So the only player today to finish better than -2 who did not birdie one of the first 3 holes was Matsuyama, so based on that Scottie should shoot a 69 or worse right? 🤪

Well he almost did just that, about 6 inches too far right.

Scottie is pissed lol, the way he just picked that up and walked off, this is where he usually puts the next tee shot within 2 feet of the pin when its a par 3.

Well the Gods gave it back to him for sure lol. Scottie got a ridiculously good break and Fitz a bad one on the approaches

Fitz should have had an eagle attempt here but he got a really bad bounce. Li managing to not birdie 2 though was bad

I feel like networks have not realized there are not many casual golf viewers. You can fool an NFL/MLB fan maybe into thinking a certain team is still in contention etc but we all know Rory has like a 1 in 10,0000 chance to win this unless he goes at least 118 or lower in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

NBC in protest mode today, did not want to show the 1005 or 1015 groups teeing off which is kind of odd. They usually show the last 4. I'm awaiting the inevitable X post from a certain account giving us the reason why they did not show the 1015 group 😃

We have a joke in South Florida whenever you see a man in pink/green/purple/orange colored pants or shorts he is Cuban/South American. I guess that carries over to Spain too.

He missed like a 3-4 footer

Someone is gonna shoot like 62-63 today in the top 15-20, maybe 2 guys. Could see one of Scottie/Harman/Fitz/Li pulling away from the other 3 and someone coming from out of nowhere in that -5 group to be within 2 strokes of the lead at the end of the day

Which is why I think we have some surprises coming yet. Its really hard to maintain that type of level, even if you're Scottie for 3 straight rounds. He's even said before he gets nervous at times in majors and we've seen it somewhat from him where he has rounds of like 68-69 where at times he is rolling for 4 holes then goes 2 over for 4 holes, he usually stops the bleeding but has one of those days often it seems in ones he wins or contends in. I think he has a good day but would not surprise me if he shoots only like 70 or 69. If he does that, he won't be leading headed into Sunday. He'd still be favored though unless someone goes 64 like Fitz or Harman

Supposedly was sick earlier last week and not feeling 100% so he's doing day commentary for USA and other networks but basically heading back and going to bed right after. They said he might be there beginning tomorrow.

I totally get it. Tiger in 2005 at same age of Scottie was married too and just recently I think had his first child but you could still envision the guy going to the bar and getting sloshed or even he and his wife having their sitter watch the kid for a night and getting sloshed together. I so cannot envision Scottie or his wife doing that. I'd guess the dude was Mormon if I did not know he was not

Tomorrow is not bad, Sunday looks terrible

Nowadays given how soft contacts are I’m amazed Bahtia wears glasses on the course. He must truly be intolerant to them or just unable to put them in/out. Believe he’s only guy on tour that wears them. Fratelli occasionally would

Still think Scottie has a real good shot to be the sole leader by the end of the day at 9 or 10 under

Rain making things tough. It’s still saveable for birdie though

Alright maybe -9 or 10

Scottie should be at -8 or so by end of round as long as he takes advantage of the two remaining 5s

China having practically no male golfers while Korea/Japan have a ton is as bizarre to me as the NHL having tons of Swedes and Fins and no Norwegians....they had one actually and he was only half Norwegian and half Italian

Scottie obviously going to need a really big day here, probably has to go 68 at least, anything E or less might more or less take him out of contention, especially since Saturday weather now looks significantly better. If we assume leader is -8 which seems likely there will be too many guys at 5/6/7 to be able to make it back from -3 or worse.

I cannot get over the fact too he did it 7-10 minutes ago and USA has not yet shown the shot or score and says he's through 5 only.

I think he needs to get to +1 on 18

The field was not this crowded just behind him though in 23
