Thanks for reading; nighty night. -4: Matti Schmid, Nick Taylor, Jon Rahm, Aaron Rai, Ludvig Åberg -3: Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Reed, Maverick McNealy -2: Kristoffer Reitan, Chris Kirk, Justin Rose, Joaquin Niemann, Martin Kaymer, Bud Cauley, Ben Griffin, Cameron Smith, Min Woo Lee, Max Greyserman, Hideki Matsuyama, Chris Gotterup -1: Brian Harman, Mikael Lindberg, Sam Burns, Brooks Koepka, Rickie Fowler, Harris English, Scottie Scheffler, David Puig Alex Smalley is left with a 13-foot left-to-right drifter for birdie. He’s worn an ice-cool expression all day, but allows himself a smile now! Just a magnificent round, given the way he nervously started it with three bogeys in the first four holes. He’s got a two-shot lead going into the final day of the PGA! Maverick McNealy’s par attempt is always staying up on the left. He signs for a 71, and ends the day at -3. McNealy becomes the latest player to take a bit too much sand from these bunkers on 18. The pressure of coming up the last at a major. He finds the green, but he’s not close. A big two-putt coming up to limit the damage to bogey. A prediction for tomorrow from Ludvig Åberg on Sky: “The guy who runs away with it is going to have a hot putter.” Smalley up first.
