What price was Yang pre-tournament? Well, I have a mate who backed him at 300s to win and 150/1 without Woods and just checking on Betfair, someone backed him at the maximum 1000 (999/1) for £168! Woods was backed at a low of 1.16.
Yang milks the applause from the crowd and good luck to him. What a performance to start the day two behind Woods and win by three. Bad move by Paddy Power to pay out on Tiger at halfway!
A deflated Tiger misses his par putt and Yang has won by three shots. He lifts his golf bag in celebration - TaylorMade will be delighted with that!
Yang is the champion!!!! He finishes off in style by rolling in his birdie putt and fully deserves it after hitting the shot of his life.
No miracle from Tiger. His chip stays wide. Yang is about to be crowned champion.
Tiger has to go for the flag but pulls it slightly left and it ends in greenside rough. He will have to chip in and even that might not be good enough. Yang is on the brink!
Amazing shot from Yang!!! His hybrid drops right by the hole and ends around five feet away. What a shot!!! Reminiscent of Shaun Micheel in 2003.
Harrington signs for a 78 - his hopes of retaining the title ruined by that eight at the par three 8th. It leaves him down in tied 10th.
Stenson holes out for par at 18 so stays in the tie for sixth.
Yang holds his nerve and hits a fine drive off the 18th, his ball finishing in the very light semi. Tiger finds the right edge of the fairway so he's still alive.
A quick reminder of the rest of the leaderboard. Westwood and McIlroy are tied third on -3, Lucas Glover is fifth on -2 and Martin Kaymer, Ernie Els and Soren Kjeldsen are tied sixth at -1 alongside Henrik Stenson, who is playing the final hole.
Yang's par putt lips out so Tiger stays alive!
Tiger misses! The door is wide open for Yang now.
Oh no. Yang turns into Tom Watson on the 72nd at Turnberry and hits an awful putt about nine feet short. The gap could be two, one or zero by the end of this hole.
Tiger chunks his ball out to about 10 to 12 feet - a range from which he's been missing all day.
Is it all over? Yang safely finds the green while Tiger flushes his over the back after misreading the wind. Woods' ball isn't visible. Yang goes to 1.3 on Betfair.
The 17th and 18th are the second and third hardest holes on the course so much could happen over this next 30 minutes.
Els finishes with a 74 and that's currently got him in tied seventh.
The golf writers and sub-editors are starting to think up Yang puns now. Irishgolf news tweets a couple: "Be Yang Be Foolish Be Happy" and "Yang, Gifted & .. er .... Korean". Not bad!
Tiger holds his nerve and holes his putt. Yang is one clear with two to go.
Yang could really make a dramatic move now but his birdie effort just slides by. He taps in for par.
Tiger's putter lets him down again and he's left himself a testy par putt.
Peter Doonican writes: "Can you ever remember a tournament where Tiger's putting inside 10 feet has been the aspect of his game to let him down? I'm starting to worry about the Bridgestone/Pga double now." Hi Peter. No, Tiger's putting has been stone cold. Never write him off though.
Stenson bogeys the 16th and drops out of a tie for third.
Woods doesn't like his second as it lands well away from the pin. Yang takes a huge risk by taking on the pin and almost pushes it into the water. It stays dry though and he has a birdie chance from the fringe.
Fine tee-shots by Yang and Woods on the 16th.
Nothing much happening behind the two protagonists. Kjeldsen has just doubled the 16th and drops back to level par.
Tiger's putt stays high and Yang retains his one-shot lead. The Korean is just three holes away from becoming the first Asian winner of a major.
Yang doesn't worry the cup with his birdie putt but it's a safe par. Over to Tiger.....
Tiger hits a decent but not a great wedge at 15. Faces about 12 to 15 feet. Yang's is poor, finishing about 25 feet away.
Yang's second to 15 comes up way short but it's a par five remember. Tiger mishits his second so he too will need a pitch and a putt for his birdie.
McIlroy's par putt at 18 rolls round the rim and drops! A superb round of 70 given that he opened with a double bogey and he's tied in the clubhouse alongside Westwood at -3.
