Oosthuizen, Henley and Hughes all tied for the lead at -5, but with Rory and Bryson lurking at -3 and some other good golfers within 5 strokes. Should be a fun Sunday. Was sad to see Bland shoot a 77 that really could've easily been a 72 if he had gotten a break or two and putted better.

If it was literally frozen solid they should have had you skip the hole or created a temporary green.

A foggy start this morning in SD. If you are a Phil fan they are showing his every shot.

This was a public course.Weequahic park.You have to play 'em as they lie.
Doesn't really matter if public or private. If conditions require local rules should be adjusted. A temporary green cost nothing to make. Find a spot suitable. Cut the grass low. Put a cup in the middle. Having to take 8 more shots is bad management.

Game is on. Things have tightened up with 13 players at -2 or better and Oosthuizen the only one left at -5, as Henley and Hughes have both dropped shots and are at -4 - and some big names among those 10 with Rory, Rahm, Morikawa and DeChambeau all at -3 and DJ, Koepka and Thomas all at -2. Strap in...

DeChambeau almost aces the 8th, coming up maybe an inch short - about to be solo leader by 1. This is fun.

I've never seen so many inside 10 feet putts finish on the low side of the holes.
Koepka just got himself back in it.

This is shaping up to be one hell of a finish, and I’ll enjoy every second of it (though I have some $$ in play here so I’m definitely rooting for certain guys).

That said, anyone else wish they were watching this on CBS with Nantz, Faldo, and the crew? I can’t stand NBC’s coverage. TONS of commercials (at least we have the play through, but still way too many) and Azinger is a brutal listen.

Five of the top 6 are major winners and the 6th is Rahm, who's #3 in the world (and would be higher if he didn't get COVID)...

NBC lost a lot when Miller retired - he was awesome. Definitely prefer the CBS crew.

As good as CBS is over NBC, NBC is much better than ESPN and Fox. They were awful.
Nothing could be worse than FOX although ESPN tries like hell to match them.

7 players within 1 stroke. I think if the average fan was asked to list 10 contenders Wed night, 6 of em would be on almost every list.

Louis is now the sole leader at -6 by two strokes, as Bryson just bogeyed - would love to see him win out of all the guys near the top, as he's finished 2nd so many times in majors and I like seeing the underdog win.

I put some money on Oosthuizen to finish in the top 10 before the tournament started at +300. Really wishing I had the guts to go T5 or even outright winner right about now.

He started terribly too. He has really turned it around.

Holy crap, I've never seen what just happened to Hughes, hitting a tree, the ball dropping down onto the cart path and bouncing back up and becoming lodged in that tree! Things are getting weird, lol.

Like every sport you see something you have never seen before. Yanks had the 2nd triple play this week. Never had 2 in the same year. Now have 3 this year and it's June.

Everyone's imploding, lol. Bryson two straight bogeys, Rory with one and possibly with an impossible shot in the bunker, Hughes with the ball in the tree and Oosthuizen missing badly right and likely making bogey.

Harris English is the leader in the clubhouse at -3. He can win this
