81 yards. Probably 5 yards from the rough with a cliff on the other side of the hole. 

It is.  The green is 20 feet wide at the pin and lightning fast.

[PattyD22]

Holy fuck.  X man is channeling his inner 20 handicapper on the 1st hole.  Leaves back to back shots in the fairway bunker.  Wow.  Just wow

[Blarg]

What the Schauffele was that? Three to get out of the fairway bunker on 1, he has screwed himself starting off. 

[Blarg]

Meanwhile mcilroy will be putting for eagle after another monster drive and near perfect fairway iron.

[PattyD22]

Schauffele with an absolute nightmare start.  He is a 36 foot, par saving putt on #2 from starting his round 3 over.  

He needs to get his head together or he’s going to get steamrollered today.
 

[gotbeer]

So is it just me.  Or are they just snubbing DJ?  Except for the 18th, I think they only showed him on the chip on 15, that was during a commercial.  They showed English, Scheffler and Schauffele plenty.

[gotbeer]

Wow Fowler.  On the last hole.

It's just you.

McIlroy (3) and Scheffler (1) paired up tomorrow with Clark (32) and Fowler (45) as the final pairing. You have to think the pressure is on the final pairing to keep pace with McIlroy and Scheffler. I think if any one of them goes 4 under they take the trophy. 

I just don't see anyone else setting a final round course record and taking the cup from those four. Johnson looks like really the only one with a shot if the leaders fall back but that is going to take at least 5 under.

If any of them go under Par they may take the trophy. I think the final round is going to be the typical us open final where the player who makes the fewest mistakes will win it. That said, rory just seems dialed in and focused right now. Clark and fowler have never seen this kind of pressure. Fowlers last hole may have been the first crack in the dam. It's going to come down to putting, and that is schefflers weak point. But it should be an exciting finish. 

[PattyD22]

I picked Scheffler at the beginning so I’m going to stick with him, and his lukewarm putter.

I will be rooting hard for Rickie though.  I was at San Juan Hills Golf Club yesterday and the entire clubhouse was going crazy for Fowler yesterday.  I’d love to see him break through and win, but Rory is lurking.

Clark made some strong comments last night about how they had to finish their round in nearly dark conditions. USGA starting todays play 90 minutes earlier to avoid sunset issues. 
 

I’d love to see Fowler win, but I’m also okay if Rory can pull it off, too.

was really hoping the two of them would be in the final group.

Fleetwood is on fire.  

Some low scores look to be made.  As long as the marine layer keeps the homers in the park.

So is Rahm.  Both guys taking advantage of the soft, morning conditions.

[gotbeer]

Lol.  Women.   Look I found a golf ball that is moving.  I'm going to pick it up.

She was just tidying up.

Tomorrow morning, the greenskeeper may find that the second hole has been plowed with a big A with how Mr. Gretzky has played it all week.

[Blarg]

Johnson can't get his putts to drop. He is already frustrated. Meanwhile McIlroy birdies 1 and is nailing his drives. 

[Blarg]

Clark had the worst lie I've seen a player hit out of the entire tourney. And he didn't get out cleanly so Rory calmly putting up pars will gain a stroke. Meanwhile X-Man has X-ed himself out of the tourney. 

[gotbeer]

And elsewhere in golf.  The Brewers becoming a minor league team with their promotions.

 

[Tank]

clark just hasn't let up at all. he's had some tough shots to recover from, and did so admirably.

rory hasn't been able to mount any kind of charge, and fowler and scheffler have both faded.

this would be a pretty amazing tournament to win for your second career tour victory.

[Blarg]

Both Scheffler and McIlroy have missed a half dozen birdie puts that just missed the hole. 

[Tank]

rory in the clubhouse at -9. clark just needs par on 18 to hoist the trophy.