Yang, now flowing with confidence, bombs a drive down the middle of the 15th. Woods replies in kind.
Yang briefly went odds-on at Betfair after the eagle but Tiger is back as favourite again after his birdie to pull the gap back to one.
Never write him off. Woods digs deep and finally holes a putt. However, he's now a shot back. This could be a fantastic finish.
Extraordinary!!! Yang chips in for eagle!!! Yes, it's worthy of all those exclamation marks. Suddenly he has a two-shot lead. Can Tiger cut it back to one with a birdie from about 12 feet?
Els has made one par in the last 10 holes. However his latest non-par is a bogey rather than a birdie at the par five 15th so he's back to -2.
And now to the short par four 14th. Yang's drive just comes up short while Tiger's finds the front bunker. Is it plugged?
Cink not shirking his Twitter duties despite that 81. He tweets: "Tough one today. Must have been an unlucky pair of boxers. Don't worry though. I tossed them into the trash in the locker room when I left."
Despite driving just through the green, Stenson can't get up and down and a par keeps him at -3.
McIlroy sweeps in his par putt and he heads to the 18th at -3, three off the lead. A par will see him match Westwood's current clubhouse leading 285.
McIlroy finds the bunker at the difficult par three 17th but splashes out to a couple of feet and should save par.
Yang fist-pumps and you don't need me to explain why. A par means he and Tiger remain tied at -6.
Tiger's putter is just stone cold. He misses another fine birdie chance and has to tap in for a par.
Chance for a two-shot swing here as Yang's bunker shot at 13 comes up about nine feet short.
Lots of respected golf journalists on Twitter are coming out with stuff about never having heard of YE Yang. Pretty lousy really. The top guys on the betting forums know plenty about the Korean.
Yang hits a poor tee-shot at 13 and Tiger takes the chance to pounce with a wonderful strike to within about 10 feet.
What happened to Open champ Stewart Cink today? Well, the simple answer is he shot 81! Wonder if he'll fill us in on the details on Twitter?
McIlroy misses a tricky birdie attempt at 16 and remains -3. Meanwhile, Westwood makes a great up and down at 18 to set the clubhous target at -3.
Tiger two-putts again and it's a bogey five. Yang tidies up and the pair are tied at -6 again, three clear of the pack.
Yang hits a super long-distance putt and will tap in for par.
Tiger's chip from behind the 12th green is too heavy and now bogey is staring him in the face.
Els drives the 14th and has a decent chance at eagle but fails to put enough on his putt. He taps in for a four and is now up to -3.
Kjeldsen doubles the 13th and drops back to evens. He's started his back nine with four straight fives.
Yang finds the green but he's miles away from the flag and in three-putt range.
Surprise, surprise, Tiger gets an excellent lie despite his wayward drive. His second comes out hot though and flies the green. He'll face a tough time making par now.
Tiger hits his tee-shot at 12 way left as he double crosses his fade. He's done that a couple of times in the last few days. Yang finds the fairway. Up ahead at the green, Stenson pars to stay at -3.
Stenson pushes his birdie putt wide - and a bit long too. A great chance wasted.
Stenson is making a move now. A mighty second to the fiendishly difficult par four 12th leaves him around seven feet away for birdie.
Another two-putt from Tiger but at least this time it's for birdie. He goes to -7, now one clear of Yang who can only par after a rather clumsy pitch.
McIlroy's breaking birdie putt at 15 stays wide. Disappointing. That would have left him just two off the pace.
Els (-2) has gone bogey-birdie-bogey-birdie from the 10th to the 13th.
McIlroy smashes two shots down the 15th and then blasts a bunker shot to about six or seven feet so he has another great chance for birdie.
Kjeldsen drops back to -2 after a bogey at 12.
Yang can't reach the par five 11th in two so will need a pitch and a putt for birdie. Woods carries his 3-wood onto the front edge so will have a shot at eagle.
Stenson and Harrington both birdie the 11th to move to -3 and -2 respectively.
