Scott once again takes three from the front of a par-four hole. This time it costs him a shot at 5. He drops back to -7. Bogey for Dustin Johnson at 6, cancelling out his early birdie at 2; he’s -6. Louis Oosthuizen has been going the wrong way: bogeys at 4 and 5 and he’s -5. And also heading backwards: Jon Rahm, who has seven pars and a bogey at 4 to his name today. He’s -4.
Webb Simpson’s ball in mid-flight. “Please be good, darling,” he implores in his gentle North Carolina drawl. (Hello Neal, hello Brenda, love to you both.) It’s good all right. His second whipped from 170 yards to 15 feet. He’ll have yet another birdie opportunity. This one slips by, though only by inches. Still, a birdie up the last, and he’ll be matching the course-record 63 of Nick Price (1986) and Greg Norman (1996).
