How to watch Shriners Children’s Open, Round 2: Featured Groups, live scores, tee times, TV times

Here are nine tidbits from the third round of the 50th RBC Heritage that gamers can use tomorrow, this weekend or down the road. Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina plays to 7,099 yards (Par-71). Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V For the second non-major event in a row Ian Poulter is playing from the final group on Sunday. For the second non-major event in a row, he’s posted a bogey-free round on Saturday. His 67 this week wasn’t as good as 65 at GCH but you get the point. He entered the final round in Houston with a streak of 41 holes in a row without a bogey. He enters Sunday this week a streak of 45 holes in a row without a bogey. He set the pace at 13-under-par 200 and leads by one. Houston Redux Speaking of Houston, Poulter played the final found with 23-year-old Beua Hossler. He will be joined in the final group with another 23-year old as Si Woo Kim, 23, and Luke List will round out the last trio. Unlike Hossler, Kim has won THE PLAYERS Championship and the Wyndham Championship so Poulter will have his work cut out. Kim entered the week 209th in SG: Putting but somehow is fourth this week and leads the field in putts per GIR. Did I mention he made a triple in the second round? Um, yeah. Using the Force I had Luke List as my OAD at the Houston Open so it makes sense that he’s in the mix THIS week. Let’s hope those of you who selected him in the PGA TOUR Fantasy One & Done presented by SERVPRO have a better result than T24. He was the 18th most-selected player this week and backed up his excellent 64 from Friday with 67 on Saturday that included only one bogey. List lost in a playoff to Justin Thomas at the Honda Classic so he’s not going to be intimidated tomorrow. He’s leading the field in SG: Tee to Green. Tartan Army Kevin Kisner already has one tartan sport coat from his win at Colonial and would like to add to his collection. He posted one of the four rounds of 66, lowest of the day, to jump into contention just three shot adrift. He lost here in a playoff to Jim Furyk after he posted a closing round 64 in 2015. The Aiken, S.C., native will have the backing of the galleries tomorrow as he looks to pick up his first win since Colonial last May. Been There, Done That Matt Kuchar is lingering at T9 and just five shots off the lead. He’s familiar with coming from off the pace as this event and winning as that was his winning formula in 2014. He began Sunday four shots behind Luke Donald before posting 64 that included holing a bunker shot on the final hole to avoid a playoff. Running Down a Dream C.T. Pan hasn’t posted a top 10 this season but don’t dismiss the former No. 1 amateur in the world. He has some scars as he went close at The RSM Classic in November of 2016, missing a playoff by a shot. He was in the penultimate group in January 2017 of the Farmers Insurance Open and finished T2. Last summer he was in the third-to-last group at the Travelers Championship before finishing T8. He’s never won as a professional. Moving Day Ryan Moore moved up 17 spots to T9 after his 67. His even-par score on his final nine included a double and a bogey so it could have been special. He only has one final round this season in the 60’s in seven tries this season … Byeong Hun An had one of those rounds of 66 to move up 30 spots to T12. The putter was the key today as he gained almost three strokes on the green. He’s 57th in proximity so he’ll need another big day with the flat stick on Sunday it appears. … It’s never easy to back up a low round with another low round but don’t tell Lucas Glover. He posted 74-65 to make the cut and wasn’t happy with just being around on the weekend as 67 jumped him 21 spots to T12. Like Kisner, the Clemson grad will have a few fans rooting for him Sunday as he looks to improve on his season-best finish of T7 (CIMB Classic). Moving Day: Wrong Way 54-hole leader Bryson DeChambeau birdied the first hole and looked to be on his way to padding his lead. After a TRIPLE on the next hole, he allowed plenty of guys to recalibrate and begin their chase. It looked like he righted the ship after birdies on Nos. 10 and 11 but two doubles on his final six holes had “The Scientist” scratching his head. He eventually signed for 75 and sits seven shots off the lead. Sadly for gamers and scientists, what goes up must come down. Study Hall … The last five winners have all been three shots or MORE behind in the final round. #Play72. … Wesley Bryan kept the defending champion’s tradition of making the cut alive. The last defending champ to miss was Davis Love, III in 1993. Bryan won’t join Boo Weekley in defending as he’ll begin Sunday 11 shots off the lead. … World No. 1 Dustin Johnson went the wrong way with 72 on Saturday to drop to T45. … Jonas Blixt and Kevin Streelman joined Poulter in signing bogey-free cards. They all shot 67.

