11:00 am - We are live from the Broadmoor once again for the Third Round of the US Senior Open. Big crowds today as expected. If you were going to go one day, it would be Saturday or Sunday. Pace of play will be quicker because each group will be two players and not three.
Weather is calm and hot, with a breeze that picks up time to time. Dark clouds are by the mountains but when aren’t they this time of year.
12:35 pm - Just got in after following some groups around the course. I started with Ian Woosnam and Bernard Langer. What a pair! Langer is the slowest golfer on the planet and Woosnam is one of the fastest. Woosie could play an entire round by himself in two and a half hours. He just tees up and goes. Langer checks and re-checks and resets and practice swings…you get the idea. Anyway I followed them along until I saw the group of…
Jeff Klein! The man on a mission. He’s 8-under for the day and putting for par on the 15th when I catch him. He misses the putt and then pars 16 and 17 before three putting the 18th green for a 6-under total and a 64. A 64 at an Open!
I saw UCCS Women’s Basketball Coach Jessika Caldwell and her husband on the course today. They got caught up in the energy of Klein-mania. The crowds surrounding this guy was amazing. He’s from Scottsbluff, Nebraska and really had the crowd roaring today.
1:15 pm - After a nice lunch in the media tower, NBC goes to live coverage. What do they do to start the broadcast? Yep, a shot of the infamous bear that roams the fairways of the Broadmoor. Oh they add shots of deer and foxes but its the bear that is stealing the show.
Fred Funk is on the move. Funk has birdied three of his first eight holes to go to nine-under. Eduardo Romero is keeping pace with three birdies of his own. Tom Kite is three-under on his round today too. John Cook, not so hot. He’s double bogied the sixth hole to fall to 1-under.
This is going to be a great moving day today. Lots of red numbers are coming in.
1:30 pm - Scott Simpson is in with a 64 as well. A 64 is uncommon in an Open setting, even on the Senior Tour. You have high rough and fast greens. The fact that its a par 70 means that two par 5’s are missing from the equation, making the course longer. The 17th for example is a par-five for the members but here this week, its a 545 yard par four. 64 is a great score no matter where you shoot it, but at an Open its incredible. Two of those in one day is amazing.
I really like how Tom Kite is looking today. He’s making some putts and hitting the ball in the fairway. He’s got some catching up to do with Funk at 9-under but if he gets to one or two back, he might win this thing tomorrow. You heard it here first.
1:38 pm - Funk is in the rough at the par-five 9th hole. That’s a tough shot and he hits it short of the green and near the water. Romero is in the fairway he hits it a little short of the green. This could give Romero another shot to close the gap.
Nope, Funk chips up and makes a birdie. He’s at 10-under. Romero makes birdie and gets to eight-under. Both players had a 32 on the front nine. They are running away with this thing as Tom Kite is five-shots back at 5-under.
2:20 pm - Saw Norman finish up on 18 and spoke with him after his round. He didnt seem too happy. He finished with a 68 but he felt it could have been lower. Afterall, we did have two 64s. he didnt like the inconsistancy of the course and the pin placements yesterday we something he didnt want to comment on. By the way, he’s a big guy.
Fred Funk is in a funk now. He was 10-under after nine but dropped a shot at 11 and then another one at 12 and 14. He’s at 7-under par while Romero now is at 9-under.
Opps now its 8-under after Romero bogies 15. Gotta love instant scoring in the comfy media center.
3:20 pm - John Cook is starting to come alive. After a ho-hum even par front nine, he gets birdies at 12, 14, 16, and has a birdie putt at 18 to get to 6-under
Cook makes the putt and finishes with a 30 on the back side. Remarkable given that’s the side that is driving everyone crazy. There are no par 5’s out there to birdie. Cook is now tied for third place. It looked like he was done at 2-under when Funk and Romero got to 10-under but he hung in there and now has a shot.
Funk pared his final 5 holes to finish at 7-under. This has got to hurt. He was 10-under after nine but shot a 3-over 37 on the back nine. Romero shoots a back nine 33 to finish witha 65 and leads the Open by two shots.
Oh yeah, so much for my physic prediction of a Tom Kite championship. He shot a 1-over 71 today and is 1-under for the championship after a back nine 38.
Back tomorrow for the Final Round of the US Senior Open.
