So there is going to be a playoff tomorrow i am guessing. 

Leaderboard is pretty bunched and if conditions stay similar low scores and more guys are going to be going low catching up.

Well, I am a 3.1 index... and my course handicap on the Stadium Course is a 9.     (from the TPC Tees).

I havent seen slope ratings like that on one course ever. we play 130 slope from the white tees at my home course and that is solid in my opinion. from memory the course rating from the tips at Sawgrass is 76 point something, so in order for me to shoot my handicap I have to shoot 76.. that is unreal for me

These are the scorecards from the courses I play most of the year;  the slopes and ratings seem pretty comparable to the stadium course.

A couple of Aussies towards the top of the leaderboard, including my boy Min Woo Lee.

Im pumped for the final round tomorrow

Anyone else realize that MWL had driver ball speeds of 190 plus... he isn't a huge guy but man does he hit it well. Fun to watch him and between him and Scottie today should be an epic and fun finish.

What time of day for you will they be finishing up?

[GolfSpy_APH]

The Rahm WD certainly stings. and Rory MC sucks. I had JT as well so could have been much worse, but I still have Homa and Scottie.

I heard about the ball speed at the Broadcast wrap up!  He not that big of a guy either!

Watched him at the Victorian Open that he won a few years ago (co sanctioned European Tour at the time) Stunning how far he hit the ball, was even more slight then, looked like he needed to run around to get wet in the shower

Yup, he’s going to have a nice career.  He ears his post game interview last night and sounds like a nice kid.

Who does everyone think pulls out the win? Will it go to a playoff? 

Can't understate how excited I am!

Scottie is tough but MWL is also.  Going to be interesting especially 17 if it’s really close.

Scheffler looks tuned in, but maybe cocky enough to put one or 2 in the water along the way?

I'm looking forward to the finish. So many sitting a few strokes off the pace with the windy conditions could be fun. I like watching all the ties and the putts that end up being worth $300k.

Scheff game looks aggressive off the tee which is fun.

MWL using that iron off the tee a bunch and reaching 160 ball speed with it! So good.

Could be a fireworks finish with Hatton sitting there a few shots back but in the clubhouse.

Yup, Hatton is creeping into the conversation with a-12 in the clubhouse.

MW Lee is winning the mustache competition as well, which I appreciate.

A huge win for Scottie in tough conditions!!  He's on the move again this year, and not betting against him for a Masters defense!

Tough conditions is right.  Terrell Hatton gave him something to think about.
