Feels like hes always in the mix or at least 2nd or 3rd page of the leaderboard. Would be a well deserving champion.

Also would be cool for an Asian golfer to win it with all the recent crap that community has dealt with.

Feels like a matter of time for Schauffele as well. If it isn't Matsuyama, I hope it's him.

Like every major, as long as it isn't Ian Poulter I'll be happy

Rooting for Matsuyama first. Then anyone but Rose.

I don't think this will be a runaway. Matsuyama will be feeling some nerves sleeping on the lead. Doesn't have to choke to only shoot 70 or 72 and if he does that several others are in reach.

[Mackus]

Matsuyama bogeys 1 but recovers to birdie the par 5 2nd and has parred the next two.  He's still at -11 and has a 3 shot lead through 4.  He doesn't look very crisp, will be interesting to see if he settles and puts a nice score up or if he starts not being able to scramble and save these pars.

 

Zalatoris at -1 thru 6 is the only person on the first page who is under par today. 

 

Schauffele was -1 thru 2 but then bogeyed the next two and is in trouble on the 5th.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Too early to count out -6 but looking like its a 2 man race. If that. Matsuyama may run away.

[Mackus]

If Matsuyama comes back enough to give Zalatoris a shot then at least a couple other guys will also be in play.  I think a round of 72 wins it for Matusyama.  Might not even need to shoot par.

If I’m a past Champion, I don’t think I want the guy with the 28” inch waist winning and creating the menu for next years champions dinner.

[Mackus]

Matsuyama can't follow up his best shot of the day with the short birdie putt, settles for par on 7 as Zalatoris closes the gap to 2 shots.

 

Matsuyama going to the par 5 eighth, if he doesn't birdie this one it could get in his head.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Not home. Whos in the final pairing with Matsuyama?

[You Play to Win the Game]

Not home. Whos in the final pairing with Matsuyama?

Schauffele.

[Mackus]

Hideki birdies 8 and 9 to make the turn at -13 with a 5 stroke lead.

Would take one of the big all time collapses to not be over at this point. Something like Rory did not too long ago.

[Mackus]

Matsuyama still up 5 with 5 to play.

[Mackus]

Schauffele birdied 4 straight to cut the lead to 2 strokes and then tripled 16.

Matsuyama up 2 with 2 to play. Zalatoris finished at -9.

[Mackus]

Pars 17. Up 2 on the 18th tee.

[Mackus]

He chooses the driver and puts it right down the middle

[Mackus]

Approach finds the right bunker. Just needs to get on the surface and two putt. We'll see about the lie.

[Mackus]

Bogey finish for the win.

Not the drama we'd want on a typical Sunday but great performance and a long deserving champion.
