Paul Casey is -2 and the announcer was just said he was "Charging". Only 12 stokes out of the lead, so his charge better speed up.

Casey’s playing partner needs to mark that ball. That drives me nuts.
Isn't Casey the one that makes that determination because he's off the green? Looked to me like the ball was pin high, if not a little passed the pin, so Casey would want it there, because if he hits it, both balls stop there.

Right, which is against the spirit of the rules. “Protect the field”, you shouldn’t be giving your playing partner an advantage.

Respect to Tiger. Not a terrible tourney for him.
Not at all. I think it was a pretty great showing, and I fully expect to see him in the winner's circle this year. Maybe not in a Major (although, if it's going to be a major, my money is on the British), but he's getting there.

Not counting Spieth out of this yet. If he can get passed his demons on #12, he's going to make a run.

Just before Rory hit his second on 2 the commentator said something like "Rory trying not to go for the pin." Rory's a fun player to watch when he's on it.

Edit: Watching on Sky in't UK.

Well considering he started the day 16 stroked back, obviously the championship is out of reach, but he is -5 on the round, and just put one inside of 15 feet on 13 for an eagle chance.

Simpson also tearing the course apart

63 is certainly in play today

Casey makes Eagle, goes -4 on Amen corner, and is -7 on the round

I've never seen #2 played that way on Sunday. That's insane.

Charging is still the wrong word. He's not charging, he's playing incredibly well today. But his chance for charging has expired.

Paul Casey playing well on Sunday when he's 15 strokes back. A tradition unlike any other.
