Rolling report: Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick lead the way after a dramatic day at Brookline. Scott Murray was watching.
Two putts for Joel Dahmen; par, and a much more workable 74. Morikawa goes into tomorrow at +2, surely too far behind given the sheer number of players now in front of him. Dahmen remains in the red at -1, with hopes still very much alive.Everyone assumed all eyes would now be on Collin Morikawa. But he’s been all over the shop today, seven over for his round and at +2, almost an irrelevance in terms of winning this championship.
A double bogey to finish, and he’s signing for a 71. He trudges off looking thoroughly sick. He’s -3, and won’t be in tomorrow’s final group now.Rahm’s drive hit the face of the bunker and rolled back. He thinks he’s got enough room to get over the lip and go for the green ... but slams his second straight into the face! He whips his second attempt higher, and it dunks into the bunker guarding the front of the green. He’s left with a fried egg.
He really is clinging onto the leaders by the fingertips! His sheer determination is as impressive as his general play has been poor. If he can get home without any further damage, he’d be entitled to consider this a masterclass in damage limitation. Eight one-putts in his last nine holes! Meanwhile on 18, Scheffler flips out of the sand to 12 feet and sets about the ground beneath him with some irritated downward axe chops ...
He moves back to -3. Meanwhile up on 18, Fitzpatrick lobs high out of the bunker, hoping the bank towards the rear of the green will bring his ball back towards the hole. It does a bit, but not by much. He’ll be left with a 25-footer to save his par.He gets a decent lie, but doesn’t take advantage, his ball dunking into the bunker guarding the front of the green. Sam Burns is just over the back in two.
