If NBC showed more than 6 golfers today, we would've seen it before it happens for the guys at the top of the leaderboard.They weren't kidding about the back 9 playing much harder than the front. The air is out of everybody's balloons now.
Rory and Hovland go to Sunday with a 4-shot co-lead at -16
No birdies. 4 shot lead it isProbably 3...one or both guys will birdie here I think
No birdies. 4 shot lead it is
Tbh I can see a mental implosion from Rory and a technical implosion from Hovland. He's 5th in SG ARG but I can see a bad few holes stretch that could cost him.Would be funny if both guys shoot 74 and Scheffler wins. I am more confident than Hovland has an implosion day than Rory does
Rory will never be set up better to win a major. 4 shots clear of 3rd place, his opponent has never been under this kind of pressure and is an incomplete player as of now. If he doesn't get it done, I'm asking some serious questions.
The problem is shooting 72 MAY not cut it despite the 4 stroke lead. Even if Hovland goes away there is risk Smith/DJ/Scheffler/Scott could shoot a 64 or 65 on this course so I think he has to feel some degree of pressure. At the end of the day I feel Rory either goes like 67 or 75. I think it'll be one extreme or the other for some reason
