Intriguing 3rd round, exceptionally difficult conditions and only 7 players under par now. Scottie still leads the way even though he made 4 bogeys on the back 9. Smith was back to his best and Im played well again. Lowry threw it away on the back 9 with some terrible wedge shots, usually his strong point and Schwartzel ran out of steam too. I've backed both Scottie and Smith so don't mind which one wins but Smith would get me more so come on the Aussie. Only worry as has happened to me before is that they both shoot over par and Im shoots a 67 and wins ! Should come down to a shootout on the back 9 and bound to be plenty of nerves flying around as none of the 3 have won a major yet, even though Scottie is World number 1 and absolutely flying and Smith has just won the Players. Pour a glass of something soothing and sit back and enjoy (hopefully).

Yeah,
Hopefully Smith, who came runner up last year.
As you say, the last 9 will call it.

It's happened so often that someone has a run and steals it whilst the leaders are busy watching each other. Conditions won't be easy and it's easy to melt under pressure, some big names lurking for that opportunity...
 
Smith also birdies the 2nd whilst Scheffler can only par........ lead down to 1
 
Scheffler chips in on 3 for birdie, smith has a testing 15 footer for par, could be a 2 shot swing....... close but no cigar..... 3 shot lead
 
I'm no golf fan, but the Sky commentators seem to be really trying to big this up, when it seems to me that the leader is looking very secure.

I recognise that Smith is an Aussie and as such has challenges, but does he have that hair and tache for a bet?

Yes, he had grown it for a bet with his mates but decided to keep it going there afterwards.

l’m sure it’s costing him millions in loss of sponsorship.

Unfortunately, Smithy dogged it again.
Brilliant work by McIvoy to shoot 64 and equal the course record.
Well done to Scheffler to win it.
