Tom Kim, the chief after 18, 36 and 54 holes, capitalized with a birdie, forcing the beginning of a sudden loss of life playoff on the identical gap. Scheffler shot par; Kim bogeyed. And there is your event.

That has grow to be a little bit of the disposition of golf followers towards what is occurring. The numbers belie the routine nature of what he’s doing although as a result of the numbers inform the next story: This merely by no means occurs.”
