I doubt JS is embarrassed, he's OWGR #1 and Paramor has already been painted a villain for the penalty he called on the kid at the Masters.

 

Not saying he's embarrassed. I'm saying there was a moment of embarrassment when everyone could see him being spoken to and "put on the clock" or whatever it is. 

Paramor doesn't give two shits. He's doing his job.

Play suspended (darkness). Spieth, Stenson and McIlroy are all over par this round, but will have to finish the round tomorrow. Sullivan takes the lead after a -5 today, Luiten played himself inside the top 3 after a -4.

I turned it on when Jordan/Rory/Rickie were teeing off. What caused the delay? I never heard.

Man, Rory and Jordan didn't look good today. Spieth's irons were terrible, Rory's weren't much better. Neither could make a putt.

Fog delayed the game for almost 3 hours. First rounds started at aprox. 10 instead of 7.

Play again suspended due to fog on Saturday morning. They will resume/start at 10:30 local time.

Birdie, eagle finish from Rory. That makes the round look a lot better

Great tournament. Luiten at T1 into the final day helps

Course looks nice, but I don't understand why this has such a better field than the Bob Hope does, seemingly every year (they're regularly opposite one another, I think).  Is it that much better of a purse?  Is it the pro-am?

No, it's because these Middle Eastern tournaments pay some kind of signing fee for those kind of players. Spieth and Fowler for example are getting rich just for showing up there.

Round three finished. Fowler will start the final round as leader at -13, and will be acompied in the final flight by Joost Luiten (who won 4 shots in the last 4 holes, including an eagle at 18) at -11. At -10 a pack of 5 players including McIlroy and Stenson.

Looks like Rickie has this one in the bag. Good for him. 

[Yukari]

Congratulations to Rickie. Although Pieters made it very interesting.

[Mr. Desmond]

That was dramatic towards the end ... Congrats to Rickie.

Andy why does Cara Robinson look like an AMAZON on Morning Drive after the tourney. Or is Gary that short?

Spieth sneaks one in just before the horn blows.
