Verne has been slipping for five years or so. This year has been rough. I was spoiled listening to him and Brad Sham do the Cowboys broadcasts.

He's 82. Only works the PGA and Masters. Next year will supposedly be his last

May take -5 to get to top 12.
Yep. 15 and 16 are birdie opportunities. Go get it, Sam.

Bennett at +1 for today is below the final round scoring average for the field. So he's beating more than half the field today.

I think -4 has a chance for top 12. -5 will assure it.

Yeah, it's easy for people to lose sight on this because we are mostly only seeing the guys doing well

LIV has 3 of the top 5 players.

Birdie the par 5 left and get one more somewhere and I think he will make top 12.

I miss Verne on SEC Saturdays at 2:30. His voice always meant you were getting a good matchup to watch.

Sam about to go -6 over the next 5 and win this thing

I think we can all agree if Sam were wearing maroon today he'd be tied for the lead.

Rahm executing the driver and approach shots he wants. Just playing smart and waiting for a couple of putts to eventually drop

It seemed like one of the little stories throughout this tournament was just how poorly Scheffler was playing, but here we are at the end and he's within the Top 10.

He needs to pick up a shot and one of the -5 to drop one.

That's the goal now - and either way we'll see him with the winner and Nantz in the Butler Cabin at the end which is pretty awesome!

He was with reach of contending today until he bombed it into the bushes on 12.

Mickelson actually has a chance to win this.

Yeah he's going to need a 3 on one of the par 5s. The way he's playing I just don't see it.

Yeah Rahm is in play it safe mode from here out. Gonna take a big mistake on his part to lose it.

And if that holds up LIV and Phil will be pimping the s*** out of that. "The world's best golfers play here". That's why Phil was so happy - gave LIV tour a longer lifeline.

Agreed. The rest of the field is running out of time. Koepka is the only one with enough holes left to do something and he just doesn't have it.

If we get sudden death today, I'd bet on Phil.

That was the type of shot that a freaking killer takes on with a two shot lead.

37 ft putt coming for birdie on 14 for Sam

That was massive. Should have a clear green light on his second shot.

Missed it, settles for par on 14

Kind of begs the question, why would CBS/ESPN do the broadcast at cost?

The only entity making any money is Augusta National?

Rich getting richer I guess.


Because just being affiliated with an event this prestigious still draws prestige and eyeballs to their networks. And it's at a time of year where the opportunity cost is little. They'd be showing cornhole or something

As far as "rich get richer", AN leaves an absolute ****load of $$$ on the table


Yeah, it's definitely a dead spot on the sports calendar. But they are giving away an absolute ****-ton of inventory to accommodate Augusta.

Masters merchandise is crazy expensive and it's everywhere. Augusta is a brand and the networks are producing and broadcasting a 15 hour commercial for them for free.

Those Augusta members didn't become Augusta members by selling **** for free.

Koepka putting it in the ditch really hurt Mikelson.

If Rahm and Koepka were fighting tooth and nail, Rahm might need to take on 13 and 15 in two. That's a good way to get a big number. Since Rahm is 3 strokes ahead of guys still playing, he can afford to play more conservative.

Reed has a long eagle putt coming on 15. Would take a Schwartzel-esque finish for him to threaten but it's possible.

Good drive from Sam on 15
