Matteo Manassero

[Arn]

Eight shots clear now, -11!

I have a £100 on him @12-1. I made the bet when he was -3 yesterday

[Shaggy]

Rory, in the middle of the 16th fairway with a four iron in hand. A smooth swing and the ball disappears off into the distance. Where's that headed? Come on, you should know by now. It's a dozen feet from the flag - he's got that for another eagle.

Here's McIlroy for eagle and...oh...that kisses the lip of the hole but stays out. The tiniest of tap-ins for birdie - he's -12 and leading by an astonishing nine shots! A bit of a disservice for Rory there - that 4 iron was more like eight feet away

[Arn]

If he bottle it this time then he will forever be called the biggest bottler in the world ever. Not even the Mets or Murray would stand a chance.

[Shaggy]

8 footer for birdie on 17

[Shaggy]

Holed.

-13, ten ahead.

My Dad's had £100 on him in the last four majors ....been so close.

He hasn't backed him this time

Unlucky

Strange that he didn't back him this time. The longer course the better for Rory and this is the longest US Open course ever.

[Shaggy]

He was just too busy, forgot, never got round to it and before he knew it he was about -5

[Shaggy]

Another incredible Mickelson moment. He's out Seve'd Seve...yesterday's round was unbelievable. Most spectacular 74 I've ever seen.

[Shaggy]

And Rory's in the water on 18, unreal

[Shaggy]

Double bogey finish FFS, follows the 65 with a 66.

Mickleson is the left handed Seve!!!!

[Shaggy]

Big time. He's getting more Seve-ish than ever.

Can a mod change the thread title to 'the golf thread' or something...thankyou pleash
