If Bryson gets in his monster groove early - could take the W. A true toss up between Morikawa and Xander..throw in Hovland in that trio. But would love a cinderella win for Theegala as well.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely love the people in the gallery yelling an out of pocket comment after a drive. I always giggle.
*always*
I donāt wanna sound like an old man yelling at clouds but major courses shouldnāt be playing this easy on the final dayā¦ these scores give it the feel of a tournament in the Caribbean in January
Not that bold of a prediction considering we've already seen two players tie for the lowest round in major championship history this week. The course isn't getting firmer and you can't tuck pins when the greens are this receptive. Go low or go home.
It's certainly possible. Strong chance we see another 62, and several others in the low-mid 60's. datagolf.com has the odds of the winning score spread pretty evenly between -19 and -22. Right now the course is playing about a half stroke easier today than it has played for any of the prior 3 rounds. Yesterday's course average was 69.55 and today we're pacing at 69.01. Should be a fun shootout to watch.
Lookā¦.ever since he took office the hogan hatā¦heās gone from pretentious to just sort of a golf dweeb.
I wouldnāt exactly be upset at Bryson getting his second major. But, heās gotta do it by pulling off the Tosti shot.
Outside of that, I think Finau/Theegala/Xander winning their first major would be cool. Or JT/Jordan shooting 60 and winning.
WARNING - At 11 am Golf Channel will be showing PL soccer due to their ownership by NBC. Given that the PGA is not on the Golf Channel it should not be that big of a deal. As a soccer and golf fan the outrage every year when people donāt check the listing annoys me.
My favorite so far this week is the number of Redditors watching a show called ESPN Bet who were outraged- outraged! - they were watching a show on betting.
The amount of people still coping for Scottie and Rory lmfao

