MGM had him at 150 all the way until they started. They were high on a handful of guys, including Berger. Scheffller played great, but it is crazy how big the swings are on 18, right before the final round. The superstars bury those puts. Koepka, for instance. Fleetwood, as well. Of course Scheffler rolled in three beautiful puts in a row right before that. But imagine if Scheffler birdies 18 while Koepka bogeys...Scheffler would be minus 10 and Koepka minus 5. Instead, you have Scheffler at minus 8 and Koepka at minus 7. Just unreal how Koepka birdied 18 the last two days. Justin Rose is a maniacal scrambler who makes more par saving low percentage puts than any human alive. If you don't have Rose, he is the ultimate nightmare root against, as he excels in dagger bombs for eagle, as well.
Berger playing well, too. Missed a four footer on 17 two days in a row. Big put from Day on 16, but would have had a bigger bounce in his step if had made the one on 17. Was rooting against Xander hard, almost wrote him off, then he haunted me for a stretch, but a few miscues late backed him off just enough that I won't sweat him unless he makes a move.
On a side note, what's the deal with 90 percent of golf announcers and players mistakenly using the word further instead of farther? I have a problem with affect verses effect, but the farther/further distinction is easy, and at least with affect and effect, when speaking, you cannot be wrong. Farther represents measurable distance, which fits golf perfectly (almost said..to a T/tee...pun intended"..haha). It is just crazy how they almost always say further. It is kind of hard to believe.
