That's a heck of a combination.
I just love the way it goes about his business.
Very seldom do you seem good, excited,
and when he gets on the road as we saw in Dallas.
It was just state on how well he hit the ball.
Aggressive. Stroke from scouting so went left.
Yeah, I think that might have been a misread.
I think they probably thought it's pretty straight.
Definitely not left.
Clean this one up and go to the next one.
OK. OK, so all three players in our
featured group find the fairway at 12.
Some mud on Scottie's ball and had
to contend with shots like this.
Yeah, just a delicate little shot right there.
Kind of a little stab, no problem.
Yep. If there's anyone that can handle
that type of adversity at Scottie Sheffler,
make it from on the short side,
he just chopped down on it.
Ball came out perfectly.
So the world number one gets back to even
par he makes so many of those.
Yeah, he almost expected to at this point.
There are no gaps in his game.
He he does everything exceptionally well.
That's a nice little.
Get back on track.
I think you have to factor in what you just saw.
Perfect excellent up and down for Scottie.
Scrambling through these first few
holes to stay at even par now.
Great 30 chance. OK, the second guess.
But don't wonder if he's thinking
maybe I should have pitched that ball.
Still trying to put it up that's yeah.
Well, that is over the tree on the left.
Fight. Say I don't know if it's over it.
Yeah, it's in the fairway.
Your club to hit from the 3 iron out of the rock.
241
way up in the air as well.
That's in that spot.
It's going to get a ton of business.
That left to stay at three under.
Now Sheffler's birdie putt.
On its way.
Scotty Sheffler, he hasn't done anything.
Ships in his bank of birdie.
Effort for Scottie Sheffler.
He shot kind of through the tree.
Could have gone anywhere.
Anyway, those guys are looking
down at that bunker and I mean,
playing left of that and just keep it in play and.
That's just inside the bunker.
That is longest drive of the day.
Scotty in for double bogey.
He lost both strokes from the Eagle at 15.
He's back to even.
Maybe never three cars more welcome
from that group than those three
on that whole and should set up
beautifully for his eye as you
mentioned with the drawing up
right the T ball for Scotty.
Well, that's a good start.
So I accept it's moving a little bit, right?
Yep.
Bunker out there is sort of a.
Actually, a nice target line.
I think he has to hit it right on the nose.
Pretty good looking shot.
You hit on the nose.
Take a little bit of a breakout.
Put some speed behind it.
That's a good pop up for Scotty up the hill.
It's pretty solid there.
PGA Championship was last played here was.
Hardest opening hole.
Number one player on tour in terms
of strokes gain of approach.
It's pretty good strike.
Hitting four out of the bunker.
Drops two shots, Sheffler, no problem.
It's part of what was the most
difficult hole in the golf course.
He passed the quiz and now
he hits his second at 2.
Well, 155 yards.
That may be one of the
better chances here.
Then I'm going 75.
That one's working nicely towards
the left hand side of the fairway.
Inside right, I think.
That really never looked like it was online.
All may double on the 16th year, Sheffler.
All things considered at even par,
he's still fighting the mix.
That's only a nice line.
Raked at the bottoms,
Scotty trying to get up and down.
It's pretty well played for now.
Let's say so.
This one straight up the hill
moving to his left.
Seems to like it.
There is a disappointing birdie.
That would be one of them.
There aren't many of them out there.
Probably had a great opportunity
back to 8 and Sheffler.
Now trying to throw it up in the air.
Use a little trajectory.
Almost nestled down pretty good.
I'm gonna get a little bit of help.
On his cards of Scotty Sheffler
will have that for birdie.
Curtis bit of a disappointment for
that group to just get the one birdie.
Scotty's second on 9 another 6 iron.
The best he's hit today.
Andy, this is exactly what you might expect.
It's really important short
ones on the very first hole.
Was it in 40 shot on the first hole?
He needs to hit a good one here.
Looks good. Yeah, really good.
I bet that changes this whole.
Keep this below the whole.
That's good. With the green.
That was very professional gentleman.
On a good line, berries.
Saturday night at 4 at Scotty
Sheffler out of the bunker.
She's going to carry it just out of it.
Sure is Andy North. Card for Scotty.
Brings everyone back closer,
but now you realize Scott is only
5 back and it's only early Friday
for him and he did and here he is.
Sheffler just a really nice long 2 putt.
Absolutely too tight.
One fairway, four greens, he's 200.
But to make life a lot easier,
playing on the shortcraft,
he's going to tracing by top tracer
brought to you in partnership with Rolex.
Sheffler with a beautiful approach
back to Scott. Pretty much straight
up the hill from 20 feet.
At the pace, but was just
fractionally off of the read and so.
He'll remain 4 under.
Good front on though.
I think all the way in this top level,
the slope starts about 2 yards
short of this whole location.
And he bounced it and stay there.
Yeah, well done.
That's frustration you rarely see or hear.
From Sheffler. OK.
Andy, does that make up for it?
I think a little bit.
It never makes up completely.
Will have a chance.
They're just going to need to.
Put their foot on the gas to 12
Sheffler's tee shot.
He finds the fairway at 12.
It's the hardest one to find today.
