CHOI GETS LUCKY
After a confident tee shot from Richard Green on the 18th, Choi followed and came within inches of the water. Had it rolled in, that would have put an entirely different complexion on events, but in the end, he should still be fine – particularly with a big lead of four over the Australian.
ALMOST HOME FOR CHOI
It’s as you were at the top of the leaderboard with one to play after both Richard Green and leader K.J. Choi made par on the 17th. Choi’s lead remains four over Green, and he’s one competent hole away from the title.
NOT LONG TO GO
Here’s the state of play with two holes to play. KJ Choi is leading at 11-under, with Australian Richard Green four behind with just two holes to play. Paul Broadhurst bogeyed the 17th to leave him five behind and surely out of the running.
Meanwhile, Angel Cabrera has just finished his round with a 73 to leave him two-under for the tournament, while that’s the score three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington has finished on too.
A BIG PAYDAY FOR THE WINNER
This year, players are competing for a prize money payout of $2.85m at Carnoustie, an increase of $100,000 on the 2023 event. The winner will take home $447,800 while the runner-up will have the consolation of a $298,680 paday.
CONFIDENT K.J.
Surely Choi has this in the bag. He’s just made par on the 16th leaving him four ahead of Paul Broadhurst with just two to play. A maiden senior Major title is within his grasp.
GREAT EFFORT FROM BROADHURST
Before the tournament, Bernhard Langer questioned whether all the players could walk Carnoustie, and the difficulties for Paul Broadhurst were clear after his par at the 15th kept his hopes alive. The 58-year-old hobbled off the green afterwards, so it’s safe to say that wherever he finishes on the leaderboard, it won’t have been without considerable discomfort along the way.
BOGEY FOR GREEN
While Choi maintains his four-shot lead, for Richard Green, his chance of victory just became even slimmer with a ogey on the 15th that sees him move five off the leader. All eyes on Paul Broadhurst now to see if he can somehow narrow Choi’s lead on the closing holes.
GETTING CLOSER FOR CHOI
The leader had a long putt for birdie on the 15th, and though he didn’t hold it, he made no mistake with his…
