Still lots of golf to be played but Rory seems to have found something.

funny that this thread is relatively quiet - no Tiger - lack of interest?

No kidding, my post was the first in a week. LOL.

Horschel looks very confident this week, great streak of cuts made going here.  As for Rory he seems up and down, flashes of good but still has been missing right.

[Rick Martin]

Horschel should win this one - unless something happens to him between the ears during the final round.

Still can't believe the bounce-back after shooting 85 a couple of weeks ago. I know that was probably a fluke/freak score due to one really bad John-Daly type hole.

[Rick Martin]

Rory moves to 2nd place at -7, 3 back w/ an early birdie. Hoffman falling by the wayside (unexpectedly - thought he'd be the toughest contender that Horschel needs to worry about).

[Rick Martin]

Beautiful swing Horschel has  - worth emulating. Love the shortened, compact backswing.

[clarkeycats]

Laird is having a great round, a lot of low scores to put Horschel under pressure.

I'd be very surprised if McIlroy doesn't win this.

[Rick Martin]

Dogfight - anybody's win now - Furyk, Choi, McIlroy......and Horschel. Happy that this one is going to the final nine of Sunday........

Horschel should win this one - unless something happens to him between the ears during the final round.

I'd be more surprised if something didn't happen to him. Unexperienced players in that position can end badly. No way the same as Tiger in that position.

[KrazyTrain18]

Too bad to see Hoffman kinda fade out.

[Rick Martin]

Horschel has had a couple of times to mess up but salvaged up and downs - missing lots of greens, but still is in it. Maybe he can hold on.......

[Pablo68]

Triple bogey by the pony-tailed guy.............

Maybe his panties are riding up some.

[Zwick]

Final round 63, amazing.

This just shows again how deep the Tour is these days. Laird was playing like crap the whole season and looked like a world beater today. I think that's a good example why the all time PGA Tour win record should carry more weight than it does now.

[Rick Martin]

9 birdies - could take me an entire summer to get that number of birds......nice tourney for Rory .....will make next week interesting.........

[tuffluck]

IMO the most entertaining tournament so far this year on the PGA.