A very generous course with their fairways,
pin high would be perfect.
This case over the flight stick.
It's going to come back down.
Gravity is going to help him
out here a little bit.
Sure is Andy.
Now Scott going back up the hill.
You can take this one through
a little bit more speed to it.
In for Paul, remaining at 4 under.
Keep an eye on Sheffler now with
the scoring opportunities coming
up in two of the next three holes.
Tee shot. 20 feet or so short of the hole.
Just let it release down there.
It's fairly quick going this way.
Green does run away from him right here.
Sort of like that man.
Great shot by Scotty Sheffler.
Taking advantage of one of
the scoring holes out here,
Sheffler McElroy both make threes.
Scott, he's the third.
As well, class stuff.
Just what you think.
So if you can take this advantage of that shot.
Gold is now within three of the.
Take for one moment they don't know.
Three for three Matt.
I remember what happened yesterday, Andy with.
Tracing my top tracer brought
to you in partnership with Rolex.
No, that was more like Scotty Sheffler.
That's a stark difference from yesterday.
Clean ball, clean shot,
clean birdie attempt for Scotty.
Xander tapped in for par now Sheffler.
You know, we wondered.
How good Vegas is 8 under would still
be at this point in the afternoon
and he still sits two shot clear.
Absolutely perfect shots we've seen.
I think Andy's could.
You could sort of see that coming
after the swing he made last hole.
I did not see that coming from those two.
Can you put the Miss Putts on the
last hole out of your head on this
tee shot you better? Certainly
looks like the answer for Scott is yes.
Scotty looks like he's found a little
something here in the last few holes.
We're back world number one.
Scotty Sheffler from the fairway on 18.
Yeah, 168 you think anything will
pass the whole to the right.
Sort of like that.
That is pretty darn well played.
Yeah guys, I think he might have
found something sure seems that way.
6968 for Scotty Sheffler.
And this is the 7th time that he's
in the top five through 36 holes
in a major since 2022 center.
Center cut tee shot two for Scotty.
OK, Scotty Sheffler.
He'll go over the top for sure.
Driver this is aggressive.
Starts way left and a mile in the air.
If it covers, it's really good.
134 feet apex.
All that is perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
Let's go to two.
What a great view here of Scotty Sheffler.
Time for the number one player in
the world to attack right here.
Just a sandwich from 110.
Spend.
Alright, that's an easy putt from
there's where JT Poston hold it for.
Bogey birdie first two rounds on the 3rd.
This one identical line to see who
starts at the left now fading.
That's excellent, interesting.
Well, how they say normally suits a draw.
Mike Walker dealing with the family
matter at home as we go to the 3rd.
Scotty second.
188 to the whole 185 to get up top.
I think you have to let
land it down below Frank.
It's drawing just like that called.
It's on the right level.
To four.
Sheffler's T shot.
Also an 8 iron for Sheffler.
What a shot by Scotty.
That'll get him going.
He's been looking for something to jump
start his round that he just found it.
Sheffler Max Houma with them as well
today and Scotty taps in for birdie.
And Scotty coming off the birdie.
That's weird, another beauty.
I 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.
Good commitment and control
when you're feeling unsure.
Impossible to get up and down.
Over at 5 Sheffler for back to back birdies.
Here he comes.
Scotty Sheffler's within one shot of
the lead in the third round of the
PGA Championship. This should be
no problem for him. Really good lie.
Yeah, hold on.
That's why you'd always rather be below
the presidential Medal of Freedom 2014.
We're at the 7th up for a long wait.
Sheffler and after a good break
ball ran through the bunker.
This five would and he's begging.
You need to beg for that.
That's a great shot.
Little bit of right to left break in it.
Scotty Sheffler ruled number one.
Fox tapped in for birdie.
Was that cutting too much?
Oh, this is way right.
Needs to get lucky.
I think it caught a tree called it did.
It spit back out in the fairway.
There it is just short of the bunker.
How's the two breaks he got?
Ryan Fox got here at 8th.
Wow, that's good.
Eight can you take advantage, Colt?
Second hole in a row.
He's got a great break.
He normally makes these look pretty easy.
Not bad.
Call just like see who's
just dove off to the right.
They just don't see it.
Yeah, this 8th green is tricky.
I've won that little back shelf.
Remains tied at 7.
See you in Vegas back on the tee.
Travel this way hard on the left,
not the easiest tee shot when
you like to fade it.
No, he's gotta take it up into the
trees and then let the wind hit it.
OK, just caught the fairway.
That's 6 iron from 214.
It's on a nice line.
Sounded nice too.
Birdie putt coming up.
Patiently picking this golf course apart.
This for the lead out, right?
7 greens in these conditions
is pretty impressive.
Yeah, it sure is.
Wind gusting all over the place.
That's what I said at the top of the show.
Nobody has control with the
irons like Sheffler.
Andrew just absolutely striped
tee shot and Scottie Sheffler.
Right down the middle.
No eagles at the 10th hole so far today.
That came out with so much spin on it.
Brilliant. Great shot by Sheffler.
Yeah, he's coming back up the
hill here moving to his right.
Tough to get it all the way there.
