I understand it's nonetheless early in the tournament -- we've the better part of two rounds to complete nowadays -- however you need to nevertheless be privy to the huge tale that started at some point of Saturday's stop-and-begin spherical.
First, Erik Compton matched Jason Day's second spherical 65 to live in touch with the 36-hole leader.
And now, as play resumes on Sunday, Compton is tied with Day for the lead on the Zurich Classic after making birdies on 3 of his 6 holes inside the third round. Day has performed three holes of his 1/3 round in par.
Perhaps you are questioning why that is such a huge deal? After all, Compton has played nicely at activities earlier than, with closing yr's US Open being the most great.
The motive is that TPC Louisiana is basically FLAT. Compton's heart situation way he constantly has extra to cope with for the duration of a spherical than maximum players... But this week, mountaineering hills is not part of it. And that means -- if you may pardon the pun -- that this week it's more of a stage gambling field.
Which ought to make this the quality chance Erik Compton has ever needed to get his first PGA Tour win. True, he'll have to play 30 holes these days in that Louisiana warmth to pull it off. But the flatness of the direction may want to play a large component in the event that they get all the holes in.
BTW, Compton isn't in the healthy play subsequent week, so he would not need to worry about maintaining energy for that grueling occasion. He can move all-out seeking to get this win. Jason Day, in the meantime, still has to finish this event and get out to Harding Park to defend his suit play title.
It ought to make for a few excellent TV today!
