Rory disappears down the 15th fairway clutching a chilled bottle of water. He’s four holes away from getting stuck into something a lot stronger! But what a four holes they are. Supposedly the toughest on the Open circuit.

"Go on Roooory." Those following the 2014 champion are suddenly on to something.
Another booming tee shot. He's almost skipping into every stroke now.
T Woods -4, F Molinari -6 (12)
Par-three 13th now for Woods and Molinari...
Woods finds the green. Molinari makes a rare mistake. His ball heads towards a gorse bush before settling in the rough.
R McIlroy -6 (14)

He has got the Rory McIlroy bounce and when he has that bounce he is a dangerous boy. He is the danger boy now. He has looked out of it all day.

Wow! Eagle for Rory! It felt like the roof of the 14th green was going to lift off!
What a final day this is!!!
T Woods -4, F Molinari -6 (12)
Tiger Woods has a 35-to-40-foot putt to save par...
He can't do it. It's two putts for bogey. Woods is now two shots back from the lead.
Three shots gone in two holes.
Francesco Molinari has a 10 footer for another par. Never in doubt. So steady. He may well par every hole and win this.
R McIlroy -6 (14)
MAKE THAT SIX!
Rory McIlroy eagles the par-five 14. Arms in the air, the Northern Irishman is dancing around the green - he knew that mammoth putt was in from way out, and for the first time today he takes a slice of the lead.
Unbelievable. Anyone for a six-way play-off?
J Spieth -6, X Schauffele -6 (10)
Jordan Spieth and Xander Schauffele scuttle to within five yards of each off the tee, the Barry Burn in front of them. Some 70 yards to the pin for Spieth, and he hits it a good 80. "That's just really not so good from there," says the defending champion
On the green though, with a an outside chance of a birdie. Doesn't quite make it, but ticking off pars is good for the health at the minute.
Schauffele will join the lead if he can make this mid-range birdie putt... and he confidently strokes it in!
FIVE-way lead at the top.
T Woods -5, F Molinari -6 (11)
The Tiger challenge is in crisis now. After a double bogey on the 11th he finds the rough off the tee on 12.
He's still going for the green but makes a mess of his approach. "You you've turned it again," he groans. It ends all of 100 yards short in more rough.
Woods faces an almost impossible up and down to save par.
K Kisner -6, K Chappell -6 (11)
Kevin Kisner is three over for his round today but is now once again tied for the lead. He fails to hole a birdie putt on the 11th but stays in that four-strong group at six under.
Carnoustie. Wrecker of dreams. Jean van de Velde. The most famous of Open Championship meltdowns. Three straight play-offs. Think you've got it won? Think again...
Peter Scrivener finds out what makes this course 'Car-nasty'.
J Rose -5 (15)
Justin Rose follows up that eagle on the 14th with a par at 15. The dreaded final three to come, but he's already done some damage on the 18th this week...
-6 Molinari (11), Chappell (10), Kisner (10), Spieth (9)
-5 Pepperell (18), Rose (14), Woods (11), Schauffele (9)
Selected: -4 McIlroy (13); -2 Fleetwood (13)
Tiger Woods has lost the lead of The Open after that double bogey. He is still level par for his round.
Here are both of Tiger's birdies.

That really did escalate quickly for Tiger Woods. It was almost criminal to race that putt past.
T Woods -5, F Molinari -6 (11)
Groans from the 11th green. That can only mean one thing. Tiger Woods' bogey putt has missed. He falls back from the outright lead to one shot behind the leaders.
Francesco Molinari makes an 11th par from 11 holes and suddenly he is tied for the lead alongside Kevin Kisner, Kevin Chappell and Jordan Spieth.
J Spieth -6, X Schauffele -5 (9)
Jordan Spieth waits for a train to whiz beyond the ninth green before taking his approach, this hole is aptly named Railway, after all.
Xander Schauffele is spraying shots left and right, anywhere but centre, until digging into his arsenal and pulling out a delightful chip towards the pin from some tricky looking rough.
A well-made par.
A long-range birdie for Spieth. Oh! That was close. Just trickled on by for the American, he'll settle for par.
T Woods -7, F Molinari -6 (10)
Woods gets the putter out for his fourth shot. It's at the flag but too strong. The ball goes eight or nine feet past.
He'll have that for a bogey.
T Woods -7, F Molinari -6 (10)
This looks worse on second viewing for Tiger. He has a bunker in front of him as he chips from the rough and very little green between the far side of the sand and the flag.
He hasn't hit it! The ball lands on the rough and rolls back down, narrowly missing the bunker.
Woods next shot will be his fourth on the par four from a hollow off the green.
