    Anyone watching it?

    Thomas Bjorn currently has the lead at -5 followed by Miguel Angel Jimenez at -4.

    I'll keep this thread updated with what's going on throughout the Championship.

    And just as I was typing this, Dustin Johnson gets a hole in one at the 16th!

    It's brilliant! Tom Lewis is his name. Let's hope he can keep the good form up throughout the Championship.

    I got told to back Tom Lewis at 8/1 for a top 20 finish, yet stupidly didn't listen, he won the Amateur Links tournament on this course. He was 500/1 before the tournament, still along way to go though, I fancy Steve Stricker to win :biggrin:

    lewis will crumble and wont even finish as the top amateur. Ive backed schwartzel (40/1) and overton (100/1) eachway. Looks like both will be going into the weekend with a very good chance.

    DylanThomas....You have a fair chance, Schwartzel could be the winner. I have McIlroy, Stricker and Anders Hansen, who all have chances. Its as wide open as I can remember, so anyone within 6 shots of the lead can probably win it.

    Regardless of my bets, I'm looking forward to an exciting weekend, i reckon it will continue to be close, and a play play off wouldnt surprise me :biggrin:

    Darren Clarke now on -5. Thomas Bjorn on -4.

    Both -1 for the day which is pretty good considering the conditions.

    Clarke would be way in front if he was putting well.

    Agree about Ricky Fowler, a tremendous round of golf, though he had the advantage of the good weather for his back 9. The guy who had the best round was Tom Watson, even at 61 he showed what a genius he is, he had the worst of the weather, and had the bad weather continued I believe he would only be a couple off the lead. It brightened up for the leaders, so they were very fortunate.

    Would be nice to see Clarke do it, I've had a few beers with him at Wentworth on quite a few occasions, and he's a top guy, one of the most likeable guys on tour, and the fans will route for him, so let's hope that can carry him to victory. My heart says Clarke but my head is telling me Dustin Jhonson will win, I realy hope I'm wrong but I think Jhonson will win tommorow.

    There was an American Pundit on the BBC and he said Clarke could not win and the real leader was -4, he basically just dismissed Clarke, implying he would fall apart tommorow, realy hope Clarke rams his cments straight down his throat, if it can't be Clarke then Jiminez he's another top guy, who deserves a big win :biggrin:
