Exceptional start from Scheffler, who finds another birdie at the par 5 third to move to two-under for the day and 18-under for the tournament. To help the World No.1 further, Thomas just misses his birdie attempt to stay at 17-under and now one back of Scheffler. That’s a two shot swing in the opening three holes.
Cameron Young led after the first round and, despite a 75 and 72 in his second and third rounds, he is currently two-under for the day through seven for his final round thanks to shots like these!
He is one of the players under-par and also included in that is Kim, who has birdied the par 5 third via another lengthy putt to move within one of the lead. Excellent work from the South Korean, who has just seen his playing partner, Bradley, bogey the same hole to drop to 12-under alongside Sahith Theegala and Akshay Bhatia.
Woah! Admittedly, that was a difficult chip for Justin Thomas, who saw his iron shot run through the back of the green at the second, but I didn’t expect that!
Faced with a difficult chip shot, off a tight lie, JT tries to get too fancy and sees his attempt finish just a few yards in front of him. Admittedly, his follow-up attempt was exceptional, but it will be a bogey for the American, who drops back into a share of the lead with Scheffler.
Speaking of Scheffler, he has a great chance for birdie to take the outright lead, but his 15-foot birdie attempt finishes in the jaws of the hole, with Scottie tapping in for par.
The leaders both find the fairway at the first and both fire in excellent approach shots! Scottie Scheffler is the first to reach the opening green, sticking it to within 10-feet. Justin Thomas bests him comfortably, though, sticking his gap-wedge to near gimme range and all but a guaranteed birdie.
Ahead, both Tom Kim and Keegan Bradley parred the first and, in terms of the final group, Scheffler finds the birdie, with Thomas following him in for a birdie also. Both men are now 17 and 18-under, with Thomas continuing to keep his lead.
Good evening all and welcome to Golf Monthly’s final round coverage of the Hero World Challenge, which is set to be an enthralling watch as Major winners Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler go toe-to-toe.
Thomas starts one shot ahead, with the American leading World No.1 Scheffler who is searching for yet another title to end his 2024 on a high! Either way, it’s set to be a thrilling finale at Tiger’s event and, with 18 holes remaining, the likes of Tom Kim and US Ryder Cup Captain, Keegan Bradley, will hope to mount charges in the Bahamas!
