US Open leader board: Live coverage and rating from final spherical as Tommy Fleetwood trails chief by means of four pictures he Floridian has moved to -14, helped lots by the falling velocity of the winds.
Fleetwood is juuuust approximately still in it, moving to -10 with a birdie on the 9th. Matsuyama has additionally labored his manner to -10 and is on the 12th hollow - he's found the again nine far easier with the situations slightly less complicated.
Fleetwood's recreation is falling apart. "I'm just getting it incorrect now," he says as he walks angrily faraway from his 2d shot on the 7th. He's right to be irritated too as his attempted chip onto the inexperienced is
completely overcooked, flies wildly over the pinnacle and now he's got to tug off some golf magic to make par
He knocks this one extensive proper of the hollow but must be able to make par. Fowler is on -eleven and it seems very just like that is the top 4, the Champions League area finishes, unless some thing bizarre/silly/super occurs. And nicely it could, due to the fact that is golfing. And it's not up. Fleetwood has dropped to -10 as he putts onto the inexperienced on the 6th and has to watch it roll instantly over and backtrack the otherside. Not appropriate. He manages to get a bogey however it really is now not going to be suitable sufficient to maintain up the heat on Harman and Koepka.
Speaking of which, he has a difficult putt for par on the 5th... And makes it, staying stage pinnacle on -13.
Fleetwood misses a protracted putt for par and Charlie Hoffman has undone everything correct he's finished today up to now with an absolute samoflange of a fourth hole. Every shot he's taken on this hollow has been horrific and he now has to putt from more than one feet for a double bogey. He misses and is now manner lower back on -7.
Koepka has hit his pressure off the sixth miles to the left and it lands just over the heads of the watching crowd. This hole appears to be inflicting all and sundry trouble nowadays, on the whole due to the fact the wind is blowing toward the gamers.
These lads keep yelling GET IN THE HOLE on... I suppose the 5th hollow, every single time. It's disturbing as all hell at the TV to be able to take your shot after which have folks yell out at once after is a probably a big ache within the ____
"Someone needs to throw these idiots out, I can't stand that," says the Sky Sports remark group. They're doing it on the 6th now as well.
Thomas is having an absolute mare at the moment and has dropped to -9.
I'm telling you, he is the dark horse of these days. Hoffman has snuck to -10 but simply as I'm getting all cocky like, he receives manner too much right on his force on seventh and lands inside the thick, high grass, also nearly hitting a person with binoculars wandering across the route. Should be able to live at par however with Koepka and Harman lights up the top of the desk, he's going to want to discover a few more birdies somewhere else.
Bogey for Fowler. He gets near together with his 0.33, messes up the par putt and resets to faucet in for a bogey on the fourth. That's him at -10 now.
Hoffman is sneaking up the board... At -nine at the sixth he reaches the green and drops the ball dead a couple of feet away. He was approximately 33-1 no longer long in the past.
Thomas has located his touch too. The wind is so fast that his ball is blown approximately 20 inches off its landing factor and Thomas runs to position a marker down before it goes any in addition away. It seems he hasn't located his touch due to the fact he then misses a simple putt for putt and drops to -9.
Harman back in the lead
Great shot Harman! His setting is highly appropriate and he sinks a loooooong putt, looking the ball run right round the rim of the hole to put him joint pinnacle at -13.
Fowler is within the sand at the fifth and has to do some thing special to ensure he gets par. It's a decent keep and I think has landed either on the green or simply brief of it... Must be a two putt or a chip and putt kind deal to live at -11.
More golf
Fleetwood traces up and then walks far from his force on fourth due to the fact huge gusts of wind keep scaring him off. Sure enough, the ball includes to the right however it is no longer a catastrophe in any respect and Fleetwood have to be able to get a first rate lie on his next shot.
Harman is retaining up the pressure at the leader with a long chip to the inexperienced on 2nd and could probably birdie this one, if his placing is highly suitable.
Thomas has dropped to -10 and is in discussion together with his caddy approximately a shot at the 0.33, 187 yards from the pin. The breeze carries it but not quite enough to give a real risk for a birdie and par is most in all likelihood.
