Potentially turning in to a decent finish. Some real birdie oppos over the next few holes and Rahm only one back. Should birdie 14, but so should Scotty.

@sparky and now 1....he will be feeling the heat now, Fitzpatrick 2 more back, but still in the hunt.

Some terrible golf being played, mixed with some brilliance. Matt Fitz and Scheffler inconsistent shot to shot and Rahm just missed a gimme by a mile.

Rahms shat the bed. Putter went cold then taking risky shots chasing.

[MajorPom]

Scheff in complete control now. As long as he avoids the water it’s all his.

Has he what! He’s looking to play at least 4 over final 3 holes. What a melt down

[Canes4life]

Scottie 6 shots ahead now. Completely dominant. This will be his 15th PGA tournament win since his first in 2022. Tiger like dominance.

[sparky]

Scheffler way, way ahead.

[Canes4life]

One hole remaining, almost impossible for him to lose from here.

Scheffler is really good but he is so fucking boring. Just a golfing metronome.

A bit like the Saders in golf form. Boring as hell, but they get the job done.

I'm happy Scheffler won. I like it when the champions elevate like that. For his brilliance it felt a bit light that he only had two majors, both at Augusta. So it's good to see him expand and there's IMO a big difference between winning two and winning three.

He's also won a gold medal so needs to win the British Open and US open to do what no golfer has ever done.

I don't mind him being boring, that's just his personality. Better than most golfers these days who seem to throw their toys when things aren't going right.

@mariner4life could say the same of peak Tiger...plus Scheffler got arrested too...

nah Tiger gave you something to get excited about.

[KiwiPie]

How is Scheffler only 28? He seems to have been 35 since he first turned pro.

Quite the collapse for Rahm to drop 5 shots in the final 3 holes.

[taniwharugby]

@mariner4life I misread your post, assumed you meant personality wise, rather than on the course.

[taniwharugby]

Foxy tied for lead at -14 at the Canadian Open, I think the top 3 get entry to the US Open next week.

[booboo]

Heard him say winning his first the other week has made him relax. Paraphrasing, but he's not afraid of hitting a bad shot any more, because the pressure has gone.

[1kiwi]

Let's go Foxy! Would be awesome to see him pull off another good finish and a ticket to the US Open.

Over in Europe flying the Kiwi flag is Daniel Hillier who is tied for 28th place at the KLM Open in the Netherlands. Hillier is in the Top 10 in the Race to Dubai Rankings and if he can hold onto a Top 10 place in the rankings at the end of the season he will earn himself a PGA Tour Card for 2026.
