    What just happened on 8? Saw him hit it over the green and I switch over for a few minutes and when I come back to it he’s putting for a double bogey?!

    Seems like he bladed his second shot 20 yards past the hole. Didn't see it either, relying on the PGA shot tracker.

    Absolutely. Too often he carries the dropped shots to the next hole.

    Big bonus birdie on 18. Puts him right in the mix for tomorrow. 63 with a very stupid double bogey thrown in

    Well that was a great way to finish the round. Hole a 40 footer for birdie and a pretty decent 63. ;)

    Amazing how quiet this thread is now after a 63! What a player he is, hopefully finishes the job now tonight.

    McIlroy and Rose in the final group. Hopefully will be exciting. 10 players within 4 shots too.

    If he won he'd be in prime position for that huge Fedex Cup payout going into the final event - not that the fecker needs the money.

    Good to see himself, Rose, Molinari, Rahm, Casey and Fleetwood in good fom coming up to the Ryder Cup though. Poulter playing decently as well, though it doesn't look like he'll make the TC.

    Looking beyond the smug remarks from both sides of the arguments that have gone on, even if he doesn't finish the job, it's positive to see his wedge game has definitely improved.

    Yes, huge improvement. I hope it means he has ironed out whatever kink was causing the misses; if that is the case, then we could be in for a treat over the next while.

    Doesn't look good for any golf today. Don't know if they will go to a Monday finish or call it after 54.

    Poulter said in Thursday interview he didn’t actually care about making it to Atlanta. Gives him two weeks rest and practice for his main objective this year and that is the Ryder cup

    He's a good way outside the top thirty. It would take an absolute stonking round to get in there.

    I've criticized him on this thread and I root for him to win every time he tees it up. I'm delighted to see him in with a chance to win. I think it's ridiculous that people think he shouldn't be criticized.

    Btw his chipping seems to have improved.. perhaps he has been reading the criticism on this thread. If so.. delighted to help Rors.

    I'm kinda reluctant to think this could be the corenr turned. It's definitely an improvement and is looking a bit more consistent. But consistency is only proven over time and I don't think we're there yet. The next few weeks will be very high pressure, so if his game holds up over that period, we could be in for a treat.

    His world ranking has him easily in them all next year anyway.

    I'd assume it was technique rather than anything mental, so would hope that pressure wouldn't come into it...then again I guess he could revert to "normal" technique under pressure...hopefully our 'arry is fully away of what to look out for and can keep him on track.

    Playing well today but can’t buy a birdie. Just stitched it at 10 so hopefully that’ll kick start a good back 9. He’ll be one back when he taps this in.

    -2.3 strokes gained putting. Compare that to Billy Ho on +2.6.
    Big difference there.

    Still plenty time to get something going considering.
