Comment: It clearly was a hole that separated those who were playing well from those who were still struggling to find their swings. The long par 3, which played as the toughest of the day, was bested only by Tim Clark and Jason Dufner for birdies. Most of the leaders were able to par it. Many of those who were near the lead made bogey, such as Tiger Woods, who made his first bogey of the day here. The hole is the toughest of the tournament through three rounds, surrendering a total of eight birdies.
