After the booming drive from Wyndham Clark,
it's outrageous man took a huge divot.
Let's see if he can control that speed
down the hill with the spin and hold on.
He did wow. Just inside 190.
He's got it going right at it.
How they're going to play as the
leaders come to one, two and beyond,
and as to get a golf course changes.
That's Adam Scott beginning with a birdie.
Amazingly, is 25th.
We don't have any room left on
our highlight reel for the week.
Kept it low. That was a nice play.
It's really nice to pitch from the first cut.
After starting out with two dog
legs on the first two holes,
this is the first straight par 4.
And that's to the perfect spot on this green.
Beautifully played.
At 12, McKinnon second many ways to hydrate,
not there are called rehydrate.
So McKibben gets up on that shelf.
I'll tell you this week the 12th
fairway second hardest to hit.
This and that feel typically the best
in the game playing well again to two.
Good point. Hovland John straight up the hill.
Can you run it in? Yes.
Short games gotten better and better
as his career is going on.
That was beautiful birdie putt and
Victor Hovland gets to three under.
Great approach there.
Cam young to get to red numbers.
On a great line.
Do it for Gordo. Cam young.
To two becoming a more familiar look
as Joe Highsmith's profile elevates.
Back at two very nicely.
See if John can make this one on three.
Well, you mentioned it stayed in that first cut.
Makes it easier.
Be well over at the second hole.
This is Alex Noren from the very
thick rough down the right side.
181 and what a shot for Alex Noren.
Just his second start of the year for Alex.
Let's go to 14.
Matt Wallace started his round at 10.
Again, this is the perform
with all kinds of action.
We've got more already with Matt Wallace
holding that bunker shot for an eagle.
I think we'll see multiple eagles
there today playing just over 300
downhill downwind everybody will
be taking a cut at that green.
Just now, as we come on the air,
Bryson, he had the 1249 tee time.
He's eyeing a birdie attempt at number
one up and over the Ridge,
turning sharply to the left fast
from 30 feet here it comes.
Bryson picks up a shot right out of
the gates and that is his longest
make of the week. What a start for
Bryson over to another major champion
in five and two under through his
first four holes. Just a short club
in little more aggressive than Victor, no.
Will be disappointed with that.
He sure will obviously protecting
from going along, but playing with
Ben Griffin and Eric Cole today,
Eric Cole made a hole in one
at this hole on Thursday.
He now not too bad either.
With a shot for Tony,
who has a shortcut for birdie
in the world was watching
on the edge of their seats.
At the 12th, it's Harris English.
Started with a couple paws.
Can he landed on and keep it on?
Oh yeah.
Tough start starting bogey bogey at 10 and 11.
Trying to get up there close to his
playing companion Harris English.
He might be inside of him.
My goodness, that's one in 100
shot from that line.
And John Robb took some time
before hitting this second shot.
Tricky one Trevor extremely.
He had a few options.
He could have loved it,
bumped it, which is what he went with or put it.
Over at 4 hits at Sunay
in the green side bunker.
Look at this, how about it?
The 81st hole out this week by the field,
so we have been seeing them go in and.
It said Sunay adds to the list.
He's been on at 14.
And been on.
Had a low shot in here and put on the brakes.
That's how you do it.
Should have gone. I think so.
He's just hanging over that edge.
Let's go to 7.
I'm driving left off the T advanced here.
We just bogeyed the previous all.
Well, this is good.
Control the spin beautifully as
these breezes continue to kick up.
Look at that wind kicking up.
Helping out of the lift here at 14.
It's a nice line.
Oh my goodness, is this some shot?
That's a Maria.
Eagle, but this right now is the
track we're concerned about.
Well, hollow over at one.
Rascal flats, by the way,
accompanying that piece so well.
Is the pitch by Shepard runs out about 18 feet?
Just off the green.
Going with putter and a long birdie attempts.
He's got it.
Xander opens with a birdie.
Maverick McNeely on the team 100.
They let him hit up just saw it to the rear.
Not just a couple of feet away off the T6.
I have carbon copy.
Oh, you're not kidding.
Come on now.
That's inside the Nicos.
Let's go to two.
Oh, what a great view here of Scotty Scheffler.
Time for the number one player in
the world to attack right here.
Just a sandwich from 110.
Spin.
Alright, that's an easy putt from
as the JT post and hold it for.
Let's go to three.
My fellow countryman Ron Fox,
one of the last players in the field.
Could see the wind last week, Middle Beach.
And he gets it into red numbers
for the day. Good start.
At 9 now John Rom.
226 into the monstrous par four,
and that is beautiful.
200 for the day.
Suddenly in the thick of it.
We got away to this.
Just the second group to reach the 18th,
which was such a brute yesterday.
Bo Hassler.
Oh, what's so tough about this?
Mike Walker dealing with a family
matter at home as we go to the third.
Scotty second.
188 to the whole 185 to get up top.
I think you have to let land it down below.
Frank, it's trying just like that cold.
On the right level.
And see where Kim,
who has six hole in ones on tour
since 2016 Colt, that's a lot
of expensive bar tabs.
