Mar 16, 2024
Jim Furyk this was earlier today this was his second shot on 10 absolutely incredible he made the turn on 27 but decided it wasn't enough so he went to 10. he drove it in the fairway and hit that approach shot this would be for a fifth birdie in a row he needed a 66 on Friday just to make the cut on the number that many people began to follow him when he made that great gallery on the par 311 back nine 158 yards downhill on the 11th. Always the smart play side of the hole and then for the sixth consecutive birdie on the hole at this point had to look like a basket and then on the short 12th again in the fairway this is just a short iron approach here on the 12th.

Front hole location and another good one there and then for a seventh consecutive birdie now he's thinking I've got a par five next oh my goodness he opted to take a break on par 513 here's his third now you can see the water hazard right in front of the green and This is the strength of his game here, playing to his strength, but it's not the best shooting wedge game, it's usually the best part of his game. He didn't want to risk spinning it around in the water again. Here he is for birdie for the eighth in a row. birdie, all good things must come to an end, but that culminated a stretch on the 12th hole, 11 under par through 11 holes, he would make it for par and then on the 14th and always putting the ball in the fairway where he can have short sticks in their hands. and spinning the ball helps you attack these flag clubs and a great look at another birdie so close to par 415 manageable just a soft driver really a lot of players have hit it here this week at meg eagle which actually had a bit of a landing Unfortunate on the soft spot right in front of the green, but one of the best in the business at getting the ball up and down around the greens, this is where it was really easy.

I had to go through a couple of levels here, through a swamp on the green. smile and then all the way to the back left they just shot this chip a little too hard. I know he had to be a little disappointed with that to get to 11 under par. I don't think I can believe how that horseshoe was so good. shot well on the par 3 16th could I get one that didn't fall to 15 149 yards? There is some slope there. I thought he was going to back up closer to the hole. It was not so. He stayed there, but then he went up and put in a beautiful rod, an even better shot for his 10th birdie of the day right in the middle too, so he's 12 under par for his round of 59, the all-time record. of the pga tour, a record he shared coming into the day, this is always a dangerous tee shot here on 17, but his position looked like it was a hybrid that he hit there trying to find the fairway, his iron play obviously had been excellent all day, find the fairway and then that gives you a chance to attack and he knows it at this point the second shot over the water gave him a little more because of that water in front and he ends up on level top, it's on the top level there, so I have to be thinking, there's no chance there.

Bertie's long attempt to go 13 under par in his round, he read it pretty well, but that left him over three feet short of par here, he had backed away three different times looking at this short putt, then he got up and just wrapped it right in no. problem, a little move, he did it, that's why he took a while, you know you can see his body language, you know now on the 18th, a par would give him the all-time birdie record for a 57. there was made a bogey. This hole the day before we thought with that reaction that maybe he didn't like it, maybe he loved it, I think he knew it was straight, maybe he didn't hit it right in the middle of the club face, but it was pretty good, a little bit dry. mouth, can you blame him for going down in history? second shot it's a nine iron you want to keep it under the hole here i didn't want to go too far he left that putt for a 57. he started the day 16 shots behind leader daniel berger who had this putt to get to three how good was this putt here, i mean perfect speed he just didn't turn and now just make sure you take one last look just a 58 and he knew it and that guy has seen some of the best golf in a generation mike fluff cowan with the hug and a 58 for jim
