Fleetwood, Matsuyama & Schauffele in three-way tie for leadpublished at 16:11
Men’s golf
Hideki Matsuyama has an absolute shocker down the 18th after smashing his tee shot right into the thick stuff.
The 2021 Masters champion was only able to punt his third into the second cut and then dunked his approach into the water in front of the putting surface. The Japanese golfer actually did well to only make a double there, rolling in from 12-14 feet.
Tommy Fleetwood also coughs up a shot after finding the sand and failing to drain a par-saving putt from a similar distance.
That means the British golfer, Matsuyama and Xander Schauffele are all in the clubhouse and in a three-way tie for the lead on 11 under overall.
A little further back down the course and leaderboard, Rory McIlroy has just doubled the 17th to drop back to four under overall.
