Rickie can still win this thing. Just birdied, 2 back. Lots of golf left.

[oregongolfguy]

what does everybody think.  Is it a 3 horse race right now???  Matsuyama is trying to charge but he is 5 back.  Fleetwood seems to be going the wrong way.  There are some good guys at -7, but they are gonna have to terrorize the back nine and hope the leaders come back a bit.

Lot of assumptions there. Rickie works pretty hard on his game from what I've seen.

Maybe they're cutting it a little and the wind is making it curve left five yards.

No watching Spieth earlier when it was really windy and definitely a draw pattern on shot tracker.  Guess these guys hit so high takes some on the side spin off that it's so controllable in cross wind

Tournament hasn't even started yet. That's what I think.

Of course it has.

If it hasn't started yet is Rory, Jordan, or DJ still in it?

I think you know what I am saying. I understand you disagree. But he asked what does everyone "think." That's what I think.

JT looks to have hurt or dinged his right wrist.  Looked like he hung it low after that 2nd shot from the long stuff.

I remember him doing that a few times yesterday too. Maybe he's tweaked it again.

Jordan still has a chance, but it involves some VERY high scores and maybe a few retroactive DQs.  Did everyone sign a correct scorecard?

 

Rickie's chip on #8 was nice.  Would be nicer if it went a wee bit further, but better than the so many we've seen today from the field that went way way way past.

I'm pulling for a Monday overtime.  I'm off, so it would be nice to watch some more golf.

Eventually Harman will have to make a follow through that goes higher than his waist. But apparently not yet. 

[Shindig]

What happens if the two amateurs who made the cut tie?  Do they have a playoff for low amateur or can they both win it?

I dont think so. That lil guy is in complete control  of his game and best yet hes best putter out there left.Unless Koepka gets a hot putter I dont see anyone that will threaten. Pretty much 2 horse race.

[Shindig]

Matsuyama climbing back.  -10 through 12.

And Koepka with a long birdie to take sole possession.

There can only be one.

They're neck and neck! Champ has a couple holes left to break the tie. On the phone app, Champ just hit a nice little 371yd drive on the 17th. He has 150yds left on the 513yd par 4.

Rickie is actually a few spots higher than Harman.

I, for one, welcome our new immortal golf overlord.  

Thomas is falling apart today.

Which, to me, puts that 63 in its proper perspective. Which is, it was the lowest round of a low-scoring day. Dude sets an Open record with that score & he may not even finish top 10.
