Saturday thoughts
* The American media covering the event are as one, fully expecting Scheffler to make the most of moving day at -2, despite a poor driver, only 7 fairways
* Rory " I shot myself back in contention, I think with the weather improving, the pins at least more accessible you could get on a run on the front nine with your wedges to get a few under par"
* Canadians Corey Conners /Nick Taylor together, will be encouraging each other and at T30 +1 a good start will go a long way to becoming a factor.
* With this field so bunched due to the severity of Aronimink, there is nobody getting away from each other, and that opens the door for everyone.
* A key word from all the Friday interviews apart from the pin placements was "Patience." Par is a very good score, bogey's are to be expected, birdies will be plentiful today in ideal conditions so I expect scoring to be lower, and those who have patience will be rewarded.
