Desert Classic 3rd round 2019

The downside of play on the West coast is that one starts til later for us east of the Mississippi. I forgot they do not regroup til tommorrow so its same old same old today. The Stadium course has not always been PHIL's favorite venue but he is playing well so who knows? The good news about Friday is that PHIL's amateur partner helped on four holes so they are only one off the lead with a -21.

The winner of this thing is always somewhere in the mid-to-low (-)20's, so Phil will need a -4/-4 over the weekend to be in the hunt.

2018 - Rahm -22
2017 - Swafford -20
2016 - Duffner -25
2015 - Haas -22

steady golf so far--patience is the key

not doing himself any favors with a putter Missed a 9 footer for birdie on 3 and then missed a 3 footer on 4

oh no putting woes!!!!

one miss from 9 feet and another from 3 feet on a par three--I hope he does not get frustrated!!!

In Phil's defense PGA tour radio said it was 5 to 6 ft. Shot tracker said 3 feet 3 in. Still though putter cold!!!

Now down by 3. Hopefully he doesn't press, but putter is stone cold today

He cannot putt today, but he can chip it in

Would love him to be leading at days end but if not no worse than 2 shots off the lead. I really don't like these multiple course tournaments.

Three in a row and tied!!! -19

Dam Hadwin.

Too much of a birdie fest. Gonna be wide open tomorrow. I just hope Phil can stay near the lead

-20 tied for lead on 12th. Heard Phil pulled the plug on Torrey Pines next week.

Needs a few more putts to fall!! Steady steady golf--really steady

Well #13 was a bomb

-21 now and -5 on the day. Crazy to think he could easily be 3 shots better.

Can you say streaky!! two in a row

The putt at #16 would be sweet!!

on the green at 17

five missed birdies inside of 12 feet today-- 3 -5-8 feet

super golf but could have been super duper

Drops another bomb on 17.. Man if he could have those 3 or 4 putts under 5 feet back, he would be running away with it

yup and yup --could have been an easy 62 today
