Lee Westwood’s long overdue wait for Major Championship could finally be over with the Englishman to take a two shot lead into the final round of the 2013 Open. Westwood bounced back brilliantly from a near disastrous bogey at the par three, 16th to post a third round 70 to move to three under par and two clear of the American duo of Tiger Woods and Hunter Mahan. Woods, looking to end a five-year Major’s winless drought, signed for a one over par 72 while Mahan carded a equal best score ...

We’ve been staying in nearby North Berwick for this week’s Open Championship. It’s been great to see all the local businesses get behind golf’s oldest major by decorating their shop fronts in a golfing theme. However there has also been flower competitions run during Open Championship week and we spotted this arrangement. Not sure what Footjoy would say!

Spain’s affable Miguel Angel Jimenez is only two rounds away from becoming the oldest-ever winner of the Open Championship. Jimenez heads into the third round leading by one shot on three under par. And while there is still 36 very difficult holes remaining if the 49-year old Jimenez were to win the 142nd Open he would be two years older than legendary Old Tom Morris when he captured the 1867 Open at age 46 years and 99 days. Also Jimenex could break the record as the oldest-ever Major champion ...

However missing from the weekend ...

Australia’s Jason Day has played just a handful of majors but when it comes to remaining patient nothing has compared to the first two days of this year’s Open Championship at Muirfield. The 25-year old Queenslander, despite carrying an injury just below his left shoulder, is again well in contention to capture a first Major after rounds of 73 and 71 to be at two over par and just three shots behind Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez who leads golf’s oldest major on five under par Day ...

Ian Poulter got a laugh when he saw one of his many fans turn up to Muirfield today wearing a windmill over his head. Poulter took to Twitter following his opening round in this year’s championship posting the following comments:- Ian Poulter ‏@IanJamesPoulter 18 Jul Unfortunately the guys this afternoon will struggle with a few pin positions. 8th hole is a joke, 18th needs a windmill & clown face. Ian Poulter ‏@IanJamesPoulter 18 Jul Beyond angry at the moment, 5 bogeys ...
