Here are nine tidbits from the third round of A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier gamers can use tomorrow, this weekend or down the road. The Old White TPC at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia hosts for the eighth time and measures 7,287 yards and plays to Par-70. Know Thy Enemy These were the top-10 selected golfers in the PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf game presented by SERVPRO. With temperatures in dipping into the 70’s the breeze blowing, The Old White TPC showed its teeth, to a degree, in Round 3. After giving up a round of 61 in the first two rounds the lowest total on moving day was just 65. The track and the greens both firmed up nicely and there’s hardly a wonder why the top 10 was turned upside down. The Final Pairing Kelly Kraft has never held the 36-hole lead before and now he’s never lost it. He’ll want to forget he played the three holes in two-over par as he saw his three-shot lead evaporate as he shares the 54-hole lead. The good news is he finished the day in red numbers (69) and he’s 13-under on the Par-4 holes. He’ll be playing alongside another looking for win No. 1 on TOUR, Harold Varner, III, so that should help both of them relax. Varner’s last bogey was 39 holes ago as he posted 66 after 64 in Round 2 to share the lead. The last time we checked in with Varner he was putting all four rounds under-par at TPC Sawgrass for T7, his only top 10 of the year. He’ll be looking to join the first-timers club in the winner’s circle tomorrow. He closed with 67 last year in much different circumstances. Na-ht Out of It Kevin Na backed up his 63 in Round 2 with the co-low round of the day, 65, in Round 3 and sits just one back of the lead. He’ll have no problem stalking two players who have never won as he looks to pick up his first win since 2011. He closed with 61 at Trinity Forest for solo fourth at the AT&T Byron Nelson in May and his only top 10 here was posting 65 in 2012. Country Roads, Take Me Home Bubba Watson isn’t worried about stats or trends and shouldn’t be as well as he’s playing. He’s never led this week so he can join the previous seven winners in keeping that streak alive if he does the business tomorrow. He matched the low round of the day on Saturday with 65 as he led the field in SG: off the tee, tee to green, driving distance and proximity. He fired 63 on Sunday his last time out to win the Travelers so I’m not going to be surprised with another low one tomorrow! Mountain Climbing Tony Finau is looking to keep up his momentum going at The Old White TPC. His worst round of 11 is 69 and his best is 66 so I’m not surprised with his trio of 67’s this week. His third one of 2018 moved him up 10 spots to T14 as he looks to best his T7 from last year. He was second to Watson in the first three categories listed above and third in proximity. He’ll need to make a few tomorrow to get back into the top 10. I’m not betting against him as he’s T4 in birdies for the week. The Defending Champ All the talk of coming from behind to win is great but I’ll also point out that nobody has successfully defended either. Xander Schauffele doesn’t care about any stats or streaks as he became the first rookie to win The TOUR Championship last year. He’ll gladly take his chances on a course he loves as his 65 today pushes his two-year total to 27-under in seven rounds. Moving Day For the second week in a row Bronson Burgoon has forced himself into the conversation with a big round on Saturday. And for the second Saturday running it’s a 65 on Par-70 layout that’s put him in the mix. Last week he backed it up with 67 for his first top-10 TOUR finish and a trip to Carnoustie. He’ll have to feel like he’s playing with house money on Sunday as he moved up 24 spots, the most into the top 10. … J.T. Poston went out early and posted the first 65 of the as he jumped 42 spots to T18. … Brandon Harkins continues to rumble as well as his 66 leapfrogged 39 players to T21. Moving Day: Wrong Way Webb Simpson (T2) and Whee Kim (T5) both shared the worst round of the day with matching 76’s. Simpson dropped 28 spots to T30 while Kim plummeted 43 spots to T48. Simpson’s rough day affected more gamers than Kim’s to say the least. … The next step for cut-maker extraordinaire Tyler Duncan is putting together two solid WEEKEND rounds. He’s made nine cuts in a row but he dropped 52 places from T8 to T60 after 75 Saturday. I’ll keep reminding everyone that he’s a rookie playing his 26th event. Study Hall Saturday’s scoring average was the most difficult of the week but still played under-par at 69.753 (-0.247). Round 1 was 69.340 (-0.660) and Round 2 went lower at 68.636 (-1.364) before the correction in Round 3. … Varner has the cleanest card of week so far with just two bogeys and zero others. … Ollie Schniederjans (T14) has circled the most birdies thus far with 19 but has eight bogeys and a double to go with them. … Every player inside the top 10 SG: approach the green is in the top 21 save for Simpson. … Every player inside the top 10 SG: putting is T21 or better as well. … Only Varner and John Peterson (T38) played bogey-free golf in Round 3. Check yesterday’s Emergency 9 for more info on Peterson.
