Norard on the T at four. Did you say earlier that there was going to be some action? Well, it’s back there to where you can land it and let it chase out and just this thing is rolling like a putt. I mean, this thing looks gorgeous. Only question is, would it go in and it did for a hole in one to two underpar? And no reaction. Didn’t even see it. Decent little club twirl. Be right back. Well, it’s getting better all the time. Is it going to be another one? Oh, yes, there is. Matt Coocher with a hole in one. That’s two on the day. Norard and now Coocher have ace the fourth. You got to love it. On the next hole 11 narrow fairway, reachable par five. If these guys miss the fairway with doing the rough, might not be able to get there in two later this afternoon. Rough dries out. catch a decent lie. Easily can get there in two. So little differences like that beauty there from Sheamus. Best shot of the day so far on 10. This is Sam Ryder’s two under already. That’s right. My man Sam Ryder off to hot start. Look, he needs it. Big week for him. Nothing to fall back on. Back against the wall. Who knows? Could this be the week Sam Ryder gets his first win? Let’s check back in with Sam Ryder putting to get to three under through four. Mhm. Sam Ryder, one of the few guys on the PGA Tour with more commercials than wins. Like Matt said, you cannot miss this. To the left. There’s plenty of room to the right. What a shot, man. This guy’s dialed in right now. I mean, easily could be two under through three right now. Really looking to get his feet under him here. Rasmus. Couple of nice saves early. Uh-huh. There we go. Rasmus this year. It’s He’s their parents favorite. Um, no room long needed. Oh, that’s beautiful right there. That’s just conservatively aggressive. A very aggressive line. Your second shot at 18 for Eric Cole, who’s made nine birdies today. Tied for his most in any round on the PGA Tour. We got one more hole to to better that here, Justin. Let’s see. I like our chances. I really like our chances. I really really like our chances. Eric call. Ladies and gentlemen, our tracing technology is provided by Trackman Max. Beauty. There’s a quality golf shot. [Applause] See a hole in one here earlier. I’m not calling it hole in one this swing. I’m just saying we did see one earlier. Maybe though. Gorgeous. Let’s go back to five and JT Poston with 44T 11 in for Eagle downhill back up the hill about right here and then back downhill right there and then about 6 in downhill on the last rotation. [Music] Our Trackman technology is presented by Titus, the number one ball in golf. That was a pretty darn good Trackman, too. Big cut, one hop into the flag stick. And I’ve been talking about this whole location being easy to get to, but it’s actually playing as the hardest hole in the golf course. There’s a big collection area if you get past this hole location. Hard to get up and down. There’s another one of those that’s looked rolling in. You’re taking aim at that hole. A moment ago, his second at 18. Normally a pretty tough hole location on the back right, but given that it’s downwind, players are taking dead aim. Dead aim is right from Harry Higs as we go back down to the ground. And Todd Lewis, I think he’s got one of the most balanced, beautiful golf swings in professional golf. What a shot there from Eric. PGA Tour you number one coming out of University of North Carolina. He’ll be exempt next season as well on the PGA Tour. But like Lud Lud Vgoberg did out of that category, he won the RSM Classic in the fall. This is his cap wedge here. He can max this out. Oh, that’s good teamwork and good execution. I mean, I love hearing Max Homo talk shots. Now Ford for his birdie at the 10th from just off the green. Really good spot to putt from up the hill. Just a little bit of break from his right to left. And he uses the side door. Little fist pump on a Thursday. Lots of green to work with where he missed this green. The only par five that’s playing downwind today. Garrick was third here three years ago when McKenzie Hughes won in a playoff. He was one shot out of that playoff. Now he’s tied for the lead. Wonderful ball striker. Drives it on a string. Iron plays great. I just want him to break out so badly. Steven Joerger on the tea at the par 416. What in the world are we seeing? Way back there. Jagger is just two of the worst drives you’ll ever see in a PJ tour player. You get a little aggressive and you go through the fairway here. That swamp is on the left hand side. Easy. That is going up the lefth hand side. It’s going to be it’s going to be good now, I believe. Oh, he got away with one there. Wow. What a four this would be. No doubt. Done there by Steven. Uh he was off. He was in a different county off the T. Pretty much straight at this. Maybe one yard right. It should be within 10 ft. That was a nice little trappy shot from Min Woo. Great distance control. You kind of trap it. You hit down on it. You get a a lot of spin as you saw. These must be moving to his right slightly up the hill. Oh. Whoa. Oh, it did. It slowed down. Five under par. Max Homer now and it’s tie for fifth. All right, Todd. Thank you. Moment ago, Cumins. Boy, is this any good. That was what Walker was looking to do. Oh, and he made it. I mean, I think made a little bit easier being out of the rough that he had a little fluff underneath it, but that was unbelievably difficult. Putt’s been a little bit slower than players think. Oh, not that time. Well read, well judged. Gordon Sergeant [Music] very similar line as Rio’s just left of the hole. Yeah, two good ones. Absolutely. Oh man, he’s looking to just continue maybe a little bonus nine. Just keep going around. He doesn’t want to stop. Danny Walker to seven under par and there are four men now at top the leaderboard. Had a little bit of wind there midway through the round which made it a little bit more difficult. Uh I love seeing golf with a little bit of breeze in difficult conditions. Not sure we’re going to see that this week. Thanks for watching the PGA Tour. To watch more, click here. To subscribe, click here.
