and will head to the 18th tee with a bit of weight there when they finish, but it looks like

rory

is on the verge of winning his fourth major title, there's still work to do to do well on the 18th again, it's been Eagle today and it's either Phil or Ricky , they run to a three here and give away that Wanamaker still two times Eagle 44 times birdie today has to back off and buy some time these pliers are ready Ricky doesn't really have the option these guys want to thread. Up there among the water in the right bunker on the left we think he's done.

Hey, when I'm in the fairway and I can't see the ball take off but I can see it land, yeah, okay, yeah, he hit two big shots. after the hazy shot on 16 that led to the sensational par from the 15th fairway and our Mickelson will try to go deeper Jimmy our cameraman has his irises wide open I mean, it looks a lot clearer than it really is Mickelson Eagle here on Friday squinting wide He says a fairway, yes, a great track, wood that was not the driver. Oh, actually, maybe we'll play the fourth sub here on the 18th.

Well, I think they'll let him hit it, talk about the battle, the last hole of a major. Amazing, but you haven't seen that before, no, I really haven't because I was, you know, Rory wouldn't have the option, you know, because if I could see what Ricky Fowler did, if I was a great Ricky hit a great second shot. You know, within 10 feet there's a big lawyer who might be thinking he's going to do a 3 to get to 16 by watching your strategy, but Rory is so confident in this ride when it was me personally that I would probably take the percentage of thinking he could go. , you know 3 I would be missing the bunker tube, but the other option and we need to get some people out of the way here.

One of them is Phil and deep down, I don't think they've been told yet, here you go, yeah, well, lurk. We're going to do it now. We will decide that they should do it now. We'll take everyone to the bottom of the bridge and when you radio back to town, we'll be ready in 30 seconds with Ron as soon as everyone crosses the bridge. You'll move away to the side and you can go and I'll give you the senior. I also wanted to add the thumbs up ready to go. I've never seen anything like it. The other good option is that the bunker is fine.

It's a good mistake for Rory for safety I mean, but the way he drives, the amazing scene here he's done the right side and there's water there, it's smoke, oh that's right near the edge, but he stayed up, I think if that falls on the Hazard again, you go back to how the strategy completely changes now for these second shots for the matchup announcement, don't think it's on the Hazard, everyone knows it's fine, much like Rory is making the world of golf, now it's like hey guys, I'm playing. through that, playing straight, shocked this generation, you're still seeing the tee shot of him, all played out on these things.

I think you're saying it's used to play in these things as amateurs, you just started it, you came last in the dark it was very close, yes there's plenty of room please I can tell you he wouldn't have stayed up, if it weren't because of the mild condition, there you go, how easily a little drier conditions could have appeared at this time, are you going to move forward? and play together I don't think I'm sorry, what's the point if you don't? Anyway, you let them match you. Why make them wait in the street? So, Phil, there's nowhere to go anyway because we have who's season and Jason Day. finish on the green, very Derby-like, talk about sprinting to the finish line, running 18 to just get in and get there Phyllis and Rory, you're 205 up to your helmet if it's time for decapitations.

Phil has 228 and he's going to go ahead and play as fast as possible. This is a 4 iron and it is very dark now. It's affecting your depth perception from your eyes to the ball. Yes, it is much darker than it appears on your screens. Back at home, we have opened the irises and on the cameras we have no chance from right behind the green, even seeing this golf ball coming this way. Phil attacking I have to tell you: I'm surprised what's going on, but if these guys think Rory Got it, he's not going to give up, to close on the easiest hole on the golf course, look at that ball up there, I know, hanging on the side of that hill, but with its length, as I guessed right, it's 2:05, it has to do it. our final will be around six, you'll see if Ricky can, he's got 222 and now he's starting to rumble too, so we've got everything going, it's a big four hours and the dark conditions are breaking down and Ricky needs to go hard.

I got scratches in the corner, well yesterday on a putt, yes, about the same length on the 18th for Eagle and it missed due to sting, so are they going to take advantage of the losses of four? Come on buddy Matera, it's just a major, he's waiting for news from one. of the umpires, well they'll suspend them once Phil and Ricky get to the green, that's the official word, yeah right, it's like the normal calling procedure we have on the tour and four shorts, they get all the players in the green. The ball mark is at the back of the green and then you wave behind it, it will play well.