Yang's tee-shot at 11 just hangs onto the left edge of the fairway. Tiger picks his tee up straight away after launching his ball long and straight.
Thumping second by Stenson (-2) at the par five 11th and he has about 20 feet for eagle.
Tiger plays for too much break and his birdie putt stays left. It's a par and he just can't shake Yang off.
Yang's birdie putt looks to be heading in but just runs out of steam. Another half a revolution of the ball and it would have dropped. He stays at -6.
Els hits back with a birdie at 11 and is now at -2, four behind.
McIlroy almost drives the short par four 14th and almost holes his eagle putt. However, a tap-in birdie takes him to -3, just three back.
Yang finds the green at 10 but his approach suck back about 25 feet away.
Famed golf writer Ron Sirak tweets: "Second-worst scenario for a writer? Woods shoots 75 and wins. Worst scenario? Yang shoots 74 and wins. Can't anyone here play this game?"
Tiger cashes in on his rebound off the trees with a towering iron to about eight feet at the 10th. A decent birdie chance at last.
The official PGA Twitterer reports: "Woods' (tee-shot at 10) bounces off tree into short grass."
Stenson shows his frustration as he bogeys 10 to fall back to -2.
Westwood can't birdie the par five 15th and stays three behind.
Yang gets a huge break as his tee-shot at 10 kicks out of the bunkers and into the fairway. Tiger sprays one towards the trees.
McIlroy races his birdie putt at 13 well past but bravely holes the return effort to stay at -2. "Good boy", as Sam Torrance might say.
Yang matches Tiger's par at nine and the two men head off into the back nine of the decade's final major tied for the lead and three clear of the field.
It's like watching a replay. Tiger hits an approach to outside realistic birdie range, does indeed fail to hole his birdie and taps in for par. This cautious approach is working to some extent as all the field are going backwards - except for Yang.
The best rounds so far today belong to Dustin Johnson and John Merrick, the two American firing two-under 70s to finish at level par.
Kjeldsen misses a short putt at 10 and suddenly Woods and Yang are three clear of the field.
It's not happened for Alvaro Quiros today. He's got eight pars and two bogeys on his card so far and is back at evens.
Els bogeys the 10th and is back to -1.
Can Lee Westwood post a score and see if it stands up? He's about to birdie the 14th and that will take him to -3.
Yang and Woods both split the fairway at nine.
McIlroy drops a shot at the very difficult long par four 12th.
Yang hits a poor birdie putt but he's now level with Tiger at -6. Soren Kjeldsen is now just two off the pace while Rory McIlroy is only three back.
Tiger bogeys. He's now +2 for the day and the lead is at -6. Hope for the rest of the chasing pack. Yang now has a putt to take the lead!
Tiger hits a rather fat bunker shot and is really struggling for par.
Lots of Twitterers upset by Harrington's eight including Stephen Fry: "Oh, Harrington. What a nightmare hole. 8 shots on a par 3. Quint bogey."
Tiger finds the greenside bunker at eight. Yang hits a superb tee-shot and could now walk off this hole in the lead as he's just six feet away and below the hole.
Glover drops back to -3 after a second successive bogey, this time at nine.
Harrington takes an eight - just as he did at Firestone - and is suddenly catapulted back to one-under - six off the pace.
Yang pars the fifth so stays one back. Is it now Woods v Yang?
It's Firestone all over again. Harrington chips into the water and is heading for a massive number. He's taken six shots already on the par three and is still in thick rough.
Tiger's birdie putt just lacks enough pace and it's a par five. McIlroy has a golden opportunity for birdie at the 11th but misses from around five feet and stays at -3.
Yang plays a good recovery from the bank to the right of the seventh green and now has an outside birdie chance.
Harrington's chances take a huge nosedive. He finds water off the tee and then, from the dropzone, pulls his shot a long way left. A treble bogey could easily be on the cards.
Tiger just can't give himself any decent looks at birdie. His wedge to the seventh spins back to the lower tier and again a two-putt par looks by far the most likely outcome.
