I hope Phil pulls through. I can see BK doing his thing though, too. Additionally, someone could go out there and post a number before the leaders and give them something to stare at down the stretch. Should be a good finish tomorrow.

Koepka was atrocious  putting. Wide open tomorrow. -1 or 2 could  win.

As could -3 or -4 or -5 or -6 or -7 or -8 or -9 or -10. What difference does it make? The field hasn't been brought into it due to Koepka's "atrocious"putting.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

He should get a lengthy suspension. Wind  is down and  its going to be  a birdie  fest  on an easy  course.

I agree with the first part.

Do you have to be drunk to shout "Get in the hole!"?  Or just kinda stupid?

That happens so frequently at so many tournaments that I'm beginning to think the PGA pays a few of them guys to travel around and yell that out...

Speith was missing a lot of putts today, expecting them to naturally fall into the hole. Is it me or does he seem a bit _______ when he misses. Fill in the blank if you would like.

Yeah he seemed a little bit pissed. 
 

Which leads me to this question? Aside from the top-four, who from a little further back could sneak in and post a number and steal this PGA?

My two picks: Watch Bryson... if he keeps it out of the shit. Or Jordan if he can putt.

It’ll be a long day tomorrow for Phil. To bad about those dropped shots coming in.

Absolutely, but I think 1 tournament is enough. Wallace’s caddy cold shouldered him on the 18th. I would have called Van Rooyen out then and there if I was caddying.

Looks  like they caved to the  players  complaints about  playing a challenging  course and turned  it  into putt putt.

Same dumb schtick since joining.

There has been worse scores in majors, but leading with -7 after three days does not indicate putt-putt.

I like tournaments with eagles, birdies and bogies, and a winning score around -10 is a nice score. -20 is too much and even par too tough. Never know with the wind on a course like this of course, which can move the scores in both directions.

As of this writing, there are 12 guys under par on a windy, championship level course, and the leading score is just -7. Yeah, sounds like “putt putt.” 🤦‍♂️

The last 4 holes are the four hardest on the course. One round of -3 is the best so far. Hardly low scoring

I’ve just sat down to watch the last round and the course looks a fair bit drier and firmer than the early rounds. 
I had forgotten how interesting a track the Ocean course is. Played it on Toptracer at the range yesterday. I think the tee shots would be very intimidating in real life.

For anyone else experiencing this, I was able to load a stream via the CBS Sports app on my phone.  Hopefully that lasts for the tournament today :-)

    • Yea that’s a positional shot. Otherwise it’s considered an approach shot and you would have missed the pin short by 90’.
    • Question for the group regarding positional shots.  I had one in my last round where I had 286yds remaining into a long par 5. I don't have a club that can reach that, but I still was able to hit 3 wood and advanced it 260yds leaving myself just under 30yds to the pin.  Is that considered a positional shot? I wasn't "going for it" because I had no chance of reaching it, but I wasn't necessarily trying to leave myself a certain yardage or get back in play or anything. (Btw I then hit the pitch shot to 3 feet and holed it for birdie on a 575yd par 5 and gained 1.19 strokes compared to scratch and 0.79 vs a Tour Player on that hole alone)     Also something else I find surprising is that for my tee shot on that hole, which was actually with a 3 wood due to where water pinches in, went 286yds (sloped fairway got me some extra roll beyond my normal 260 range) and just trickled about a foot or so into the left rough and per strokes gained I lost 0.02 strokes on that compared to scratch. I get that strokes gained doesn't distinguish how far in the rough it goes, but I was still a bit surprised that hitting it 286 in the rough is considered worse than average off the tee for a scratch player.  I was curious so I moved that tee shot into the fairway, then it says I gained 0.10 strokes compared to scratch. The 3 footer I made for birdie on the same hole gained 0.14 strokes compared to scratch. Moving it around a bit more, 290yd tee shot in the fairway is 0.10 strokes gained but 294yds is 0.21 strokes gained? I don't get how an extra 1% or 12 feet more on a 290yd drive makes 0.11 difference in strokes gained. I thought I understood strokes gained pretty well but that seems a bit odd to me that a 286-290yd drive in the fairway isn't as "above average" for a scratch player as holing a 3 footer is.

    • I don't remember a ton of favorite putts (maybe I need to make more) but here's two that I do remember.  18th at Kyber Run  We had been playing a 4v4 Scramble for $25 a guy and it had been absolutely pouring the entire day. Talking like 4+ hours of non-stop rain, but we had this money match planned for a while and the course was happy to take our greens fees. The foursome we were playing against was the group in front of us and they just finished and were watching us come up 18 from under a pavilion out of the rain. We thought we had a 1 stroke lead going into 18, but they had birdied 17 to tie things up. They parred 18. So they knew we were tied as we played 18. We had about a 35 footer straight up the hill for birdie and by this point water is starting to pool up on the green. I'm the last person to putt in the group, step up and hit it about as twice as hard as I normally would from that distance, water is spraying up behind the ball as it's rolling, ended up being perfect speed and drops in for a birdie, giving us the win and not realizing why they were so shocked about the putt until we realized that it was for the win.   12th at Talamore We had been playing 2v2 best ball and our opponents hadn't been playing great as we had a 3up lead through 8 mainly due to their mistakes rather than our great play. I went on a bit of a heater, holing a 10 footer on 9 for par to win the hole, birdied 10 after hitting a wedge to 12 feet and pouring that in, birdied the par 5 11th after hitting my 3rd shot to 4 feet to put us 6up with 7 to go. Par 4 12th, pin is front left and I am on the green back right after hitting a great punch slice recovery shot from the right trees. I had 50 feet left for birdie and was just trying to lag it close, it ended up going in the hole and I walked it in for my 3rd straight birdie and ended the match right there as my two opponents just shook their heads and my teammate was cracking up with laughter.
    • Why you young whipper-snapper you!😋 To OP, I have no routine, I eye-ball up to half wedge (40-60 yards) most days. Only time I am somewhat deliberate in checking is distances to clear hazards.
