Very good take on Bryson here…

With the leaderboard so bunched it will force everyone to have a mindset of attack today. Xander, who’s playing the best, has to go, a very good mindset for him. Who knows but what we do know is that there’s a great day’s golf ahead Golf Channel Sky Sports Golf

Perfect weather with very light winds and a soft course again for the last day. Xander the most impressive statistically so far through the bag this week and he’s the one I’m fancying among a congested leaderboard Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

No more rain, light winds and a very soft golf course can only lead to one thing over the weekend, a likely race towards 20 under par. Enjoy what will be spectacular golf… Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

He’s a helluva teammate and would do anything to help the show….including trying to demonstrate a shot on live TV while knowing it was not a particular strength of his… that takes next level commitment and courage :) can’t help but love him.

Bad call from me on the scoring today as the world’s best proved just why they’re the best. There were a number of reasons as to why scoring was so low particularly the disappointing softness of the greens. How effective is sub air at these courses. ? Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

Scottie’s stats are some of the best ever recorded, he leads in 32 statistical categories on PGAT this season & also leads in ball striking over the last 3 seasons in Major Championships. Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

Weather forecasted to be great today. Scoring likely to be decent but not exceptional as this is one of the longest courses on the Major Rota of courses. It also has some of the smallest greens & is set up today with tough pins. Enjoy…. Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

Viktor Hovland last season from Bay Hill through the Tour Championship:

*4th in SG tee to green
*6th in fairway proximity
*7th in SG approach

This season:
*122nd in SG tee to green
*56th in fairway proximity
*81st in SG approach

ICYMI, we got word from multiple people this afternoon that Hovland and Joe Mayo have started working together again, and were spotted in Vegas grinding early in the week. Will be fun to see if it clicks at Valhalla.

The former Ryder Cup captain thinks it could be Rory McIlroy's time to finally end his Major drought

Agree Michael and to add context on how difficult it is for PGA Pros playing in this Major Championship against the games very best - in the last 30 years his 15th place finish last year was the only top 30 finish from over 150 of the top PGA Pros who have competed 💪👏

Final numbers on the 13 holes where Rory hit driver today.

10/13 fairways (one first cut)
Shortest: 313 yards
Longest: 358 yards
Average distance: 333 yards
Average ball speed: 188 mph
Strokes gained: off the tee: 2.99 (inc. the 5 wood he hit).

One of the great driving days

The fairways are very narrow & tree lined at Quail and to see both stripe the driver so long, as well as shaped just a little both ways, takes serious skill & commitment - skills that only a few have - sit back and admire 💪Sky Sports Golf

Great battle going on with Xander & Rory on a brilliant course - both needing to win for different confidence reasons as we go into next weeks Major Sky Sports Golf

RIP a very nice man who always had words of encouragement for me in both my golf career & TV work

This company that Rory now sits in should frame a perspective on what he has achieved in the game so far. Yes there is a 10 year battle going on to get over the line again in Majors but his career to date is one of the greatest the game has ever seen 👏💪

Great win for the lads and not unexpected - Shane’s ball striking stats at the Masters were terrific and Rory seemed re-energised again in Shane’s company 🏆💪☘️
