After the noise of the gallery, who gave the sensational Scottie Scheffler his dues for that world-class five-hole blast of field-scattering golf, a diminuendo end to the day courtesy of the final group. It’s a bogey-bogey-bogey finish for Matthieu Pavon; a par for Matt Fitzpatrick but a disappointing 72; and bogey for Jhonattan Vegas for an underwhelming 73. But this was all about Scheffler. What a performance. Is this already over? Not yet, too much can happen on any given major-championship Sunday. But in this form, and with a three-shot lead, it’s going to take something special to deny Scottie his third major tomorrow. See you then!

Scottie Scheffler is left with a nine-foot putt across 18 for his birdie. He strolls around it, sizes it up, and strokes in the right-to-left swinger for his third birdie in the last five holes. Throw an eagle into that stretch, and down the closing strait the world number one might have done enough to win this championship on day three! Bogey for Kim Si-woo, who suddenly finds himself five off the pace. The Wanamaker Trophy in Scottie’s hands!
