Transcript

Yep. Just outside that best. Good turn a little right at the end. Oh, man. It turned a little bit to the right, but it found its way home. And Scottie Scheffler extends his lead now to three with three consecutive birdies. Victor Hovland making another one tier, two out of three. Sungjae M from the fairway, the number six. Well positioned one to again, Michael, one eighteen to the hole. Oh, looks like he may grab another one here. Better shot, Oberg from the fairway. He's gonna love that Jordan Speed. Still has some magic in that short game.
