Not so good today:
Streels went +4 in the last five holes and is at -5, T55.
Adam Long went +1 for -6 and T50.
Justin Thomas shot even par and is T36.
All three of these guys dropped significantly on the leaderboard.
Webb Simpson holding his own, finishing at -3 and T13.
Finau and Morikawa both missed the cuts. They were mortal locks for the top ten IMHO (where the H got lost in Ben Hogan's golf bag).

Wow. Was that weird to watch roll in an eagle putt on 18 and have essentially no reaction. No roar from the crowd, nothing from DJ. Just a long putt that rolled in and pushed him to -22.
Team Green:
1 Dustin Johnson
T34 Justin Thomas
T51 Patrick Reed
T55 Kevin Streelman
I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

I mean... if my three highest value players were not utter disasters, i would be in great shape heading into the final round. Sigh...
Morikawa - cut
DeChambeau - cut
Finau - cut
Hatton - 9th
Berger - 5th
Ancer - cut
Palmer - 15th
By the way, for all the folks who have Finau. He is currently projected to drop to 28th in the FedEx Cup standings. He will need at least a decent showing next week to stay in the top 30 and qualify for the Tour Championship. Yikes! Adam Long (25th) and Kevin Streelman (26th) are also in some danger of not making the Tour Championship.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Team Rich has been renamed "DJ and the Thirty-Fours."
I have DJ at 1 and three guys T34 at -7 (plus one missed cut).

DJ out in 30 and everyone playing for 2nd, at this point.
"Amazing what a minute can do."
I can't find the lowest score for PGA tournament events...
Stricker doesn't really count, as it was the first 72 holes of 1 90-hole tournament. Ernie Els' total score was not as low as DJ's 'cuz the Mercedes event in Hawaii was ona par 73 course. This is from some random web site, so other sources may be needed:
Steve Stricker
The player with the best all-time 72-hole score of 33-under par, Steve Stricker, didn't do well enough in the last 18 holes to secure his victory against Pat Perez, who scored 30-under par (another top score) in the first 72 holes.
Ernie Els
However, the player with the best score in a single 72-hole PGA Tournament (that isn't played past 72 holes) is Ernie Els, who scored 31-under par at the 2003 Mercedes Championship.
Jordan Spieth
During the 2016 Hyundai Tournament of Championship, Jordan Spieth scored 30-under in another tournament of the same length, making him and Ernie Els the only two golfers in Tour history to finish at 30-under or better in Tour tournaments.

Congrats to rsvman for winning the first leg of the playoffs! I was going back and forth between DJ and Webb for 7, and so far it looks like I made the wrong call. When DJ wins he has another gear that other players can't seem to match. Super impressive domination from him.

Or am I mathematically out of the competition already?
Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!
