They used to say that about Sergio...maybe Fowler needs to get him some Longhorn P and turn that shit around

he has the pole vault P, screw the majors.

[UTexasFight 9806]

Some BIG names sitting at -5.
Think any of them have a chance? They are 4 back now.
Have to think one of the five guys between -6 and -9 right now will get to at least -11 tomorrow, which would mean the -5 guys would need a 65.
Today’s low round when the course was laying down for the most part was a 64.

[Jive Turkey 12993]

Molinari has been on a world class roll lately.  He was my pick before the week started.  I feel like he's got the best chance of the dudes 3 shots back or more.  But he'll need some help.

everything depends on the weather, if it's blowing a steady 20, ain't nobody shooting 65.

Yeah I picked him in a pool I’m in as well.
Wish he weren’t paired with Tiger though.

Tee times are a littler earlier on Sunday.

 

Spieth and Zander with an X go off at 8:45 central

 

Horns book-end the proceedings.

Hossler out first at 2am Central.

[jettrink 40]

Jordan needs to go tomorrow and play exactly like today: loose as a goose!

[TonyTexas 10737]

Jordan needs to go tomorrow and play exactly like today: loose as a goose!

It’s going to be more windy so he’ll have to play a little differently. But he has the best head so he should be the favorite.

Probably in the event of a playoff

[BigDHornfan 6630]

Jordan v Tiger  playoff.     Jordan winning.    Calling it.

Yeah, hate to say this, but that head will explode sometimes tomorrow. I said it before. I don't think he has a chance.

Apparently, your spidey senses are disengaged.

Jordan will win this. It won’t be easy but he’ll pull it out because of his experience in majors. 

[Dewey 3330]

If not Jordan, would like to see Tiger get his 15th first come from behind major. I'll just tune out the media and the Tiger fan bois for a couple weeks.

If either Web or ZJ, I'll turn it off and pretend it didnt happen.

[elfenix 34744]

i just hope we get some shots of allison stokke in the crowd

Couldn't tell if Jordan was trying to be funny, or if he was a little snarky there. 

He came off sounding like a prick, which was a little off-putting.

Normally seems like class act, but was a little prissy today 

[Napoleon 8822]

Before the final round kicks off, I was wondering if anyone could explain this ENGLISH sport to me.

What's the cutoff point for contenders today?  I'm thinking anyone -5 or better right now is still in it.  I think Spieth would have to be the guy to put money on.  If he falters I don't see a clear #2 favorite.  You have a bunch of guys without much experience contending in the final round of a major, and a couple with a lot of experience but who knows what you will get with them on any given day (Rory and Tiger).  If Spieth blows up it could be glorious havoc with the rest of the field.  I don't see Spieth blowing up but this is probably the most unpredictable major they play.   One thing for sure, with the top of the field as tight as it is anyone who Van Der Veldes a hole (or Fowler's it if they are playing #6) is going to be out of it.  If the wind blows everyone is going to make some bogies, but not everyone is going to make triple bogies.

[Spartan52 151]

Scott has the game and temperament to do something, he would just need to have things go right the whole way around.

Wind is getting up

That's what I think I saw them mention at the end of yesterday's round. It's crazy how the weather changes so much there.

[Spartan52 151]

Tommy Fleetwood is a chance here as well

[EMAWesome 101]

Fleetwood started out at -5 so I included him in the contenders.

[Fudbelty 2809]

So ready for this. The best golfer of my yute and arguably the best golfer of today playing late on Sunday Major.

[APMP 688]

Man I don't care what anybody says. That dude in that Sunday red with that look walking up to the first tee is still an awesome sight.

[Fudbelty 2809]

Tiger to 15’.

[Fudbelty 2809]

Good putt. Gotta be hard to get it high enough

[heso 2863]

Wow. Chapell got a horrible lie on that. 

[llanoflash 151]

This is gonna be great. Wind is gonna be a bitch

[Jimbaround 987]

Barely missed that putt. Dang, it looked good the whole way until the very end.

[Fudbelty 2809]

And here...we...go. .jokergif

[Fudbelty 2809]

Pretty weak applause after Jordan teed off.

[McCroskey 1510]

Tiger finally seems calm as can be on a Sunday in a tournament this year.  I can't put my finger on it other than he just looks relaxed and dialed in.  Jordan a little punchy off the 1st tee, but have to think that's to be expected.

That said, Tiger's got a testy par putt here at 2.

[Fudbelty 2809]

Niiiiice.

[McCroskey 1510]

What a shot, Jordan.

[Lat22 4082]

There wasn’t any wind on that beach unless that was the leeward side.  That water was calm. 

[Jimbaround 987]

The commercials are ridiculous. I feel like we watch three minutes of golf and then get two minutes of commercials. Hopefully they are front-loading so we can have fewer as it comes down to the wire.

[Mo Horn 8937]

Early missed opportunity

[hornbri 1508]

Kisner is imploding on 2.

I hope this is the case, too.  Yesterday they were only running about 30 seconds of commercials near the end, and not as often as I recall.

[McCroskey 1510]

Kisner making a mess of #2.  Double bogey almost a certainty.

Ha - he almost chipped in bogey

[McCroskey 1510]

Hard to understate the difficulty of that approach shot by Tiger there.  Burn right up in front of the hole, got a flyer lie from some thick grass, and the wind is blowing 18-20mph downwind.  All from 128 yards.

 

[Jimbaround 987]

With this wind and the firm fairways I am pretty sure Carnoustie is going to have her pound of flesh today.

[McCroskey 1510]

Did I just hear them say Xander's "birdie" putt was 56 yards?

[heso 2863]

Kisner going to wrong direction fast. 

[Mo Horn 8937]

This may be a day where if Jordan can just play a par round, that could be enough.
