Juliooooo could be en route to his first major. But, I wouldn't rule anything out in this contest. Baller at one point just got his nose in front at +7 only to finish the day seven shots back. If anyone in the tip 7 can go E, -1 or -2 for the day they could still steal it.

Similar for the real tourney. Someone like Tyrell Hatton or even Scheffler might hit a 65 and pinch the victory. Interesting day ahead.

One thing I have as an advantage is my 2 lower guys are close, so I really need just 1 of them to have a good day. We take the best 3 scores overall, right?

Yep absolutely, just the top 3 count until the end. So you are hoping that either Berger or Hughes can hold it together. If either of them shoots a 73, it means you can afford the other to hit a 78 or worse and it won't damage your score.

I have similar thing with McIlroy and McCarthy - both on +10 at the moment and that's my 3rd place score. So if either could get their finger out and shoot a 66 then the other can go an f*** themselves. I hope Rory is listening, I know he checks this forum every contest

Or it’s set up just right and the courses where the winner gets -25 are bull. I would love to have a group of barely scratch golfers playing at the same time to show just how hard the course is. I like that they make this challenge for them.

I see your point. An ultimate challenge for the best of the best. My problem is that no mortal can play that course in under maybe 135. It's just unrelatable to a regular Sunday golfer. You can look at Augusta or even the freaky pot bunkers in the British Opens or the 17th at TPC Sawgrass and imagine what if. But not at this joint.

Is playing 4 straight days at 6 under on a course with a rating of 76 at 7500 yards relatable? It’s just another way to show that these hits are just on another level

I changed my mind. I like this course now. It nasty like a bad ho.

Top 5 separated by just two shots as the tournament leaders clear the first hole.

I’ve got 2 guys with a lot of holes left to play.

I thought you had this in the bag. Now I am hoping Jonny Vegas can get off this course really quickly leaving me just Burns to count.

It looks like it might be all about how quickly we can get our players back to the clubhouse now.

EDIT: Baller has now retaken the lead.

I would think 2 of the top 4 would be enough.

I put a couple of quid on Tyrell at 20/1 but will probably have invoked the forum curse by sharing.

And Jhonathan Vegas can f*** right off with this back 9. Probably cost me my first major. He cant even spell his own name right, the tit.

Interesting if they’ll be able to finish today. Looks like a pretty good rain storm and some of those greens are holding the water.

And the golden rule of golf. When it starts pissing down with rain, back the British guys .

Go Tyrrell.....
