I'm such a giggly fan of what Tiger has done today, I can't stop reading about it.
Love this from him: “I felt good,” Woods said. “Once the adrenaline kicks in and I get into my own little world, I knew I should be able to handle business.”
14 months out, and being in contention of one of the greatest majors of the year is "handling business"
That's some mental toughness.
Sqqquuuueeeeee 
Schwartzel, playing with leader Scheffler has just holed out for 2 on 10 to move to -6, which is typically a tough hole, but he is still 5 back, although Scheffler has a tough up and down ahead of him on 10.
Smith sits on -5 through 12, Lowry-4 through 10 as the only other one right now in touch.
for a short time Cam SMith had closed the gap to 3, -7 v -10, but a Smith bogey on 16 and Scheffler birdie on 13 restored the 5 shot gap.
Poor old Kevin Na, 5 putt 6 on 16.
Back to 4 with a lucky bounce for Scheffler (-10) setting him up a nice bird on 17, while Schwartzel continues to fall away now back at -2
Scheffler has gone bush off the 18th...cameras didnt pick up the end position
hugely technical 2 club drop for Scheffler after his ball was dead, still not a great spot.
@taniwharugby Great shot from there!
Last pair tomorrow will be Scheffler (-9) Smith (-6) then IM (-4) Lowry & Schwartzel (-2) Tomas and Conners only others under par at -1
Final round baby!
Cam Smith has come out firing too birdie birdie and now at -8, just one off Scheffler at -9
Wow Scheffler just chips in for birdie on the 3rd. Both he and Smith had just missed the green with their approaches and balls rolled back to within a foot from each other at the bottom of the hill. Scheffler bang in the hole. Smith likely to bogey so two shot swing
Rory in the clubhouse at -7 (3 back) after a sizzling 65 today, Scheffler has a decent chance at birdie on 13.

That was the tournament right there. Scheffler was wobbling big time, and had his lead cut to one at that point he could have self combusted.
Instead he plays an amazing chip and Smith bogeys. It settles Scheffler and Smith never really recovers.

Greg Norman coming in for a bit of flack
Apparently that is not a proper tee box...
"It's not a hole-in-one, because it wasn't really a par 3," Brady said. "We were in the middle of the fairway on a par 4, and I would have had to play the whole round for it to be a real hole-in-one. It was a once-in-a-lifetime shot, that's for sure, but it wasn't a hole-in-one unfortunately. I can't claim that."
Poor old Foxy this morning in the Dutch Open. Was playing brilliantly then double bogey on the last and in to a playoff which he lost on the 4th playoff hole (after some great golf).
And now Steve Alker wins again on the Senior PGA, one of the senior majors too with a final round 63!

Can anyone do an analysis of money earned pre and post Senior tour for Alker?

Im sure it will be covered in one of the media articles about to come out. It'll be one hell of a contrast thats for sure
Forgot to mention, Michael Campbell also played in the Senior PGA event and finished +4 in T55.
@JK and the huge putt Periera sunk to force the play off.
Do wonder if Fox could do with improving his fitness, he seems to fade late in his rounds and in the weekend....maybe just a coincidence.
Alker is killing it.
this shows his seasonal earnings, late 2021 onwards is a different player.
Think hes running a 1.9m US for this year and 0.8m US last year vs around 2m US for pre 2019
