WOW.... that's scary.    I'm glad he's on the road to a recovery.

Holy s***. What a nightmare! Sounds like he's lucky to be alive. I went to UW-madison, and was in the hospital there for some tests at one point. That place is one of the top university hospitals in the country, so I'm sure he got the best care possible.

Funny thread is it a Koepka or Stricker thread? If it’s about the shot off #11 par 3 we’ll it looks like it landed down by shipwreck beach, lanai but don’t think he hit it 12 miles.

Cam Smith is absolutely destroying the course this week, -26 through 3 rounds! Saturday was certainly moving day with JT leading the way, shooting the new course record, 61. Hopefully Sunday keeps it exciting! Who said having a field go lights out on a tough course was not fun to watch?

Edit - I believe Ernie Els holds the PGA Tour’s lowest 72 hole score to par of -31 at this tournament. If Cam keeps steady, he definitely has a chance!

You gotta believe that Els' record will fall.  BTW, unless I mistaken, it looked to me that the Berger/Cantlay pairing was about 4 holes behind Im and Matsuyama.

Cam has a little Jon Rahm problem.

And so much for "moving day".  Thomas shoots a 61 on moving day and is 9 strokes off the lead.

I'm pretty sure he moved up about 20 places. That's a move.

You were going backwards if you didn't shoot 6 under yesterday.

Imagine teeing up on the first tee in the final round in the final group knowing that 65 won't guarantee a win.

OK, watching the replay now, I was just wrong

[Shorty]

I can't really see how Rahm won't win this.

#18 675 par 5

#17 549 par 4

 

Insane, as in these guys are insanely great players. No way could I reach either of these in regulation.  Not that I'm going to try even, just trying to imagine.

To be fair to physics, these are both downhill holes that often play into some wind. For these guys, the course is absolutely defenseless this week, soft greens and almost no wind.

I played there a few years ago, and I couldn't reach #18 in 6 shots. OK, fine, there was no wind that day either, but still.😅

It is very important that you do everything in your power to diminish the achievements of these players, especially on a course that plays easy for them.

Matt Jones played the final 36 in 23 under. If you placed your ball 10 feet from each hole in regulation he'd probably have you by 15 shots.

Great finish! These guys are good! Well except for Cam’s haircut.

[jmanbooyaa]

Probably more. 33 under it to easy for these guys. They are pro’s they are great. 33 under is still way too easy.
