Justin Rose is only able to advance the ball about 60 yards with his second shot from the deep rough at the seventh. Has a chance to get down in two still to stay at level par, after his approach lands within 15 feet of the hole. Another dropped shot for Martin Kaymer on the ninth, his fourth in the last three holes, to move back to two over.

Phil Mickelson's charge comes to an abrupt halt after a chip around the eighth green is under hit and comes back almost to his feet. He faces a fight to stay at level par.

South Africa's George Coetzee looks like he is heading for another birdie after hitting his tee shot at the 15th to within a few feet of the pin.

He sinks the putt and takes a share of the lead with Rory McIlroy at six under. A third birdie in a row for the birthday boy.

On this day in 1993, Greg Norman won the Open Championship at Royal St George's. He struck a final round of six under to lift the Claret Jug for the second time.

The Australian, known as 'The Great White Shark' robbed Nick Faldo who had led on day two and three.

4th (Road)

Par four, 372 yards

The shortest par four on the course bur don't expect an easy time. Three newly situated bunkers will swallow any wayward drives, with players looking to stay left on a narrow fairway to open up the green. Birdie opportunities should be common.

Clutch putt made by Adam Scott to stay at three under on the sixth, while Phil Mickelson misses a birdie chance on the seventh to get into the red. Things are slipping away for Martin Kaymer after a storming start, as a third dropped shot in two holes on the eighth moves him back to one over.

What a birthday this is turning out to be for South African George Coetzee. The 28-year-old sinks another long putt on the 14th for his fourth birdie of the day to move to five under and within a shot of leader Rory McIlory.

Mickelson is working up a bit of momentum. His approach shot on the seventh leaves him within eight feet for birdie. The defending champion has picked up three shots in the last three holes to move to level par for the championship.

Almost the bunker for Justin Rose's tee shot on the sixth but it skips around the edge and somehow works its way onto the green. Rose is level par for his round and the championship.

Spain's Rafael Cabrera-Bello is sitting nicely in tied 10th at the moment after a birdie on the first moves him to three under. Ireland's Shane Lowry is under way after an impressive first-round 68 left him on four under.

The birthday boy George Coetzee must have had a great present this morning. He is beaming.

Coetzee, 28, has just dropped a putt from over 50 feet on the 13th green. It was travelling, but deadly accurate and he is now four under and closing in on the lead.

The South African started playing golf as a 10-year-old and won the first tournament he ever played in, shooting 49 on a nine hole course.

At last, something has gone right for Adam Scott today. He makes up for one of his two dropped shots with a birdie at five to return to three under and three shots off the lead.

Adam Scott for eagle on the fifth. Close, but he leaves himself a testing putt from three feet for birdie. He needs this after dropping back to two under.

3rd (Course)

Par four, 426 yards

With a tee shot flanked by out of bounds on one side and the clubhouse on the other, bravery and accuracy are tested. A sharp dog leg to the right requires a well-positioned drive, before an approach of around 190 yards to a green protected by a swale on the safer left side away from the out of bounds on the right.

Keep your fascinating tales about unexpected accidents and mementos at sporting events coming. Here are a couple more corkers:

Dan in Newcastle: Michael Vaughan hit me on the head with his umbrella whilst walking past me at Lord's in the heavy rain in 2005.

Anon: Lytham '88. Seve smashes a drive deep into a huge bush. The ball whistled over my head and I saw exactly where it had gone, and so dived in after it. I signalled that I had found it and in clambers Seve with a 7 iron. Every other player in the field would have taken a drop, but not Seve, oh no. He then grips the club halfway down the shaft and hacks it out left handed about 3 yards. Enough to then hit the green and save par. All I got in return for finding the lost ball was a smile and a nod. A memory I'll treasure forever.

Adam Scott gives himself an outside chance of an eagle with a wedge to within 20 feet on the fifth. He needs something to happen to spark his round into life having dropped back to two under for the tournament.

A massive blow for Martin Kaymer as he double bogeys the par-four seventh after finding the gorse with his tee shot. Kaymer has moved back to one under.

Those tee shots on the fifth were just like you probably produce down your local driving range.

Adam Scott lampooned his ball 362 yards, cutting off a massive dog-leg. Justin Rose crashed it a pathetic 358 yards and Jason Dufner flew 312. These guys need to hit the weights room.

Martin Kaymer has already played four on the par-four seventh and isn't yet on the green. The German was flying this morning with three birdies from the first six holes but he will at least drop back to one under for the championship here.

His chip from the semi rough is five feet from the hole, leaving him a fight for a bogey.
