Rahm par, Noren bogey
Rahm -1, Noren +1 (4)
It's a par for Rahm on 4.
Rahm burned the left edge with his 25-footer for birdie.
But his playing partner Noren made a sloppy three-putt bogey.
That's likely Noren's hopes gone now.

The Open Championship Final Round LIVE updates as Xander Schauffele wins at Royal Troon
Welcome to live golf scores, updates and commentary from the final round of The Open Championship at Royal Troon.
Xander Schauffele has won his second major of the season at The 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon.
Schauffele, 30, carded a flawless final-round 65 on the famed Ayrshire links to seal his second career major in the space of two months.
His 65 marked the low round of the day.
Schauffele finished the week on 9-under par.
The American superstar has now won two of the last three majors.
Schauffele's ninth PGA Tour victory also now sees him replace Rory McIlroy as the second best player in the world.
For the first time since 1982, all four majors have been won by American golfers - Schauffele (US PGA, The Open), Scheffler (The Masters), Bryson DeChambeau (US Open).
Xander Schauffele
Justin Rose birdied the last for a 67 to finish two shots behind Schauffele in a tie for second with Billy Horschel (68).
The Englishman told us he was 'gutted' to come up shy in his bid for his first Claret Jug but that he was also 'super proud' of his efforts.
Thriston Lawrence had grabbed the outright lead heading into the back nine but he could not live with Schauffele's birdie barrage on the back nine.
The South African played the back nine in 1-over par to finish the week in solo fourth on 6-under par.
Schauffele trailed Lawrence by two shots when going out in 34 but he rallied thereafter with four birdies in the space of six holes from the 11th.
And nobody could keep pace with him.
Schauffele's birdie on the tough par-4 11th, where he fired a dart to two feet from the left rough, was the only one there all day.
Elsewhere, Scottie Scheffler duffed his tee shot down the 18th as he slumped to a 71.
The World No.1 finished T7 with LIV Golf's top performer of the week, Jon Rahm.

Triple for Thomas
Thomas +3 (1)
It's a triple for JT as expected.
What an awful start.
13:40
JT on the beach at 1
Justin Thomas has only hit two shots so far down the par-4 1st and he's probably just played himself out of The Open.
Thomas started the day at level par and just four shots off the pace.
But he's just sent his opening tee shot way right onto the beach in what looked like a possible shank.
JT then reloaded off the tee and sent his ball into the fairway bunker.
The ball is right up close to the lip.
An absolute shocker on the 1st for JT.
Potential triple bogey coming up.

Day bogey at 10
Day +1 (10)
It's a sloppy bogey from Day at the 10th and that's probably his chances gone now.
Day is still having a solid round at 3-under par but he's now over par and five back with just eight holes remaining.
You have to feel Day would need to birdie just about every hole in to the clubhouse now to have a shot at winning this.
Conditions are looking favourable for the players out there right now.
13:15
Noren to level par
Noren Par (3)
Alex Noren also makes a birdie on the 3rd playing alongside Rahm.
The Swede is off to an equally impressive start here with two early birdies.
Noren is now four back.
13:14
Another birdie for Rahm!
Rahm -1 (3)
Rahm is relentless today.
It's a third straight birdie.
Rahm smashed a drive just shy of the green at the par-4 3rd and then chipped up beautifully to five feet.
The two-time major champ then converted the putt to make it three birdies on the spin.
Rahm is now into the red and just three shots off the pace.
What a start from the LIV Golf man!
Jon Rahm

Day birdies the 9th
Day Par (9)
Jason Day enters the mix with a fourth birdie of the day at the 9th.
He came up shy with his approach shot but then binned the putt from well off the green.
The former World No.1 is now 4-under par for the round and back to level par.
Four off the pace, Day will need to keep his foot down here with nine holes to play.
Jason Day

Rahm birdies the 2nd
Rahm Par (2)
Rahmbo is off to a flyer.
The reported $600m LIV Golf signing has just rammed home a 20-footer for birdie on the par-4 2nd.
He's now 2-under thru two holes and up to level par for the tournament.
That's just four back.
Don't rule out the two-time major champion just yet.
Should Rahm win The Open today, he would be just a US PGA title away from completing the career grand slam.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Jon Rahm

Birdie at 1 for Kirk
Kirk +1 (!)
Chris Kirk enters the mix with a birdie at the 1st.
The American moves to 1-over par.
12:51
Birdies for Rahm and Noren
Noren, Rahm +1 (1)
It's a pair of opening birdies for playing partners Noren and Rahm.
They move to 1-over par and just five back. Right in the mix.
12:26
Birdies for Cantlay and Burmester
Cantlay, Burmester +2 (2)
Cantlay birdies the 1st and Burmester birdies the 2nd as both playing partners move to 2-over par.
Six back, not out of it, but they'll need to keep their foot on the gas.
Very much favourable conditions for the leading groups right now.
12:06
Fox posts a 67
Fox +5 (F)
Ryan Fox posts the best score of the day so far with a 4-under 67. The BMW PGA champion ends the week at 5-over par.

Open Final Round Tee Times
As we say, the leaders are not out there for a fair while yet. The final match of Billy Horschel and Thriston Lawrence gets underway at 2.25pm, so that's a little earlier than the final match on Saturday.
Of the pick of the bunch, Olympic gold medallists Xander Schauffele and Justin Rose join each other at 2.05pm.
English qualifier Daniel Brown, who is bidding to become the first player to win on his major debut since Keegan Bradley at the 2011 US PGA, tees off alongside World No.1 Scottie Scheffler at 1.55pm.

Welcome to LIVE final round updates
Welcome to LIVE final round updates from the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon.
It's a cloudy start to the day but thankfully there's no rain just yet. It's certainly possible today, as after all we are in Scotland, but there won't be anything like we saw on Saturday.
The leaders are not out on the course for another good three hours or so, but the early morning groups are proving there are some birdies to be had on Sunday.
New Zealand's Ryan Fox has the best round going so far today at 4-under par thru 11 holes, which pushes him up to 5-over par in the tournament.
Elsewhere, Jordan Spieth has just birdied two of his opening four holes to get it to 4-over par.
