Painful to watch McIlroy…..so much talent but when it comes to the most important bit, getting it in the hole it’s so frustrating. It really must get to him.
It won't be easy for Harman whatever he does in the remainder of this round.Harmans to lose now especially with 15 & 18 providing could birdie opportunities to come
Agree, best player in the world but won’t win another major putting like today.Painful to watch McIlroy…..so much talent but when it comes to the most important bit, getting it in the hole it’s so frustrating. It really must get to him.

Yeh, cause he actually wanted to putt like that!!!Agree, best player in the world but won’t win another major putting like today.
To be fair, must be doing it remotely because he was in the SkyZone this morningImpressive that Ricky Ponting is leading the Open whilst commentating on Test Match Special at the same time.
1St in driving stats, 5th in approach stats, 112th in putting.Painful to watch McIlroy…..so much talent but when it comes to the most important bit, getting it in the hole it’s so frustrating. It really must get to him.
Carnoustie 99 vibes about this big lead for an unconsidered winner of the Open. Not a good closer as I have found out to my cost over the years. Fleetwood flat footed yesterday couldn't drop the putts he needed to push on. In his favoured chasing position today and he must make more putts drop. Looked under the pressure of expectancy yesterday though that will ease a little today. 25/1 to win if you fancy him.
Rahm was brutal and his 63 was quite something. Different day but I can see him bludgeoning Harman into submission. He's 6s though I got 18/1 when he was flying mid second 9 on Saturday.
Just wondering who could be this year's Paul Lawrie. Mathew Jordan local lad, Tom Kim, Alex Fitz or Detry who played almost as well as Rahm on the back nine yesterday. All these guesses priced between 250 and 400/1. Lawrie was 500s when he started his final round in 1999. It can happen. Enjoy the spectacle people.

It's possible to shoot 66 and equally 76.good analysis
He'll win. Easily.It's possible to shoot 66 and equally 76.
It needs Harman to have a bad one for anyone to get close, but steady rain, cold and windy doesn't suit the American.
Maybe...He'll win. Easily.
Nah, he'll come back, might still win it but it'll be a scrap.He'll win. Easily.
Go to RhodesI'll say it again the watching US audience must be looking at the weather thinking WTF is that at the height of summer. Even I'm thinking it, it's absolutely shite I feel like driving to the airport in the morning and jumping on the 1st flight to sunshine. Bet the yanks can't wait to get back!
Wouldn’t want to play him in a matchplay… he’ll putt and chip you to death and if that didn’t finish you off, standing on a tee 3 down and watching him waggle his club 10 times before he pulls the trigger would definitely be game over.Stroll in the park for Harman…..played the course and conditions much better than anybody else.
However, he’s not very likeable and has zero personality. Let’s hope he gets a hell of a beating in Italy if he makes their Ryder Cup team.
Very insensitive comment……apart from the people trapped there, there are lots of family and friends who know people out there and must be very worried.Go to Rhodes
