Spieth is done. No way he makes this putt. Shame.

Louis still has a chance. Just made a huge par putt on 17.

HOLY fuck thought he had it. So close.

We got it streaming on 95" 4K TV in my office. The most obnoxious TV I've ever seen.

I wanted Spieth to sink that. :(

Louis still alive to keep it going last 6 major winners were at least tied for the lead after 54 holes. Can he make it 7 straight?

Let's go Louis!

Not many have won a major by 7 shots. Louis did in 2010

I think they have to declare themselves "Pro".....amateurs aren't eligible for any prize money. I've been wrong before.

4 hole aggregate playoff.

What is the tournament that has another full round in the event of a tie?

Learn me on what this means.
They all play 4 holes and hopefully 1 of them has a superior score to the other 2. Losing the 1st hole doesn't mean you are out of it.

Nope you got it.

Also you were right about Dunne not finishing as the top amateur. He finished 4th best among them.

Would like to see Louis pull this out. But not gonna be dissapointed if the American gets his 2nd.

And nothing against Leishman at all, he's handled some big pressure.

Guessing Louis -1 and other 2 E
