Highlights | Round 3 | ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP | 2024

Ricky Fowler began the third round four back on the second for birdie. He's been putting with this new putter so well Just hangs in on the low end Fowler at nine under par Justin Thomas in the final group trying to make a Statement on the first well and a statement he made right out of the gates Flags this thing just two guys at 11 under one back and Nico at Chevrolet a Thomas to become a co-leader on to Yeah, what a dream start for JT Birdie birdie right out of the gate and living right on the fourth his second shot. Yeah, definitely some luck involved here I mean for this ball to skip up over it's about an 18 inch Little ledge to get up and over not only that coming out of the rough with that ball Knuckling for it to skip like that very very fortunate for JT Thomas all he can do is smile so far in round number three had just bogeyed the fourth when we heard Craig say was an up and down for bogey Responds on the fifth Those are the nice ones when you're struggling a little bit you got the nerves going about a F a birdie Some t-shirt that he hit there Bogey in the previous hole Up to seven is Ricky for the birdie With perfect speed and he's been doing that all week and that putter looks good Well birdies should have a bit of movement to it It's nice 2023 pretty simple pitch here when you'd expect to get very close Yeah, exactly that Craig tap in birdie for Nico here. Let's catch up with Ricky Fowler Flag hunting on the eighth This is one of those the last scoring holes here in the next five or so So taking advantage of the eighth is key and he's able to do that And not much in this because it's so fast. So probably has to start it just outside, right? Beautiful Ricky start to make his move at ten under three back of a chevrolet Green tilted back towards you here. It's just 99 yards for Nico This one is carrying deep. Is it gonna spin back? Nicely done by the leader. Yeah, very steep there You can see that big divot puts a little bit extra spin on he uses that slope This is Grayson a second at the nine One player out of twelve has found the green for the right rough So it's just that was crucial that he wasn't in the long stuff there Chevrolet a two-shot lead coming into the third round and he's once again to clear the rest of the field at the Zozo championship Hasn't played since the BMW championship. So it was the first time he's taken that lengthy of a break without being injured And maybe it was a good thing Longest hole at Nerishino Country Club 616 yard par 5 Nate Lashley this pin today up on a crown in that back left tough to get it close With a wedge in your hand judged nicely Lashley one of the hot rounds going on the front side 5 under 29 looking for his first birdie on the back Takes care of business on the par 5 Lashley 6 under on the round 7 iron here for Nikko And if it's the right club gonna be pretty good This is what he's done all week leading the field strokes gain approach and another beauty at the night Gently downhill moving slightly left around the hole good chance He really is in good form he's got to keep it going now, that's the key And looks to be the right number Yeah, perfect judge of distance. That'll be a sneaky little right to left putt but Especially with the difficult powerful is coming up Three under on the day 13 under for the week to back of a chevrolet Takumi can I a man who's won seven times on the Japan Golf Tour including a few weeks ago the a C and championship So close to going in This pin kind of in the front right corner something just below the hole be ideal anything right it's trouble Gracerman trickle to the intermediate cut at 12 a little sawed-off finish Just bring this in a little low protect against going long Yeah, just up above the hole that It's 300 on the round with the bogey This would be probably the most important if he could make this one to the wise decision down the hill breaking, right? It's gonna be his second bogey of the day, but after he made a bogey at the fourth Could be a two-stroke swing here. Yeah, but he went on a tear after he made his bogey in the front night. So Yeah, he's got it It was Edging ahead with a comfortable lead and now they are tied at 14 under cruise up to the closing hole What a day for Nate Lashley It's another circle on the card and he gets it Ashley wake up Sunday with a chance to win the Zozo championship. Thanks to a 63 here's where Fowler ended up on the 14th his third. Yeah much easier from that rough. You can kind of get something tumbling. That's pretty well done Below the hole there. He's got about eight ten feet Fowler staring down a birdie putt on 14 Yeah, that's one of those up-and-downs where it kind of almost takes two good shots to get up and in from there Well done from Ricky and he's got a nice little chance here as well Bull sitting nicely in the down but on the down slope And this was hit much better and launched way up in the air Got a chance to get to the front. Oh, it does Beautiful shot the height he was able to get off that down slope and Max Grayson coming back down the green at 15 for birdie Quick Much like Ricky Fowler needed two good shots to get up and down. I think it takes two good putts from here one great one 78 feet the distance But he does look rather calm over it Thomas to 15 under par 137 the love slope pretty accessible flag here Tom He's got an online from that up slope. It's the right number Really goes down and gets these balls, especially the short irons doesn't he Craig? Yeah We'll stay at 15 on the phone Pretty good place to be playing from the line looks pretty clean. Just kind of tumble it back there Pretty well done Get up there Fowler on the 18th green Long putt across the green here. Just trying to get down in two in all honesty or down in one What a finish. I mean that didn't look like a birdie the entire hole What a round of this racer man six under 64 24 to the front. This is obviously plenty of club Starts in the middle of green but cutting Good as that from a chevron Well, we said the only way to get close to this pin is to hit a big time And that's exactly what he did there Clear down the way need to release Not bad, but he would have liked a little bit of less stress Maybe the first putt that makeable putt that he's missed all week, right? Think of the one little timid effort at the 12th when he hits such a good shot in there. I think those two You may reflect back on Began this third round and the final group Facing the former world number one leading by two. He'll walk off the 18th green the lead to Thanks for watching the PJ tour on YouTube watch another video, right? here
