Spieth, DJ and Westwood for me. If DJ can smash his way under par on the front nine and defend well on the back nine he could be very tough to beat!

 

[King Pietersen]

Course looks great, and the greens are looking surprisingly soft. The likes of DJ and Rory should eat up the Front Nine, and then just need to hold on coming in. Will be a few low scores today I think!

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I took Paul Casey, Rory and Branden Grace. You're right, the course looks good

 

[Anil]

plenty of low scores, reed and mickelson leading...

 

[Anil]

mickelson with a spectacular first round...

 

[King Pietersen]

Heck of a round from Phil. How did that putt not go in for a 62?

 

[Robertoe]

I'm going for a cheeky outside punt on Cabrera Bello!

 

[King Pietersen]

Stenson making a charge this morning. -4 thru 8 so far today. Would love to see him win a major, compresses the ball as well as anyone on Tour. Love watching him play.

 

[Anil]

Stenson just one shot back of Mickelson...they have separated themselves from the rest right now...how is the weather going to be over the weekend?

 

[Furball]

Hopefully better than today. Was ****ing miserable.

 

[Anil]

the top four ranked players all well out of it at troon...keegan bradley lurking, didn't see that coming...

 

[Anil]

stenson by 1...looks like it will be a matchplay situation between phil and henrik tomorrow...

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Go Stenson!

 

[Anil]

still tied and pulling themselves further and further away from the pack...

 

[Anil]

what a fantastic, historic performance from stenson, matches day's high score from last year's pga, matches johnny miller's best final round score, a record that stood unchallenged for 43 years, beats tiger's open 72 hole scoring record, is in the short-list for one of the greatest final rounds of all time in a major, mickelson shoots a bogey-free 65 and finishes 3 back! and a 63 after two 3 putt bogeys makes it even more impressive, 10 birdies, another open record!

He should ask for a visiting order so he can take the claret jug to show Allen Stanford, and have a good gloat

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Very impressive win. Went out and won it, not the other guy losing it for once.

 

[social]

That was some of the most amazing golf I have ever seen

 

[Anil]

phil's 65 would have won the open 9 out of 10 times...this was a once-in-a-lifetime performance from stenson...

 

[King Pietersen]

They shot a better-ball score of 59 yesterday. Unbelievable example of golf. The best final day of a major I've ever seen. Stenson's performance is one of the greatest of all time. What a win!
