6:37 pm
sees on the mistake. once at all, momentum with content. papers she found things ending nicely but size and the third she moulded to it, that feather touch blended with sledgehammer power, by now that my chest get burton's script, the line judge to pt. she did not though, she's in the first 12 final before the french open and found a form in the french open and found a form in the last place she thought to look. well the leaders at the us pga championships begin their third rounds just over an hour's time, but the question on everyone‘s lips going into this weekend is, can anyone stop brooks koepka? the defending champion had a 7 shot lead at the halfway stage and is making one of golf‘s hardest courses look like a walk in park. our golf correspondent iain carter is on long island. what a championship it's been so
6:38 pm
far. how has koepka does this and kept it going in his second round? he backed it up in the worrying thing is that he did it with which he believes was his big game yesterday, he went straight to the range once he completed his round of 65 and all of the night after a record—breaking performance from him, and thus first two rounds, 63, 65, no one shot as low as that in any major in the history of the sport, the hard side of it is spending the long game, the driving of this spin and nailing the ball over the... and is plenty on this bench of christ leaving himself easy approaches, statistics show he's been the strongest and is putting has been secure and that's why he had a commanding lead. jordan spieth has pedigree, as does adam scott — how do they approach the third round — is it already time to attack?
6:39 pm
they have no choice, they are going to have to go though, they hoped that he comes back towards them, the difficulty is that jordan that he comes back towards them, the difficulty is thatjordan has not had a top 20 finish in september last year, so he has to put four rounds into modesto? over whether he can do it despite the promising start, and adam scott is very suspect when he comes under pressure, so again, big time —— big question to be asked for the to play is closest to him on the leaderboard. and iain, what do you make of british hopes — faint at best? they are faint, you have not followed us for under part good form, he lives in the hillside, and he's a sort of player who will relish the opportunity and challenging just behind him, justin rose at three under par not too many players to overtake, but 70 shots to make up, he is 90 shots behind the.
6:40 pm
cani make up, he is 90 shots behind the. can i ask a fan question, what kind of making is in the calendar because ifind it of making is in the calendar because i find it disorientating that the pgas plate now. it is, as traditionally played in august, but the calendar has been switched and they have a made date, i think players have gotten used to it, but i think it's taking a little bit of getting used to certainly by the fa ns getting used to certainly by the fans i think the cloud numbers and the build—up where little lower than people expected obviously tiger woods not here, for the weekend as well. but i think the players i got their head around it, and the fans if you like ijust playing catch up at this stage i think we will get used to the rhythm of the new golfing here pretty soon. thank you. well the main question on the final day of the regular season in rugby union's premiership, was the not so small matter of a place in the post—season play—offs. in the end it boiled down to a shootout between
6:41 pm
harlequins and northampton saints and it was saints who took the vital fourth spot, despite defeat at table toppers exeter. ben croucher watched the action. trying to keep track of the different permutations is enough to make anyone busy. likely northampton helter—skelter season was in their hands by beating exeter at least an early lead certainly helped. they rented to guarantee a top four finished disappeared with their discipline short—handed, northampton fell behind and he emerged from a quick hide and seek with the ball and the try, and bade that is further pushed to clear and said they could march no further. they confirmed the fate beaten by a0 points 221. all of this meant harlequin could sworn up the plath party only for the finale to have a sting in detail, the blow from josh may not have been too painful especially when you have joe may not have been too painful especially when you havejoe on your side, bulldozing them crucially
6:42 pm
clear, once you are stunned they come back and deliver more pain. justin said not once but twice dating the back lane to maintain their own hopes, of championship next season, straggling and straggling they fell short, but hang on, somewhere in that was elliot touching down putting queen within touching down putting queen within touching debts —— distance of the top were finish and as the relic is the campaign went past the final minute, james had the chance to win it. that close. nine months 22 matches 100 60 minutes, that's 1760 matches 100 60 minutes, that's1760 minutes it came down to a matter of inches enough to put your ahead in the spin, ben crutcher bbc news. this for them. so here's how things end up in the english premiership... northampton‘s defeat didn't matter in the end. they'll play exeter in the semi
6:43 pm
