Pro sinks 42 spots at Players Championship — after wild one-handed putt

 

[fan_since79]

Tom Hoge set the course record at The Players today with a 62. Ten birdies and eight pars.

He's tied for 8th place. After barely making the cut he's come roaring back, but is still six shots behind Scheffler.

[Blarg]

Scheffler is such a machine out on the course. He bogies 7 and then recovers that stroke on the next hole with a birdie. He has logged one bogey per round so far but also carded an Eagle today on the 2nd hole and six birdies.

The entire field is bunched up but Scheffler starts with a two shot lead and his playing partner has never won on the PGA tour. Someone is going to have to go really low to have a chance against Scheffler.

Scheffler is the new generation of Tiger. He just won his 6th PGA event in his last 25 starts.

To put that in perspective, Rory was the closest to that.  It took Rory 53 starts to win his 6th event.

And to top it off, at least for those of us who have seen the Netflix series of Full Swing, Scheffler is a great guy.  I am a big fan of his.

Did you mean his 6th win in his last 25 starts? Because he's played more than 25 PGA events.

Description of Jordan Spieth's day today at the 16th hole.

He looked like he was cruising along in a three way tie when he sliced a ball into the water, couldn't take distance since it never touched land and had to lay up because of the drop lie scoring a bogey.

Then he misses a short birdie putt on 17 and that mentally carries over to 18 where he 3 putted dropping him all the way from a playoff chance to tied for 3rd. 

His playing partner, Schenk, lost his focus and on the 18th tee hooked his ball into the base of a tree, then over hit a left handed inverted clubhead shot over the fairway into the rough. He then joined Speith missing the rise on the green and having his ball roll back to the collar for an 18 footer that he blasted through the hole and ended up with bogey to give Moore his first PGA win.

Congrats to Moore on his first victory. He held steady when it counted most. I hope this gets him into Augusta.

Was he the one that got that huge bounce off the rocks on 17? That incredible gift saved his bacon. 
 

Scheffler looks almost unbeatable.

Scottie Scheffler wins 3 of the final 4 holes to close out JT Poston.

Poston has to really feel like crap.  He had Scottie on the ropes and choked.

X man advances to the quarterfinals also @Angel Oracle.

Nice to see Jason Day playing well again.

I was surprised to learn that he was still alive.

He's been dealing with a back injury the last few years.

Nothing against Burns but I want a Rory v Scheffler matchup for the final. 

[Blarg]

So do I but Burns dropped his tee shot within inches of the hole for a birdie on 17 and Scheffler is looking a long put to stay square. 

[Blarg]

Scheffler missed his putt by a fraction but it might as well have been by yards, he drops 1 back with 1 to go. Best he can do now is force a playoff. 

[St1ck]

[Blarg]

Both had excellent tee shots so it's a chipping contest. Scheffler almost has to eagle because he is first up and the read off his chip will only help Burns.
