    Charl Schwartzel earned more for three days golf than he has in the last three years for winning the first LIV event. That’s mental.

    McIlroy’s * twitching here. Rose with a 60 with three bogeys on the card. Drama not over yet either. Brilliant final round.

    Been some final round. In the end Rory’s sorted himself out when it mattered, he’s been unbelievable with his wedges.

    I backed Thomas in all 4 majors at the start of the year. Got 20/1 for the US Open.

    Would be great viewing if him and McIlroy were the final pairing again after last week.

    Kids run off with Jon Rahm's golf ball on 18th hole at U.S. Open

    BROOKLINE, Mass. -- The Country Club's thick rough might make it easier for the world's best players to lose a golf ball in the 122nd U.S. Open this week.

    Especially when a couple of young spectators run off with it.

    That's exactly what happened to defending U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm on the 18th hole in the first round on Thursday. After he pulled his tee shot 301 yards into the thick rough left of the fairway, two kids ran off with his ball.

    "I'm pretty sure I know who it was," Rahm said after his round. "I recognized the two kids that were running the opposite way with a smile on their face. I am 100% sure I saw the two kids that stole it."

    Fortunately for Rahm, he was given a free drop and had an unobstructed lane to the 18th green. He knocked his second shot to 21 feet and made the birdie putt. He finished at 1-under 69.

    "I'm just really happy somebody spotted the ball first," Rahm said. "We knew exactly where it was. Off the tee, I was comfortable. I was past all the trees. It was downwind. I wasn't trying to go that far left, but I was trying to take it over the trees and over the bunkers.

    "After the free relief, I had 135 yards to the pin, in an area where the rough wasn't that thick. I don't think they expected anybody to hit it there or be around there, so I was able to drop it in an area that was a little downgrain. I wasn't in jeopardy of carrying the bunker. That wasn't really a concern."

    Doing not bad so far, Rose -2 and Zalatoris -1. Spieth +2 but he can easily claw that back.

    Finely balanced, still very difficult to call a winner at this late stage.

    Absolutely ridiculous shot out the bunker on 18, was worthy of winning any tournament.
