    Rory's not putting great. Pushing or pulling it & many putts not threatening to go in. If someone draws level with him it could get ugly.

    Can see Cam Smith putting Rory out of this.

    One bad shot now, or one bit of magic, cam smith suddenly on fire.

    If you pushed me right now I’d tip Smith. He doesn’t look like missing a putt. Rory doesn’t look like holing one.

    This.

    Smith has just birdied 4 on the trot. I just cant see Rory going on a birdie trail. 

    Love to be proved wrong.

    Yesterday Rory & Hovland were pulling each other along. I feel Hovland is holding Rory back. Rory had nothing to feed off.

    Silly little gripe this, but it’s always annoyed me how the tv companies show the leaderboard wrongly so that the popular player is at the top.
    They used to do it with Tiger Woods and they’re doing it with McIlroy today - Smith is -18 after 13 while McIlroy is -18 after 12. Smith should therefore be at the top.

    Bloody Tiger King won’t go away.

    I agree. The player ahead on the course should be shown first.

    Smith will be clear at the top soon enough,all on his lonesome. Only one winner for me atm

    As I said earlier, Rory's putts just not dropping. That last one was dead on line. Another roll & it was in.

    Another birdie for Smith.

    Rory now chasing.

    Smith starting to look uncatchable. At least it’ll be the end of that mullet.

    I think the being one hole behind will help Mcilroy, will give him the target, he’s not playing bad. If smith doesn’t birdie all the way in, I think Rory will be ok.

    Think Rory needs something to spark his round into life. Maybe seeing Smith take the lead will do it

    Rory just not reading the putts today. Always a few inches the wrong side. On another day he would have be home & hosed.

    I think its down to Smith messing up.

    That’s not out of the question with smith, nor rory to be fair.

    Could be career defining this for Rory. Such a big deal the 150th it was written that this was the one where he returns to winning majors. Win it and he might win a load more. I’d he doesn’t from the position he was in overnight it could knock the stuffing out of him. That could all be cobblers of course.

    Rory might have to go for it on 17. Take it down the right & then try to play it up the green. Cant leave it for the 18th.

    Cameron Young is a miserable sod. Never seen so much as a grin from him all week. Great player but a smile would be nice.

    Smith in a bit of a pickle on 17. Bad mistake from the middle of the fairway.