Ross Fisher was heading towards another top five finish in a major earlier but he's just gone bogey, double bogey, par, bogey to slip to +2.
Stenson, making sure to avoid water, pulls his tee-shot into thick rough left of the eighth green. Glover just made bogey from a similar position.
Els slips back to -2 with a bogey at the eighth.
Tiger chooses to lay up at seven - the safe play with water to the left of the green but his mindset remains cautious. Yang has a blast but fans it a long way right into the crowd.
Glover bogeys eight and is three off the pace now. As is Stenson who climbs to -4 after a birdie at the seventh. Tiger's tee-shot at the same hole finds the fairway so you'd fancy him to make a birdie from there.
Harrington's uphill 25 foot birdie try at seven is bang on line but just comes up short. He's just two-under for the par fives this week.
Yang produces a great recovery from the trees at six but his birdie putt lacks conviction so it's a par which keeps him one behind Tiger.
Very loose shot by Glover at the eighth. Harrington is also in trouble at seven although it's a par five so chipping back to the fairway isn't too damaging.
Three birdies in the last four holes have taken Soren Kjeldsen to -4 and just three back.
Tiger's second to six is just too long and catches the fringe rather than spin back towards the hole.
Aussie Brendan Jones is also in the hunt at -3 following an outward nine of 35. So did he have any form. Yes! He was runner-up in the Japan Tour's Sun Chlorella Classic on his last start.
Just a quick note about Yang's form coming into this event. It was actually very good. He was 19th at Firestone last week after shooting 69-66 on the weekend and prior to that the Korean was fifth in the Buick Open and eighth in the Canadian Open.
Tiger leads again. He holes out for par, Yang misses and Harrington's birdie putt stays above ground.
Ernie birdies the seventh and is back to -3 and just four back. Maybe I was writing him off too soon.
Nice bunker shot by Tiger but he's left with a five-footer and he's just missed one of those. Yang plays a good recovery but faces around seven feet for par.
Five straight pars so far for Harrington but he has a decent birdie chance coming up at six.
Woods, looking a little rattled, finds the bunker with his approach to the fourth. Yang hits a loose one to the right so it's getting interesting!
Wonderful approach by McIlroy to the ninth. In goes the birdie putt and he's now -3 and in a tie for fifth. A fantastic recovery since he started his round with a double bogey.
Wow. Glover's par putt at six does a 360 degree about turn and it's a bogey five. He's now two back.
Yang, full of confidence now, finds the fairway at the fifth. Tiger does too and gives his club a little twirl.
Yang's birdie attempt at the fourth just fails but Tiger three-putts and suddenly it's a tie at the top. Meanwhile, Harrington and Glover are now just a shot back.
Els misses a par putt at six and holds his arms out in frustration. It drops him six off the pace and his victory hopes are surely over.
Glover adds a birdie at five and he's now two back alongside Harrington. Great stuff from the US Open champ.
A cheeky tweet from Geoff Ogilvy. "I am thinking we should all pool together and buy the PGA a lawn mower for christmas." Quality!
Excellent up and down from Harrington at the fourth and he remains at six-under. But Yang makes a move. He calmly strokes in his birdie putt at the third and he's now just one behind.
Tiger makes a safe par at three.
Super wedge by Yang to the third. It spins back to around seven feet away and he has a good chance to cut Tiger's lead to a single shot.
Woods not in birdie range at the third. He shouts "bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite, bite" and probably a few more as his approach lands long. It does bite but he's around 30 feet away.
Back at four, Harrington loses his tee-shot right and finds sand. At least he has plenty of green to play with.
Frustration for McIlroy as he only pars the easy(ish) seventh.
No birdie for Harrington at the par five third so he stays two back.
Woods finds sand with his tee-shot at the long par five third hole.
Tiger misses his birdie putt at two. He could easily be two-under for the round already but, if he keeps playing the way he is from tee-to-green, the putts will soon start to drop.
Glover birdies the third and he's now at -5, three shots back.
McIlroy has another look at birdie at the sixth but has to settle for a two-putt par. However, he's now heading towards the easiest hole on the course - the par five seventh.
