It was an unbelievable spherical in the present day and to complete off like Scottie did [five under through the final five holes], that simply would not occur round Quail Hole – not less than not for regular gamers!
As we all know although, Scottie is something however regular.
After his bogey at 13, there was the eagle at 14, birdie at 15, the missed birdie at 16 after which birdies once more at 17 and 18 – you may’t write a greater script than that going into the ultimate spherical.

What we noticed in the present day was extra like what we noticed the final two years, the place he was going loopy and successful all the things. It is what motivates one of the best within the recreation, going face to face in opposition to their friends.

He is saying, ‘all people has been speaking concerning the world No 2, after I’m world No 1 and know the way good I’m’. He is exhibiting us all that. He is considered one of these gamers you’ll dream about being for in the future, a lot much less one week or one yr.
Who may chase him down on Sunday? It should take one thing other-worldly.
These two gamers [Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau] sit 5 and 6 pictures off the lead respectively, so that they must exit and shoot a 64 – on the very least – and hope that Scottie would not go on the market and get snug early in his spherical.

Sure, they’ve an opportunity, however it’s important to get Scottie out of his consolation zone. I am unsure what golf course or what circumstances do this.

He would not give the chasing pack a complete lot of hope, and for us watching there would not appear to be something that might make us suppose he’s weak going into the ultimate spherical.
He has bought higher and higher each spherical and I anticipate Scottie to go on the market tomorrow with the identical mindset, step on the fuel and look to get six forward as rapidly as he can.
