Mark Calcavecchia (FSY) wound up with a quadruple-bogey 9 on the par-5 fifth hole when he hit into a gorse bush, played a provisional for a lost ball, picked up his provision shot when he heard the ball was found, then learned that the ball wasn't his. That explains his 77, which sent the 50-year-old tumbling down the leaderboard.Woods also hit into the gorse for a bogey on the fifth. On the next hole, he hit a low shot to the front of the green for a birdie chance, but the wind blew it some 20 yards back into the fairway before he got there.
Moments like those might be enough to give Westwood hope.
Johnson had a three-shot lead going into the final round of the U.S. Open and shot 82. The largest comeback in British Open history is 10 shots by Paul Lawrie (FSY) at Carnoustie, but that required a debacle by Jean Van de Velde (FSY) on the last hole.
"Strange things have been happening this week," Westwood said. "It can be done — we know that. It depends on the weather. If it's a miserable, windy day, anything can happen. But Louis and Paul look like they are playing well."
