British Open - Lets Go Rocco

Rocco has my well-wishes also.

I can't think of a golfer from Italian stock that has ever done well. But maybe the beer clouds my memory?

Enlighten me if you know different, anyone.

I have always liked Rocco. I'd love to see Rocco, Norman and Duval late Sunday.

Just minute, let's not get carried away here.

Rocco, and even Robert, yes. Greg, meh.

I hope for better then a PGA crowd at the top, come Sunday.

I'd like Monty of course, but I'm realistic and it's not going to happen. So in that case, I'm hoping for a repeat performance from McDowell who won the Scottish Open at Loch Lomond last weekend.

looks like the weather is going to play a big part today. Those going out later could have it a little better

Would have like to see Justin Rose win this year but doesn't look like that will happen. Still I think he's got a major or two in him.

Oh and watch out for Ian Poulter (and not just what he is wearing) only 4 shots off the lead


Weather forecast for Royal Birkdale for today

Let's go Norman! Wow, what a performance in extremely difficult conditions. Norman versus Harrington will be an excellent matchup tomorrow.

I can't believe the wind is so strong that it is moving the ball when players get ready to putt. What a mental drain.
+4 or 5 may have the lead going into the final round.

I would swear that Norman played the wind today when he made a crooked putt. Not sure what hole it was, only a few holes from finish, the one where he stumbled in the wind as he retrieved his ball from the hole.

Those conditions are ridiculous. I hope the Shark can hold on...

The shark is +5 through 11. Conditions ugly, hope he pulls through. Much as I like Rocco, gotta pull for Norman. Rocco has a lotta years left.

Poulter is looking good with two to go but in these conditions really wouldn't like to call it.

If Poulter can get in the clubhouse at +7, he's going to be hard to catch.

Wakefield on +10 through 13 isn't looking to bad either.

And Greg has just stuck his drive on the 13th into a bunk, could this be the end of Greg's Championship???

Still, at this moment in time, money has to be on Harrington retaining the Claret Jug.

Looks like Harrington's got it locked up if he makes this eagle putt.

Fantastic last few holes by Harrington... The ladybirds have a home for another year

See you all in a few weeks for the PGA!

and not forgetting the Ryder Cup in September. Of course I'm predicting another super win for Europe.
