Cantlay and Schauffele are the essential wire-to-wire champs since the opposition embraced the gathering plan.
“It was an extraordinary week,” Cantlay said. “we gain a point on our own when just before time passes. We reliably value being with each other, both on and off the fairway, and we both played phenomenal this week and partied hard getting it going.”
Cantlay and Schauffele opened with a history 59 in best-ball play Thursday, shot 68 on Friday in substitute shot, and had a 60 in best ball Saturday to break the competition 54-opening record and open a five-shot lead.

In the wake of missing a 3-foot birdie putt on the short standard four eighths, Schauffele missed the greens on the 10th and tenth openings, prompting successive intruders, and there were about five shots for demonstrating the charging burns and horses chew to make it down.
“those interrupters are not behaving well as it looks like they have 8 iron rods in their hand.,” Schauffele said. our only mission is to make proper eye contact for what matters we resolve best.” Cantlay and Schauffele bounced back with a 3-foot birdie putt on the eleventh and followed with six sequential birdies before missing the standard 5 shutting opening.
