The nervous tension was all too obvious today. All three of the leaders had a wobble: Collin Morikawa at the start, Louis Oosthuizen in the middle, Jordan Spieth at the end. All three ended the round where they started it, in positions one, two and three. So much for Moving Day, huh? Well, tell that to Corey Conners, whose 66 catapulted him towards the top of a high-quality leader board. Good luck picking a winner from this lot. Hope you'll join us for the dramatic denouement tomorrow. Thanks for reading this blog. Nighty night!

-12: Oosthuizen
-11: Morikawa
-9: Spieth
-8: Conners, Scheffler
-7: Rahm, Hughes, Frittelli
-6: Smith, Harding, Siem
-5: Streelman, Simpson, Berger, Lowry, Casey, Sullivan
-4: MacIntyre, Kokrak, Dahmen, Willett, Tringale, Grillo, Johnson
