Leader board at link.

Links golf, rough weather, David Feherty in a kilt...It must be the British Open. Because it is Scotland, the leaders are on the course now. Phil Mickelson and Henrik Stenson are tied at 11 under through 3, in the third round.

Phil just got very lucky with his tee shot. Stenson looks real solid right now.

It looks like the video is being shot on a cellphone.

The 100 yard eighth is tying them up in knots.

After making a great birdie, he makes a horrible bogie.

Saw a shot yesterday - the dood smacked it out of a greenside pot bunker. Not far enough. It hit the short grass and rolled downhill on the green stuff back AROUND the bunker. It went behind the player and ended up back in the sand.

Unreal.

Okay, well we have it set up for tomorrow. The same two men will go out in the final pairing. Stenson -12, Mickelson -11.

Camera clicks.

Seems to be the case. It is annoying to be sure. But then again when you’re on top the leader board, it is to be expected. How many good shots did Mickelson make when there were also camera clicks? To blame a poor shot on the cameras, or on the course conditions, his caddy, etc. is the type of think he does all too often and why I don’t particularly care for him as a player.

When he made the approach shot all the cameras clicked as he started his swing. It was distracting and he let them know.

He did not blame his shot (which wasn’t all that poor) on the cameras exactly IMO. But yeah, if he was leading by two it probably wouldn’t have bothered him as much.
