Dechambeau is a different kind of dude but he is quickly making himself must watch TV

[jayswin]

^^^^
What happened?

[dirk diggler]

just the fact that he is crushing the ball. They interviewed Rory and he said Dechambeau outdrove him last week i think by 40 yards on one hole.

Ah, sorry seemed like another controversy from your post. Luckily I was about to swap Bryson out for Schauffele on draft kings, last minute, due to Harbour Town favouring accurate drivers. I forgot to do it Wednesday night, haha.

Also, have Corey Conners, so two of the top three guys going into the weekend.

[Sylvanfan]

Connors shot 63 today and not a peep about him. All the talk was about DeChambeau.

[CofR]

Connors one of six players tied at -14 right now for the lead.

Today is going to be an awesome final round. Early rounds are posting some low scores already so there should be a lot of movement on the leaderboard.

Just starting up again after the weather delay.

That weather delay really messed up what was a great start.

Pretty good finish. I was really pulling for Ancer or Hatton, but still a good tournament. Really surprised at Ancer's finish there on 18. Pulled it right leaving a long birdie putt to tie and then he left the birdie putt well short.

If you're in a position to force a playoff with a birdie that's a head scratching decision to make a safe putt to the hole. Just fire it and hope it drops. If you lose an extra stroke and drop a spot oh well, that's the price to win tournaments, pay that price.

Any word on when Tiger will play next?

[Flabbibulin]

Yikes, is the PGA Tour season about to crumble? Players starting to WD out of caution. I am really starting to wonder if a similar thing won’t happen in all of the major leagues. Everything gets underway then starts to fall apart after a string of (inevitable) positive cases with players or staff.

[Derek Sutton]

I see this as the best case scenario. Positive tests and the tour players are reacting appropriately, not selfishly. The recommendation from day one is that if you've been in close contact with a known case, is to self isolate. McDowell, Kopeka, and Webb are doing the right thing, moving forward with golf is IMO also the right thing. These small scares are a reminder that players, and the public in general need to follow th public health guidelines.

At least in golf you can still call a tournament a tournament even if 5 or 6 guys withdraw, just due to the sheer number of golfers per tournament. Where things get really asterisk worthy is in team sports if say you're in the eastern finals in the NHL and 5 regular players are out with covid and the other team stomps them.

Mackenzie Hughes is -9 thru the 16th hole this morning

Finished with a 60 on the day, his putt to make 59 he left a few feet short. Would be a great start to Canada Day celebrations if he can keep this up over the weekend!

I didn't watch the coverage this morning but that round of 60 looks awesome. It looks like he was on fire for the stretch between 14 and 18 with 5 straight birdies.

Great round. 59 was going to be tough with a par 5 on the card.

[Strange Brew]

Well it was a par 70 so 59 was a possibility. I hope the Canadian can come through but I wish these courses were set up a little tougher. When bogey never comes into play, a lot of the drama is lost.

[chummer]

3rd round of the Travelers already finished because of expected bad weather.

Hughes did hold the lead briefly but is now 4 back headed into tomorrow.
