Tiger now holds the record for consecutive cuts made at the masters, 24.

 

[Blarg]

Woods Masters tourney hopes are over. He is +7 after 10 holes, +6 on the day. 

[fan_since79]

Here comes Morikawa!

One back of Scheffler.

[Blarg]

The pack might tighten up with conditions moving towards reasonable instead of yesterday's crazy winds. 

[fan_since79]

The pack did tighten up. Scheffler birdies 18 to lead by one going into Sunday.

Tiger fell off the cliff with an 82.

[Blarg]

Scheffler and Homa kind of idled today allowing more to move into position but most of the scores were par. DeChambeau slipped badly because half of his second shots were out of pine needles. Højgaard blew up after getting to -7 then crashed back to earth shooting a 74. Morikawa was the star of the day with a 69, the second best score of the day. 

[Blarg]

Woods finishes 16 over. He will have to decide if he wants to play competively or just show up at majors and never see a leaderboard.

To be competitive he has to play at least two rounds a month on the tour to build up his game through the grind of playing and diversity of playing conditions. Practice doesn't replace actual tourneyment play. He is not sharp, he is not competitive, he is not helping his legacy.

Wind is kicking up now. Scheffler is clinging to a 1-shot lead.

[PattyD22]

Morikawa could be running away with this tournament on the final day, but he has missed 4 amazing opportunities for birdies and one for eagle and missed them all.  Same goes for Max Homa.

Scheffler is letting the field come back to him with consecutive bogeys.  Scottie is really struggling today with distance control on his irons and he’s missing greens left and right.

Going to be a great finish today with many players within 3 shots right now.

I keep waiting for Morikawa and Homa to decide they want a green jacket but so far Aberg is the only golfer moving his game forward. 

[fan_since79]

Scheffler is suddenly shaky off the tee.

Gonna be a great and tense back nine.

Exactly @Blarg.  Me too.  I’m pulling hard for both those guys, and Scheffler also.

Aberg is playing with zero fear right now, and that’s dangerous.  Maybe he doesn’t realize this is a major and is going to change his life forever?

Maybe he does and welcomes it. Now at -7 for share of the lead.

Not for long.  Scheffler just about canned his wedge from 102 at 9.

Hes got the lead again.  

[fan_since79]

Three straight birdies for the World #1. 

[Blarg]

Is there any reason Morikawa decided to commit Sepeku when he was neck and neck with Scheffler? 

[PattyD22]

Just a masterful performance by Scottie Scheffler today and throughout the entire tournament.  Great champion and great person.

Now go home and be a father.

[fan_since79]

Scheffler, six birdies in his final 11 holes.

He has certainly learned how to close out matches.

It reminds me of the glory days of Tiger.  Back in the day, when Tiger was in contention, especially when he was chasing, guys locked up.  Even great players pressed.

With Scheffler, he wasn’t chasing today, but he had the lead and guys knew he wasn’t going to make mistakes (like Tiger) and Scottie let guys make their own mistakes.

Scheffler is Tiger 2.0

[Tank]

morikawa said afterwards he got greedy on 10 and another hole on the back nine. he screwed up both of them and that ended his run. 

some idiot reporter afterwards asked scheffler if he was going to lose his focus now with the imminent birth of his kid. that reporter should be banned.
