    Looking forward to seeing how Rory handles the pressure today. Him and Bryson are a blockbuster final pairing.

    My * is parked, like it has been all week. This is gonna be epic.

    For my bet I'm hoping Aberg can have a stormer and win. Other than that not fussed who wins just looking forward to some great viewing. Will take a Homa top 10 for an e/w too.

    That first hour and half of round 3 yesterday was unreal!!

    Don't follow the golf really, but do enjoy the Masters. So my knowledge on deChambeau is obviously limited.

    Seems like an absolute *. A Trump Maga type *. Hope wee Roary skelps him.

    Got a tenner on Bryson at 20s. Hoping he can get in McIlroy’s head. The US Open has to be playing on Rory’s mind. Never liked McIlroy, but even if I did, the way Paul McGinley goes on about him, it would make me want him beat anyway. What a sausage McGinley is. Going on about how it would be good for the game if Rory wins it as golf needs a megastar. * me. What a lot of *. There already plenty megastar. Bryson is one.

    @Double Dutch when Bryson came on the scene he was marmite, loves the science of the game and bulked up to play with sheer brute power and actually won the US Open doing it. Upset a lot of traditionalists along the way. He was a bit of a * at times and I didn't really like him. He's matured massively, despite being heavy into "influencing" and involved in YouTube golf * and all that jazz.

    He's altered his game now and much more cautious and measured and he's sort of acknowledged he was a * before. I really like him now and wouldn't be against him winning.

    @murphy88 agreed mate, cannot take to McIlroy, wouldn't grudge him this one, but he's just a weirdo and McGinley is such a *.

    He must have been an insufferable * then if this is him now :giggle1:

    I've never really thought much either way about McIlroy, but watching it yesterday I was mega impressed wae his demeanor given what's at stake for him. Contrasted to the arrogant USA! USA! USA! vibe I get off Bryson.

    No contest for me man, hope Rory gets it done. Done well to steady the ship here.

    Don't think Aberg is totally out of this either BTW, looks like he's right on it. Unlucky not to go level wae Bryson there

    Rory hitting enough ropey swings to still give encouragement to others. He was lucky his ball wasn’t completely dead at 5 and got lucky having a gap. The back 9 at Augusta means there could be huge drama. Bryson isn’t playing well here though.

    Aberg is going to regret all these missed opportunities. He could be right in this.

    "I did this, I did that"

    And then brutally slates anyone who makes a mistake.
