Final day fireworks expected.

Royal Birkdale is still in the grip of a timewarp today, as Greg Norman takes a two shot lead into the final round today. The 53-year-old two time former champion shot a sterling 72 in gusty conditions yesterday. With winds rising to over 40mph, no one in the field managed to shoot under par. "I'll put this down in the top three hardest rounds of golf I have played," said Norman. "I have played in tougher weather but this being the third round on Royal Birkdale golf course, it was brutal. Norman will tee off this afternoon in the final pairing alongside defending champion Padraig Harrington, who also shot 72 yesterday, and stands a real chance of retaining the trophy he won after last years dramatic play off with Sergio Garcia. Things wont be easy though, with more gusty winds forecast, and around 10 players within four shots of the lead. So sit back and enjoy. It should be a cracker.
