wow...this is really getting great, seriously. this course has really been playing a lot harder this year so anything can happen along with the open pressure.

also duval is really, really playing well. he's had the breaks against him, but he's playing through. lets go dd.

[Zeph]

I'm rooting for Phil!

[ControlJunkie]

Huge birdie by Duval! He could make it very interesting in the last few holes!

Horrible, horrible break for Hunter Mahan.

Whats up with Glover, he looks like a Bulldog chewing a wasp? You're leading the US Open for heaven's sake!!

[CG031]

Remember the live blog, too:

Yeah, it really was one of the worst I've seen. I mean, he could have had a tap in now he's really far away.

[Chilli Dipper]

There's going to be a playoff. The question is, how many?

[CG031]

This is truly unbelievable. Imagine is Duval didn't make the TRIPLE bogey earlier in the round? Even if he just held that to a bogey or double. That stroke or two would have been so key...but man has this ended up being so much better than we anticipated earlier in the week.

[ControlJunkie]

FIGJAM MUST birdie this hole! Cant believe he bogeyed 17! I'd like to see a 3 way playoff with Duval, Glover, and FIGJAM. That would be pretty awesome I think.

[CG031]

I think Glover will win outright now unless he chokes.

I wouldn't. I'm pretty tired of watching golf at this point. I don't really care which of the three wins, but man have I sat on the couch a lot since Thursday.

[Chilli Dipper]

It's Glover's championship if he gets the distance right on 17.

[ControlJunkie]

LOL, wish I could say the same! Looks like you're in luck though, barring a big choke by Glover.

Yeah an 18 hole play-off would seem a crazy idea at this late stage. Glover has it to lose now anyway, couldnt stand watching him for another 18.

Glover lays up off the tee - which will give him the same approach he has hit all week into 18 (not a bad idea), however if he gets a gust of wind or pulls/pushes it with a 6 or 7 iron, he could get into trouble. Barnes is up close - could we see birdie/bogie to force a playoff?

[Prairie Golfer]

I wonder what odds I can get on Ben Curtis at the British Open...

I might even drop a fiver on Ian Baker Finch

[Prairie Golfer]

I'm glad Glover has enough of a lead. If he had a three footer to win or send Phil and Duval into a playoff there would be so many shouts of "Noonan" from the drunken idiots they'd have to clear the stands.

[ControlJunkie]

Wow, how did that putt by Barnes not go in? Excellent effort.
