    J Rose -5 (17)

    Driver in the hand for Justin Rose on the final tee. Whooosh.... "Lovely," someone nearby tells the Englishman. Indeed it is. Well up the fairway, a wedge away from the dancefloor...

    K Kisner -5, K Chappell -6 (13)

    Co-leader Kevin Chappell has hit a wild drive. That looked like it ended in a gorse bush.

  5. Molinari putting for eaglepublished at 17:34 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    T Woods -4, F Molinari -6 (13)

    Co-leader Francesco Molinari follows Tiger Woods onto the 14th green in two. He's much closer to the flag. He'll have a putt for eagle.

    Tiger orders the marshals to move everyone back to the left. Incredible focus from Tiger. “Talk to me Jojo," he says. “75 yards to the bunkers”. Those are the spectacle bunkers that lend their name to hole.

  7. Woods in rough againpublished at 17:33 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    T Woods -4, F Molinari -6 (13)

    Tiger Woods can't find a fairway right now. Another shout of fore as the ball skews left on the par-five 14th. He's got a bit of luck by landing on a path and therefore getting a decent lie.

    He gives the ball an almighty whack and finds the green but it's a long, long, long. long way from the hole.

    J Rose -5 (16)

    Justin Rose has enjoyed a late flurry at Carnoustie, finishing birdie-birdie yesterday and also sinking threes on the par-four 18th on Thursday and Friday.

    Another birdie-birdie finish will stick him in pole position... a long putt on 17... close, but not close enough.

    J Spieth -6, X Schauffele -6 (11)

    Oooo, Xander Schauffele has over-hit the green at 12. Jordan Spieth is almost directly next to him in the first cut, 181 yards from the pin - he goes right at it, almost rattles the flag and it rolls up a bank at the back of the green and back down on to the fringes.

  10. Postpublished at 17:30 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    F Molinari -6 (13)

    Molinari on the 14th tee... big drive down the middle. If the Italian is going to break his run of pars then it is going to be on this favourable par five. This 513-yarder is the easiest hole on the course and the only one today which is being played under par.

  11. Par for McIlroypublished at 17:28 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    R McIlroy -6 (15)

    Into the heart of the green from Rory McIlroy, trouble is the pin is down to the left. A long-shot birdie putt for the outright lead.

    He rolls it to the right of the cup, glove flapping in his back pocket, and tickles in for par.

    Tiger strolls right in front of me as he leaves the 13th green towards the 14th tee, chuntering to himself as he studies his well thumbed yardage book. It should tell him Spectacles. Par-five. Downwind.

  13. Postpublished at 17:26 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    Just the FIVE men at the top now.

    They are Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Kevin Chappell, Francesco Molinari and Xander Schauffele.

  14. Bogey for Kisnerpublished at 17:24 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    K Kisner -5, K Chappell -6 (12)

    A trip to the sand costs Kevin Kisner. He falls out of the lead and back to five under.

    It could have been even worse but for a good putt at the finish.

    Kevin Chappell makes a par putt of a similar length.

  16. WATCH: Spieth finds trouble to double bogey the sixthpublished at 17:23 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    This is the moment Spieth found trouble at the sixth hole. He is still in a share of the lead but he will be kicking himself.

  17. Par for Woods and Molinaripublished at 17:23 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    T Woods -4, F Molinari -6 (13)

    The bounce has gone from Tiger Woods' step. His putt from 30 feet goes narrowly wide but there's none of the same excitement around the green as the ball heads to the hole. He makes par.

    Francesco Molinari is putting together a sensational round. Another pressure putt goes in. Another par. He's still in the tie for the lead.

  18. Pars for Spieth & Schauffelepublished at 17:22 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    J Spieth -6, X Schauffele -6 (11)

    Xander Schauffele has perfected the one leg in the sand, one on the bank look - like a snooker star showing off on Big Break.

    This is turning into a bit of a gameshow... anyone could win it, but Jordan Spieth has the chance to move into the outright lead with a birdie putt.

    It just swings left, stays up, and the defending champion tucks away another par.

    Schauffele took a very different route, but also holds his nerve for par.

  19. Postpublished at 17:21 British Summer Time 22 July 2018

    T Fleetwood -4 (15), J Rose -5 (16)

    Told you about an hour and a half ago Tommy Fleetwood was out of the running... he's now two shots off the lead.

    Back to back birdies on 14 and 15 bring the Englishman back to four under. Remarkable.

    Justin Rose, in the group ahead, pars the 16th and stays in contention...
