Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the No Lega podcast live show presented, as always, by our friends at Titleist. I am Solly, joined by my esteemed colleague, Mr. Big Randy. Hello, Big.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights of Wyndham Clark's performance today?
Hello, Solly. Uh, good to be with you, my man. Let's, let's get into it. Neil was out there today. He is going to be joining us, uh, hopefully here shortly, uh, from, I believe from the media center, uh, there in South Hampton. He was one of three people left on the grounds there.

Chapter 3: How did the weather impact the players' performance?
What are we talking about tonight?
Yeah, guys, I think issuing a correction on a previous post of mine, you do got to hand it to him.
You got to hand it to him.
Wyndham Clark is seven under par through 54 holes at the United States Open. Scotty Scheffler, Sahid Tagala, and Tom Kim at one under. Nobody else is under par. Some good news for Wyndham here. In each of the last 27 U.S. Opens, count them. The eventual winner was either leading or within four strokes of the lead at the end of the third round. Nobody is within four shots.
Nobody's within five shots of Wyndham Clark at this point. Wyndham has tied, I believe, the fourth largest U.S. Open 54-hole lead. Of course, Tiger Woods led by 10 in 2000.

Chapter 4: What strategies are being discussed for the final round?
Rory McIlroy led by eight in 2011. And Randy's got long, big, huge Jim Barnes led by seven in 1921. Wyndham joins the group of leaders that have led by six. There's a good stat. This is the only stat at this point. 39 players have had a five-plus shot lead entering the final round of a major championship. 33 went on to win.
The last player that didn't do it, of course, the guy that a lot of people are going to be thinking about tomorrow, the guys that a lot of people might be hoping to see referenced tomorrow, 1999 Open Championship at Carnoustie, Jean van de Velde. Wyndham Clark just absolutely went out and suffocated this thing, man. I mean, he saved par from...
He did exactly what he had to do to stay in the position that he's in. Solly, what sticks out to you about the way Dub is playing right now?
I mean, he looks the part. You do just straight up got to hand it to him, man. I know it is not the storyline we were hoping for, the storyline a lot of people watching are hoping for, the storyline a lot of people listening to this were hoping for.
Chapter 5: What insights do the hosts share about the course conditions?
But, I mean, what you ask of somebody for U.S. Open, he's had a massive lead for like 48 hours now. Right. And comes out, you know, and he's got to wait till 345 to tee off today. Bogeys the first hole and just like plays really solid golf birdied five bogeyed eight and then had a bunch of opportunities where this thing could have slipped away on 10.
He made the mistake that a lot of people made on 10 today, but he gets up and down from long there, gets up and down on 11.
incredible bunker shot there you know pars 12 makes a great scramble again on 13 like that was where he I saw this out there was like a 5% chance he was going to make all of I think Rick run good tweet that he's going to make 5% chance he was going to make all those putts and he did it man and then has like we thought Scotty had the highlights of the day and Wyndham steps up and hits like the shot of the day into 16 and makes Eagle
Bogey's 18 to make it just a little bit more interesting, and he missed a four-footer for par on 15 to make it not a complete, complete runaway. Let me ask you guys this. DataGolf says 71.6% chance of winning right now. Is that a little low from what you were thinking?
Doesn't that feel low? If you would have asked me what the percentage was, I think I would have said like 80, 85. I mean, it just feels very, very over. I know it's the U.S.

Chapter 6: How are the other players positioned heading into the final round?
Open, but the wind is going to be down tomorrow, it sounds like. Maybe they juice up the whole locations and they make it extra firm, get out and mow and roll those greens and just make them ā as, you know, spicy as they've been all week. But yeah, I just, he, he, I don't know. It remains compelling, right?
Because there were enough moments today starting on the first hole where it's like, he was just a little off. He had a long lag putt. He didn't get it down three putts. The first it's like, ah, it can, it can happen. It can wobble. And then he just made every single one of those par savers that he ended up that he, that he had to make. But again, you can ask me either way tomorrow.
Is he going to have those par savers? Is he going to be in control of his golf ball and limit the damage? Or is he going to keep making those?
Chapter 7: What are the expectations for the final round of the U.S. Open?
I don't know what the answer to that question is. I know it can get off the rails. I just don't think it doesn't look like somebody's going to go shoot 75 and let a bunch of other people back into it tomorrow.
I think that's well said, Deej. I am going back and forth in my mind whether today was Wyndham's quote-unquote didn't hit the ball great, didn't have his A game, and not only did he survive it, but to post around...
um an even par 70 is fabulous six shot lead uh or are we starting to see some cracks and as you said is he going to be able to keep saving par like we saw him today man that was such a big stretch not i mean bones called it out to 9 10 11 uh the saver on 13 2. you know, two over there, who knows what his mindset is going. He makes birdie on 14. You guys mentioned the Eagle on 16.
Does that still happen if he's riding the bogey train? You know, that, that, that, that seemed critical. Um, I don't know. This is such an interesting course because if you're just off a little bit, it can be gas leak tomorrow for him. And he can go out and make four bogeys on the front, and it's like, holy shit, we got a golf tournament.
Chapter 8: What closing thoughts do the hosts have about the tournament so far?
So, Solly, to your point about the 70% or whatever it was to win via data golf, I think that feels about right. Yeah. And listen, I think Scottie being there in the final group with him adds to some of the intrigue, certainly. You're playing with the number one player in the world. So I'm excited. Listen, it's like in my mind, he's got a 50% chance.
He's either going to win or he's not going to win. And it's going to be interesting one way or another.
Yeah, we didn't really mention who he's paired with tomorrow, which is Scotty after just not a lot of juice out there. And we can talk about that as we get into it. But there was juice when Scotty was playing that 14, 15, 16 stretch. I mean, that was... I did get electric. The guy is going for the Grand Slam. It's his birthday. Randy, I know you're a huge birthday guy. It's Father's Day.
It's like...
there is a bit of a man in 20 years like could i see the do you remember when scotty roared back and wanted shinnok documentary like yeah man i could see that uh it felt like that for a little while there right right yeah yeah it's so i i am pulled a little bit on that one where i'm like i can see that happening that that the uh that the movie fan in me really likes that idea but i'm the guy who's been watching golf for three days
It's like, ah, it just feels like Wyndham's going to go shoot like 71 and just win this thing. But we'll see. It's why they play the game, Sully. That's right.
We need just like one super clownish pin, like a Phil running after a ball, like one opportunity that, you know, half the groups are like six putting this one pin, volcano hole, can Wyndham hole it on that one? Maybe Scottie just runs one in and then Wyndham five putts it. That's our best chance at it.
How great was it to have that moment on 10 today?
I was going to say, you've got to give him credit for hitting that shot on 10.