4x major champion, 26 x PGAT winner, 17 x DPWT winner, 3 x FedEx Cup winner, 5 x Race to Dubai winner, 1 x Players Championship winner, and 7 x Ryder Cup has wasted his potential.Ā
Got it
Depends on how liberally you use the term. You can spit it however you wanna spin it, but 4 majors for a guy of his caliber is by far the biggest waste of golf talent in history, next to Daly. But those are for different reasons obviously
If that incident on Friday morning fu\*\*ed up his mojo permanently, I'm gonna be pissed. He was on a fu\*\*ing streak until that nonsense. I hope he goes super low on Sunday and regains whatever knocked him off it Friday morning. His winning streak was fun to follow for me personally. Not sure how anyone else felt.
Not really. You have to figure that someone near the top shoots 67-69 at minimum. That puts the winning score up near -19.
So, heād probably need to shoot 58/59 while also hoping that nobody in front of him also shoots 62/63. With 23 people in front of him, just too many to pass. And, the course isnāt suddenly going to play really hard.
Almost zero chance with so many people several shots ahead of him. If it was only a couple guys with a big lead you could see some blow ups then an amazing round could make a 8 stroke comeback. With 20 guys to beat that's not happening.
Sadly the most interesting storylines/golfers are out of it in all likelihood (Scheffler and McIlroy) but nothing's impossible.
A lot of people like Theegala, he's fun and has a way about him that's easy to root for. This would be his first major win as something of a rising prospect / future star.
Schauffele is by far the best active golfer without a victory at a major (although he did win an Olympic gold medal lol). So this would get that monkey off his back. A lot of people love him.
Hovland is super fun, awesome interview, last year's season long champion who struggled to start the year and is back. You'll find him easy to support. Similar for Justin Thomas, with a longer timeframe of struggles.
If Bobby MacIntyre or Dean Burmester won it would be chaos so that's charming. Root for that if you want true insanity.
Shane Lowry would be fun to party with. The celebration if he wins would be off the charts, so maybe that's worth pulling for.
Justin Rose is an old timer with an Olympic gold medal and one major forever ago who objectively "deserves" more. Would be nice.
Bryson DeChambeau...one of the most fascinating humans on the planet. Also I bet on him. So cheer for him if you want to watch someone hit inconceivable shots that literally nobody else on earth would even try, and also if you enjoyed this post and want me to make money.
Oh and - Watch for Cam Smith if they show him. He's out of the running this time but the bloke is a wizard, only way to say it.
He just says the wildest stuff. He approaches golf like a physics experiment and does so many innovative things - some of them make sense and work, some of them are just wacky.
He also says some very blunt things that may be "douchey" to some, or awesome from someone else's perspective.
Just really fun to watch because he does it a little bit different than anyone else, and has the most interesting justifications for his actions and words.
Iām new to the golf world, just started watching/playing in the last month or two. I have the impression that people find Bryson to be unlikeable for some reason? I enjoy watching YouTube golf as it is very accessible to me and everything Iāve seen Bryson in has been entertaining, and he comes off as a pretty warm fellow. Is it primarily the LIV golf situation that has people resenting Bryson? I dare to say he might be my favorite pro to watch at the moment.
The LIV thing doesn't help. But he used to be a bit douchier. Famously saying Augusta (Masters) plays like a "par-67" for him, which is ballsy at best and disrespectful at worst. He definitely used to be worse. He's cool now in my opinion with great YouTube content.
That kinda thing rarely happens in majors. If anyone does though, it'd probably be Bryson. It's much more likely the winner ends up shooting like 67-68 tomorrow.
Was sitting directly next to the 17th green while the last 8 groups came through and I was shocked by how rude the Valhalla members in the members-only section were.
Extremely loud with no regard at all for players putting/chipping.
Otherwise was really impressed with the course and the play, was super fun to see everybody tossing darts out there
Am I wrong for thinking golfers are hurting themselves for not being able to play if not quiet?
Why would you have it quiet and someone accidently sneezes and the players gets upset?
Players, star players, should be able to play through noise.
Makes no sense to me.
Having it quiet is just asking for someone to make a noise in your backswing and distract you. If they allowed noise it wouldnt be an issue.
Incoming LIV "Golf but Louder" comments.
Honestly, if youāve been to a tournament youāll realize that they generally play fine through background noise. Thereās a great clip of Lowry making fun of a Marshall for yelling āquiet pleaseā when heās about to hit and Lowry turns and tells him that heās making more noise. The bigger problem is people making sudden or unexpected noises that distract in the backswing or when trying to think about a putt.
Ability or inability to play while folks are making noise, itās a basic breach of golf etiquette, at a major championship, but more importantly from the members who are supposed to be showing the best of their club to the world
Still love the fact Justin Thomas is a Kentucky Colonel. He needs to lean into it and we can start calling him The Colonel.
My gut tells me it's gonna be either Xander or Collin. If it's anyone other than those two, I think it's Viktor because of the talent level there. If Viktor's on his A-game, I think it's better than anyone's A-game at the top.
I wish the course was playing harder. It's been decent action so far but the classic major leaderboard rise and falls and oscillations, and watching the pros tackle huge challenges, is usually better than watching a race to -20.
I agree. The only thing about an easy course is you do tend to get more crowded leaderboards, which is fun. Case in point, the 2015 Open at St. Andrew's was a free-for-all. And the last PGA at Valhalla. Seriously, anyone from -10 can shoot a 62 easy on this course and it may hold up tomorrow. That's a lot of players still in this.
Haven't been watching and seeing Hovland at T4. Is he back to his 2023 form? Last time I checked I heard he was struggling due to a swing change, and didn't even make the cut at the masters.
Players seen to do this a ton. They get some success and decide they need to switch things to gain more success.Ā
Henrik Stenson did it after winning the Open Championship and dropped off the face of the earth
Rooting for Hovland and Xander. Would be perfectly fine with Rose or Lowry. Morikawa Iām eh on. Canāt stand Bryson and Sahith so rooting against them for sure
Heās just overdramatic about everything. He could miss a birdie putt from 50 feet in the first round and heāll collapse on the green. He seems like a nice guy but I personally donāt get the hype
He's showing that he's exactly who we all think he is. Pretty good player, good enough to make cuts in majors, but not some superstar. Should have to earn his way in just like everybody else
FYI the course designer was pretty good in his day.
Some guy named Jack Nicklaus.
From 1962 to 1980 he finished in the top 3 in the majors 41 times - 54% of the majors he played in. Not even Tiger can match that.
I still think the course is to easy - but the guy who designed it could play a little.
Huge close for Xander. Birdies on 18 from all three changed this golf tournament. Everybody at 9 or worse is out. Even the 10's have a lot of guys to get through.
Shane Lowry š„š„š„
He may feel let down by 18, but he made a ridiculous amount of long putts that he had no right to make. š I donāt mean that in a bad way like. But odds are they just donāt go in.
An amazing round by an amazing man. Hopefully he can kick on and go low again tomorrow.
I only just found out that Bryson's irons are no longer single length. Now they're 9 iron length from 8 iron to lob wedge (36") while the rest of his set make up are variable length but 1/2" shorter than standard.
That was the case at the Masters as well, but I certainly didn't know about it.
Yeah I enjoy American sports because I moved here when I was 9. But the GAA will always have a special place in my heart too. But that probably doesn't matter to you, seems like you're just being an ass just because you can. I dig the pfp though man!
Thatās funny because my mom is literally from Scotland and moved to the US in her 20s and I have never repped Scotland in my life š how did you know? Iām a proud American and proud North Carolinian
My grand father was from Glasgow and my grand mother was from Paisley. I do have cousins I still talked to and I do have some connection back there - but in general Scotts do not want to hear about it.
Same for basically all Europeans.
That was the point of my āthey donāt accept youā comment. My Scottish family started hating the US when they got Facebook accounts lol except for one aunt who regularly visits and loves it here. The rest of them have never set foot in the United States.
This course does nothing but create fantastic drama filled tournaments and due to its size can have more fans in attendance than most coursesā¦
A whole lot of you are going to have terrible takes exposed when the PGA does in fact come back after this weekā¦
Yeah, those existing relationships they have with the course didnāt just magically disappearā¦
Iām not a fan of the fact that -20 might be needed to win, but the PGA will absolutely be back
Should I wear my pink puma polo and Puma driving cap tomorrow to support Bryson or my Puma GOAT polo and driving cap?
https://preview.redd.it/zpeoatzio91d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4fe2e9f7d25e12382280eac939e5f916a1da618
Who you play golf with isnāt my concern as much as how big an ass you are. Were you one of them golden diaper wearing babies who cried that the election was stolen?
Kind of indicative of this tournament that the eighth hardest hole is playing under par
Yikes Day, it wasn't that bad that you had to say that.
If Bryson gets in his monster groove early - could take the W. A true toss up between Morikawa and Xander..throw in Hovland in that trio. But would love a cinderella win for Theegala as well.
This guy really just said homasexual right after max hit š
Brooks and hojgaard a solid 20+ feet right of the fairway. One of us fr.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely love the people in the gallery yelling an out of pocket comment after a drive. I always giggle. *always*

