Some short-game magic on display here. Ryo Hisatsune shortsides himself in a greenside bunker at 4, but elegantly holes out for birdie to move to -4. Meanwhile back on 3, Bryson DeChambeau wangs a wild tee shot over the trees on the left and onto the 4th hole, then sends his second back over those trees and behind the green, down a bank into thick grass. But he opens the face of his club and lobs smoothly onto the fringe, rolling out to six feet. He mops up for par, and that’s a big save. He remains -4.
Without things ever getting out of hand in the regular-Tour-event style, we’ve had some impressive low scoring this week. Jhonattan Vegas, Max Homa and the aforementioned Kim Si-woo have posted 64s, Matthieu Pavon carded a 65, Cam Davis shot 66. Keep it on the fairway, and Quail Hollow is there for the taking. That might be doubly true today, because after the morning rain, the rough may be lusher, but the greens will be a tad softer and more receptive. So there’s a score out there for someone to make their titular advance on Moving Day. Having said that, the wind is expected to get up as the day goes on, so nothing’s ever simple.
