Highlights | Round 3 | Baycurrent Classic

How about the start for Hideki Matsuyama on the third? Yeah, this is exactly what the fans were begging for to start off their Saturday morning, was a run from Hideki to start the day. Walks it in for Eagle, and in the very next hole, the par 5 fourth reachable in two, he's trying to get home from the fairway. Yeah, ball hanging there way above his feet, kind of choked up on that fairway wood. Tough to get it on a good line, but able to do that and chase it to the back pin, that'd be about 5-6 feet for Eagle at the fourth. Matsuyama would go birdie three eagle four birdies on five and six and then check this out at the seventh for birdie on fire Matsuyama the 2021 Baker and Classic champ goes out in 30 on the front nine getting up to nine under and in the mix what a run Zach Boshu has been on at 10 under at the third to get to 11. Yeah top 25s in his last three events picking up right where he left off. Boshu looking for that first win on the PGA Tour. How about Justin Thomas, the most decorated player in the field with 16 career PGA Tour victories, and he's in the hunt at the fifth. Though it set up JT for another birdie. He's had four wins in Asia, but has yet to win the Baker Classic. Keith Mitchell from off the par 5 fourth going with putter. This was crafty, just cozying it up there. Would lead to a birdie, and here's where things stand right now this Saturday. At the top, Zach Boshu, Keith Mitchell. Co-leaders at 12 under par, Mack Meisner and Jacob Bridgman, a shot back. Then you see Steven Yeager, Justin Thomas, Ryan Girard, 5 under through 9, heading to the back nine. And Michael Brennan for a birdie to get to 9 under par. Winner this year on the PGA Tour and making his first visit not only to Japan, but to Asia. So, left below right. Got second at 9. Gosh, he's been putting it close. That one goes. is a moment that we may look back on here at the Bay Current Classic as a turning point for Adam Scott actually a statue of Takeo Iyama is one of the founders of the club and the architect that is near the clubhouse at Yokohama Country Club homage to the original team in 1960. design this what a shot by Sung JM Thomas is so good and so creative with these little flip wedges dead hands going through his second to the eighth i mean on cue if you're gonna go watch a guy practice and hit those shots and the putter does the heavy lifting Bridgman back to even on the round 11 under par he's one behind Bochu and Meisner if you're a great putter you're also a great green reader see if you can figure it all out yes the amount of putts that he makes and i know that yesterday he i wouldn't say struggled on the green but didn't have a lot that found the hole highlights of the day hideki's third at the 15th hello Matsuyama with an unlikely birdie that opened the week with the seven under 64 has been even par since that'll help the cause moves him up to eight under par smith one under on the day michael brennan on the 10th still within striking distance by 10 under par just two behind there's a lot to like about his chances of power player on earth on earth you knew what i meant first you now for birdie and bridgman's gonna the putt this one yeah this one cascading down that high point to his right it's just automatic with that putter i mean so much confidence it's impressive stuff par putt for Brian Harman had missed the green pitch to here three back at 10 under all right these days inside the top 10 been quite the back and forth with Bridgman and Bosu today 133 in for his second he's been in total control i mean him and Justin Thomas probably looked the best out there a huge break from left to right here for Jordan Smith so difficult to get the speed and the line correct on a putt like this he's done a good job hasn't he he's done a great job a bonus there for Smith and that is a stretch of the golf course where you would not be expecting to pick up shots but he goes birdie birdie at 10 and 11 and a tough day for Ben Coles three over on the round this for birdie maybe the comeback starts now special day he had yesterday when it seemed like everything was going right you see that seven on the ninth scoot up to the green can Bosu be the first one to get to 14 you bet Zach Bosu rising up at the bay current classic back-to-back birdies out nine and ten five on the day he's out in front by one this man has had a good season playing all over world Ryan Girard a few appearances on the DP World Tour as well as PGA Tour and having a little look at the way by with the ball sitting up you potentially could jump but i don't think you you want to take that out of play and just anywhere in the center of the green would be good oh how well judges that you have to land it on that bottom tier and chase it up that was really good cannot go directly at the flag it's a blocked view so it's a terrible angle coming off back-to-back bogeys how aggressive do you want to be there's your answer kept it actually left of that hole from that angle Craig Homer the only one finding the fairway off this 10th tee in the final group 129 approach shot in flight how good are those three i was thinking i'm like stephen Jaeger for birdie here at the 11th three there yeah very good you don't want to waste such a quality iron shot that he hit in there very little it's a comfortable putt right edge blocked out down the left side Bo Shu aggressive line look at this look at this it could go it's just gonna miss goodness me that is incredible we'll go quickly down to the green where Bo Shu has this very short birdie putt to get to 15 under par it's been a really good day so far for Zach Bochu three birdies in a row around the turn he leads by one Matsuyama's third par 4 18th touch of class for Matsuyama Michael Kim on the downslope at the 14th you see how he's kind of leaning forward into that trying to match that slope get down through it driving it low how How good is that? Getting better and better. Wow. What an unlikely birdie by Michael Kim. Two in a row. To the 14th. After a good tee shot here. Michael Brennan. Mid-iron in to the 14th. His right pin today. Oh, and how good is that? Dialed in. As we get back over to 12. And Homer for birdie. He's fighting away. This would be a great place to start here at the 14th. Doesn't give up a ton. Rattles that one in. That's his fifth birdie on the round. Only par 3 on the back 9. The par 3 16th. 251 yards for Michael Thorbjornsen, but a downhill tee shot. Wind off the left to a left pin. Oh, yeah. School or a new job to the 14th. Jaeger birdie putt, unbeknownst to Bridgman. He's just one back. 202 downhill, but back into the wind. I think he's looking towards the flag here. What a kick. Did he get away with a bad strike there? I mean the club drop right away that lands just on the front edge he knows it 17 and 18 two holes from the East Course this is the second shot for Adam Scott at 17 lovely hole after hole Adam Scott giving himself chances he's got to make a couple coming in here third for Jordan Smith at 17 oh you love that you love it beautiful action wasn't it there sure was that looked like it was going in as soon as it landed on the green after that nice approach at the 17th Michael Brennan for a birdie to get to 13 under par just a couple back yes this is long birdie putt here for Keith Mitchell who's been battling away today hasn't necessarily had his best stuff gonna keep the pace up here he looks like he's done it he looks like he has done it with the way that he's playing i mean he jaeger a few back at 12 under on the 17th played his third to here our attempt short sides himself in the bunker not the best bunker shot to there but wow talk about erasing any kind of
