Both leaders dropped a shot on the first hole.
Good start for me. Ive got £5 on Cink to win at 67.00 and he's birdied his first 2 holes to move only 4 behind. Also have £5 on Zach Johnson at 51.00, but that looks a bit unlikely

Thats the poorest final round of a major I can remember. In the end I was pleased Immelman held on, nobody else deserved it with such wayward play. It is a good front runners course, if you can get your head in front it is easier to defend a lead than to attack, and those behind Immelman were probably guilty of playing the scoreboard and not the course. Snedeker, Casey and Flesch were all at -8 at some point on Sunday, but all faded away tamely.
It is alarming how quickly some of the Brits fold when things start to go wrong. Rose, Casey and Poulter all capitulated after the first bad hole, Rose was particulary poor as his bad hole came on Friday! At least Casey and Poulter managed to keep things going a bit longer.
You realise how good Tiger Woods is when things arent going well. I noticed it during the US Open last year when he couldnt buy a good drive at any price and yet come the 72nd hole he still had a putt for a play off. He never wastes a stroke. This week he was never comfortable, hardly holed any makeable putts, and yet he still finished 2nd.
Harrington is getting there, and I think he will win another major in the next couple of years. Its a 72 hole event, 1 bad hole on Thursday or Friday should not end your challenge.
