This is a pretty good sports day. PGA Champ, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs, and any baseball game you want to watch.

It's a 4 screen day today. A year ago, it was a 0 screen day.
Not to mention the final day of the European soccer league seasons.

I thought I heard them do this once yesterday, but wasn't able to rewind. It seems so awkward to do that in the middle of a round.
I definitely heard it at least once in the middle of the round yesterday as well.

Come on Phil, make this one

That ball landing in the sand is on koepkas caddy. He had 7 in his hand and when the caddy gave the numbers Koepka said “so 6?” And the caddy said no.

4 strokes is a lot. Let's go Phil, finish this strong.

I hope Phil's caddy, his brother, shoots him up quietly to give him that final boost.

I gained a lot of respect for Phil when I watched the special with him, Tiger, Brady and Manning. Seems like a really nice guy.

4-shots with 8 to go and I don’t feel comfortable The Phil experience.
Yeah, if this were the other way around you'd feel like there would be no chance of Phil coming back. But with Koepka chasing Phil, It's gonna sweat out every shot even if he is on 18 tee up 3 or 4

Honestly that really played to Phil's advantage, forcing him to play it safe as a 3 shot hole and just get into the fairway, Had he been in the mid fairway, he would have absolutely tried to hit the 1 in a hundred shot and go for the green

Koepka has played a really odd round today. Just unsteady from the jump. His Par 5 play today has been traumatic.

It's a day of destiny.

I think Phil at this point needs -5 or better to win (and -4 may do it) . But one bad shot can change things quickly here

Will be interesting to see if he does that, but it just doesn't feel very Phil. His driver also really hasn't been a problem, so not sure suddenly turning away would help
Hasn't he been mostly 2-woods on driving holes?
