Emergency 9: Fort Worth Invitational, Round 3

Emergency 9 Here are nine tidbits from the third round of the Fort Worth Invitational that gamers can use tomorrow, this weekend or down the road. Colonial Country Club is the longest-serving host on TOUR (1946) and plays 7,209 yards to a Par-70. Pain or Gain These were the top-10 picked golfers in the PGA TOUR Fantasy One & Done presented by SERVPRO: The hot temperatures led to the lowest scoring-round total for the week and those with the earlier tee times took advantage. Looking at the table above, only Koepka and Rahm improved on their positions from Round 2, with Rahm making the biggest jump. With a very similar forecast on the cards tomorrow, I’d expect similar scoring conditions but it might not matter as well as Justin Rose is playing. Four Shots Clear The only blemish on the Round 3 scorecard for 36-hole leader Justin Rose was a square on No. 16 that trimmed his five-shot lead down to four. Koepka will join Rose in the final pairing tomorrow and we’ll see if he can put any pressure on the world’s No. 5 player. Rose continued his stellar play as he only squared one bogey for the third consecutive round as he posted 14-under-par 196. He doesn’t have any “others” on his card either. The last Sunday round he signed for was 66 at THE PLAYERS. One more of those and he’ll win comfortably. His last TOUR win saw another premium player blow a large lead. Dustin Johnson led by six heading into the final round at the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions but Rose fired 67 in that final round to post his only win of this season. Separated After toasting TPC Sawgrass for 63 on Sunday two weeks ago, Brooks Koepka signaled he was ready for action. After his 63 in Round 2 this week, any doubts should be thrown out the window. He trails by four and has had to sign for two double bogeys this week. He’s made as many birdies as Rose (T2 for the week) but he knows he’ll have to make plenty more tomorrow. This should be a great duel in the Texas sun. Gree-LOW It says it right there in the pronunciation of Emiliano Grillo’s name: Low. Maybe GO LOW tomorROW? He had a chance in the final group in Round 3 to put pressure on the classy Englishman as he began play one back. He lost the two-ball by three shots and now is tied with Koepka for second. He’ll have a different partner for the final round as Corey Conners, the Canadian rookie who fired the co-low round of the day (63), will be riding shotgun. His lowest final round this season was 66 on Sunday at The Honda Classic. Uno Mas Jon Rahm reintroduced himself to the chase after 64 in Round 3 but sits six shots adrift heading into Sunday (T4). His final round 66 in his debut last year saw him claim T2 but I’ll be interested to see if he pins his ears back and tries to chase Rose down. His final round scoring average is 71.44 so it’s going to take something from the top drawer but I believe he has that extra gear. Nothing to Lose J.T. Poston has quietly rattled off eight consecutive rounds in the 60’s over his last three events and his bogey-free 65 has him in the four-way logjam for T4. His only top 10 in 13 previous start was T4 after a final round 66 in Las Vegas last fall. Sitting at No. 113 in the FEC standings, a top 10 would be a very nice bump on Sunday. Moving Day Nobody falls in and out of love quicker than I do with Louis Oosthuizen and I’m paying the price this week. His 64 vaulted him 30 spots up the board to T4 after 71 in Round 2. He’s T4 in scrambling for the week and will probably need to make at least seven more birdies Sunday to get into the mix. … Ted Potter, Jr., shared the low round of the day honors with Conners as his 63 saw him make up the biggest ground. Potter began the round T51 but after signing for seven birdies without a bogey or worse he found himself T9 at the end of play. The AT&T Pebble Beach champion has now rattled off four paydays in a row on TOUR. Moving Day: Wrong Way Bryson DeChambeau started T6, birdied his first two holes and looked to be on his way to chasing down the leaders. His final 16 holes were played in 3 over and didn’t include a par-breaker. He dropped 25 spots to T31 and will need something lower than 65 to crack the top 10. … Jordan Spieth is still trying to get out of third gear this season. On a day where plenty of low scores were to be had, the 2016 champ and podium regular at this event was stuck in reverse. Beginning the day T23, a low one could have stuck him in the rear-view mirror of the leaders but a level-par round of 70 saw him drop to T38, 11 shots back. Study Hall The easiest scoring conditions of the week were in Round 3 as the field averaged 68.462 (-1.538), easily surpassing the 69.760 from Round 1. … I’ve been tracking Strokes Gained: Putting numbers all week for the top five or so after each round. The top eight players after Saturday consist of two players in the top 20 in this category, Grillo (2nd) and Koepka (11th). There were six bogey-free rounds in Round 3 and all players posted 66 or lower… Brian Harman leads the field with 18 birdies and has snuck into the top 10 (T9) entering Sunday. … Gamers with an eye on the future will notice Rory McIlroy and Francesco Molinari will be the final pairing at Wentworth tomorrow for the BMW PGA Championship on the European Tour.

Is Tiger Woods playing the ultimate setup gameIs Tiger Woods playing the ultimate setup game

