Yeah, he made really good contact there.
That is beautiful.
Hello, there you go.
That's the way you start your day.
An eagle for Adam Scott out of the
fairway bunker. And also,
putting seems to be easier here too,
Trevor. That is 6 iron away for
Paulson. Talked about Svensson playing so well.
Kevin Roy for Eagle at 18
playing in that same group.
And here's a three.
What around a golf he has put on so
far today, his second at the 1st.
Now he started off a ball of fire right here.
Beautiful control there.
Well, then. Got his day started with a birdie,
then his third at the 7th.
Really awkward spot to be over the screen,
but look at that touch.
There was five straight birdies,
then another birdie at the 9th to go out in 28th.
My goodness, one of the hardest holes.
There it is. Time for the lead.
Kurt Kittiyama patients
tucked there on the front.
He gets paid out of there,
help him stop this golf ball.
Yeah, well, it's Kurt Kittiyama today,
so you know it's not a problem.
Instead, it's in the bunker.
Carry this quite a ways.
See that upslope there he did just that.
Super. Now he'll have that putt so
glad to have you with us on Golf
Channel Kurt Kittiyama for another
birdie at 16 to get to 11 under par
for the round Steve two holes left.
It's only a par 71 and 18 is a
reachable par 5 normally a hole.
You gotta be a little careful on,
but after this tee shot you can
go into attack mode.
Probably the easiest win for this shot.
Just a lob wedge left.
Another one that starts off just left of it.
Now fading if it spins, it's good.
No, it does. It was close so close.
So that's the second 60 of the week.
What around for Kurt Kittiyama?
Look at all those circles everywhere.
Cutie left side of the fairway of the
first just under 80 yards, 79 yards for Pearson.
Oh, just the start he needed cookie.
Absolutely sitting duck this pin right here.
That is the spot to putt from
the back to back birdies for Akshay.
Coming off a rare bogey back at the 3rd,
see if he can bounce back here.
Pretty simple putt just
moving a little to his left.
Yep, yet to make a par in
the four holes has got her up.
Sam Stevens.
Maybe that'll jumpstart a special round for Sam.
Playing straight downwind today.
Confidence big time confidence
there called my shot.
You're right, I owe it is pedal
to the metal all day today.
That is 7 iron trying to fade into
this back right hole location.
Open season on flagsticks.
Those two shots my goodness.
Alex Noren for Birdie to get to 13 at 9.
Matched up the line and speed
and Noren has a little momentum.
This was a moment ago at the 8th Sukumi Kanaya.
What a start he has had to this moving
day around already four under par
in his round of golf today.
How about another birdie 5 under
through 8 holes on the front?
Awesome, beautiful shot.
Been playing really solid this year.
Just a little chip sandwich from 87 yards.
Oh, that's how you do it right there.
No back on a string.
Beautiful tapping birdie coming up as
we go to the overnight leader on
Friday at the 6th or Bjorn Olesen
forced to lay up here at the par 5.
His third.
Dottie Pepper will be with this
group today on these glorious
conditions uphill with minimal break.
Needs pace though I had pace too.
At 9, here's Kanaya.
And Jim, this is where he really shines
around the greens is his skill set.
We're not kidding almost
while it rolls around the Cup.
It's great off the downslope.
The better holes.
Wow, wow, that was a bonus from there.
What a brilliant shot that was.
Chris got her up football field away here.
This rough actually might help this.
Reduces the spin.
He could pass for a football
player and that's a great shot.
He's already made a few birdies
already has got her about in 31.
And succeeds again, great three.
With the extra point a little later,
but very straight birdie pipe
up the hill for Alex Norin.
This is tracking DA. Nice.
Alex Norin with an unprobable
birdie after the tee shot.
Here he goes again.
Six under for the day that familiar
anti left rehearsal for Alex
Norin as he steps in.
125 few yards closer and right behind
the whole spins it back beautifully.
Beautifully going to have right
around 3 1⁄2 four feet.
Raised right there at that same.
Wonderful course and club.
Let's go to 11 and Sam Stevens
long attempt for birdie. Always made it.
For birdie. Beautiful.
That's his 7th birdie of the day.
Playing alongside Chris got up.
You see his coins still there where he marked.
Yes, he's made another one.
6 birdies today along with
the double at the night.
Well, from the right side of the
fairway to a tucked right pin.
When desisted, receptive hole location.
First time in a while to play
some offense with wedge.
Yes, and he's done it, Mark.
Not bad inside 10 feet for Kaniyia.
Strong kid going to need that
strength here through that thickness.
12 yards. Oh yeah, he's got all the shots,
doesn't he? Well, it was
for a little while, Frank.
To tie.
Flating this one down as well.
Great. And at long last.
Birdie time for nap now Stevens here at 13.
It's made several really good putts today,
and this looks good. Frank added to the list.
Olsen he's going to go with one less.
Trying to make another one.
Oh, that is the same club.
Very much part of this movie like his idol,
Thomas Bjorn is at the Open Championship
Senior Open at Sunningdale this week.
Yeah, he's really started
the huge Danish impact.
At 18 to get to 18.
And resides alone.
The pinnacle of the leaderboard.
Not super busy. So yeah,
that would make a lot of sense.
So that one of the statistics that Ron
Kloss puts out each week for us.
Come on now. There you go.
Wasn't a bad iron shot after all.
Let's go to 17.
Unusual swing gets a little laid off and
across the line at the same time that
is a laser offensive and rips it straight
at the flag. Can we get another one?
Big standard trees 14.
All of them.
Same numbers pitching wedge.
Spin right down the slope.
Alright, good chance.
Could he finally break that
five way tie at the top?
Jake nap with a birdie at 14.
Yes, he can. The 14th hole
yielding a lot of birdies today.
That's 20 birdies at the 14th.
It's a spin back and threatened.
Someone used the word earlier syrupy
and that was absolutely the
right description of that shot.
First, but was like coastal
100 feet away for Eagle.
I want to put that is.
Where's he had that amazing rally last week?
Run it out. Oh yeah,
he started the day with 11 straight paws.
It was just.
Now should try to come back.
Excellent, excellent all the way.
Jake now recovers the drop shot at 17.
Is able to get 67 out of this with.
Five birdies over the last seven holes.
It's just the storylines are rich.
Laments there many of them.
Yeah, it's going to be a shootout.
Similar weather conditions going to be
a lot of birdies available for these players.
21 guys within five.
