Shane missing a shortish putt on the last shame. Great work by both of them if  they could have got one or 2 shots better may have been very interedting as the leaders are struggling in tough conditions

Is Koepka's caddy from the north?

Koepka's bagman is Ricky Elliott, who is originally from Portrush in Northern Ireland.

He grew up with 2010 US Open champion Graeme McDowell and is also close friends with Ian Poulter.

The caddie, who played at Royal Portrush Golf Club as a junior, was a promising youngster, winning titles such as the Ulster Boys Championship and the Ulster Youth Championship.

Elliott represented Ireland at the 1990 European Youths Championship with Michael Hoey.

Highest placed finisher from the North.

Phil going well here surprised nobody's called out Koepka for choking so hard!!

He hasn't obviously but it just seems to be the way we go on in this thread.

Maybe not the way Brooks is imploding on the back 9

Mickelson has the best short game I've seen since Seve in his pomp.

Brilliant from Mickelson. What a performance all weekend. He'll be missed when he finally retires.

Great to see Lowry and Harrington do so well. Nice to see Irish flags near the top of the leaderboard.

Brilliant to see and they clearly benefitted from playing together.
Mickelson was just sublime. That's a really tough course and he plotted his way around it so, so well.

I have never liked McIlroy. But he is a talented golfer and his results prove that. I wouldn't wish him to fail, it doesn't bother me either way though. That course is brutal and +3 is still in the hunt.

Other than the, perhaps glaringly obvious, what has he done to annoy you? After 15 years in the public eye, he always comes across well and seems a good guy, in a sport too, where there is fairly high proportion of  assholes.

Actually not the glaringly obvious, perhaps that is you jumping to the glaringly obvious, family had interactions with him when he first got some cash. The impression he left was not positive. See previous comments I have made on his honesty in interviews.
