								<text><![CDATA[Matt has been in touch from Bordeaux and asks what the key to Watson's success so far has been. Well Matt, first and foremost you can't look past the fact that 59 or 29, he has a wonderfully brisk, rhythmical swing that just hasn't changed really in 40 years and is a fantastic player. Obvious I know, but bear in mind that when he plays in the senior events he's pretty successful so his game is still in very good nick. Add in the fact that nobody in the field has his experience around links lay-outs, especially Turnberry where he's won before, he knows which shot to play and when. Cap it off with a healthy portion of class and temprament and you have an Open leader. I have to admit I'm sceptical he'll actually go on to win it today, I think he'll be close, but will fall just short... and if he does it will almost certainly be those putts from inside five or six feet that cost him. But I'm happy to go on record and say I hope he does win, what a brilliant story it would be... might even convince my old man to dust off his clubs.]]></text>

Good work Terry, I'll be tapping you up for an ale or two if the Aussie does pull it off.]]></text>

He won't be feeling much pressure after already proving himself unlike many of his nearest rivals here who are very likely to wobble towards the end."]]></text>

								<text><![CDATA[Good morning and welcome to the final round at Turnberry. Well what will today bring, the oldest-ever major champion in the form of 59-year-old Tom Watson? He's a stroke clear and looks more than capable of seeing it through. Or will Fisher or Westwood break their major ducks? Can Mrs Fisher hold on until her old man has finished the job? There are questions aplenty to be answered over the next few hours.
