.He would be the oldest winner of a major by a good 10 years,just like Watson a few years ago in the Open,it would probably be the greatest sporting achievement of all time ! However,if the wind drops and they put the pins in birdiable positions,i don't think old Bernard has the length to win.Great story though !

    Great for the tournament Spieth had his late wobble as it looked all over. He's still in a mighty strong possy but if Day can start well we could have a cracking back 9.

    You have to assume old Bernard won't quite go with the young guns this evening.

    Spieth in a great position but Day is within striking distance if he starts pretty well. Dustin Johnson is in the mix playing alongside Day too IF he can put a final round together but he still has to prove he can do that so he's an outsider really, but a dangerous one.

    Spieth and Matsuyama first 8 please. I don't care which one wins so long as one of them does.

    I don't understand why we would think Langer cannot hang in there tonight. He has the game and is very fit for his age. 30/1 with bookies still going 1-2-3 is a fair old price.
