️ Updates from the third round at Aronimink Golf Club️ Official live scoreboard | Follow on Bluesky | Mail ScottThe first sign that low scoring was afoot today was provided by Michael Kim. The 32-year-old, born in South Korea but representing the USA, has come out of a mid-career slump that saw him at one point miss 23 cuts in a row. He won the French Open last year, and has reestablished himself as a regular participant in the majors, if not one making any serious waves. He was due to miss the cut yesterday, and was +7 with six holes to play, but birdied 4 and 6 before chipping in for eagle at 9. Then this morning he birdied 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, a run spoiled by a single bogey at 4. He turned in 30. Sadly a double bogey at 10 scuppered his momentum, and though he came close to making a hole-in-one albatross at the driveable par-four 13th – six feet short, for the record – he shot 37 on the back nine.

Kim is the current clubhouse leader, alongside Nicolai Højgaard, who shot 66 today.Actually, let’s immediately revise that, because Chris ‘Captain’ Kirk has just raked in a long birdie putt across 17. It’s his eighth birdie of the day. Just the one bogey, and so a birdie up the last would give the 41-year-old from Tennessee a 62, equalling the lowest-ever round in a men’s major, a record jointly held by Branden Grace (2017 Open), Rickie Fowler (2023 US Open), Xander Schauffele (2023 US Open and 2024 PGA) and Shane Lowry (2024 PGA). Oh, and it gives him a share of the lead. Continue reading...
