This course might be the easiest I can ever remember for a major. Of course the rain and soft conditions have a lot to do with that but the PGA is always set up easier than the Open. There are going to be lots of birdies today.
Should be 3 birdies in a row to star this round for Tiger. Great start!
Yeah Tiger is starting great, but Brooks looks like he's on point with every shot. Tiger won't catch him if he doesn't start really faultering.

Crazy that Tiger has never come back to win a major when trailing after 54 holes. If he could do that today it would be the biggest story in sports in a long time. Koepka did make some bogeys yesterday on the back 9 so its certainly possible that the pressure could get to him but its hard to not love his chances right now.

He's actually looked a little off on holes 2 and 3. We shall see.
Tiger's swing looks so perfect with his irons but he is late with his driver. No way he can come back and win unless he starts hitting the driver in the fairway.
Yikes. Tiger is just horrific with the driver right now. It's in his head.

Yep. But, talk about some amazing scrambling. I think its going to take 13 under or better so he is going to have to have a great back 9.

Yeah he was -3 on the front nine and didn't hit a single fairway. That's crazy.

Just hit a perfect first shot with the driver on 10. Let's see if he can get it going on the back.

I have no clue how you can make 4 birdies in 9 holes without hitting a fairway. Pretty incredible and fun to watch
I just don't see how Brooks loses this. Any time he makes a bad shot, he bounces right back on the next swing with a perfect shot to recover.

Yup. Seems very unlikely that he will blow this. He just doesnt seem like he has that choke factor.
If not for a putt that stopped on the lip Tiger would be tied right now. Remarkable.

Brooks slipping a little with a missed short birdie putt. Tied at -14 with Scott. Tiger 2 back after bogeying 14.
