  I'd like Spieth to win for obvious reasons, but if not DJ winning would be a good story of responding to adversity after choking 3 weeks ago. Also you can see his wife.

  The number of big names from a decade ago and the big names now and even two amateurs within 2-3 shots. Literally every big name current guy is right there....sans Bubba
• Ironman92

  

  DJ while still tied for the lead looks like the worst golfer in the top 20

  Spieth is just another level right now.

  He really is....there are 20 within 3 shots and 11 within 1 and I just told my son he might win by 6. But I love the big names from the past like Harrington and Goosen. Would love to see Sergio breakthrough after all of these years.

  Paddy with the line of the tournament.

  Impossible not to like the goofy Harrington. Spieth winning and he's in Tigerville but I'm currently on the Sergio bandwagon.

  Yeah...getting up and down for par the rest of the way and he won't be in the top 30 at the end. He looks terrible mentally......but 1 or 2 shots can get him back going.

  I can't fathom Spieth not getting to at least -14 so everyone -8 or better has a fighting chance.
  
  I think Dunn will fall off and not even be top amateur. Louie and Day will be there till the end. Hoping Sergio, Johnson, Johnson, Paddy, Goosen, Fowler, Scott and Rose all play well as this could be one of the best ever.
  
  I'll guess Martin Kaymer at -5 goes 66 to make himself interestingly in it and guessing Spieth wins it at -15 over Day and Rose at -13

  Going with Day...
• gerb131

  

  All bunched up. Spieth just doubled.
• gerb131

  

  Leishman to -16 and the lead
• gerb131

  

  And Sergio folds lol
• Laley23

  

  The only guy I don't want to win in about the top 20 is Leishman.
• sherm03

  

  Speith has come back really nicely after that double. But man, he keeps just missing shots to make it even harder on him. I think the pressure of getting to 3 straight majors is starting to really get to him.
• Terry_Tate

  

  This has been an awesome day of golf. Hopefully Leishman doesn't run away with it here to make it anticlimatic.

  What's wrong with Leishman? As for me about the only guy I don't want to see win is Adam Scott.

  I like the best to win majors. He is good, but the others up there are better.
• Laley23

  

  Everyone is top 25 with a major in hand on the first page...and Marc Leishman at 61 in the OWGR. That's all. Nothing against him, I just think Golf and Tennis are better when you start to get repeat winners who will be in contention at upcoming majors as well. Makes for better leaderboards (like we get today).
• SportsAndLady

  

  Disagree with that. I like Leishman and don't have to have a top golfer win for me to be happy. Like the underdogs

  Wtf was zach johnsons caddie just doing. Lol

  LOL! I was thinking the same thing. That bird dance was pretty damn weird.

  Yeah that's understandable. I was really just hoping for some type of bad story about him and that's why you didn't like him haha.
