A great start by Shane. I like most of the players on the leaderboard and it's likely to be a new and popular winner unless Jason makes a surge on the final round.

Yes I think Shane would be a good winner but a four shot lead is nothing in this
I said after last year's USPGA that I expect Willett and Lowry to be contending for majors in 2016. Lowry especially, I've been talking him up for a while now to anyone who will listen.
If Dustin Johnson ever wins one it would be from behind chasing. You'd know if he ever started out as leader he'd just inevitably blow it at some point anyway.
Westwood not waiting until the back 9 before crumbling. +5 for the day after 5 holes.
DJ gets within two shots then misses a tiddler for birdie. Garcia, Grace etc aren't exactly experts in sealing the deal in major's either. Piercy looks the best of the contenders at the moment.
I bet lowry at 6/1 last night, when a few of them were -3.
looked good till they started the 4th round!
Go Shane
He's holding on - fingers crossed he can stay ahead as Dustin will be just as nervous at the end. With these harsh greens anything can happen and Jim could be sitting pretty in the club house. Poor Lee, I never have confidence that he will hold up on the final day.
This is going to get interesting - DJ does get rather close to the ball with his practice strokes and again when he puts his putter behind it. Initially his playing partner Westwood seems to think he has caused it to move I think ... then DJ says he didn't ground it.
Not sure why they need to talk to DJ though unless they think he is telling porkies ...
18 holes play off on a Monday is a complete nonsense
I think there was one at Oakmont when Ernie Els, Loren Roberts and Colin Montgomerie contested it, and people thought it was great drama as it went to the final hole

However I backed neither of them.

I also had Zach for top 5, when he was 4/1 last night, at +1 - but he's made no progress.

Problems for dj
I have watched it a few times now, it's hard to say looks like it's moved but not sure if he did
Imagine that in other sports like football, 'yeah that might have been a goal we'll have a look at it and let you know after the game!'
Johnson doesn't need much to bottle it at the best of times this is going to pickle his head.
If Lowry is one shot behind playing the last, he won't know whether he needs a birdie to force a playoff or just a par.