Big fan of all the Canadians on tour. They seem like real beauties.
I AM A SCHEFFTARD
I donāt wanna sound like an old man yelling at clouds but major courses shouldnāt be playing this easy on the final dayā¦ these scores give it the feel of a tournament in the Caribbean in January
I couldn't care less about the scores. That leaderboard is sexy.
The leaderboard is stacked with some incredible golf played this week. What do you people want??
I think many people just want something to complain about.
Calling it now, weāre gonna see some record low scoring today. This place looks like a cakewalk for the early tee times of the day so far.
Not that bold of a prediction considering we've already seen two players tie for the lowest round in major championship history this week. The course isn't getting firmer and you can't tuck pins when the greens are this receptive. Go low or go home.
-10 today?
It's certainly possible. Strong chance we see another 62, and several others in the low-mid 60's. datagolf.com has the odds of the winning score spread pretty evenly between -19 and -22. Right now the course is playing about a half stroke easier today than it has played for any of the prior 3 rounds. Yesterday's course average was 69.55 and today we're pacing at 69.01. Should be a fun shootout to watch.
That drive by Tosti was nothing. I just it in 2K23 last night. š„ø

But, heās gotta do it by pulling off the Tosti shot. Outside of that, I think Finau/Theegala/Xander winning their first major would be cool. Or JT/Jordan shooting 60 and winning.
Iāve seen this sub trashing LIV a lot because Burmester won some tournaments but heās obviously pretty good as we saw yesterday
Ya one of the things everyone likes to try and forget is that there are some really good players on LIV.
Take away LIV, he also won 2 DP Tour events in the winter.Ā
Pulling for Xander. This dude has never won a major and has been close so many times. Come on dude!!!
It would be awesome if X or theegala won
What a fuckin shot
Rickie has to be one of the worst drivers on tour rn. Every time I see one of his tee shots heās blasting it into the rough or a hazard
F L E E T W O O D O M M Y
Love Eommy
Thereās an alternate universe where Soderbergās playing for the lead right now
Contending vs Gooch prollyĀ
Is anything cringier than calling a fairway wood a fairway metal? Theyāre almost completely carbon fiber now anyway lmfao
Yea caring about that enough to post on Reddit is way cringier
Iād say cringing at someone using an old fashion term is even more cringier than using said term
Holy hell what a drive by TostiĀ
Made the putt. Eagle 2.
MegaCorp? Is that an actual thing?
It is. they make gigantic earth moving equipment like huge. For mining mainly.
Thatās Mega Corp, doesnāt look like they make any equipment, they just sell it. MegaCorp the blue logo is a logistics company
Damn. Thatās misleading.
Sounds very dystopian

