Advantage McIlroy after those drives on the 16th hole, but this is a three-hole play-off so we will have a few twists and turns.

A classy drive from McIlroy… not such a good response for Spaun as he puts his drive into the rough. He is a long way behind McIlroy on the fairway.

Rory McIlory ahead of the play-off: “It would mean an awful lot to win. There’s not many multiple Players champions. Scottie [Scheffler] has won the last two years… and I’ve spoken a lot about how much I admire Scottie – it would be nice to get two like him, and two like Tiger [Woods]. “
