Quail Hollow Round 4

Only one player in the top 10 shot over par on Saturday, famous Phil. Phil at one stage was putting like I've never seen someone putt before, having made 42/42 putts from inside of 10 feet. Mindblowing.

Their is currently 9 players within 2 strokes of the lead coming into Sunday. John Senden made the biggest move up the leaderboard on Saturday so it will be interesting to see if he has two really quality rounds in him over the weekend.

Mickelson, the overnight leader on Friday finished off his round horribly yesterday with a double on 15 after smashing one way over the OB fence and a bogey on the very next hole.

Nick Watney double bogeyed the par 3 17th on his way to a -1 round. That had a total of 5 birdies.

Scott Gardiner who was in the final pairing on Saturday unfortunately shot a disappointing +4 round. Nevertheless a great experience for the 37 year old rookie.

Rory McIlroy struggled with his putting all day yesterday, and came in at -5 with a +1 round that had an eagle and a double. This course suited McIlroy this week due to the need to hit a flying carry drive as the fairways are damp. 
Plus, McIlroy is the 2011 champion here at Quail Hollow.

I could see Watney-Moore-Westwood shooting low on Sunday to take the tournament between them. 

My money is on Westwood.
