Aim it right in between those two bunkers in the distance. And we’re off. That’ll do. The depth of the rough isn’t significant. The thickness of it is. Alex Norn for his opening birdie. Did he get it there? Yes. Boy, you thought what a start. A little bit short, just kept creeping and creeping. Great moment in a career. It’ll stand for ever for what he did to four. Gentlemen, good morning. Good to be with you. The first look at the par three fourth 186 yds today. Luke Donald even for his round. He’ll have a good look at birdie this great game. All right. To take the lead on his own. Speedy putt on 13. This with a capital S. It is super fast and it’s leg. It’s a birdie with a capital B. Fast putts and they have to hit a slow one. It’s hard to do it. No to four. It’s after a par at the third. Here’s Alex Norn at the par three fourth. So Norn an excellent look at birdie to tie the lead at two under. Looks like it’s sitting up for Jason Day off the green at 11. Jason Day is one of the players that uses the club around the greens all the time and with such great success. I watched him at the Bears Club one day practice for about four hours. How the players have to trick themselves into believing they can do it sometimes. 11. Another guy who likes to give himself pep talks. John Rom for birdie. Wow. Just right in the middle to get the ball to roll into the middle of the buckets to 13. It’s interesting because it’s a very distinct look to 13 Fleetwood on a fantastic line. Thanks. Thank you. 205 yards. It it not like 15 at Augusta where you just it’s going to roll in. It seems like it could keep you. The PGA have done a nice job on all these slopes off of these greens near the water. They’ve kept the grass long enough that I think it’ll stay there. Nice shot by Phil. I might have broken 80. Luke Donald though. Look at this. European Rder Cup captain still has it at age 47. You saw him yesterday before uh had to contend with shots like this. Yeah, just a delicate little shot right there. Kind of a little stab. No problem. Yep. If there’s anyone that can handle that type of adversity, it’s Scotty Sheffler. Make it from on the short side. He just chopped down on it. Ball came out perfectly. So the world number one gets back to even par. He makes so many of those. Yeah. You almost expect him to at this point. There are no gaps in his game. He He does everything exceptionally well. That’s a nice little get back on track. This was at the second hole. Trev location cut tight to the right there. There’s a ridge that falls off. So that is just spectacular. The apron area at 10 that led to birdie ahead at 12. Back right hole location. Keegan went flag hunting. Also led to a birdie. just needs to dial in the irons. And this one started right on the line they talked about. Just right of it to 13. Captain Bradley coming off birdie leaning left and that’s a great line. Look at that bounce and he puts on the brakes. Keegan, he’s got to just barely carry the bunker out of the rough. Yeah. 100 yards, Andy. 100 yards. That’s He did clear that bunker. Well done. That’s about as well as he could do from there. He actually took a look 20 yards further back to me to see if maybe it was going to be a better option. We talk about advantage long players. That is not the case for Luke to 12. Sam Burns is third. He’s a one under. Sam Burns. That’s one way to do it. Leaning a bit. Perfect. Now it’s perfect. Second for Lowry. 184. and that is on a string. Fantastic from Lowry. Still have that left to stay at three under now. Sheffller’s birdie putt on its way. Scotty Sheffller. So he hasn’t done anything. Chips in to anchor Birdie pulls it from off the infielder. He’s 200 power. Effort from Scotty Sheffller. T-shot kind of through the tree. Could have gone anywhere. Come on. I’m too under. It’s early, but it’s it’s never too early around around these parts, I think, to this is Fox chipping for his par. Looked like a par the whole way. Chipped in to win last week in Myrtle Beach. An exceptional round of golf there. Alex Norin late last week outside Philadelphia. And that’s pretty good. And getting better just by the [Applause] hole. That’s quick. That was a lot of run out. That was a really well landed about 6 ft on the green and just let the slope take care of the rest. And from right there, he’s watching the putt. He’s watching that ball roll, seeing how it’s going to do on his next point guard here from position A. And this hole, Jeff, we talk about the difficulty, but the drive in the fairway. How much of the difficulty does it eliminate? It’s probably the toughest T-shot on the course. And as you can see, Rasmus from the fairway like we saw R just before Shane Lowry for his birdie. that really scratchy start. He’s starting to get into a flow. Two birdies the last four holes. Yeah. Beautiful drive over the left trees. 