Carnoustie 2018: Ingredients In Place To Have Finish For The Ages

I present five scenarios for today's potentially epic final day at Carnoustie. Keep an Open mind.

Not surprisingly Jordan gets nearly half your votes, but interesting to see how much respect the voters have for Xander Schauffele and Tiger Woods. 

In The Telegraph, James Corrigan's game story leads with Woods over the three co-leaders. Same with Ewan Murray at The Guardian, noting that Saturday will be a moving day we never forget. 

Speaking of Tiger, he captivated Carnoustie Saturday and no matter what happens, many fans here went home very happy getting to enjoy some Tiger roars as he topped a major leaderboard for the first time in years. Dan Kilbridge on Tiger's strong 66 that leaves him four back of Jordan Spieth.

Ian O'Connor gives us all permission to root for Tiger, even sportswriters who are not supposed to. I certainly didn't fight the goosebumps yesterday seeing the reaction and thrills he provided in playing like the 14-time major winner most remember.

Jordan's haircut is all the buzz.

A win by Spieth would quickly erase what has been a frustrating year, Brian Wacker writes in setting up the final round.

Rory McIlroy, four back, intends to attack Sunday, writes Eamon Lynch.

Kevin Chappell's resurgence can be attributed to a change in teachers, now with Sean Foley who is helping him take pressure off his back, writes The Forecaddie.

Most spectators will arrive here by train and leave, after a long line, by train. Christopher Clarey for the New York Times on the history of Open Championships and trains (thanks reader John).
