  2. Justin Thomas has blown up -- he's 8 over for the day and 5 over for the tournament through 33 holes. So he won't be your winner.

  3. Xander Schauffele is 1 under through 36, as is Jason Day (AUS). Koepka is 1 over through 36, as is Morikawa and Jon Rahm. Spieth is 3 over through 36. And that's pretty much it for the stars.

  4. Justin Rose holes a long birdie putt at the last -- it must have been at least 50 feet -- and he finishes in a tie for second at 5 under par.

  5. That should pretty much do it for the day. Given the wind, I don't think anyone else will get into the top five.
