It’s very likely that the winner today will come from the last grouping with Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau topping the leaderboard.
I would say that I’ve posted about this duo more than any other active golfers besides Tiger Woods in recent years, so it’s a WAX Golf special, this last group.
I don’t make predictions, but Scottie Scheffler seems to far back to make a real play unless both the aforementioned happen to wobble, which is far from unlikely in this venue.
Rory?
Aside from that, if either stumble and Scottie has a scintillating final round, who knows?
Personally, I am rooting for Rory Mack, as I have always done since he turned pro (he and Jason Day were my favorites when I still watched golf every week).
Bryson?
All I can predict is that there should be some long balls off the tee in the leaders’ group.
Other than that, I’ll say what I always say when people are placing odds on the potential winners – favored or not, you’ve still gotta play the game to find out.
Scottie?
Let the best man win!




What a recovery shot by Rors on 7. Nearly holed out from behind the pines in the straw!
Followed by a terrific bunker shot from a plugged lie by Bryson. They could halve this hole if Rory doesn’t sink the birdie.
… and he doesn’t. Bryson pots the par, great scrambling from the front runners.
A little nervy tee shot there on 10th for Rory. Anyone else remember 2011 when it all fell apart for a much younger McIlroy, on his 10th hole tee shot?
14 years later, will he seal the deal for the career major slam?
Triple bogey in ’11, birdie in ’25 for McIlroy on the 10th.
A four stroke lead going into Amen Corner.
When I saw Rory on 13 with a wedge in his hand…
Great final round from Justin Rose, a very worthy champion if Rory doesn’t bring it home.
Rory misses a very makeable putt on 16, two holes remaining. A playoff looking very possible at the moment.
So it’s a playoff.
Absolutely no scarier a sight in pro golf than Rory with a wedge in his hands, unfortunately. Just killed him today.
Wow,Rory finally won!
He sure did!
