Yep. Waiting for my boy to have a breakout round during these playoffs but it hasn't happened yet and may not. Since he didn't win the PGA he has been struggling to post any good scores. He's lurking at 4 under but needs a breakout round. Two more chances...

Spieth just made a heck of a par to start his round, missing the fairway off the tee, to a greenside bunker from the rough, and a sand save up & down.

Johnson made double bogie.

The pros are amazing their ability to bounce back.  After his lead-off double bogie, DJ knocks it dead stiff at the par three 2nd.

Paul Casey killing it today.

My boy Kisner killing it today...

So, Justin Thomas edges out Spieth for the FedEx Cup with a second place finish.  Xander Schauffle gets the tourney win, which probably would have paid pretty well as a bet.

Yep you gotta give it up to Schauffle as the guy was money. Kisner hit it all over the ballpark and still shot 70 so I gotta give him some props for hanging in. Casey is apparently just a choker and just can't get it done. Seems an excellent player otherwise and a nice bloke...

I didn't see the finish.  What happened to Casey down the stretch?

ETA:  Found this bit...

Having looked so confident in his first 54 holes, this was his worst score of the week by seven shots. When he needed it, Casey just could not produce and his expression afterwards said it all. He declined to talk afterwards, rushing off.

To be fair, there was so much riding on this result. Not only had Casey not won in eight years on the PGA Tour, and for four seasons anywhere, but there was the little matter of £8.5m in his sights. It will surely be of no comfort to know that Thomas would have denied him collecting the FedEx bonus even if he had won. Casey was plainly desperate for this trophy.
Alas, he bogeyed two of the first five to surrender his advantage and another followed on the ninth. The former world No 3 was still in touch at that point and even had a sniff with four to go. But he ensured his woe by pushing his tee-shot into the water on the par-three 15th. There was a danger  Casey would be the only player in the field not to birdie a hole all day, but he made a four up the par-five 18th. Again, no solace whatsoever.

Just saw Scauffele's humorous final putt, which almost rimmed out.  I can relate.

he really jammed that one in and almost out. He laughed himself. It was hilarious before the next group could putt they called an official in to fix some damage to the cup. They were joking because it was right in the spot were Schauffele's final putt hit the inside left of the hole...lol

To post pics here you can copy-paste from another online host site (eg, facebook or imgur).  Nor sure if exchange-a-gram works.
