Three of those par 5's are easy enough to birdie. So if he executes on those and can play the rest of the track even it's very hard to catch him. But there are enough scoring opportunities to give up a 65 or 66 for someone in that chase pack. So laying back for a 72 with a 4 shot lead isn't going to get it done not this week.

He’s going to watch the board and play as needed. It’s how it goes now. He’s got a 4 stroke lead. He goes -1 on the front he doesn’t even have to look till the 14th then decide if he needs to score on a couple holes to win.
Obviously if he loses it on a few holes it’s a different game.
Maybe 72-74 should have been 70-72. But the point remains. I think DJ shoots in the 70’s and wins.
HOWEVER: DJ has blown 54 hole leads in 4 majors. Tomorrow could be very entertaining.
