    Kisner on the 17th for a share now......he's just short for a tap in to remain at 6 under. Tiger is putting first here.....he must be outside of Molinari just a little bit. He needs this one to put the pressure on Molinari for his birdie putt. Tis one should be straight in....not a hard putt. NOPE....it breaks left right off the stroke. Tiger finishes at 5 under.....I thought he was at 6 under. Molinari has made absolutely everything so far......and makes this 5 footer for the outright lead. He goes to 8 under with a two-under par 69 today.......with no bogeys on his card. He's been the hottest player on the tour lately with two wins.....and now perhaps a third in this oldest major in the last 6 starts. Only Shauffele has a real chance to tie him now.....and Xander just missed a very makeable putt on that last hole.

    Shauffele's ball is hit right of the green......he's in trouble now. Spieth hits his in the pot bunker......definitely not a good shot at all. He's all over the map today for such a good and talented player. Chappell now for his approach on 18.....just 4 feet right of the pin. Kisner now needs to hole this one out to tie for the lead on 18. NOPE.....leaves it 20 feet right of the pin and past the pin for birdie.

    Now Shauffele on 17......he's at 7 under and pitching this one over the bunker from 100 yds out......a tough shot. He carries the bunker and it bounces off the downslope onto the green a long way from the pin for par. This is that par 3 17th hole......neither Xander or Spieth hit the green......both with poor shots.

    Molinari got some good bounces today......but made the most of it. He played almost flawlessly.....everybody gets bounces on this course.....today was his turn to get some good ones.

    Good bounces come from hitting the ball in the right spot on this course. Shauffele's putt for par stays just outside right. It's all but over with now for everybody. Molinari will win this year's OPEN. Kisner finishes at 6 under.....he started tied for the lead at 9 under. Spieth misses a very short part putt on 17.....he just loses it when his chances end. Chappell makes his birdie putt to finish at 6 under.

    Shauffele would have to eagle this 18th hole for a tie with Molinari......he's the last guy with a chance now. Spieth fell totally apart today and especially on the last 4 holes.

    Spieth in the rough again off the tee......can't even drive it straight now. Can't feel sorry for him......he grew up with with a silver spoon and has been playing this game since he could pick up a club. I betcha Molinari didn't grow up like that......he's earned his way the hard way. Good for him!! He deserves every bit of this Claret Jug trophy.....he earned it more than any other golfer this week.

    Tiger did a really good job this week.....considering his surgeries and extended layoff from the game. At least Spieth had a chance to defend his title.....even though he came up missing in action today. Maybe a showing like this will bode well for him in future major tournaments.....maybe not.....you just don't know with a player like him.

    Shauffele's shot comes up short and Molinari accepts congrats from everybody for the win. Engraving his name on the Claret Jug now.

    He's from Italy......we'll have to hear if an Italian golfer has EVER won a major golf tournament......much less the British Open.

    Spieth taps in for par......one birdie today and shoots a 5 over 76 today......not a good round by all standards. Shauffele for 2nd place by himself if he sinks this putt for birdie. Shauffele is the real deal for sure.....for his rookie season. He lips the cup and will tap in for par......to finish tied for 2nd at 6 undr and shoots a 3 over 74 today.

    Rose, McIlroy, Shauffele, and Kisner all tied for 2nd at 6 under. The winning score by Molinari was 8 under with that birdie on 18. Tiger played well too.....but came up a few holes short even though he had many chances. Molinari made the best of his chances......parred everything except the par 5 14th and the 18th.....he birdied those two just like the course offers.

    He didn't play exceptionally well.....just didn't make any mistakes and was in the best position to win without exceptional play when all the other leaders faltered. McIlroy played well today too, but missed some opportunities as well. Molinari wins with a round of 2 under today in his final round......he got some good bounces to stay out of trouble. That's the way the ball bounces on this course for sure. Justin Rose also shot 2 under par today.....everybody else close ended up shooting par or over par today. I guess Molinari won this tournament with good putting and good driving with a smattering of lucky bounces.

    The British Open has a history of the winner getting his share of lucky bounces......regardless of which of the 4 venues it's played on. The wind usually has something to do with it, and the links style course with the conditions. This week the weather was sunny and mild for the most part......just windy today.....and not howling......just a steady wind that the golfers could manage.

    I was not impressed by the play this week by any of the golfers in this year's OPEN......except for Spieth and Shauffele yesterday and Kisner the whole way. Spieth and Shauffele feel back today to the field substantially, but Kisner did not......he played well the entire tournament like Molinari did.....except was not able to convert on his opportunities today. Tiger played well this week also......look for him to start winning a few again soon. He's got the game to do it, for sure. As long as he stays healthy. Spieth is still very young and will have many more chances......so will Shauffele.