138. Needs to take it left side of the camera tower. Spin it back toward this hole. Looks like he did it. Now this one might come down. Yeah. Just great execution for John Rom. Uneven performance thus far from Rory to four. I would love to know the average putt length for Shane Lowry because it has been healthy this for Bernie and he makes it. Take that Matt. That was beautiful. And his body language was awesome. To eight. Ryan Fox his second. All right, a good opportunity for Fox to make another birdie. Alex Smallley for a long eagle attempt at the par five seventh up over a little ridge right in this area. It’ll slow down. Oh yes. Oh yes. What a cut 71 ft. Oh my. Oh, do it again. That was absolutely magic. Let’s give the golf course plenty of credit right now. We’ll show you how the 16th took a bite out of them and is playing incredibly difficult. Here’s John Rom here for birdie on five. This man of course is a US Open champion. He’s a Mast’s champion. See, that’s the beauty of Rory Moroy. He does seem to allow 14 shots. By the way, I like the trees, especially as hot as it is, especially when you’re out walking golf courses to 17. He satsune for birdie. Oh, now they’re just going in at 17. The lid’s been lifted and you get a birdie. And you get a birdie. Now Ryan Gerard, born in North Carolina, bitterly disappointed to miss Heinhurst last year. Said he didn’t want to press too hard but was thrilled to be here and he is rolling. said earlier this year after a runner up and from the center of the fairway. [Music] Mentioned a bit earlier a torn hamstring and glute in the winter. Oh, give it to him. Little burglary there. He buries it for an Eagle. That’s the spicy meatball. Max Homer. Ball in the air on a great line. What a start for Max. Let’s go to the drivable Vaner at 14 311 yds. He hit it down through the gap between the bunker and the right hand rough. And this looks really good. Oh, hit softly. Oh, what a shot. What a shot. And we will have an eagle opportunity. Scotty’s second on nine. Another sixiron. The best he’s hit today. That’s as good an approach as we’ve seen on nine. Spectacular from the world’s number one player, Gerard. Really lofted club. Get it on the edge downhill all the way over home. That’s on the move. Gerard. That’s a three. Look at the back nine. Looks like it’s on a perfect line if it’s enough. And it is. What a shot by Victor Owlin. Hideki Matsuyama on the te like speed aiming right trying to work the draw. Good line here. Oh yes, Matsuyama. Meanwhile, here at the sixth, Adam Scott for birdie. Is it going to stay up? Yes, it is. Let’s check in at the action at the 12th. Yes, Tyler Colette is an assistant pro at John’s Island Golf Club. Look at that in Barrow Beach, Florida. JJ Klette here at 13. Slightly uphill. He’s turning towards the flag. Oh, that green is firm. This is great. In he go. [Applause] And another brute here at 18. And Cam Davis is a couple under par. Beautiful line. His ninth hole of the day produces a birdie. 18 playing as the third hardest hole today. So a three is tremendous. Jim, another player struggling here. Third shot for Aaron. Firm green. Oh, look out. Yes. And he knows that would have been passed too. And Windham Clark to get to one under par here. This for Birdie. Just firm up the hill. Pretty straight. That’s what I like to [Applause] see. And Vegas with a delicate touch. Oh my goodness. Almost hit the jackpot. The fairway’s pretty dry. I mean, there’s there’s not a whole lot of moisture as Victor just picks this one off. Say perfectly. Yeah, he just didn’t have that shot. Steve come down through. That’s I love it when you hit a wedge solid. Oh, at six. Birdie putt for Cam Davis to hold the lead all by himself. He curled it right in. If I can jump in your curves, I He just looks like to me he should win it once or twice a year. Do you have any feelings why it’s not happening? Going to need a bit of good fortune. 72 holes of golf. The third for here at three. I’m sorry, Andy. That’s okay. He hit a beautiful shot. Scott, is it going in? Yes, it is. Good call, Van Peasy. We’ve seen a lot of shots held from off the green today. Some bombs. He is looking straight up. This tree is only 30 ft ahead of him at the most. Oh my goodness. I cannot believe he hit that over that tree. Bryson says, “What tree?” That was just a pure strength. There’s there are about two people in the world that can hit the shot that he just hit right there. and the other one named Rory. Had to catch the strike so clean to elevate it that quickly up and over the tree and carry it enough so it finds the front portion of the green. Five. Beautiful approach. Now walk Nean has made his way to the final stretch. A bad day for him. Four over. And that is without question the approach of the day at 16. The par 34th. We saw an ace here earlier in the day from Cole. Boy, beautifully played. Let’s not forget. Let’s go to 14. Tom Kim. Tom Kim with his fourth shot. Put it in the water. [Applause] Speaking of 16 in of the green mile, Justin Thomas from the back of the green. Way down below the level. Justin Thomas. [Applause] Have a look at these hands. This is phenomenal. Of the three birdies, two of them came from off the green. What can you say about Justin Thomas? Like a mircat Kim’s looking for here. He’s done it. And after bit of robbery I think on 14 17. That is interesting. Player staying out of the water I think for the most part at 18. Morawa. Do we have another one? We do. This is pretty amazing. Yeah, maybe you’re right. I I This is Oh, it’s a lot. A lot. [Applause] Just a little right to lefter down the hill. Beautifully done. There you go, Jonathan.
