Come on Rory lad

If he can stay around the same score he is on now it's going to take a special round from someone to beat him, he needs a few pars to start and hopefully he will finish it off.

I reckon -10 will be the winning score.

I don't think Woods is that far off as some of the commentators are saying either obviously most of them(like me and I guess most other Europeans) want McIlroy to win, but if he has a stinker like Dustin Johnson has in the last round the last few years in majors it wouldn't suprise me if Woods sneaked in.

I reckon -11 wins it. At least one of those in the chasing pack will shoot a 67 or 68 and put the pressure on. Hopefully Rory can be well clear of that mark though! 1st drive was a good un, approach wasn't to the same standard! He just needs to take his chances on the par 5s and play sensible golf the rest of the way. If he does he wins and wins well.

Some pretty incredible shots early on in the day!

Terrible start by Rory, hope I'm wrong but it would appear he's going to bottle it!

Rory looks like he is sjitting his pants(understandibly, I know I would be) and that's before Woods's name moves up the leaderboard closer to him!

Nevermind Woods, Schwartzel is on fire. He's had two miracles in 3 holes!

Aye he looks good so far but surely he can't be that lucky for 18 holes!

He might not need to be TBH. Rory seems to have steadied the ship somewhat but I think this is going to be a long round for Rory. Hope he comes out of it with a green jacket though!

As painful as it is to watch with my money on McIlroy there is no greater site in golf than Woods when he's on it, and today he seems to be on it.

Yep, Woods is the reason I started to watch golf and he is the reason I still watch it. Even when he isn't at his best he is still great to watch for me personally.
