    Awful bunker shot by Pieters. Mcillroy will only be 2 behind.

    Rory's putting is off. He seems to be over reading the greens - missing on the high side too much.

    Zach Johnson made him look very ordinary out there. Apart from a big drive nothing else doing.

    His wedge play is infuriating. The distances he leaves for putts, I'm happy with that and I don't officially have a handicap (16 was last official)

    In saying that, his drive on 16 must be annoying for him. Hits it well, trickles into divot, forced to lay up. When the luck is out, it's out

    We saw the two sides to him on 16, 322 carry down the middle off the tee (but got unlucky), but that wedge shot was awful. He whiffed it, you could see him give it a bit extra on the follow through, I'd say he thought it was in the water.

    Pieters having a mare on the greens, wouldn't begrudge Hoffman the win.

    Matsuyama was just magnificent tonight. Pure exhibition of the highest quality golf I have seen in a long time. Serious contender for next week.

    3-putt for Spieth from 9 feet but stays 1 clear of DJ.

    What I would give to just putt like speith for one round. He is insanely good.

    Some putting display. Jordan at 17th and DJ on 18th. Playoff.

    That's a ridiculous drive from Johnson on the first playoff hole :O

    That's an absolutely absurd line from DJ. 310 yards of carry

    Pure power followed by a finesse wedge shot. DJ is a tough man to match.

    An idea of the different 18th hole they just played

    Delighted for DJ......... Great display by both players but I'm happy that DJ was able to smoke that drive on the first playoff hole to overpower Spieth. Some distance between the two for their second shots.

    After Jordan's putt on 17 and DJ's drive on 18 I wouldn't have given a fig-leaf for DJ's chances. Serious clutch.

    Curious point from Poults.... Could we not say that Spieth's putting is an advantage over the field too?

    He still had to hit the drive, and you could argue he showed as much skill, if not more with his wedge shot and his putt first tie on 18. The power comes naturally the touch with practice, he deserves a lot of credit for the improvement to his short game over the last few years

    Poults would have been better saying nothing, he just comes across as bitter here.

    The design of this hole is exactly what you would like to see in courses. It doesn't have to be every hole but from time to time a risk reward hole that has such a difference if you are brave and a big hitter is great to see.

    Spieth has a great advantage on the whole field due to his remarkable skill with the putter so its quite fair that another player can take advantage of a different skill when that involves nailing a bomber drive on a brave line to reduce that approach shot to a wedge.
    The wedge still needed to be hit well and its a testament to DJ's game that he hit it with such aplomb.
    Other bombers out there should be taking heed and working on their short game. :P
