CT: McIlroy misses the green left off the tee on the short par-4, but he plays a mesmerizing pitch that uses the slope to the right of the green and rolls to within 6 feet of the cup. CT: McIlroy makes easy work of the short par-4 fifth; his tee shot finds an ideal position just short of the green, and he chips to 3 feet for a conceded birdie. CT: McIlroy plays a fade off the tee and over-cuts it, but he has a clear angle to the green on his approach and takes advantage with a mid-iron from 187 yards to 13 feet. CT: Young chooses to lay up off the tee on the short par-4 13th; McIlroy plays his tee shot safely to the right of the putting surface. Young hits his tee shot just short of the green at the par-4 18th, chips to 8 feet and drains the birdie. CT: Burns plays a pristine iron to 10 feet at the par-3 fourth, hole-high, taking the clear advantage as Scheffler plays to the middle of the green, 30 feet out. CT: Burns takes an unplayable after an errant drive on the par-4 fifth; he plays his third shot to 14 feet and the par try catches a piece of the hole but does not drop. Burns cannot convert the birdie to win the match, and Scheffler's birdie to send the match to extra holes is center-cut. CT: Burns tugs his tee shot left on the par-3 seventh, but he shows off his short game with a crafty up-and-down, draining a 10-foot par to tie the hole as Scheffler cannot get his 19-foot birdie to drop. CT: Scheffler plays his second to the front of the green on the par-5 12th, leaving a cross-country eagle try, as Burns finds a greenside bunker with his second shot, playing from there to 22 feet. CT: A sudden reversal of fortune, as Burns hits a crisp approach from a fairway bunker to 15 feet, as Scheffler's approach from the right-center of the fairway sails over the green. Burns has a reasonably clear line to the green and executes a smart shot to the center of the green, leaving a 27-foot birdie try.