I think part of the problem is that the weather is supposed to be bad tomorrow morning, you know, and it's breaking down right now, the threatening weather is fast approaching. I need to ask the fans or pull out their cell phones like at a Coldplay concert and you know we'd go by the brightness. I would take it as a sign that we would want an encore and I have to tell you that you can't wait to see a lot more of this in the years to come this is amazing I mean we've been treated to what this man has done now three in four years, no, in three years, in two months, there will be four majors, it seems very similar. in the studio a tjp Fitzgerald was leaning on Rory's back since 2000, they didn't do it at Loch Lomond before that, he worked for Ernie, plus he's from Dublin, whose D was shot without a birdie today, this is a 3 iron , 331 yards, I got a little hurt. cat, he said, aim for the light, the study, that's probably behind the 18th green.

I'm sure Phil is exactly excited about the way this is going on the 18th. No, no, he had a long conversation with the official . Will Rory play this one? David well he's aiming left, looks like he might be alive, yeah yeah that's what he is, he's going to try to get the leading edge on that left corner that's very long, it's a 35 yard bunker top ridge you know , there's that evil crest there. just get out of which is significant will not run up has an already finished has to throw it up there all intentionally player some kind of punch and run now may be generating extremely dark conditions that are almost I have to say there is something because I'm looking out the window that's like 50% lighter and what's really out there right now, yeah, well there was just a flash of lightning behind the club host;

It's an amazing gothic ending here, go figure. to chip for Eagle, yeah, imagine if he holds it or if he makes his putt it's to tie the lead, he's going for Mickelson's sorry final round 66 at 15 under par and how close it was, remember how we used to play this game. like a good car and passion tranquility to play the last holes of a major My God, now Ricky Peter's part sees the break this to tie the main memory of yesterday and Jim will run. I have the answer about the Phils actually. he wasn't very happy with them playing the second shot.

He was under the impression that it was just going to be the tee shot. Rory was under the impression that they were going to be all shots that were going to play as a four, so. The referee had to tell him that they were also going to play his second shots. Phil wasn't happy about it and if you had been in that situation. Nick, yes, this is the rule. There's a lot going on. Now you can understand if you are all meant to play in your groups and you would be considered to be helping other playoffs, you are trying to help him get in, but do you know that he has been given the opportunity to play basically in a different way because if he played correctly, it would be darker, but then Rory would make the decision not to play with Ricky now to join the movie at 15 under par for birdie, that's brutal.

I hope everything is in the game so that Yuri can still make a bunker shot and his colleague makes a v. second, second and third in the majors this year, final round 68, well, he has a perfect line in the bunker, but I have to tell you this, if he flies this high and he stomps it, it could be in his bunker shot that I have ever seen. of the runner will not understand that he will have to make two putts from there to win in the bank in the total

darkness

is almost what he had to do, you know, to make that shot and the sadness, suppose he says right now, you know. what I would rather come back tomorrow morning I would I would I mean I don't know how you read it from there I don't mean why force it we're going to be able to show you how dark it is there it is that's The real picture how would you like to try to win a Major in that well?

I guess if you dream of winning a Major, it would be dark, it wouldn't be, that wouldn't be at night, if you're driven at night, so here. It's for life it kept him trapped, obviously it's not the player who has the right to say, you know what I can't see, I want to come back tomorrow, well, there's one more thing at that point, guys, it's not the referees who who decide yes or no. these players are suspended it is the players decision and therefore the referees have taken over what was a player's decision in this case in my opinion David Feherty you are down there how hard is it see this mm-hmm, two putts for the title. just think he's going to laugh mm-hmm oh, you're not kidding, you don't even have to turn off the lights, right?

He can see it will be a third straight victory at the Open Championship World Golf Championship at the PGA, all the best in the world competing. in those three events it will be two consecutive majors and just think about what will come next April in Augusta, when he goes for the Grand Slam of his career and enters and Epps goes after Rory's Slam, if he can go to Augusta and the US Open , that's what it would be. Sea Berger, a tough day had to be uncomfortable for him being in that thin air and here we go, the close of the year and the big golf

championship

s, this will be your Player of the Year and we have a shining star in the evening, Rory. he continues his path to greatness, there's the reaction, yes the intensity today was incredible, you're a young man, you want to know how to get in the zone and the whole final part was enough to

beat

Mickelson by one a second.

Wanamaker for McIlroy, won in 2012 at Kiowa for the majors, fourth youngest to win for Tom Morris, young Tom Morris Tiger and Jack, the only ones a little younger and now with names like Ernie ELL and Ray Floyd, Jim Barnes and Willie Park. I mentioned young Tom Morris Old. Tom Morris Willie Anderson, oppa, make us do it now because in many ways I still think that a lot of people on the fringes of sport, around thoughtless poor people, haven't recognized or realized that this kid is something special.
