Nice. Spieth just dropped a couple shots.
Still a cluster on the top of the leaderboard.

This is fantastic.
Go on Spieth!!!
If Spieth gets up and down on 17 here I fully expect him to birdie 18 and take the win.
Spieth has this in the bag now
Not in the bag this par putt is no gimme.
Shit!
FFS 
All my fault that miss.
All my fault that miss.
Argh so close.
He'll still birdie 18 and join the playoff.
Or chip in
Jordan 
You ruined it!FFS
All my fault that miss.
feck, great effort!
Lets see is Louis can join them then
Louis dropping that putt made me a nice few k. Cashed out now as my nerves can't take it.
Couldn't Spieth's caddy have been on the green to pull the flagstick on that shot that bounced off of it? Or do you have to already be on the green to do that?
When did that happen? I must've missed that. Pretty sure there's no rule against it though.
Somewhere in the middle of the round. Chipped it over a little mound straight to the flagstick and bounced off of it. Camera showed him saying it would've been in if not for the flagstick.
He still could've done better on 18 off the tee and there's that 4-put to regret as well, but if that shot goes in he might still be playing.
The only rule regarding the flagstick is that it must be out if you're playing on the green, which is why caddies will 'attend' the flag for long shots where the player may not be able to see the hole clearly enough when putting.
If you hit the flagstick when putting on the green its a 2 stroke penalty.
If Spieth had asked his caddy to attend the flag and remove it after he'd hit a shot from off the green that would have been legal, but you'd never do it.
It's all well and good saying it would have dropped without the flagstick being there but there's just no way you'd ever anticipate that, unless maybe you were playing a chip and run from the fringe or something.
How far off the green was he?

The flagstick seems to help more often than hinder in the that situation anyway
Also true.
Just off of it, behind a ridge. It would have been unusual I know, but I realized I didn't understand the rule exactly when thinking about it.
Commentators also mentioned the flagsticks there are a bit thick (I'm guessing due to the wind?).
I didn't know that but I guess it kinda makes sense. Like @Scrumpet said though you'd expect that to help, without hitting the pin it could have run miles past.
Johnson was brave to try that, but now I'd say he's gonna lag behind.
The assholes in the crowd who have shouted stuff out should be hit in the face with bricks.
Or get all the professionals in a line with the drivers? Caddys lining up the balls quickly for efficiency.
There were a few times you could've mistaken the crowd for an American golf audience.
Actually no, it wasn't that bad...
As annoying as "get in the hole" is on a par 5 tee shot, I'm talking about before shots as players are addressing the ball, happened a few times. As well as camera shutters going off.
If you shout out 'in the hole' at the tee of a par 4 or 5, your life should just be ended immediately...
Johnson has this now.
the balls on Louis if he holes this.. I'm shitting my pants just watching
Congrats Zach!
Leishman would have been the field good story, but I'm glad a fellow American won it.
Both golf bets this year were on Louis

Anybody watching the Canadian open? Hadwin 2 shots off the lead, and Hearn is leading. Would be nice to see a Canadian win it.
Shane fecking Lowry!

Only time to care about women´s golf for me is the Solheim Cup and as opposed to the CL/EL the only Europeans that don´t stink are the English girls.
