    Thought it might have been Rory's 6 shots to get out of the bunker but was Daly with a pint!

    not much action on this thread...Ive watched buggar all TBH.<br><br>
    Looks a 2 horse race right now, but stranger things have happened...in line with another thread, anyone but Phil to win please! <br><br>
    Henrik Stenson -11<br>
    Phil MIcklesen -10<br>
    Bill Haas -6<br>
    Andrew Johnson -5<br>
    JB Holmes -4</p></blockquote>
    <br>
    I've watched a fair bit and yep go Henrik!<br><br>
    Course isn't overly long but so susceptible to the conditions. First 3 par 4s are under 400 yards and Jason day (and a few others) were firing the drives right up there. There is a 100 yard par 3 too!

    <p>Yeah the hours aren't great for it hey. Over here the leaders don't tee off until around midnight, which means a long night if you want to stay up. I have watched a fair bit of the earlier groups though.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It's been hugely affected by the draw - the late/early guys had a big advantage. 10 of thecurrent  top 11 were from that half of the draw.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>All of the Aussies have bombed out, and really the two-horse race doesn't interest me a huge amount. I'm cheering for Henrik, obviously, but not enough to stay up until 4am doing so.</p>

    <p>Extraordinary last day of which I saw none but 2 leaders are 4 shots clear going into the final day and shoot 63 and 65 - talk about dominance! Next best score was Rory's 67 on the final day and most struggled to break par. Oddest major leaderboard I've seen in a long time.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Stenson -20</p>
    <p>Mickelson -17</p>
    <p>Holmes -6</p>
    <p>Stricker -5</p>
    <p>McIlroy</p>
    <p>Hatton</p>
    <p>Garcia -4</p>

    <p>I don't think I would have mind if Mickleson won it in the end.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Talk about wisdom of age. Taught the young ones a lesson in conditional play.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Also when you have a lead over the pack like that it can be dull but it was one of the most exciting final days play I can remember</p>

    <p>Just watched the final round replay now. Never seen anything like that, two blokes going toe-to-toe for 18 holes in a major with daylight 3rd.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Stenson... wow. And Phil shot 65! Just phenomenal. They will make a documentary about that round someday, truly memorable stuff. And they walked off the 18th green together, arm in arm.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Find it hard to keep my totally irrational hate of Mickelson up after that.</p>
