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 in the present day and to complete off like Scottie did [five under through the final five holes], that simply would not occur round Quail Hole – a minimum of 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 in the present day was extra like what we noticed the final two years, the place he was going loopy and profitable every little thing. It is what motivates the very best within the recreation, going face to face towards their friends.
It has been a bit of bit shocking to see Rory [McIlroy] come out this week and be a bit on the flat facet, nevertheless it’s not shocking to see Scottie come out with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder.
He is saying, ‘everyone has been speaking in regards to the world No 2, once I’m world No 1 and know the way good I’m’. He is displaying us all that. He is certainly one of these gamers you’ll dream about being for sooner or later, a lot much less one week or one 12 months.
Who might chase him down on Sunday? It’ll take one thing other-worldly.
These two gamers [Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau] sit 5 and 6 pictures off the lead respectively, so that they must exit and shoot a 64 – on the very least – and hope that Scottie would not go on the market and get snug early in his spherical.
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 try this.
Scottie proper now’s in full movement, similar to he was on the CJ Cup Byron Nelson just a few weeks in the past when he gained by eight.
He would not give the chasing pack a complete lot of hope, and for us watching there would not appear to be something that may make us suppose he’s susceptible going into the ultimate spherical.
He has obtained higher and higher each spherical and I anticipate Scottie to go on the market tomorrow with the identical mindset, step on the fuel and look to get six forward as rapidly as he can.
Scheffler ‘wanting ahead’ to remaining spherical problem
Scottie Scheffler, talking to the media after his six-under third spherical 65:
“It [winning] would mean a lot. These tournaments are very important to us and you work your whole life to have a chance to win major tournaments, any tournament for that matter.
“Tomorrow I have a good opportunity to go out there and try and win the golf tournament, but it’s going to take another really good round. There’s a lot of great players chasing me on the leaderboard and someone is going to put up a great round.
“It is as much as me to go on the market and have one other actually good spherical and end off the event – I am wanting ahead to the problem.”