Two good approaches by Woods and Yang to the second. Birdie chances from around 15 feet.
Westwood birdies the seventh and joins the McIlroy group on -2.
Harrington's birdie attempt at the second just drifts by.
Rory racing now. A third successive birdie takes him to two-under. Great stuff from the young Irishman and shows his character after that double bogey start.
Big surprise. Tiger pulls his birdie putt left.
Yang's birdie attempt shaves the hole but runs three feet by.
McIlroy wipes out that double bogey with a second successive birdie - the latest after a huge putt at the fourth. He's now -1 again.
Fabulous approach by Tiger. His ball lands 15 feet away and, if under instruction, darts left towards the hole. He'll have around six feet for birdie.
Yang finds the green with a nice approach.
Playing partner Yang finds the fairway while up at the green Harrington two-putts for par. Yang is 37 and you'd guess that he might have racked up a massive number of wins in Asia. However, before this year he'd only won eight tournaments as a pro - four in Japan, two in his native Korea, and two on the Asian Tour, one of which was the HSBC - a co-sanctioned event with the European Tour when he famously (well, lots of people seem to have forgotten) beat Tiger down the stretch. He took his tally to nine by winning on the US Tour earlier this season so it's been more a case of quality not quantity.
Pretty rubbish predicition as Tiger finds the semi-rough and should have a simple second.
Here goes Tiger. Before he hits, I'll quickly say that he often bogeys the first hole in any round of a major.
Jimbo is back on. "Come On Tim Clark! You Can Do it!!"
Michael Allen is this week's Tom Watson and although he's not quite matching his fellow senior's Turnberry heroics, he's still putting together a superb tournament. The 50-year-old, who won the Senior PGA Championship recently, has birdied three, seven and eight and is now at -1 and tied 13th.
A third under par round, this time by Jeff Overton, but again it's only a 71.
Harrington hits his opening tee-shot and finds the first cut. No problem there though so he should be able to attack the flag.
Soren Hansen posts the second under par round of the day but again it's only a 71. Is there a low number out there today?
McIlroy gets a shot back with a birdie at the third. He's now level par.
Ernie Els holes a testy par putt at the first to stay at -3. He's missed so many putts of that range of late it could be a good sign that he's kicked off by making one.
John Merrick has the best round of the day going and it could have got even better at 12 where he leaves a birdie putt hanging on the lip. However, he's still -3 for the day and -1 for the tournament.
Vijay holes a monster putt on the sixth to get to two-under.
Tim Clark birdies the third to get to -2. Good news for Jimbo (see 1829). Lee Westwood remains on the same score after an excellent par save at the fourth.
Some very dark clouds circling as Tiger practices his chipping.
Ross Fisher starts with a par. He's hit more greens in regulation than anyone else this week, fuelling the belief that from tee to green he's pretty much without peer at the moment.
Harrington, chomping a banana, leaves the practice ground. I agree with those who think he will put in a brave challenge today. I've got a nice bet on Tiger winning this at 7/1 (struck before Firestone when Stan James were offering those odds about him winning both last week and this). However, I've backed harrington at 6.6 on Betfair as insurance.
Hugely disappointing start for Rory McIlroy and his backers (me amongst them). A double bogey at the first and a missed birdie putt at two.
Massive roars for Minnesota native Tom Lehman as he finishes with a curling 10 footer for par.
Westwood does indeed make birdie and he's now at -2.
Lovely wedge by Westwood to the par five third and that should be a birdie. Zach Johnson birdies the fifth and he's up to one-under.
While the leaders are warming up on the practice range, let's check out Sky Bet's latest odds: They go 4/11 Tiger, 9/2 Harrington, 18/1 Yang, 25/1 Stenson, 40/1 Glover, 66/1 Els, 80/1 Fisher, 100/1 Kjeldsen, 150/1 Quiros, Westwood, Kaymer.
Still just a single under par round registered today - Michael Sim's 71.
