Dustin darn near drives the green with an iron... 337 yards. I remember him doing this at the 2010 U.S. Open (not the Sunday round I think). But the sand wanted the ball. But Jordan is a good sport and opens the door for his friends.

Leaders teed off at 3pm local, and it's now 6:42 and they're on #16. Yeah, I'd be happy with that pace.

Remember when Fox had NHL games and they made the puck flash? Can they do that with a golf ball to make it stand out? There have been a few shots today in which I didn't know where the ball is.

Imagine a 5-way playoff tomorrow? Haha would be a fitting end to a weird week.

I assume you'd be rooting for Spieth in that playoff at -3 ;-)

Oosthuizen could really use that birdie now; it could be enough to tie for the lead.

I think it has more to do with the setup on a links style course, and the sunny weather.  We've seen this at the British Open plenty over the years.  The camera work has been shoddy, though.

Very good, DJ. Make that putt, and you'll be one shot behind (if Spieth is human). See you at Augusta, Cameron Smith.

Smith!! That would be a kick-in birdie if they called it a par-4. As it stands, a kick-in eagle.

    • Day 9. Worked on setup and backswing at the gym. Getting pretty frustrated with my hip. May try full swings tomorrow. 
    • Shot of the Week for me was definitely this drive that set up my second birdie of the back 9 yesterday. It’s a longer par 4 but usually the prevailing wind is with you (the slightly longer hole to the right is a par 5 that usually plays into the wind). I don’t usually hit driver on this hole and honestly couldn’t think of the last time I did when I was standing on the tee. Yesterday, the wind was in the opposite direction so I had to hit into a headwind. I decided I’d need the extra length with driver on the tee and absolutely piped it. It was perfectly launched with low spin that just penetrated through the wind. Technically the approach shot was worth more in SG (I hit it inside 4’), but this drive set up the entire hole.

    • Rory and Bryson are two of my favorites for some time.  This was a great watch.  Poor Rory looked gutted and (heat?) exhausted at the end there.  Bryson play US Open golf - Captain Scramble.  Avoid the blowups and accidentally find a birdie on occasion and it goes far,  
    • 2nd shot into a short par 5. I had ~185 left but was just off the fairway to the right with some low tree limbs in front of me. Aimed at the water and hit a punch slice 4 iron that started low under the trees, rose higher as it kept going, cut towards the middle of the green, carried the water and rolled to ~25 feet for an eagle putt. Lipped out the eagle putt but never going to complain about tap in birdies.  It was one of those shots that I've done before and was a perfect yardage gap. I have a punch 4 iron swing that I know goes right at 185, and I can cut the ball much easier than I can draw it, so it was actually a much easier shot for me than it appears to be in the picture. I would have been fine if it would have over cut too, rough isn't very penal here so it would have been an easy chip from short right.  Although to be fair I didn't realize/remember that the water cut in as far into the fairway as it did, I thought it stopped right around the left edge of the green.
