What a ****ing dud of a major. If Harman was going to give it all back, it would have happened today.

Van De Velde says “hold my beer”. So long as we get Rahm or Fleetwood, just not another Lawrie (all due respect) please.

Harman makes Cantlay look like Trevino.
They’re both likable enough guys, but I can’t get over the waggles.
Just hit the ball.

Damn, I had half a sandwich left, and finished it while Harman was waggling.

At least when I’m playing with such a dude I can ignore him until he’s about 3/4 of the way the ou go his waggles. On TV don’t show him until the very end.

Exactly.
If someone in my group tomorrow starts waggling, I’ll change my Sirius station in my cart, crack a beer, take a ****…..do something.
Get the number, one look, go.

Gonna be hard to short Harman on TV time Sunday but you have a point -- TV plays a big part in shaping the conversation on slow play and slow players.

The only realistic shots at Harman are Rahm and Fleetwood. Rahm because, IMO, he has another 63 or 64 in him ... the third round was largely the 30 on the back nine. Fleetwood because, if he gets on a run, the gallery will do everything they can to lift the (near-)hometown guy.

Harman – as slow as he is – strikes me as smart enough to take his one-shot medicine should he end up in pot bunkers and tall fescue ... i.e., he'll make the smart play to minimize damage and take bogey and keep hangmans and snowmans out of play. And with a five-shot lead, that means someone has to get him. Therefore, maybe Rahm or Fleetwood.

As far as Young hits it, I’m giving him a punchers chance. Especially with 2 par 5’s in last 4 holes.

Harman's waggles are beyond painful, but at least he's not with Cantlay. Obviously, it's his to lose. Probably needs to blow up to a 75 to give anyone else a chance unless someone goes out and post a 63.

Well, the weather could be fun today. I still don't see Harman yakking away a five-shot lead, but if he starts missing greens and somebody in the pack gets home in 68, perhaps.

I’m the opposite.
I’ve got a bad feeling about Harman today.

When the CEO of the R&A gave his annual pre-tournament interview on Wednesday, they asked him about the weather on Sunday…..he said it was going to be wet……or very wet.

I always assume something squirrelly will happen to left-handed golfers for some reason.

I'm rooting hard for Harman. We lefties have to stick together.

 

[Chef2]

It’s becoming clear now that Harman isn’t going to **** his pants.
If Rahm or Straka want to win this, they’re going to have to shoot 30 or 31 on the back.

 

[I Should Coco]

One positive for the fans getting soaked in the rain: they don’t have to see the boatload of NBC commercials.

 

[Noholesin1]

If Harman wins this and makes the Ryder Cup team, he'll definitely hear it from the Euro fans when he starts his pre-shot waggles.

 

[User 149557]

Our revenge for Sergio.

A little crack in the door with Harman's bogey. Kim could make this interesting.
