That is probably the worst spot it could have landed in!

There's a few sharp intakes of breath down by the greenside bunker as Xande Schauffele's tee shot pulls up just short, but he's in a first cut of rough just above the sand - so he might have to actually stand in the bunker and play the shot.

This is no picnic.

Xander will have heard the roars, that will be one thing. He knows they will have meant something from the crowd.

He's got to start looking at the leaderboard, he is going to want to know where he is and then he can get back to the mindset of 'this is just another result'.

At this point in a major championship he is going to have to look and know what he has to do.

Great up and down by Xander Schauffele, and he'll know now what he needs to do to get his first major title - get a birdie on the par-five 18th.

For those interested - Collin Morikawa got a par, crazy I know!

It's a simple enough chip Xander Schauffele has left himself, but I'm not sure tying your own shoe laces is that simple when a major's on the line.

Credit Xander Schauffele though as he plays a lovely low runner that should* be easy enough to tap in.

*See above about nothing being easy at the stage in a major.

Just in case....

If we've got a tie at the top after the final round, and let's face it with such a packed leaderboard there's every chance - there will be a three-hole aggregate score play-off at Valhalla.

Holes 13, 17 and 18 will be used. If there's still a tie after that, it will switch to sudden death using 18, 13, 17 repeatedly.

"Let's go!" yells Bryson DeChambeau as he bounces off the 18th green, dishing out all kinds of first pumps and high-fives for free to the spectators.

Say what you want about him, but he's fully invested in this major and is enjoying his golf, and he's great value as he's obviously putting his heart and soul into this latest challenge.

Will it be enough though? Over to you Xander...

Bryson DeChambeau! What a putt and what a finish that was from him for a round of 64.

Hello! Bryson DeChambeau caps off a superb round of 64 by rolling in his birdie putt - but only just as it's dying a death as it approaches the hole but has just enough juice - kinetic energy Bryson would probably call it - left to drop into the cup.

Viktor Hovland can't match it though, maybe a bit rattled by Bryson's birdie his effort is never up and never in as it curls away tamely from the hole.

He then goes and misses the par putt just to add insult to injury to finish with a bogey.

Xander Schauffele takes a full-blooded swing with the big dog off the 17th tee, but he's not quite got the length and he catches the fairway bunker on what's a difficult enough hole from the short stuff.

Work to do.

Justin Rose makes a bogey on the 18th. How many times have we seen someone go left off the tee and struggle on this hole this week?

But what a conclusion for Robert MacIntyre, who signs off with a wonderful eagle.

Viktor Hovland sprayed his approach wide and short of the final green, but has landed a pitch shot certainly within range of a birdie.

Bryson DeChambeau has an awkward pitch out of the rough short of the green with a side hill lie, he's com up a bit shorter.

One of these has to drop to put any kind of pressure on Xander Schauffele.

Safety first from Xander Schauffele as he hits the middle of the 16th green - he's just stepped back from his flag-hunting approach right now coming down the stretch.

Strangely, Collin Morikawa does exactly the same as presumably he's keen to get back to his run of pars all the way to the end.

Schauffele has been able to just about keep control of the tournament all the way through.

We are going to have an exciting last 30 minutes now because those guys are going to be throwing everything at him on that last hole.

That is a golf shot. Robert MacIntyre reserves probably his best shot of the day for his approach into the 18th hole, cutting a wood in from left to right. His ball dances onto the green and almost into the cup.

Justin Rose is taking the scenic route...

Like him or not, Bryson DeChambeau is not boring, and he gives his final tee shot of the day the full beans - although on this occasion the full beans was just too much beans - as he's landed in the bunker and it'll be tough to make three from there.

Viktor Hovland stayed out of the sand but may have a tricky stance.

Xander Schauffele is away at the 16th with a fairway found - this and the next are tough holes before the 18th is the easiest on the course today.

The plan will be nothing silly on these two, then he'll fancy the chance of a birdie on the last - if he needs one....

Viktor Hovland's putt is one of those downhill wobblers that just dribbles the wrong side of the whole - and after Bryson DeChambeau also misses they'll go up the last looking at eagle really to stand a chance of pipping Xander Schauffele.

Two fairly resigned looking British players troop off the 17th.

Justin Rose takes his medicine from the sand but makes a right hash of his wedge into the dancefloor, leaving a 20-foot putt for par. The 43-year-old can't dispatch that all of a sudden finds himself in a share of fourth.

Robert MacIntyre's hopes of becoming Scotland's first major winner for 25 years have long gone, for this week at any rate, and he collects another par.

Xander Schauffele's a long way away from the hole considering he only had a wedge in. It's definite two-putt territory but his speed control has been excellent all week and he manages to cosy it up to the side of the hole.
