Very hard to predict what might happen tomorrow. You've got two guys desperately needing to win a major with Sergio and Fowler, both have histories that make it incredibly difficult to wager on their chances Sunday afternoon. Fowler has the edge on the greens, but Garcia's ball striking is head and shoulders better than Rickie's, including wedge play around the greens. But both are fighting the same mental demons. Either of these two guys winning is a huge, huge deal and they both know it. Obviously it's a huge deal for all those guys, but especially these two. They're carrying some added pressure with them to the first tee tomorrow.
Jordan... shot 75 on Thursday, 8 shots off the lead. Two rounds later, he finds himself in the second-to-last group and only 2 shots back. For a kid who the "experts" note doesn't have the greatest golf swing, he sure as hell knows how to get it around in 3-4 strokes better than it looks like he should. I think there's some added pressure there tomorrow for him too, with the way things ended last year. More than anything else, he just needs to avoid the disastrous mistake that takes him out of the tournament. There will be some mistakes from most all those guys tomorrow with everything on the line, so the occasional bogey won't be a deal breaker. And if he's aiming anywhere other than the middle of that 12th green tomorrow, his caddie needs to find a new line of work.
Moore and Hoffman are in the ideal situation... both have played extremely well, both are no different than Spieth as it relates to where they are in relation to the lead. Nobody expects either of these two guys to be in Butler Cabin tomorrow evening. They've got nothing to lose and everything to gain, shoot 66 or 67 and see what the last two groups do coming up the 18th. Might be good enough, hell - might be more than good enough. Strange things happen at this place on Sunday afternoons, year after year it seems.
And although I don't anticipate Adam Scott going bonkers tomorrow, it is worth noting that he's is only three shots off the lead, and in a similar situation to Moore and Hoffman. If the 6 guys playing behind him play tight, get distracted with whatever is going on within their own collective groups, it's not out of the question that he won't become part of the story.
But Rose, imo, has looked the steadiest through three rounds. He's already got a major under his belt, has kept his composure despite whatever the situation this week, and has hit a lot of quality shots over the last three days. His putting has been solid, which is really his make-or-break aspect tomorrow afternoon. I think Justin has the most complete package of all those guys in the lot, and ultimately the guy to beat.
Should be a phenomenal show! And... the Nicklaus segment tomorrow evening on Golf Channel looks like it might be worth watching too.
