As we head into the final round, all eyes will be on Burns and Fox as they battle for the top prize. But don't count out the rest of the field just yet - with a major championship on the line, anything can happen. We'll be watching to see if Burns can hold onto his lead, and if Fox or anyone else can mount a comeback.
