Relying on another joke, he said it wasn’t so short that “I can hear it land”.īut he said he had a lot of work to do on his health and playing against the best in golf was still a long way off.īryson DeChambeau started the third round with a one-stroke lead and it got off to a quick start. “I can hit it,” he said on the NBC booth during the tournament. Woods wasn’t quite ready to commit to it, and a return to the PGA Tour remained just as uncertain as when he spoke to the media earlier in the week. The tournament organizers have reserved a place for him on the field. He spent another day hitting balls, this time with a driver, fueling speculation that 10 months after his car crash that severely damaged his right leg, he could do it in two weeks at the PNC Championship with his son. Shortly after Morikawa completed the opening hole of the final group, a dozen spectators lingered and walked to the back of Albany’s training ground to watch someone who isn’t in. I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing and if I don’t feel comfortable on a tee shot maybe replay, but overall I feel really good about the game so far. “I’m playing with my strengths and that’s what I have to stick to. “It’s not like I’m playing crazy or stupid,” he said. He just won a rally on Sunday in Dubai to win the DP World Championship, making him the first American to be the No.1 player on the European Tour. Morikawa was 18 and under 198 as he tried to win his second straight start. Despite this, only 24 other players have reached No.1 since the rankings began in 1986. Morikawa would remain at the top of the table with a win, but only for a week on the basis of the two-year rolling formula. “Just keep doing what I’m doing, play well and hope for the best,” Koepka said. He was bogeyless the rest of the way for a 69 which at least put him in the final group. Koepka fell back with a soft chip that didn’t climb the slope at the eighth par-3 and led to a double bogey. And then he shifted to another gear with a series of smart shots that he executed perfectly, a few par putts to keep the momentum going and a save through the bunker on the last hole to keep his distance.
His 10-foot birdie putt on the ninth hole gave him the advantage. Morikawa scored for the eagle on the third par-5 hole. So I hope we can take advantage of it tomorrow. But when you do, you want to take advantage of it.
“You like being in these places and you don’t get them every week,” Morikawa said. With an 8-under-64 – the first bogey-less round of the week – Morikawa has taken a big step towards reaching world No. Morikawa split Albany Golf Club to build a five-stroke lead on Saturday over Brooks Koepka, and too many pursuers disappeared with a string of mistakes that made just one more win inevitable for Morikawa. NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) – Tiger Woods has joined the broadcast booth for his Hero World Challenge, and what he saw of Collin Morikawa must sound familiar.
