1831: Now hear this. Young master Poulter, resplendent in strawberry milkshake coloured pants (ok, trousers) birdies the 7th, too, to climb to level par. And then, as if to rub in Saturday’s woes, Vijay Singh holes from a bunker on the 2nd to begin with two birdies and get back to two under.1823: Ian Poulter makes his first birdie of the day at the 6th to inch to one over. Oliver Wilson is also one over after four.1819: Sod’s Law says Vijay Singh can’t buy a putt despite playing pretty nicely on Saturday and then holes from 20ft for birdie on the 1st on Sunday. Now the best-placed player on course at one under.1800: The wind is getting up at Hazeltine and the sky is darkening. We could be in for some weather this afternoon.From Kwiniaskagolfer on 606:"Tiger is -5 on the par fives, Padraig is - 2. Play on the par fives was the crucial difference last week and is likely to be the same today."1750: Phil Mickelson is having a right old rollercoaster of a round. Eagle at the 1st, double at the 6th, birdie at the 9th, bogey at 11, birdie at 14, bogey at 15, triple bogey at 16. He’s three over for the day, 11 over for the tournament.1745: Padraig Harrington arrives at Hazeltine sporting a red shirt not too dissimilar to the type that Tiger Woods traditionally wears for the final round.

But then he’s not Hazza, he Not that Paddy’s in the final group.1740: Let’s round up some early starters then, shall we Alastair Forsyth is last at 14 over for the tournament after 13 holes. Chris Wood is 12 over, four over for the day, after 15. Phil Mickelson is seven over after 14. On 15 he hit a chip and someone from the gallery said, “Oh my God, did you hear the spin” Luke Donald is level for the day and five over overall after eight. Jim Furyk (four over) chips from the edge of the 9th with one shoe on, one bare foot. Does it for his putt, too. Ian Poulter pars his first three holes for two over.1730: Afternoon all, and welcome to the final round of the 91st USPGA at Hazeltine National. It’s all set up for a classic, with Tiger Woods aiming to win a 15th major title and maintain his 100% record of winning of every major he has led after 54 holes. Woods leads by two from YE Yang and Padraig Harrington and will partner the Korean in the final group at 1945 BST. Harrington has won all three of his majors when coming from behind and will partner Henrik Stenson in the penultimate group at 1936. US Open champion Lucas Glover is four behind with Stenson, while another three-time major champion Ernie Els is one further back on three under with Soren Kjeldsen.
