In the end slightly lacklustre R3 rounds for Koepka & Rahm, bringing more of the field into it. Shortish turnaround to change momentum. Are you fancying any earlier players to post a good number?

Brooks going cross country
Commentator just said, (paraphrasing slightly) "Cantlay leading the all important category of greens in regulation with 80%". Surely the "all important category" is total score. He's hit more greens in regulation so far but is still 5 shots behind the leader.
This bollocks is creeping in to most sports. Complete nonsense stats to make them sound smart. xG in football is the main one that rips my knitting. Expected goals don't win games, ACTUAL goals do.
Saw someone eulogising about Chelsea having 1.57 xG to Wolves 0.53 xG... Aye, very good, Wolves won 1-0, they get the three points. Chelsea get bumpkiss for their superior xG.
Anyways, to the golf, straight shoot out between Rahm and Koepka for me, think Hovland's sphincter will start to wobble (despite that excellent par save on the 1st) around 6-8 holes in.
Hovland probably the biggest threat to Rahm and Koepka. I'd be happy for Brooks to win it, cos he's a LIV guy, but I'd be equally happy for Rahm to win it, and I think he'll be fired up to do so on Seve's birthday.
Only reason I’d like to see Koepka win is so people stop saying “can LIV guys play 4 days” like they haven’t their whole careers
Would prefer a European winner though!
I’m off to buy a Rolex tomorrow as I really appreciate their brand ethics now and their deep commitment to golf at all levels. I think they truly deserve some of my cash.The "Rolex Hour" guff is getting so over the top that I genuinely think they are just trolling us now
There has been some particularly poor putting this week. I can’t recall seeing so many six footers missed at a Masters.
Scheffler’s putting has been especially grim all week.