Here are nine tidbits from the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship that gamers can use tomorrow, this weekend or down the road. Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte has been the host since the creation of the event in 2003 and plays 7,544 yards to a Par-71. The 2017 WFC was played at Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington, NC. PAIN OR GAIN These were the top-10 picked golfers in the PGA TOUR Fantasy One & Done presented by SERVPRO: What a difference a day makes. Quail Hollow Club played over 220 yards shorter on Saturday and obviously easier than the first two rounds. The top four players listed above turned in an aggregate score of 19 under par and all worked themselves back into contention. The No. 8 player on the list above is sitting pretty. Final Paring Jason Day is looking to match Lucas Glover as the only winner to place all four rounds in the 60’s, as he’ll tee it last with Nick Watney in Round 4. The Aussie matched Friday’s 67 with another in Round 3 to post 10 under par and lead by two. Day hasn’t played this event since 2012 when he collected T9 cash. His win at Torrey Pines earlier this season combined with his three opening rounds (69-67-67) suggests he’ll be ready tomorrow regardless of course setup. Watney has now cashed in 11 consecutive weekends with the best of the bunch T20 his last time out on his own ball at the Valero Texas Open. It will be interesting to see how the once “young, up-and-comer” handles the spotlight in the final group with a major champion. Record Course Racking up seven birdies and an eagle against zero bogeys, Peter Uihlein threw down the gauntlet from the morning group that started at +2. He sent the message to the field that scores were out there and the course was ripe for scoring. I’m calling his 62 the new course record as nobody has posted a lower score since the redesign of the opening holes. The toughest thing to do after posting a low round is backing it up with another one. It’s even tougher on Sundays. He made three birdies in the first two rounds. Caution. Back in the Saddle After breaking a streak of cuts made too long to count at the RBC Heritage, Paul Casey has jumped right back into form this week. He also has posted his first three rounds in the 60’s, but a deeper dive shows his hot club this week is the putter. A ball-striking stud that I’ll be watching to see if the flat stick can keep up the pace as he’ll start Sunday three shots back. Lurking Before the week started, it was near impossible to fade Phil Mickelson as he has collected the second-most cash in this event over the years. It’s almost comical that he hasn’t found a way to finally get his hands on the trophy. He’ll begin Sunday five shots behind but his putter and irons finally fired in Round 3. He led the field in Strokes Gained: Putting and was second in proximity on a day where he signed for a bogey-free 64. Big Boy Golf Most gamers have eyes on Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy each week they’re in the field and this week isn’t any different. McIlroy said after the round he’s not comfortable with his game at the moment. If seven birdies and two bogeys is the downside, I’m riding him all the way to finish line tomorrow. As I wrote yesterday, when he came from behind to win in 2010 he posted 66-62 on the weekend to raise the trophy. His 66 on Saturday is the first part of that exacta. … Woods FINALLY threw up a pair of streaks that looked like he’s making birdies again. He circled three in four holes on the front (Nos. 5 thru 8) before seizing momentum with a turkey on Nos. 13-15 on the inward nine. Of course a three-putt bogey on the final hole brought us all back to reality. He’s T31 and nine shots back and will need something special in Round 4 to justify his selection. Moving Day Canadian Adam Hadwin hasn’t MC in 12 tries this season but gamers haven’t seen him since his last top 25 (T24) at Augusta National. His 65 moved him to T11 as he looks to carry his streak of T24 or better to six consecutive events. … Chesson Hadley will cash for the sixth time in as many events tomorrow evening and will look to extend his streak of T20 or better to five in a row. His 66 moved him up 32 spots to T16. Moving Day: Wrong Way Peter Malnati opened Round 3 in the final group but his 75 dropped him to T16. His best finish in the last two years on TOUR is T18, so he’ll be looking to keep it together for one more round. … Sam Burns needs 80 FedExCup points to gain Special Temporary Status. On the best scoring day of the event he joined Malnati as the only two players inside the top 39 who posted scores in the black on Saturday. He dropped 24 spots to T31 and the pressure on the 21-year-old must be something. He’s been in this column enough to take notice for future endeavors. Study Hall With 87 players making the 36-hole cut, MDF took place after Round 3. The big-name victims included Adam Scott (sigh), Hideki Matsuyama and Keegan Bradley … Round 3 played the easiest of the week at 70.368, down from 72.500 in Round 2. Yet, there were only four, bogey-free rounds, the same amount as Round 2. Talor Gooch (66) and Luke List (67) joined Mickelson and Uihlein in a very elite club. … The winner tomorrow, if not already qualified, will take the final spot in the field of THE PLAYERS Championship next week. … Justin Thomas will become World No. 1 if he can finish T11 or better. He’s T31 after using Rickie Fowler’s putter the last two rounds. Â
