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.

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.

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.

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

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.

You won't be all that astonished to learn that the cop who arrested Scheffler last week wasn't dragged by Scheffler's car and got his pants ruined. Well if his pants were ruined it was because they were on fire.
Scheffler turned into the club entrance whereupon the cop ran over to his window and banged on it. Scheffler stopped immediately and was arrested and the cop hauled him off to jail citing assault.

Good job for Scottie that he was a rich white guy though.

He's been described as a tortured soul but a very decent and thoughtful fella by all accounts. He battled mental health struggles and alcoholism in the past and had been very open about it. He seemed to be on the right track with sobriety, I think he was engaged and had a kid too. Won the Sony Open in January.


Incredibly sad news. RIP Grayson.

He's had issues with drink and depression over the years, but he seemed to have overcome them given what he said after winning at the start of the year. All the golfers commenting on him say what a genuine nice guy he was.

RIP. Thoughts to his family.

Murray's parents, in breaking their silence on Sunday, confirmed that Murray died of suicide.

"We have spent the last 24 hours trying to come to terms with the fact that our son is gone. It's surreal that we not only have to admit it to ourselves, but that we also have to acknowledge it to the world. It's a nightmare," they said in a statement.

"We have so many questions that have no answers. But one," they continued. "Was Grayson loved? Yes. By us, his brother Cameron, his sister Erica, all of his extended family, by his friends, by his fellow players and - it seems - by many of you who are reading this. He was loved and he will be missed."

"We would like to thank the PGA Tour and the entire world of golf for the outpouring of support. Life wasn't always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now."


RIP.

Condolences to family and friends.
