De Chambeau is such an enigma - his game is a curious mixture of power and ugliness. I’ve always suspected he’d have made a top notch baseball player.

A power hitting DH if I’ve ever seen one. .240 batting average who strikes out at a 25+% clip but you can count on him for 30+ homers and 90+ RBI’s season after season.

Now two behind after a bogey. Schauffele in the lead by one.

Schauffele and Hovland now level at -18, with 2 others close behind. Shaping up nicely.

Morikawa really struggling on the greens - going backwards. Nice to see Rose up there challenging, probably a bit too far back though.

Massive stroke of luck for De Chambeau. Hooked one into the trees and bounced back onto the fairway.

Scahuffele one ahead and has the more holes to play. His to lose if he holds his nerve. Hopefully Hovland can birdie one of the last three.

Schauffele looks like he’s playing in the sliders he wears poolside in Tenerife.

Not to be for Victor. 3 makes me birdie putts in the last 3 and he didn’t make any. De Chambeau or Schauffele the only ones who can win. Bedtime.

Think Xander will see it out with the par 5 last, but really strong showing from Bryson.

Pity Victor. Hope Shauffele wins now as I can’t stand De Chambeau.

Yep, I’m not so down on De Chambeau, but Shauffele is long overdue - from tee to green he’s been immaculate.

Think that could do it, Xander with a relatively simple up and down for the win after an amazing shot with a stance in the bunker

Well done Schauffele. Think he swerved that having led for so long. And De Chambeau getting lucky.

Yeah, had quite a bit of pace on it and took a look before dropping! Could easily have lipped out, reminded me of Tiger's putt at the US Open to force a play-off on one leg, albeit Tiger's putt was about twice the distance.


Well done Xander, seems like a really decent guy and a great player whose consistency has now been rewarded.

I think Dechambeau has largely turned his image around recently.  Seems to have good interactions with the fans, including a nice one this weekend where he threw a ball into the gallery to a kid, but some a-hole grabbed it instead and was walking off before Bryson stopped walking and made sure the kid got the ball.  Some of his recent youtube videos are pretty entertaining as well.  And maybe this just projecting, but I do think that he still cares greatly about golf, and is still working hard at it to be the best player he can, which is more than some other LIV folks.