And that's another good looking job in Seawood.
To four.
Scheffler's T shot also
an 8 iron for Scheffler.
What a shot by Scotty.
That'll get him going.
He's been looking for something to
jumpstart his round that he just found it.
Plane 606 today.
Will have that putt for birdie.
Like this, because you can take it down
out of the wind just a little more.
Boy, he just chipped that that needs to hustle.
One good bounce, that's good, very good.
It's good commitment and control
when you're feeling unsure.
16 along powerful Maverick Neely.
From the high side.
Good things can happen out here.
And what a run he has had to get
that five under his last five holes.
Take advantage of the header
from over there long left.
It's trying.
You just know, don't you, Trevor?
There that if you hit it too firm,
you can chip it across the green.
Absolutely.
Here's rum.
Get that back left hole location.
Fewer found it today.
Oh, but this is nice here.
How well judged is that?
He's skipping it back there.
This should be no problem for him.
Really good lie.
Back at 10, Davis Riley with his third.
He's in the left bunker off the T
and a beautiful recovery here, Riley.
Almost knocks it in 7.
JT Poston nearly in the water with a second.
Lost it up.
So well done and Poston will have that
to get to five under and within two.
Presidential Medal of Freedom 2014
were at the 7th after a long wait.
And after a good break,
Paul ran through the bunker.
This five would and he's begging.
I need a big for that.
That's a great shot.
Dwight and second now for JT Poston.
Let's stay up top.
Yes it has.
As you said, three Eagles.
Already today.
Oh yeah. Wait a minute.
Set up for a possible 4th
beautiful shot by ROM.
It's good eight.
Can you take advantage, Colt?
Second owner always got a great break.
He normally makes these look pretty easy.
Not bad.
That's 6 iron from 214.
It's on a nice line, sounded nice too.
Birdie putt coming up.
Should suit his little drool.
Strong downwind.
That is pitching which from 196 Frank.
Well, he's lost the jacked up, but I don't care.
Sensational pitching words.
Great shot.
Including Alex Noren,
digging this one out at 14,
who is so cool how he just
cut the hands across that.
14 is Davis Riley.
Well played shot.
He'll be the defender next week in Fort Worth.
Let's go to 16 after a big tee shot,
just 167.
It's so hard to get to the right hole location.
The breeze is coming from the right.
He is the only one that's
been able to go right at it.
That came out with so much spin on it.
Brilliant great shot by Sheffler.
Yeah, Tom's going with the.
Sand wedge or lob wedge here.
He might putt that one.
Just trying to spin it wasn't he had.
It must have had a really nice lie
there just in that second cut.
Now at the 15th.
Alex Noren out of the bunker.
His 4th is gone.
Noren holds out and he's now at 6 under par.
Back to 15 Davis Riley's balls
right next to Noren and he'd
do the same thing. No.
At 18, here's John Rom.
For his tee shot, traveled 322 yards.
Oh no way. Just read we go over to 16.
Davis Riley 206 doesn't
have to fly it all the way.
So just letting the breeze
drag it towards the middle.
So if you want the average
proximity, he has 55 feet.
Check around tomorrow.
Very impressive over 12.
Here's Scotty.
Just a sand wedge left and he's
taking this left of the hole.
Trying to use the slope.
I bet he thought that might even
trickle down a little bit more,
but still it's a close range birdie
attempt coming up for Scotty as 17.
Also going with the sand wedge here
trying to bounce it in and spin it.
Well done John. Now 13 bunker shot
for Sheffler five times.
He's got it up and down out of six.
This is going to test his skills here, Frank.
Oh, that's gotta be easy.
There's a slope over there.
This tricky part to call 8 iron.
Carve it in there. Oh yeah.
It's got a shuffler at 14.
Three went on the way.
Oh baby, be as good as you look.
Goodness, look at this.
He's Taylor, big hitter.
He's driven the ball great.
Struggle on the greens until now,
but very little green because today
though three superb at 16 of a 31
year old born in Hickory, NC.
JT potion having a flying championship.
215 yards right into the heart.
Superb shot three wins in the PGA Tour.
Awkward little angle has to
fly it up on top.
Get it to check.
That's going to be a nasty little putt Andrew.
Have a chance to get to 9 under.
Alex Smalley from just off
the back left edge of 17.
Got it to 790 yesterday.
Today just one look at this.
It's perfect.
For Alex Smalley at 17.
It's in Greensboro.
That's the 90th hole out here.
7th hole with two T start this morning.
Rory McIlroy plus two.
This is for part drove it in the water.
50 feet.
Some five from all over the place.
Started really on day one.
Disappointing week.
Still a great season.
So even the big hitters are
hitting 7 irons here.
This is looking good.
And here it comes.
Best shot of the day inside 4 feet foxy.
Here's Poston at 18.
This will go a long way right here.
Well, he can putt can he ever putt?
JT Poston. Trying to follow the.
In the footsteps of North Carolina
born PGA champions like Raymond Floyd,
Davis Love.
It's a Sheffler showcase performance.
Scott is thinking what green mile 5
under the last five holes for the world.
Number one.
