Video Transcript
Michael Thor Bjornsson, 11 under.
Will he be one of the players to make a move?
You mentioned the, the- Easy, easy, easy.
AJ Jakovich has been instrumental in helping him with aim point.
He is on point there.
Is he gonna be the man that makes a move today?
How good is this Sunday gonna be for the final round of the Rocket Classic?
Final group has just teed off moments ago.
54-hole leader Davis Riley from deep on the first.
Michael Brennan, the closest chaser, from a similar distance, to answer right back.
You gotta be kidding me.
Oh.
Birdie, birdie.
Let's go.
As you expect, a little bit right of the flag.
That's- Yeah, that's pretty good there from that position.
Yeah, it's a good play.
I think it's one he can take a chance on here.
Flights it down.
Think it might need to get down just a bit.
That needs to rip.
Okay.
Good spot.
Hanging at the third green, Hoygaard inside 25 feet.
Yeah, coming up the slope here.
Oh.
That'll do.
All right.
How about it?
That'll take care of some business.
And guys, just to throw one more variable of this rain.
Brennan pours it in.
Great stroke.
Oh, what a beautiful shot there by Schauffele, and he's got a chance to get to 13.
A shot here over the right-hand side.
Green kind of opens up in here.
I think is gonna be pretty simple for him here.
Oh.
Oh, eagle!
Simple indeed.
Birdie attempt right here to get it to 13.
Within three of Michael Brennan and Xander Schauffele.
He's trying to make that run.
At the eighth, Xander Schauffele nearly drove the green.
This is his second.
And Xander will have that left to go to 14.
Now Michael Brennan.
Oh.
Well, this is quick left, guys.
That's out of bounds, fence.
Hits the tree on the left-hand side and kicks out of bounds.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, playing his third.
This one left as well.
Fore left!
Fore left.
That is very fortunate to stay in bounds there.
Went through that same tree without catching the limbs, though.
Michael Kim to toss his hat in the ring.
This will get him to 14 under.
Michael Kim making it happen.
Five-way tie for the lead.
Here's that aforementioned Xander Schauffele, joining the group at 14 under.
And this from 63 yards.
A lot of acceleration through that.
Should have some spin.
Yeah.
In.
Coming in.
How about in the cup?
Some Matsuyama magic in Motown.
Will make six at best, John Morgan.
Yeah, this will be an amazing double, a very fortunate double if he can slot this in, 'cause that second drive, his third t- his third shot nearly went out of bounds, too.
Well- Get in there.
That is another birdie for Schauffele.
Just underneath it.
He's got to hoist this up very high.
No green to work with.
Got to bail out right at this flag.
Oh.
That was a great shot from there, guys.
That was so difficult.
To eight.
The easiest hole on the golf course, the drivable eighth.
With a nearly impossible stance.
He's fallen back in the bunker a couple of times, and this is brilliant.
Oh.
This would be the mega bounce back after double at seven.
Yeah, hit it out of bounds.
Nearly hit two out of bounds.
To 10.
And Thorbjorn Olesen.
Driver off the tee.
Much less club in here, and this is right at it.
Looks beautiful.
Oh.
Oh, is it ever.
Stay right there.
Beautiful approach shot.
Leaves it below the hole about six feet.
Chance for a piece of the lead.
Yes.
Oh, and he does, too.
Playoffs looming.
He's outside the top hundred, so this could go a long way in the right direction.
She went to using a metronome in the last month or so.
Get the tempo up.
Beautiful there.
Some people count, one, two at the back, three at the hit.
He can roll it, that's for sure.
One of the hallmarks of his game.
As I think all the players and caddies have thoroughly enjoyed their walk around this golf course this week.
And like you say, the big story is 7 and 17, gone from two easiest holes to two really brutally tough par fours.
Seven yards closer than Brennan was.
Holy cow.
Yeah, that's nice there.
Controlled the spin beautifully.
Just past hole high.
And now Hoygaard.
Longest of the three, that is a lob wedge.
Got a lot of speed 'cause he had a lot of spin.
Leaves that one below the hole.
Now Hoagard for birdie.
His week got off to a nasty start here, Colt, with a three putt Thursday morning.
No three putt there, Dottie.
Finds the middle and now finds himself alone at the top of the leaderboard.
Nothing huge.
You know, he told Amanda yesterday he's trying to be nicer to himself, and after that start, Dottie- this is a really impressive fight back.
It does, and a guy who's trying to fight for his job.
Will get an ace on 15.
I like that call with the front right hole location.
Here's Thorbjrnksen at 12.
Oh, and he's got it.
Birdies at two of his last three holes, and the 24-year-old moves to within one.
Just such an incredible shot.
You see how he got that ball to land so nice and softly?
I thought he had nothing over there.
This is just incredible.
Oh.
So just like that.
Can tap it down afterwards.
Can tap it down before with the rules when they were changed.
Oh.
Third shot here at 14 for Thorbjrnnsen.
Get in, get in, get in, get in.
Oh.
Excellent.
Lovely touch.
To 14.
Chance to make a splash here, Schauffele.
Find the hole!
Get in.
Find the hole.
Oh.
Get in.
Consistency with the putter not quite what it was.
And the three-time All-American at Stanford now takes the lead.
And of course, if you followed Stanford golf, their most famous player, Tiger Woods, he won three times in Michigan.
Looked like a pretty full rip.
It did.
Oh.
It's gonna come back a little bit.
And that's a great shot from Thorbjrnnsen.
Let's go.
A chance to increase his lead here at the par three.
Got it.
Yes, he does.
Thorbjrnnsen to 17 under.
Well, time to pull the trigger on this, this one for Davis Riley.
This group has been waiting a while.
Into it.
Oh.
Turning left.
Yeah, superb.
Reason why group in front played this hole one over, two pars and a bogey.
Made one 20 feet longer than this yesterday on 17.
Get going.
What a hip movement for Riley- but it goes in.
Let's go.
And he is only a solitary shot behind.
Beautiful strike, and it is going right at the center of the green.
This is perfect.
Really smart shot there by Thorbjrnnsen.
So, so impressive from the young man.
That is 17 out of 18 greens in regulation.
Oh.
Yes!
What a putt.
And that might do it for Thorbjrnnsen.
What a way to finish.
Talk about putting an exclamation point on a round.
Bogey-free 63.
Ties his career low round on the PGA Tour.
What a putt.
Yeah.
His 26th putt of the day.
Yeah.
And it could be one that he'll replay for the rest of his life.
Did fire that right side through well.
So from the pitcher's mound to the green, but it's gonna be a man who has a baseball grip who's victorious today, and- Thorbjrnnsen with the 63.
Schauffele in second, Riley in third, Hoagard and Matsuyama with Wallace and Ventura round out the top five.
