Rory McIlroy is due on the tee for his third round at 2:30pm. It has been so frenzied around him on home soil at Royal Portrush this week that his parents have settled for a viewing spot in the garden of a luxury hotel by the fourth fairway. #TheOpen

Still a long way to go if Lee Westwood is to discard the unwanted record as the man with the most major appearances (92) without winning one, but the 52-year-old Englishman - with wife Helen on the bag - made a strong start at Royal Portrush yesterday.

This is feedback I have repeatedly heard from those in attendance here this fortnight. While the scoreboard eventually updates, it can take a few seconds to do so, leaving much of the crowd in limbo after the point.
@stu_fraser I was on court one last Wednesday - there were so many times we didn’t know the call. Often when the ball was in but you’re thinking did we miss an out because it was so quiet. We ended up watching the umpire for most of the match as he may a hand signal indicating in and out.

Electronic line calling is here to stay at Wimbledon despite the controversy this fortnight, but would like to see one particular change made here and across the tour: a visual indication to prevent confusion for those who haven’t heard the audio call.