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. – Tiger Woods is brilliant. In this case, it is not because he has 79 PGA TOUR wins. Not because of the 14 major championships or the two FedExCups. Or the record 683 weeks as world No.1. But because he might just be setting up one of the greatest stings of all-time. The new Woods we’ve seen in the last couple of years. This friendly advice-giving cat… Is it just one of the greatest setups ever? Is he using this inopportune back injury as an opportunity to lull the new generation into a false sense of security? We are on to you, Tiger. Sure, we haven’t seen the trademarked Tiger Woods steely stare in some time. You know the one. The one that stands the hair up on the back of your neck. The one that makes elite golfers panic and try too hard and ultimately fail against him. Instead, Woods has been extra friendly with the young stars of today. Starting with Rory McIlroy and Jason Day and now continuing on with the likes of Justin Thomas, Daniel Berger and Rickie Fowler. He shared a plane with Thomas to Los Angeles this week. Shared a plane! Berger waxed lyrical on Woods and the help he’s given to a lot of young stars. “I’ve heard from other guys he wasn’t that open in the past, but I just think he’s at a stage of his career where he wants to help out the younger guys and that’s really cool,â€� the two-time TOUR winner said. “Obviously to be in the presence of greatness – when he talks you listen. The things he says are pretty simple and that’s easy to learn from. He’s great.â€� This is the same guy who you thought might walk right past Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els or Sergio Garcia if they were literally on fire back in his heyday such was his insular focus. But now we know what this new Woods is about. Keep your friends close – and your enemies closer. None of us knew, including Woods himself, if his latest comeback would be successful. But a top-25 result at the Farmers Insurance Open has everyone buzzing. The plan is working… The young stars of today never played in the Tiger era of dominance. They rely on highlights on PGATOUR.com and YouTube. But highlights don’t show the whole picture. “The hardest thing for people to understand who weren’t out here when Tiger was at the peak of his powers is how much of an aura he carried with him,â€� fellow Masters and PLAYERS champion Adam Scott says. “It wasn’t just if you were playing with him – if you look at the records of guys playing with him in last groups of tournaments, most guys shot 78 – but he could have been four holes away and his name pops up on a leaderboard and the leaders see it and start playing poorly. “No doubt in my mind Tiger worked all those little bits of gamesmanship and also he knew he was intimidating to people and he’d play up on that. Tiger has always been very friendly to me but at the right moment he wouldn’t say hello.â€� That’s right. Not even a hello. But the blank stare. The game face. The beauty of it was that it was his attitude was so intense that Woods didn’t always have to beat you. You beat yourself. “The intimidation with Tiger was he never lost when he was leading on Sunday, so he made you feel like you had to play some heroic round,â€� former U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy says. “Golf has always been difficult when you feel like you have to play well. Good rounds come out organically, they just turn up, but if you force golf, it doesn’t usually happen for you. “There was this aura or this feel that you had to do something really special and then usually you do something worse because you were trying too hard.â€� When we asked Woods how he thought the younger generation – who he has befriended – would react to competitive down-the-stretch Tiger, he immediately grinned that Cheshire cat grin of his. “I don’t care how they react,â€� he beamed. “I’m trying to win a tournament. I’m sure they’ll feel the same way, but it’s winning time. “Once I get into contention, I can handle myself. I just need to get there.â€� We knew it! You ARE setting them up for a sting! While it is unlikely it would happen this week – just given Woods’ poor record at Riviera – it just might. And if not here… the weeks to come look even more tantalizing. For the record, Thomas is loving his relationship with Woods. He will play with him in the opening two rounds this week at the Genesis Open, along with McIlroy. When the possibility of Woods turning “nastyâ€� on him was raised, the FedExCup champ hoped it wouldn’t be a successful operation. “I would like to think I am a little more mature than that and I have been there enough now that I’d be pretty comfortable with that and I hope I am not fazed by something like that,â€� Thomas said. “Hopefully it happens soon, and we will know.â€� Yes. Hopefully very soon.

Winner’s Bag: Daniel BergerWinner’s Bag: Daniel Berger

Daniel Berger came from three shots back during the final round to defend his FedEx St. Jude Classic title. Berger notched his first PGA TOUR win last season at TPC Southwind as a member of TaylorMade’s Tour staff before departing at the end of last year to join Callaway Golf.  When he was unveiled as Callaway’s newest staffer, Berger noted that he joined the company “because of the equipment. And more than anything I wanted to play the new Epic driver.” Berger’s Epic driver played an important role during his second TOUR win in Memphis. He finished second in the field in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee (plus-4.612) and averaged 293.5 yards (T19) with the 10.5-degree head.  “I like to hit a lot of shapes (off the tee),” Berger said during a recent Callaway Fitting Room podcast. “I like to hit cuts, I like to hit draws, I like to hit balls high, I like to hit balls low, so I need a driver that’s very versatile and has the ability to do all of those things.” Berger plays the standard GBB Epic driver that features a redesigned track housing a 17-gram sliding weight that can be positioned in the heel or toe to produce a draw or fade. Berger’s weight setup is in the neutral position.  Here’s a look at the rest of Berger’s Callaway equipment setup.  Driver: Callaway GBB Epic (Fujikura Pro Tour Spec 53X shaft), 10.5 degrees 3-wood: Callaway GBB Epic (UST Mamiya Elements Chrome 7F5T shaft), 15 degrees Irons: Callaway Apex CF ’16 (3-4; True Temper Project X 6.5 shafts), Callaway Apex Pro ’16 (5-iron; True Temper Project X 6.5 shaft), Callaway MB1 (6-PW; True Temper Project X 6.5 shafts) Wedges: Callaway Mack Daddy Forged (50-10, 56-10 and 58-08 degrees; True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts) Putter: Odyssey Versa 2-Ball Ball: Callaway Chrome Soft PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE: Buy equipment here

Poulter delivers to win Houston Open and get in MastersPoulter delivers to win Houston Open and get in Masters

HUMBLE, Texas — Ian Poulter made a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole to force a playoff and won the Houston Open on the first extra hole with a par to earn the last spot in the Masters. One week after Poulter was mistakenly told he had locked up a spot at Augusta National through the world ranking, he left no doubt by winning in clutch fashion over PGA TOUR rookie Beau Hossler. The 42-year-old Poulter closed with a 5-under 67 for his third PGA Tour win and second in the United States. Hossler, who also shot 67, ran off four straight birdies on the back nine to take a one-shot lead going to the final hole. In the playoff, his shot from a greenside bunker flew over the green and into the water, and he made triple bogey.
