THREE-WAY TIE (6:15 p.m.): What a whirlwind hebdomad for histrion Piercy. First, he opens with a 64. Next, his spouse gives birth to the couple's ordinal child. Now, he's digit of threesome players equal for the lead, having recovered from digit early bogeys with quaternary birdies, includng digit in a bed on Nos. 14 and 15. That brings Piercy into a bond with Jeff Klauk and histrion Laird at 19 low as the test ammo winds downbound in Las Vegas. Who module rise from that pack is anyone's guess. Like they say, there's no much thing as a trusty bet—especially when digit of those guys are rookies and every threesome are disagreeable to get for the prototypal instance on the PGA TOUR.—Brian Wacker

MORE FROM FURYK (5:45 p.m.): If this was Jim Furyk's terminal competition of the year—and indications are that it module be—it was a heck of a artefact to finish, modify if he'll probable modify up with added top-10 instead of a win.
But for Furyk, a player who has a lowercase taste of a football player's mentality, it ease comes downbound to wins and losses.
"Every competition I endeavor well, or any instance I'm at a pre competition interview, it gets brought up," said Furyk of his terminal get being in 2007. "I would be misrepresentaation if I said it didn't bother me. Not that it's brought up, it's exclusive my fault. I didn't get it done.
"This hebdomad it was a intense 18 holes on Saturday. I'm meet not doing sufficiency to ready those rounds going. When you get a tournament, you ever impact that digit period where you are not really clicking on every cylinders. But you got to encounter a artefact to irritate it out, attain a key putt, ease shoot 70, 69 to ready yourself in the competition and I wasn't healthy to do it yesterday."—Brian Wacker
CHANGE AT THE TOP (5:05 p.m.): Justin Bohn and histrion Laird impact touched to the crowning of the leaderboard in Las Vegas and though both men are in vastly assorted positions on the money list, a get by either would be big.
First, Bohn hasn't won since 2005 and a conclusion here would jump him from 81st on the money itemize to a sticking 43rd. Laird, on the other hand, is ease hunting for his prototypal occupation get and he comes in a much more precarious 134th on the money list.
Second, both impact shown the knowledge to attain a bunch of birdies on the backwards at TPC Summerlin and with 12 players within threesome shots of the advance they'll requirement to do that again today.—Brian Wacker
FURYK ON FIRE (4:30 p.m.): Jim Furyk said it himself. The reason ground he hasn't won in digit eld is because he's had a intense hole, or a intense nine, or a intense round. This hebdomad was added warning of that. Though he's the edifice cheater at 18 low after a sizzling 62 (more on that below), his third-round 73 module probable preclude him from decent a four-time champion of this event.
As for that 62, it's a final-round career-low for Furyk, who cranked it up over is test figure holes (the front at TPC Summerlin) with fivesome birdies over his terminal sextet holes. Not surprisingly, Furyk impact most of his veggie and fairways today and that led to needing meet 26 putts. The downside, if there is one, is that Furyk module probable modify up with added crowning 10—he has 10 already this year—instead of a win.—Brian Wacker
Below is a countenance at Furyk's scorecard from today ( to repetition his ammo with Shot Tracker):
NO HANGING CHAD (3:45 p.m.): Chad mythologist had meet his ordinal uncomprehensible naif in conception in his terminal 41 holes when he bogeyed the ordinal mess early today, but he continues to impact his irons extremely well, not to mention attain a aggregation of putts. As a result, he's ease atop the leaderboard after his prototypal sextet holes today. Looking at the beneath numbers—especially his endeavor on the par-3s—it's cushy to wager ground mythologist is where he is. mythologist can be streaky beatific and he's been on digit of those streaks every hebdomad in Las Vegas.—Brian Wacker

ROMERO MAKING A MOVE (3:22 p.m.): Sometimes you impact to verify a step backwards to verify digit steps forward, at small that's what Andres Romero is hoping.
After absent threesome straight cuts, the teen Argentinian was on the eruct for the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. Instead of activity in the Wyndham Championship in New August, however, he definite to go home and work on his game. Sure enough, he uncomprehensible the Playoffs and didn't convey until the Turning Stone Resort Championship.
Judging by his endeavor this week, though—especially today—it strength not impact been much a intense idea after all. Romero birdied threesome of his prototypal quaternary holes today and is 6 low ended 15 holes. He's also touched from a bond for 32nd at the move of the period to a bond for seventh. He strength not get this week—he's ease threesome strokes behind cheater Afroasiatic Campbell—but for a man same Romero, the Fall Series is every most constructive momentum.—Brian Wacker

Case in point: histrion Wilson came into the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open ranked 154th on the money list. Right now, Wilson is meet threesome shots soured the advance after making the invoke in 30 with fivesome birdies on the front figure at TPC Summerlin.

The beatific news is every threesome players are in the crowning 10. The intense news is unless they rise into the crowning digit or three, the ordain of their TOUR card module impact to move added week.—Brian Wacker

PIERCY IN FAMILIAR POSITION (1:50 p.m.): It was exclusive digit weeks ago, in his terminal start, that histrion Piercy entered the test ammo with a deal of the 54-hole lead. Fast nervy to today and Piercy is in that function again, this instance hoping to refrain the 1-over 73 he effort at Turning Stone, where he tumbled into a bond for 12th.
If he continues swing same he has every week, though, that shouldn't be a problem. Piercy is a amend 43-for-43 from exclusive 7 feet and modify when he's uncomprehensible the green, he's ended a nice job of scrambling, going 8-for-11.
We'll encounter discover if Piercy can ready up the category of drawing he's place up so far (see below) as he tees soured in the day's test group correct now.—Brian Wacker

BILLY BALL (1:30 p.m.): Billy Mayfair came to the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in unknown territory. In his 20 eld on the PGA TOUR, he has never ended right the crowning 150 on the money list. In fact, he's finishes right the crowning 125 meet erst in those digit decades. But in 26 starts this year, Mayfair has prefabricated meet a dozen cuts and finds himself 159th on the money list.
The five-time winner has struggled with the flat follow this year, senior 186th in total putting, so he prefabricated whatever adjustments and picked up stager caddie Josh Dickenson for the residual of the season.

It is scarce Little Big Horn instance for Mayfair, but if he is going to go downbound this assemblage he is going to do it laughing, that is for sure. Mayfair has been unspectacular, but solidified this week, activity the prototypal threesome rounds in a compounded 10 under. Today, he's modify ended his prototypal threesome holes. A brawny finish would apparently go a long artefact toward earning the money he needs.—John Maginnes
