Rai -9 (17)

He could finish birdie-birdie-birdie here.
Brilliant shot.

Aberg -4, Rai -9 (17)
How's the adrenaline, Aaron?
A final approach to the 18th and he has taken dead aim. Well, why not?
It takes one bounce past the hole and rolls round the back and stops 10 feet away.
Huge applause from the massed crowds behind that green.

Love this between Ludvig Aberg and Aaron Rai on the 17th green moments ago.
Game recognises game.
Birdie for Rahmpublished at 23:24 BST
Rahm -6 (16)
Jon Rahm gets out of the front bunker on 16 brilliantly, and leaves the ball close enough to the hole to roll in a birdie putt to get to six under.
Aaron Rai is still clear but Rahm now has to swing for the fences on the last two holes to try and produce something special.

McIlroy finishes four underpublished at 23:22 BST
McIlroy -4 (69), Schauffele -4 (69)
Image source, Getty Images
A whack out of the rough for Rory McIlroy at the last leaves him short of the green but he plays a lovely chip up the green and holes out for par and a closing 69.
Given he was four over after the opening round, it was a valiant effort from the Masters champion but it just wasn't to be his week and he'll be gutted to have covered the par-fives in only level par this week.
He'll be targeting a big run at the US Open at Shinnecock Hills next month.
Xander Schauffele finishes with a flourish to hole out for birdie and matches McIlroy's 69, but they'll both leave Aronimink disappointed.

Rai -9 (17)
One final swing for Aaron Rai as he lines up at the 18th tee.
Fairway? Naturally.
He's closing in.

Bogey for Schmidpublished at 23:21 BST
Smalley -4, Schmid -5 (15)
Matti Schmid looks almost resigned to just trying to get close and hoping for errors elsewhere.
He rolls down to three feet and a certain bogey. Is that the Championship as far as he is concerned?
Postpublished at 23:21 BST
Rai -9 (17)
Penny for Justin Thomas' thoughts.
He's probably been sat in the clubhouse for four hours wondering if his -5 would be enough.
Aaron Rai has put everyone in his rearview mirror.

James Gregg
BBC Radio 5 Live commentator
Aaron Rai just stood there almost in disbelief as the crowd went absolutely bananas behind him.
Rahm off targetpublished at 23:19 BST
Rahm -5 (15)
Aronimink has shown time and again that you have to find the fairways, as even with Jon Rahm's strength all he can do is punch his second shot forward into the front bunker after being off target from the tee.

Surely that's the US PGA for Aaron Rai.
No-one can stop this kind of golf!
He is racing to victory!
Postpublished at 23:18 BST
Rai -9 (17)
We have spoken about how he has played incredibly efficient golf today.
That's the highlight we all wanted to see!

Unbelievable birdie from Raipublished at 23:17 BST
Rai -9 (17)
His name's on the trophy!
Aaron Rai has just holed from 69 feet!!!
Postpublished at 23:15 BST
Smalley -4, Schmid -6 (14)
Matti Schmid hates that. He's on the green but only just in the same zip code as the flag.
A monstrous 70-foot putt awaits. And that's just for a par.
His playing partner Alex Smalley is eyeing up a birdie attempt from 30 feet. Huge moments for both are coming up.

I spend an inordinate amount of time on Data Golf.
Anyone with me?

Rai -8 (16)
Kat Downes
Golf commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Two hours ago, Aaron Rai was at three under, in a tie for eighth after eight holes and Data Golf gave him just a 1.9% chance of being champion.
Those statistics will look very different now.

Postpublished at 23:12 BST
Smalley -4, Schmid -6 (14)
Matti Schmid locates the right fairway bunker off the 15th tee. Reaching the dance floor from here is surely out of the question so it's just a chip down the fairway.
Anything less than a scrambling par could well mean curtains for his challenge.
Postpublished at 23:12 BST
Aberg -4, Rai -8 (16)
Aaron Rai's ball is dry.
It's safely on the green.

Postpublished at 23:11 BST
Aberg -4, Rai -8 (16)
Before we get ahead of ourselves, there is this par-three 17th for Aaron Rai to navigate.
Some serious water trouble here.
Postpublished at 23:09 BST
McIlroy -4 (17)
Rory McIlroy finds the rough at 18.
Cutting a dejected figure now.
