And so Xander’s saga begins.

A bogey to start the back 9 on a par 5 is absolutely sinful.

[Blarg]

Morikawa is being Morikawa. Steady par. But that isn't winning 3rd place today. 

[fan_since79]

Hovland could easily win this. Alone in first now.

Xander bouncing back.

[PattyD22]

Bryson with the absolute luckiest break I’ve ever seen, since the glory days of Tiger.

Magical trees I suppose.  I never get breaks like that.  Ever

[Blarg]

Bryson ties, Hovland falters. Xander has to birdie to win. 

[fan_since79]

omg 

Hovland disintegrates on the 18th green.

[PattyD22]

Thank you Xander.  Thank you for denying Bryson but more than anything, thank you for getting that monkey off your back.

Way too close.  Congrats 

[fan_since79]

Xander did it!!

Jim Nantz is okay.

J.T. comes over to congratulate Xander: "From one two-time PGA champion to another, newly minted."

I guess it’s ok that Xander didn’t go to the Mother’s Day celebration last weekend.

Colin Morikawa had the most disappointing and boring round of the day. Nothing seemed to kick his butt into gear and force him to go for birdies. It was like he was completely content playing even par.

Normally Xander’s M.O. @Blarg.

Not today though

Morikawa needs to go to Liv, because he kicks ass over 54 holes.

xander isn't a finisher. he could easily have 5-8 more wins, but sundays aren't a good day for him.

i told you so.

congrats, xander.

Awesome that Schauffele finally got it done. Who now holds the title of best player never to win a major?

I’d say Patrick Cantlay.  An argument could be made for Viktor Hovland or Tony Finau also.

[Blarg]

I don't like Cantlay that much so between Finau and Hovland I would put money on Victor for having the more complete game. 

[Blarg]

I am now on the Bryson bandwagon.

 

[Blarg]

In unrelated news, sorta, kinda...

 

[Angel Oracle]

Finally!

A major for X-Man!  Congrats!

What a way to do it, birdie on 72nd hole!

Fleetwood is a good call. I'm a fan of Finau but I just don't see major winner in him unless he has a random tournament like Harmon did a couple years ago.

I think Hovland for sure has the talent. It wouldn't surprise me to see him win one in the next few years.