Dustin Johnson fires a final-round 65, the best of the week, to lap the field at the Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua, moving from 25th to second in the FedExCup. Welcome to the Monday Finish, where we are still struggling to blink as we stare at Johnson’s incredible near albatross in Maui. Here are some observations after Johnson solidified his place at the top of the world with a commanding eight-shot win at the Sentry TOC. FIVE OBSERVATIONS 1. Johnson’s power has always been scary, but scarier still is how he has developed finesse and precision, drilling down on his wedge game and tidying up around the greens. We’re seeing the results. His putting, greatly improved, still comes and goes, but he didn’t have a single three-putt at the Sentry, and his pair of eagles on the 430-yard, par-4 12th on the weekend further illustrate his greatness. The first came with a wedge from 72 yards, the second with a nuked driver that bounded onto the green and stopped just inches from going in. He says he feels unbeatable at his best. He might be right. 2. One of the oft-used superlatives for Johnson has been consistent. At Kapalua, he ran his win streak to 11 seasons with at least one victory since his rookie year in 2008. Only Tiger Woods with 18 victories has won more than Johnson (17) in that time span. But lately the better term for D.J. is dominant. His romp at Kapalua, the biggest blowout on TOUR since Jordan Spieth also won by eight at the 2016 Sentry TOC, was Johnson’s eighth win since the start of 2016. He said before the tournament that he could envision a monster season with seven, eight or even nine victories. Given what happened at the Plantation Course, Johnson could indeed be on the verge of that kind of year.    3. Jon Rahm (69, 16-under) was trying to become the third first-timer, after Daniel Chopra (2008) and Sergio Garcia (2002), to win the Sentry TOC since it moved to Kapalua in ’99. As it was, Rahm’s solo second-place finish marked his fourth runner-up on TOUR (and second to Johnson), further suggesting Rahm is on the fast track to greatness. It took Johnson a few years to learn to harness his talents; might Rahm be on a similar trajectory? If so, who will have the better career, Rahm, 23, who has one win, or Johnson, 33, who has 17? 4. Pat Perez’s T4 finish puts him in pole position in the FedExCup. His performance at the Sentry marked his third top-five finish in five starts this season, and suggests still feels like he’s playing with the house money after surviving 2016 shoulder surgery. “I definitely know my game better,� Perez, 41, said for an upcoming feature on PGATOUR.com. “But the short game has definitely gotten a lot better. I don’t know how many shots I’ve picked up over the last year and a half.� At Kapalua, Perez hit 80 percent of the fairways (T1) and was +1.283 in strokes gained putting, third best. 5. At a career-high 12th in the Official World Golf Ranking, Marc Leishman continues to impress as he builds towards becoming one of the top 10. The Australian led the tournament through the first two rounds only to struggle mightily in round three to a 76. It was an ugly Saturday, particularly on the greens, but to his credit he shot a 6-under 67 on Sunday, one of only two bogey-free rounds on the day (Hideki Matsuyama, 66) to finish T7. Don’t be surprised if Leishman adds a fourth PGA TOUR title soon – the Farmers Insurance Open is one event to pencil for this guy. FIVE INSIGHTS 1. Johnson tied Ernie Els for the most eagles in a career at Kapalua (eight), but missed tying another record. After making his only bogey of the final round at the par-3 11th hole, Johnson’s 430-yard drive at the 12th stopped inches from the cup, leading to a tap-in eagle. Andrew Magee is the only player to ace a par-4 in TOUR history, doing so at the 332-yard 17th hole at the 2001 Waste Management Phoenix Open. 2. Johnson’s statistical line makes for pretty impressive reading. Strokes gained: off the tee: +8.902 (1st); strokes gained: tee to green: +13.989 (1st); strokes gained: approach the green: +2.777 (1st); strokes gained: around the green: +2.310 (4th); strokes gained: putting: +2.894 (6th). In other words, your basic demolition derby. 3. Brian Harman (72, solo third) now has four top-10 finishes in four starts this season. And as if that weren’t reason enough for good cheer, Harman’s alma mater, Georgia, made it to college football’s National Championship game against Alabama. 4. Rickie Fowler (70, T4) finished 10 behind the winner, but he has finished in the top four of both his starts this season, after a runner-up at the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in early November. And his line at the Sentry TOC (T6 in 2013, 5th 2016, T4 2018) also seems to suggest he’s heading in the right direction. 5. Strange but true: In registering yet another top-10 finish, Jordan Spieth (69, -12, solo ninth) put together his worst result at Kaplua. In three previous starts at the Sentry TOC, the 2016 champion hadn’t finished out of the top three.   TOP THREE VIDEOS
