    ah if it was Irish Beef, you might be more tolerant;)

    Seems a real Char nice bloke to me. Plenty of bland characters in golf.

    Okay even his mother calls him Beef apparently but that merely begs the question as to whether his father calls him Beef as well. Hope they clear that mystery up on the next hole.

    To me he comes across as a lad who can't believe his luck and is still rooted in where he came from.......he looks like he's out for a game with his mates and that he can't believe no one has caught him out and told him to get lost!

    Am on Stenson for the fact he's been the best over the back 9 all week but needless to say it's a different test today, even in such clement weather. Looks a mere case of who blinks first the way they're both playing.

    If Phil plays well - don't think Henrik will have head for it.

    Now at the moment he looks very cool - like he was in Ryder cup 2014.

    But never trust a Swede in the lead.



    I fully expect that to be quoted back if the slow one wins.
