    Terrible round for him today, he's had some tourney's where he looks like the old JT, but not this one.

    Ben Griffin really seems to have found something. Scottie right there in the mix but needs a Scottie round today to get a chance to wind.

    Scottie played a perfect round 4 birdies in the last 5 holes after starting with 13 pars in a row. Ben Griffin missed a short putt on the 18th hole to give Scottie the sole lead. He will play in the final group with him tomorrow, will be a real test for Griffin.

    Jordan Spieth was in it till the last couple of holes when he made some critical errors that leave in a tough position to try to win, but he's still in the hunt for an excellent top 10 type of tournament.

    Looks like an exciting finish possible today. I am rooting for Griffin. We need some new blood.

    Scottie did what he does and it put too much pressure on Ben Griffin and forced errors out of him.

    When he made that eagle putt I was wondering if somehow he had a chance ,then he yanked the drive off the kid way left and that was it for him.

    Rory didn't bring his A,B,C or even his D,game today. Has a quad and is something like 8 over.

    Ludwig Aberg also has a quad, was in some incredible rough and took 4 shots to get out.

    Cameron Champ currently leading by 2 over homie Nick Taylor.

    No big stars, but it's been a good tournament. I do think that the short par 3,they're calling the Rink in a nod to Hockey is kinda lame.

    Ryan Fox 1 back but hit a great drive on the par 5 18th. Birdie = playoff Eagle = win

    Fox layed up so barring jaring it from the fairway, he's has to make birdie.

    Playoff! Fox sneaks a long putt in the side door. Ryan Fox plays fast.

    Burns is going to kick himself for missing the 5 footer to win on the 1st playoff hole if he loses.

    Terrible pitch by Burns...but Fox was off as well and we go to playoff hole #4.

    I've never seen them move the hole though after the 2nd playoff hole,but they did.

    Fox hits a great 2nd shot and 2 putts for the win...Sam didn't hit a great shot and had a long putt and 3 putted.

    That 5 footer he missed on the 1st playoff hole came back to bite him.

    Oakmont and the Church Pews bunker. A very tough test for the best golfers. Scottie of course is the favorite. What Rory will show up? Can Bryson get another one?
