Adam Scott drains one from another zip code.

Makes me think he should have gotten rid of the long putter a while ago. :)

And just as Adam Scott drains another long one, Reed looks like he's about to give up the lead.

Scott's doing AimPoint proud, haha.

I read an interview with Scott where he said that the year he changed to long putters he was actually number one strokes gained in putting.  But because they didn't have the stat available to them at that time he had just convinced himself he was a really bad putter and so needed to change.  I think he said that he wished he had known then what he knows now as it might have saved him some of the intervening hassles!

I play Bethpage Black about once a year so it is great to watch the pros play the course.  Some holes that are very difficult for amateurs don't translate as such to the pros.  I think 5 is a really difficult hole -when the wind was behind them on Friday they made it look relatively easy.  4 has so much trouble on it but the pros just bomb it over most of it and it's one of the easier holes for them.

15 is a beast that you can't appreciate by seeing it on television.  The rough around 15 and 16 is some of the thickest -i have seen a number of balls lost there.  Some pros don't seem to appreciate that job 1 on 18 is to avoid the bunkers off the tee -there's Very little benefit hitting driver there.

Final round should be good stuff.  Interesting that Reed draws the ball - it always seems to me like it favors a left to right player.

Ricky's not doing a good job of dispelling those arguments that he's overrated.

He's certainly not playing like one of the most elite golfers in the world.

Yes. Sorry to say it, but Reed is schooling him today.

Reed could make this interesting with this shot.

But he didn't.

Should be an easy two putt.

I know they were screaming before guys hit shots but that happens alot. Reed was asking for someones shadow to move away from his ball and I heard someone say "yes master" Reed just grinned and shook his head. Definately alot of rowdy folks there.

Reed played well, tons of tough holes on this monster but he prevailed, I thought he would to be honest.  Rickie has closed out on some tough courses before, the Players and Wells Fargo, but Reed's irons striking and putting held up.  I loved the interview at the end when he admitted his nerves kicked in and he fell back into some bad habits.  26 years old with 5 PGA wins.  Has won every year starting back to 2013.  I wouldn't be surprised if he end up with 7-10 wins before his career was over, he has a lot of game.

Awful behaviour from the fans,such a contrast to those in Denmark.

Patrick already has 5 wins at age 26. The 7-10 seems like a lock to me. I say he hit's 15 plus wins before he is eligible for the senior tour.

I don't like him but I respect the hell out of his game.

He's got no fear and seems to have nerves of steel.