Fleetwood and Koepka placing the standard
Thomas attempts to putt from in the back of the green but the ball slows and forestalls whilst it comes over the pinnacle of the hill, and he then misses par with a simple putt from near range. We in all likelihood won't be seeing any stupendous 63s from him these days.
Fleetwood is inches quick of birdie at the 0.33, and need to putt for par. Now Koepka is only a tiny bit brief on a protracted putt for birdie.
Charlie Hoffman is quietly doing his issue. Par on every hollow so far, he's simply birdied the fifth to move to -nine.
Aaaaaand Fleetwood has neglected an smooth putt, over thinking it, pushing the ball wide and bogeying.
Harman lands in excessive grass just quick of a bunker and then howks the ball way over the inexperienced into more high grass on the second one. He's going to must work very difficult to make par from that. Oh pricey, oh pricey.
His associate, Thomas, places an excessive amount of on a chip up the hill onto the identical inexperienced and the ball spins away down the again. He's now in a bit hassle too if his nerves do not settle.
While the ones two maintain to meltdown, Koepka is on it. If he sinks his next very-tough putt on the third he can circulate photographs clean at the top.
And as I kind that, Harman cools it down and hits a tremendous chip a few inches away from the pin. Par stored, nerves restored.
We have a new chief
All hail our superb overlord, Brooks Koepka, who has moved into first after another birdie on the second one hollow. He's on -13.
Fleetwood hits a lovely chip up the hill and lands the ball simply multiple yards far from the pin on the second one. He can putt for birdie and flow into the lead... And does it! He is now joint on the top with Koepka and Harman.
Next is the hard 1/3 album hole. Some human beings stated Oasis lost their contact with Be Here Now but they have been wrong. Sure, some of the songs have been overly lengthy and the lyrics made little sense, however I still assume Fleetwood can conquer his critics with a drive this is equal in great to "D'ya Know What I Mean", which became virtually the standout music.
It's the final institution
Justin Thomas drives onto the golf green and appears annoyed because the ball bounces away into the very tall grass simply off it. Brian Harman, no relation to Butch Harmon, tees off as the present day chief. He would not make the golf green however Darren Clarke is absolutely sure this is due to the fact each gamers are exceptionally nervous and could improve right now after those nervy starts.
Meanwhile, Henley, no relation to Don, receives away with one on the second, very almost touchdown in sand or high grass.
Fowler, who Harmon defined as being "very secure and calm" in advance on, is off to brilliant start. After that opening birdie he is yards away from touchdown at the green from the tee.
Fleetwood must get par on the first, getting near the hollow for birdie but again, nerves are in all likelihood to have paid a part. Fleetwood faucets in for par.
Birdie for Fowler on the first
That's a superb start. The wind is death down, Fowler has come out flying... Could this be his year?
Here comes England's hope
Tommy Fleetwood, the 26 12 months old nicemn, is up to the tee and getting ready to start the maximum important spherical of golfing of his profession so far. WOOSH ting goes the sound of his club and the ball lands barely left on the fairway. Decent.
And now it's Brooks Koepka, who has a name like a Football Manager regen. His first shot lands inside the middle. The center is first-class, I am brought about trust.
Fowler on the primary
The human solero hoofs the ball numerous hundred yards away down the green and might be satisfied along with his begin to the spherical. That first shot can have any such big mental impact on a player - hitting it proper makes you sense like you've got manage. Putting it into the hard can throw even the nice off from the start. And I realize that because I as soon as performed golf.
Darren Clarke is now on co-statement obligation, that is high-quality. Apparently the wind has dropped... Ever so slightly... However enough to make flags drop a chunk. Earlier they have been flat out, like in a cool animated film or lego.
GET IN THE HOLE
It's both very popular to yell out golf catchphrases or one man is going around the path following his favourites. Garcia hits a beauty to drop the ball inches away from the pin, the flight of the ball perhaps helped on its manner through the enthusiastic golf fan's cheer.
He gets fortunate with a putt for birdie as the ball threatens to jump over the lip however it drops, and Garcia is now on -5.