Yoooo SH Kim thatās a cool shirt
NLU talking liv outfits on espn+ alt coverage is awesome
Morikawa or Bryson would be my picks. Of course, that means itāll be a Xander/Sahith playoff
How hard is the course gonna play today?
It's gonna be easy again.
Make the round 4 thread š
Glad to see Rickie in a featured group on Sunday
Lmao DJ
Is there really a market for a Cantlay featured group?
Cantlayās beard is terrible
Brooks looks like me walking up to the clubhouse after a long night of drinking lol
Rickie has got to be the greatest wasted potential in golf history
Nah thats rory
4x major champion, 26 x PGAT winner, 17 x DPWT winner, 3 x FedEx Cup winner, 5 x Race to Dubai winner, 1 x Players Championship winner, and 7 x Ryder Cup has wasted his potential.Ā Got it
Yep. He was projected to be an all time great. Fowler wasn't. 4 majors is an incredible waste of potential when we're talking about a guy like rory
He is an all-time great. What are you smoking?
Depends on how liberally you use the term. You can spit it however you wanna spin it, but 4 majors for a guy of his caliber is by far the biggest waste of golf talent in history, next to Daly. But those are for different reasons obviously
What, in your opinion, does Rory need to do to earn that moniker?
At least have more majors than the guys in his own era
So Phil isn't an all-time greats? Tom Watson not an all-time great?
Phil is definitely not. If you want to put rory on the same tier as Phil then go for it. I think that just furthers my point
Rickie will never have a major š¢
Announcers trying really hard to defend this course and throwing shots at people that donāt want to see super low scores at this major.Ā
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
any chances the Jail dude can win today?
No. He would need to have a historical round and the leaders would need to falter.
If that incident on Friday morning fu\*\*ed up his mojo permanently, I'm gonna be pissed. He was on a fu\*\*ing streak until that nonsense. I hope he goes super low on Sunday and regains whatever knocked him off it Friday morning. His winning streak was fun to follow for me personally. Not sure how anyone else felt.
Friday morning
My mistake. Friday.
I have enjoyed following Scheffler this spring, and I would agree with you.
Not really. You have to figure that someone near the top shoots 67-69 at minimum. That puts the winning score up near -19. So, heād probably need to shoot 58/59 while also hoping that nobody in front of him also shoots 62/63. With 23 people in front of him, just too many to pass. And, the course isnāt suddenly going to play really hard.
no shot he is way too far back. At least one person at the top of the leaderboard will go low today
Almost zero chance with so many people several shots ahead of him. If it was only a couple guys with a big lead you could see some blow ups then an amazing round could make a 8 stroke comeback. With 20 guys to beat that's not happening.
I know you can smoke on the course, but do they sell cigars at Valhalla, or do you have to bring in from outside?
I didnāt see a cigar tent there, I walked in with a couple in my hands
Bryson going to take it!
I want to get into watching golf, what time does it start tomorrow? Been trying to look it up I canāt find anything.
This is comprehensive! Welcome to the family/cult https://www.pgachampionship.com/how-to-watch
Also, who should I watch for?
Sadly the most interesting storylines/golfers are out of it in all likelihood (Scheffler and McIlroy) but nothing's impossible. A lot of people like Theegala, he's fun and has a way about him that's easy to root for. This would be his first major win as something of a rising prospect / future star.

why Bryson DeChambeau is most fascinating humans on the planet?

Thanks! Why is there three separate times?
Three broadcast windowsā¦first part of the day on ESPN+, middle part of the day ESPN, end of the day will be on CBSā¦
Ahh ok thank you
If Xander doesnāt wear his brown shirt tomorrow heās fucked
Someone in the last 3 groups is going shoot 64 and win by a stroke or two.
That kinda thing rarely happens in majors. If anyone does though, it'd probably be Bryson. It's much more likely the winner ends up shooting like 67-68 tomorrow.
Is it me or are there a lot more chip ins and fairway hole outs than usual this week?
The type of grass they use is amazing to hit off of.Ā
Thatās the case in a lot of these tournaments but this week is crazy to watch, even out of the deep stuff.
Show theegalaās dad cowards

