McIlroy : 6 holes to find a birdie to make the weekend...

Not watched any of the golf this week - seen a few comments about the crowds being poor, is there any particular reason?
Crowds are excellent apparently.

Big statement from scheffler coming at a perfect time. Yet again showing why he's he biggest name in the business

He was probably the best player last year and may well do well this year but I wouldn't say taking a one shot lead into the third round of a middle ranking PGA tournament is a big statement.

More the fact that he shot 62. When he plays his best nobody can get near him.

Pretty much every top player is hard to beat at their best. What was most impressive about Scheffler last year was the consistency that he was at or near his best.

Even if it was a weak field (personally don't think it's that weak), what has that got to do with him shooting 62?!?

Well a guy that isn't even in the top 100 of the best players in the world shot a 63 - so a 62 from the best player in the world really isn't that stellar in context - nobody can get near him apart from a guy that hardly anybody has heard off who was just one shot behind...
Thats a consequence of large field tournaments of elite golfers. Anything can happen in one round. Its a stronger field than any LIV event for example, but of course, not as strong as an elevated event or a mojor. If Scottie is to make a statement, it will be by winning. And he very well may.
McIlroys best is better than Schefflers best I would say. But Scottie gets his best out more often than Rory over the last two years, and that is key.

Hopefully they both take their best to Augusta.
Yes. Have we had a real shootout between the two of them yet ?

Not that I can think of.
Crazy that.

You're confusing stronger with deeper.

With a high variance game like golf whereas deeper is not completely synonymous with stronger, deeper fields are generally stronger as well.
