I've got a stat that chimes more with my version of reality...
3rd round, Bryson -2.22 strokes gained putting. 6th worst of everyone who made the cut.

The other thing that rings true is that over the whole tournament, Spieth is 1st in sg putting.

Lol. His long putts are completely ridiculous.
There was a lot of talk before the tournament that colonial is normally won by a good putting performance, and I think JS is benefiting from this. His long game, particularly with driver, still looks smelly to me. There's a couple more shortish tracks coming up though, so maybe he'll be able to build his confidence.
Rory had a compete shocker today. Pretty much the day's worst putting performance. I know he's never been great, but I wish he'd get it together.

Bryson just interviewed says he needs to putt better.
I agree.

Spieth will have a chance on courses he doesnt have to hit driver too much but going to struggle on courses you need to drive it good for sure. Seems to be hitting his irons better too which gives him a chance with the putter
Schauffle and Morikawa are both major winners/stars of the future, its been a decent tournament
Reed might be one to watch in the upcoming weeks too, Berger as well
As for Rory, hes paid the bills this week thankfully for those of us with "nefarious interests"

What a couple of putts from Xander and what a shot from Collin

Yep. Can't help thinking he wasn't aiming in the 10 ft slot between the flag and the water though...
Coughed up the putt - playoff?

Except there was a grandstand on 16 (outside the boundary of the course). Looked full to me, properly taking the p.

There's a fascinating (well, quite interesting) interview with a journalist who was present at the event on the Mckellar podcast. An insight into the practicalities of the pga bubble.
The hack is from the new york times, so his sensibilities are somewhat informed by the urban NE experience.

Morikawa is a top 5 player at the moment one of the most in form players pre lockdown only reason he’s not higher up the official ranking is due to the way they’re worked out

I think that was a private gathering, in someones garden, who had paid for their own grandstand. Not much anyone can do about that.

I recognise the PGA Tour couldn't do anything about it. Obviously a very enterprising resident, but ridiculous really when you could see 50+ people sitting in the grandstand, there was a bar there too. I guess Texas doesn't do social distancing, they just shoot the virus if it gets too close