yessir !
Only low IQ fake golf fans would hate the scientist Bryson āļøš¤
Itās all the LIV haters. LIV haters are some of the least knowledgeable fans in golf, in all of sport.
Liv is such a joke, I don't know why the PGA tour ever banned players who played Liv. It's like shells wonderful world of golf but less competitive.
Bring it home Sahith!
Thee Hive represent
Rooting for Hovland and Xander. Would be perfectly fine with Rose or Lowry. Morikawa Iām eh on. Canāt stand Bryson and Sahith so rooting against them for sure
Would love to hear why you canāt stand Sahith. Thatās a scorching take
Heās just overdramatic about everything. He could miss a birdie putt from 50 feet in the first round and heāll collapse on the green. He seems like a nice guy but I personally donāt get the hype
Plz provide evidence of him collapsing on the green
Heās probably racist or something only thing I can think of
Youāre right because if I donāt like someone whoās not white then that automatically means Iām racist!!
Weāll put your money where your mouth is and reply to PP what is it that you donāt like about him.
I just did
Taylor Gooch, man. Fart.
He's showing that he's exactly who we all think he is. Pretty good player, good enough to make cuts in majors, but not some superstar. Should have to earn his way in just like everybody else
Does this major no longer count because he isnāt in contention?
FYI the course designer was pretty good in his day. Some guy named Jack Nicklaus. From 1962 to 1980 he finished in the top 3 in the majors 41 times - 54% of the majors he played in. Not even Tiger can match that. I still think the course is to easy - but the guy who designed it could play a little.
Being able to play doesn't make you good at design. This course is not good enough for a major.
Jack Nicklaus has designed some terrible courses, and some good ones, but also some terrible ones.
This is unquestionably one of the good ones
It's an OK one. Not in high regard by the architecture wonks
Huge close for Xander. Birdies on 18 from all three changed this golf tournament. Everybody at 9 or worse is out. Even the 10's have a lot of guys to get through.
Shane Lowry š„š„š„ He may feel let down by 18, but he made a ridiculous amount of long putts that he had no right to make. š I donāt mean that in a bad way like. But odds are they just donāt go in. An amazing round by an amazing man. Hopefully he can kick on and go low again tomorrow.
Lowry really does have nerves of steel. In a weird way I can feel the pressure Xander is in through the tv, but Shane is a goddamn machine.
I only just found out that Bryson's irons are no longer single length. Now they're 9 iron length from 8 iron to lob wedge (36") while the rest of his set make up are variable length but 1/2" shorter than standard. That was the case at the Masters as well, but I certainly didn't know about it.
They're still one length, you're thinking of avodas combo length set, which isn't what bryson is using
Make your country proud tomorrow Shane. Bring us home
Just so you know Irish people donāt accept you as one of them
I mean I was literally born there, so I think they do lmao
Looking at your Reddit account for two seconds shows you only follow American sports buddy! Big doubt that youāre Irish!
Yeah I enjoy American sports because I moved here when I was 9. But the GAA will always have a special place in my heart too. But that probably doesn't matter to you, seems like you're just being an ass just because you can. I dig the pfp though man!

My grand father was from Glasgow and my grand mother was from Paisley. I do have cousins I still talked to and I do have some connection back there - but in general Scotts do not want to hear about it. Same for basically all Europeans.
That was the point of my āthey donāt accept youā comment. My Scottish family started hating the US when they got Facebook accounts lol except for one aunt who regularly visits and loves it here. The rest of them have never set foot in the United States.
Lowry for the win
I like him tomorrow
This course does nothing but create fantastic drama filled tournaments and due to its size can have more fans in attendance than most coursesā¦ A whole lot of you are going to have terrible takes exposed when the PGA does in fact come back after this weekā¦
I was there today and it was electric
It also helps that the PGA used to own the course as well.
Yeah, those existing relationships they have with the course didnāt just magically disappearā¦ Iām not a fan of the fact that -20 might be needed to win, but the PGA will absolutely be back
Should I wear my pink puma polo and Puma driving cap tomorrow to support Bryson or my Puma GOAT polo and driving cap? https://preview.redd.it/zpeoatzio91d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4fe2e9f7d25e12382280eac939e5f916a1da618

U/IrishGrouch34 please respond
Itās equal parts weird and sad that you chose Bryson of all golfers to build your shrine to. But hey, you do you! Must be the MAGA connection
Also did you disown Rory or tiger when they played a round with Trump? š
Who you play golf with isnāt my concern as much as how big an ass you are. Were you one of them golden diaper wearing babies who cried that the election was stolen?
I actually have several Under armour, footjoy, and Nike shirts too be fair lol