Daniel writes: "Hey I'm a huge Harrington fan i predict playoff between him and Woods and Pod to win. Also can you tell me his tee-off time." Padraig goes out at 1936 Irish time. Woods is out at 1945.
Umbrellas coming back down now.
Plenty of Harrington backers are e-mailing in but Big Billy out in the Caspian sea off Azerbaijan says: "Tiger to win by 6 shots, no problem."
So far, 15 players have finished their rounds and only one has broken par - Michael Sim with a one-under 71.
The rain is coming down as Tiger walks to the practice range.
Lee Westwood starts with a par. Up at three, Vijay's putter lets him down and a bogey sends him back down to -1.
Padraig expresses surprise when told by Tim Barter that he's won all three of his majors from behind. Strange that. You would think he knew and would be using it as way of making him believe he could overtake Woods today.
Overnight leader Edoardo Molinari had to settle for second place in the European Challenge Tour's Trophée du Golf de Genève earlier today despite shooting a final round 68. His brother Francesco moved into the top 20 yesterday after a rare round in the 60s but he's started with a bogey today.
Luke Alexander in Scotland writes: "My feeling is that if Tiger hits the fairways off the tees as he did in the first and second rounds he will walk away with it. His approach play and putting is simply too good. If he misses them, then it could be open for Padraig or anyone else with a hot putter." Would very much agree with those words.
Fast start from big-hitting Dustin Johnson - a winner at Pebble Beach earlier this year. He's birdied three, five and six and is now one-under overall.
Birdie-birdie start for Vijay and he's now two-under.
Nice Twitter post from AP chief golf writes Doug Ferguson: "First time Phil has shot 300 at a major in 11 years. Dates to Birkdale in 1998. He is at Hazeltine. His mind is not."
Paddy Murphy in Fulham writes: "I have a feeling that Martin Kaymer could win this. I've just backed him with £100 at 450/1. I think I could be quids in later on." Wow, you're optimistic Paddy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but no-one in the history of golf has come from six behind Tiger Woods to win.
'Jimbo' Norwood writes: "What do you think of Tim Clark's chances of finishing in the top 4?" Well, he's 17th on the US Tour's final round scoring stats which is encouraging so you never know. By the way, who is No.1 for final round scoring? You guessed it... Tiger Woods!
Poults adds a birdie at seven and is back to level par for the tournament.
Vijay Singh finally takes advantage of a great approach by making birdie at the first to get to one-under.
Sean Kelliher is backing Padraig: "I think Padraig Harrington will tame the Tiger today! He deserves to be on the winning side of Tiger. A great golfer and will be rewarded today :)."
Damien Hogan writes: "Hi Dave, just wondering what your thoughts are on Harrington being out before Woods. The lads on tv last night seemed to think that Harrington would have preferred to be out with him. I think he might be at an advantage in the group in front if he can make a good steady start, he can set the target and make Tiger chase." You can take both viewpoints. I actually think Padraig would have preferred to have played with Tiger.
Mickelson completes his tournament by tapping in for bogey at 18. But it's his 300th stroke and 76th of the day and that leaves him at +12. Playing partner Ishikawa signs for a level par 72 so well done to those backers who backed the new Japanese sensation at 2/1 to win their two-ball.
Zach Johnson starts with a birdie to get to level par.
Poulter holes a putt, something he hasn't done enough of, to get to -1 for the day and +1 overall.
You can e-mail me with all your thoughts and opinions to dave.tindall@bskyb.com.
Oliver Wilson adds a birdie at the third with a nice putt and he's now level par too.
Change in the commentary seat now as I hand over to Dave Tindall for the rest of the evening.
Our first man to reach even par on the course is John Merrick as he makes a second straight birdie on the fifth.
Oliver Wilson joins the party with a birdie on the second as he too moves up to +1 for the tournament. Vijay Singh's getting no younger, and he's getting a neck massage to loosen up before his final round.
Charl Schwartzel birdies the first to go +1, alongside John Merrick after he birdies four, and these two are now the highest-placed players out on the course.
O'Hair is the first man to return to the clubhouse today, and he has signed for a 73, the same as Goydos and Henry who follow him home.
