DeChambeau is snookered behind a tree and forced to lay up. Rahm is in the middle of the fairway but opts to do that too. Oosthuizen makes it three. He’s first to fire in a chip, and nearly spins his ball into the cup. He’ll get back one of the shots he dropped at the last to return to -6. DeChambeau’s wedge isn’t all that. Finally Rahm has a go. Up and down and he’ll be the sole leader. But he gets “an absolute flyer” and sends his ball bouncing through the green and down the big bank at the back. He’ll have a hell of a chip coming back up, with not much green to work with. Ah well, at least he didn’t get wet.
DeChambeau has now made three birdies in a row. This is a really impressive battle back from the brink. But he’s put too much into his drive at 15, and whistles it into the pines down the right. He’ll be forced to lay up from there. Meanwhile it’s two putts for birdie for Reed on 13, and he moves up to -6. Marc Leishman is going along nicely, too: he’d left an eagle putt on 15 a good ten feet short in the gloaming last night, so opted to come back and sort it this morning. Wise decision, as he made his birdie putt; he’s -5.
