2002 PGA Championship winner Wealthy Beem displays on Scottie Scheffler’s sensational third-round 65 at Quail Hole and ponders whether or not anybody can cease the world No 1 from closing out one other main success…
It was an unimaginable spherical at this time and to complete off like Scottie did [five under through the final five holes], that simply does not occur round Quail Hole – at the very least not for regular gamers!
As we all know although, Scottie is something however regular.
After his bogey at 13, there was the eagle at 14, birdie at 15, the missed birdie at 16 after which birdies once more at 17 and 18 – you possibly can’t write a greater script than that going into the ultimate spherical.
What we noticed at this time was extra like what we noticed the final two years, the place he was going loopy and profitable all the pieces. It is what motivates the very best within the sport, going face to face in opposition to their friends.
It has been a bit bit shocking to see Rory [McIlroy] come out this week and be a bit on the flat aspect, however it’s not shocking to see Scottie come out with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder.
Highlights from the third spherical of the PGA Championship at Quail Hole as Scottie Scheffler took a commanding lead after firing a formidable six-under-par 65.
He is saying, ‘everyone has been speaking in regards to the world No 2, once I’m world No 1 and understand how good I’m’. He is exhibiting us all that. He is one in all these gamers you’ll dream about being for at some point, a lot much less one week or one yr.
Who may chase him down on Sunday? It should take one thing other-worldly.
These two gamers [Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau] sit 5 and 6 pictures off the lead respectively, in order that they must exit and shoot a 64 – on the very least – and hope that Scottie does not go on the market and get comfy early in his spherical.
Highlights of Bryson DeChambeau’s third spherical of the PGA Championship, the place he dropped pictures late on to accept a two-under 69.
Sure, they’ve an opportunity, however it’s important to get Scottie out of his consolation zone. I am unsure what golf course or what circumstances do this.
Scottie proper now could be in full move, similar to he was on the CJ Cup Byron Nelson a number of weeks in the past when he received by eight.
Can Scottie Scheffler safe a fifteenth PGA Tour title and third main success?
He does not give the chasing pack an entire lot of hope, and for us watching there does not appear to be something that may make us assume he’s susceptible going into the ultimate spherical.
He has bought higher and higher each spherical and I anticipate Scottie to go on the market tomorrow with the identical mindset, step on the gasoline and look to get six forward as shortly as he can.
Scheffler ‘wanting ahead’ to ultimate spherical problem
Scottie Scheffler, talking to the media after his six-under third spherical 65:
“It [winning] would imply rather a lot. These tournaments are crucial to us and you’re employed your entire life to have an opportunity to win main tournaments, any match for that matter.