Damage done from the tee.
Mr Fairway couldn't control the 2nd.
And another birdie.
Tiny ribbon fairway here at 12.
I love this tee shot, Jim.
Trees just frame it beautifully.
This whole just got a lot easier from there.
Yeah, for sure.
He's gonna let that tee shot right there.
Not an easy fairway to hit.
About half the time players
are finding the short grass,
so that's a beauty there.
Watch out for wrong tomorrow.
Very impressive over 12.
Here's Scottie.
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 Scottie as
we cover the stroke lost on the previous hole.
He couldn't ask for a better look.
Just barely outside the right.
That's the look right there.
For Scottie Sheffler.
Now 13 bunker shot for Sheffler five times.
He's got it up and down out of six.
This is going to test his skittles here, Frank.
Oh, that's gotta be easy.
There's a slope over there.
That's tricky part to call.
Full attention so shot dropped.
It's Scottie Sheffler at 14.
Three wood on the way.
Oh baby, be as good as you look.
My goodness, look at this.
That for the outright lead.
That's an eagle at Quail.
And Sheffler send shockwaves around.
This PGA Championship layout he is
back to a tie for the lead with an eagle.
At the 14th.
Seems to like it.
And just in the fairway there.
Awkward little angle has to
fly it up on top, get it to check.
That's going to be a nasty little putt, Andrew.
I have a chance to get to 9 under.
This one is flirting with that bunker.
Wow, that was fortunate.
Golfers never forget.
So this is just barely left of it.
Gorgeous pass at it.
Three miles playing about a shot over
pop hold it up against that right to left
win just hit the same shot he did on the last.
Right at the center of the green.
Beautifully done.
Exactly where he wanted it.
Middle of the green.
And perfect it is.
Scotty Sheffler to 10 under par.
He leads the PGA Championship by two.
I mean, this is just a clinic.
That's an 8 iron on the way.
But if it's a number, it's the number.
Gorgeous shot by Sheffler.
He's got it all.
Did it didn't matter one bit.
It's a Sheffler showcase performance.
Scotty's thinking what green mile 5 under
the last five holes for the world.
Number one is out to achieve right now.
In the same direction as yesterday,
this starts right center,
cutting it touch and love.
It's to go a little and does.
The first hole of brute.
About six or seven of them yesterday.
Now Scotty.
That's from 86 yards chance to turn the
tide to take advantage of this good break.
No issue with the footing
there on the pine score.
Got his Sheffler bogey birdie.
First two holes. What a bounce back.
Been through a lot with all his.
Randy said he'll take a tranquilizer
and he's just nervous because that's
Randy's way of doing things.
No, that was a dot that one that'll
help that birdie help to our bet.
We had a poor bunker shot
Doddy at the opening hole.
Think that's all about to change, Frank.
Could be a potential two shot swing here instead.
Got a good break actually off that
T shirt. That's exactly right.
He has multiple times this week and
now here off to the poor iron.
For part. Be just like him to make it.
It's getting better and better
as these leaks have gone on.
Trying to keep that momentum here.
Drop a shot just in backstroke.
They seem to take it back outside
and that all started.
Left and broke left.
To the whole, it becomes like a bathtub.
Everything wants to go down there.
Toward the whole.
Like this. It's going to be better.
Define gravity, you can't stick there.
Yes, yes, it does it to him.
Good speed, not to be remains
one over on the round.
Still a three shot lead.
Winning a major championship is not easy.
Courses are tough.
And the pressure is immense.
15 times on tour.
That's going to be a two over par side.
Once he taps out,
went in to clean that off.
All six through nine.
That at the very least,
seven and eight are gettable.
Six through nine.
He's going to be two over for that
stretch of holes again. The T shots.
Seven and eight chance to make
birdie ruin with the.
Where he is made par all three days.
Time to go back to the X's and O's,
and this is a fine looking start.
Big hole for Sheffler.
Third easiest hole today.
Back on top.
Yesterday. Rhythmical yeah,
10 and 11 just height.
Just gave it time to gather up and deliver.
Be the number. Distance so well,
and that is a perfect shot from where he was.
As prescribed right here.
I think we had a little corrective
talk on the way to the 10th team.
Whatever he did, it's working.
Same club choice.
Ideally, a touch left and spin
it down the slope to the hole.
Coming in from that left side there.
7 iron. Six yards long to mess with.
Simple big one here for a little cushion.
Sheffler for Birdie at 14.
Now two in front with four to play.
And that's going to be just fine
to start the 15th here for Sheffler.
We made even 15 Sheffler.
Watermaker.
Bounce is good, but it's bunkered.
It's getting closer.
I would look for this just.
A little short of the whole,
but he's going right at it.
Not this guy.
Wonderful shot in a slight downslope.
He just regardless of the situation 17.
For Park to retain that six shot advantage.
And he makes it.
Well, in Charlotte, NC,
it's the home of NASCAR.
And Scotty Sheffler just has one lap to go.
Mr. Train killer when it comes to golf.
37 that's the way to do it with style.
It'll just make the final margin 5.
Scotty Sheffler wins in a runaway.
In the showdown at Charlotte.
