It's been a long time since we've really been able to watch Jimmy play a full round. He should get lots of coverage today if he stays up with the pace.

I think if he can at least manage a -3 today he will put himself in great shape headed to tomorrow.

Yes and let's hope no one else gets too hot today. I don't normally cheer against golfers but doing so this weekend. Go Jimmy!

Fitzpatrick shot 63, thanks for jinx.

Jimmy leaking a little oil today. I imagine sleeping with the overnight lead probably led to some jitters because it's been so long since he's really been in contention.

If he can end his day within 2 shots of the lead I think he can regroup tomorrow.

I saw some stat that only 2 of the last 12 players that had the 54 hole lead at RBC went on to win. So if he ends up a couple of shots back after today it may not be all bad.

Terribly unlucky break losing that ball in the tree on the par 5 15th; overall hasn't played bad just a few missed opportunities for birdies (including 18).
Tied for 4th, 3 shots back -- not a bad place to be

Not his best today....but not a total disaster. Had a good chance for birdie on 18 to get back to even on the day....but just nicked the edge of the cup.

He's 3 back on a course known for come from behind winners in the final round. But it's gonna be a tall order getting past Fitzpatrick, Cantlay, Spieth, and Scheffler.

It's just encouraging to see him being competitive with some of the game's best.

Vegas giving Jimmy odds of 30 to 1 to win tomorrow. Pre tournament he was 1,000 to 1 to win.

This is after yesterday's around. The fire still burns.

I think at a minimum someone is going to finish at -16 which means JW would need to go 5 under today

Walker with a steady start. He's one under through 4 and 3 back of Fitzpatrick who just made a crazy par save putting from off the green.

Jimmy birdies hole 5 to get within 2 strokes of Fitz.

Broadcasters talking about how Walker can play more relaxed today being in the chaser role.

Jimmy now back to even on the day and trails the leaders by 5 strokes with 7 holes to go. Hopefully he can get a couple of birdies and score a Top 10 which will be a nice FEDEx Cup points boost.....and a nice payday

+2 on the day, dropped all the way back to -9 (T25th) thru 15 holes

Only made $160,500 this week, maybe biggest payday in 7 years?

Jimmy moves from 143rd in FesEx up to 125th.

That's two top 25s in a month. Hopefully these are signs his game and stamina are coming back.

No, not even close. He's had 5 top 10's since 2018 including a T2nd at the Players Championship. He probably made $750,000 or more for that.

A picture of Jimmy this morning at the Zurich. Gave him a Sic'em as he walked by and he did one in return. Guys next to me looked puzzled. LOL

Good start for Team Walker today; they shot 8 under which is tied 9th, 4 teams tied for the lead at 10 under.
Jimmy did all the heavy lifting for his team, shooting 7 under while D.A. Points shot 1 under.

Alternate shot today, much tougher to score. A good solid 3 or 4 under should keep them right in the mix.

Cantlay/Schauffle were amazing this morning, 9 under in alt shot. Conditions right now after the rain delay are absolutely perfect, hope Jimmy and partner can take advantage.

Wow, just like that their done. After a 3 over (75) Team Walker is -5 after 2 rounds, missing the cut by 5 (-10)

The PGA Tour heads to Mexico this week. This field is super weak. I think there are only 2 players from the Top 50 playing. Great opportunity for Jimmy to compete.

The top 2 players in the field are Jon Rahm & Tony Finau who finished, you guessed it, first & second last year in this event. If JW is on his game he should card a top 10.

Jimmy is -1 so far through 10 holes. I heard commentators say that scoring on this course is typically easier in the AM when the winds are down. If Jimmy can get to -2 or -3 I think he will have himself in good shape heading into tomorrow.

JW finished with a 4 under (67) currently T11th
