Mitchell, who started on the back, pulled his drive and then his next drop into the pond on the 377-yard par-4 7th hole, falling to 4 over for the tournament. He added a three-putt bogey on the final hole of the day to finish at 3 under for 36 holes.

Because you don’t know how many chances like this you will get. Journeyman Scott Piercy led by five shots in the final round of the 2022 3M Open before imploding over the final 11 holes, lowlighted by a triple bogey on No. 14 in which he found the water on his approach out of a difficult lie from a fairway bunker.

Thursday marked the rare day on the PGA Tour where it was possible to score even while not rolling the rock well.
