To Spieth's credit, he doesn't look rattled, but he's got to settle down if he wants to win this.

[Chechem]

11th HOLE (par 4):

Kuchar (-8) is on the fairway.
Spieth (-8) hits his alongside Kuchar's ball.

Meanwhile, Rory hits his drive FAR left, and it may be lost.  They've searched for a while now.

True.  But history favors Spieth.  Kuchar is one bad shot away from a triple bogey.  Spieth could easily correct his attitude and pull away, winning by 4-5 shots.

BUT I'M GOING TO WATCH IT!!

Rory's ball still lost.

Spieth (-8) better, right over the flag, to within 20'.

[2Stater]

That was a heck of a save by Spieth.

No sheep!  Fortunate to get a good lie after that poor iron shot.

12th HOLE (par 3):

Kuchar (-8) is on the green, but long (40-50').
Spieth (-8) better, right over the flag, to within 20'.

This hole was cut in the front, with a big bunker right there and a false front.  The players must play past the hole.

Both par the hole.

[Chechem]

13th HOLE (long par 4):

Kuchar (-8) fortunate; misses the fairway right, but not in the bunkers.
Spieth (-8) is FAR FAR right of the fairway.  NUTS!  He just doesn't do this often.