Eventful four holes for Luke Donald, a bogey followed by two birdies and then a bogey mean he stays level for the round after eight holes. Furyk has a birdie at seven to go to +4.
Poulter pars the first two holes, Leonard is two under for his round now and +3 overall, and Hunter Mahan makes a four on the opening hole.
Mickelson's back to +7, and Kevin Na is now +2 after picking up a shot at the second, not long now before the big guns start emerging for their final rounds..
At last! A birdie for Lehman, but he's still +8. Furyk and Donald both level through five, while Boo Weekley pars the first.
Lee Westwood looks cool as he arrives in his shades at Hazeltine looking to finally nail that major win after a few near misses, he's seven shots of fthe lead though. Jimenez tees off and pars the first.
Mickelson's putting woes continue at 11, as he guns a five-footer even further past the hole, and he bogeys to drop back to +8.
Miguel Angel Jimenez is smoking one of his fat cigars as he warms up for his round. On the course Milkha Singh has a birdie while Jim Furyk, Fred Couples and Justin Leonard are all level through three holes.
Mickelson double bogeyed the sixth, but birdied the ninth to turn in 35, one-under. Cabrera birdies the sixth to go +5, Luke Donald kicks off with two birdies. Tom Lehman has gone bogey-double bogey-bogey-bogey in his last four holes.
Ian Poulter has just arrived the the course, he tees off at 4.54 UK time - he's come dressed in pink today - understated as ever!
Soren Hansen birdies the first to go to +5, Jeev Milkha Singh and Jeff Overton both make a four, as does Rich Beem.
Oh dear, more misery for Forysth, after a par at four, another bogey at five and he's +6, making him +13 for the tournament and second-to-last ahead of O'Hair.
Masters champion Angel Cabrera cards two pars while his partner Kenny Perry bogeys then birdies as both stay level par to open their final rounds, Tom Lehman pars the first.
Japan's Ryo Ishikawa is another bad starter, with three bogeys in his first five holes. Forsyth is having a nightmare! With the Scot making another double bogey on the third and is now +5 on the day after three holes!
A fourth birdie of the day for JJ Henry and he's -3 for the day. Hello to Martin Derbyshire in sunny Cyprus - he could have more to look forward to later after backing Stenson e.w at 100-1!
Rory Sabbatini and Geoff Ogilvy get under way and par the first, while Mickelson has settled down after his two at the first with two pars - and Lefty's got a big fan in emailer Adam Burkutally who is hoping for a top-five finish to get him some money back! Anyone else losing/winning some cash on the golf?
Thomas Levet starts with three straight pars and stays at +7, while Scotsman Alastair Forsyth has started with a duoble bogey and a bogey.
A birdie at the fourth gets Wood back to level par for the round, while JJ Henry is two under through six holes with three birdies and one bogey - eventful round so far.
Eagle start from Lefty! If only Phil Mickelson was in contention with the way he has started... Mickelson has holed his second shot on the par-four first for an eagle two start and moves up to +6.
England's Chris Wood starts with a bogey and slips to +9, while Bob Estes also bogeys and Greg Bisconti takes six as they both start poorly.
O'Hair is steaming around the course, at the sixth already, but is not picking up any shots as he remains level par for the day. Goydos and Henry both birdie the second to move to +9 and +8 respectively.
O'Hair gets right back on track with a birdie three at the second, while Goydos and Henry both start with a solid par four as the final day starts to crank into gear.
Bad start from O'Hair, playing by himself, as he bogeys the par-four first hole and drops to +14 for the tournament and remain dead last of the field.
Don't forget, if yuo're not near a TV, you can watch live coverage of the final round via your PC. Coverage will start from 4pm, simply paste this link into your address bar - http://www.skysports.com/golf/video/uspga ...I'll give you another reminder nearer 4pm.
Lone ranger Sean O'Hair is first man out, on his own, at 7.36, that's 13.36 in the UK, before JJ Henry and Paul Goydos tee-off nine minutes later.
