The big news this morning is the birdie blitz of Justin Thomas. The world number one avoided the cut last night by the skin of his glove, and he’s playing this morning like a man free of worries: birdies at 2, 4, 5, 6 and now 7! All of a sudden he’s -4, having more than halved his deficit on the leader Li in short order. That run may come to an end at the long, difficult par-three 8th, as he’s just off the back with his tee shot, but this is some start from last weekend’s WGC winner.

Good morning San Francisco! Here we go, then, the start of Moving Day. Well, not quite, the very early pairings have been our for a wee while already. More of them in due course. But we arrive just in time to see Tiger Woods take his opening tee shot. He sends his drive into the rough down the left, an inauspicious beginning. Tiger begins the third round at level par, eight shots off Li Haotong’s 36-hole lead. History proves he’s not quite out of it yet: Bob Rosburg won from nine shots back at this stage in 1959, as did Bob Tway in 1986, much to poor old Greg Norman’s chagrin. Tiger’s task – an eight-shot comeback – has been completed by Don January in 1967 and Dave Stockton in 1976. Nothing’s impossible, then … but then we’ve known this about Tiger for some time now.
