Tomorrow, no matter what happens behind him the rest of today.
At 12 is Koeven.
Oh, my goodness.
He has taken a huge rip at this from 309.
Is it enough?
Oh, my God.
Look at this.
Is it ever.
309.
And it cozies up to about 10 feet from the cup.
To face in that final round.
Here's Koeven, one of those who'll have to fend off.
This for eagle and for the lead, and yes, he does indeed.
Leapfrog the seven leaders, stretched the lead to two.
This one is quick, breaking hard right to left as well at the end.
Yeah.
Oh, yes, sir, Johnson.
Jackson Koeven with another one.
That mover at 16.
And Koeven set to go.
Oh, and this is another bullet here.
Took a little bit off of that, Cole.
This is on such a good line.
Ooh.
Oh, my goodness.
Lands it into the hill, kills the speed, and that bounces up to about 12 feet.
Yeah, works on his putting with Paul DiSanzo at Scottie Cameron, said his stroke reminds him of a combination of Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas.
That's pretty good company to be in.
But just misses right there, but that'll be another birdie for Koeven.
Now 11 under par in his last 20 holes.
Great arm, Plaz.
Good try.
Let's hear it!
Get in the hole.
This is to the moon and right at it.
It's a laser.
Oh.
Oh, what a shot.
Baby, baby, one more, baby.
And that was Johnny Miller like.
It's a pretty picture.
Just walked it in, 18 under.
Counteract his natural draw.
This much higher.
Started center, drawing towards it.
Yeah, it's got a good line on it.
And it's upper shelf.
He's got that for eagle and for 28.
Wow.
Program, here's the putt for eagle.
Yeah.
Come on now, turn.
Turn for history.
