    Nice for Rory and Shane to win. A bit anticlimactic how it finished with a missed putt sealing the win.

    Yeah it seems to carry all the benefits of an individual win. Not sure about world ranking points?

    I’m not overly sure the relevance of the leaderboard. Cantlay and Xander were there, hardly nobodies. They won and fair play. A wins a win.

    No OWGR points for team events. Importantly though it gets Shane into the last 3 signature events. Will also put him into the tournament of champions in Hawaii in January which starts the year

    great for Shane,think he owes Rory big time but this could get him going at just the right time time.

    Great win for them both. Hopefully gives Shane confidence to get it done as he was nervous when pressure was on

    Yes you could make up strong pairings from others not there...but they still had to go out and win/score in one of the hardest formats in golf.

    JT and Spieth would be together and they would.be muck

    Yes a Scandinavian team would be unreal ..

    And you could pair anyone with Scheffler and they would win it..

    Definitely moments like this show impact of LIV as you quickly run out of options trying to pair lads based on OWGR ...

    Golf is a mess..

    Shane jumps from 41st to 12th in the Fedex rankings so the week has given him a massive boost in terms of that.

    I say most of the top pros can’t be arsed playing this week and treat it as a week off. I assume morikawa is playing due to him sponsored by Zurich

    Winning is hard, it didn't matter who was on the leaderboard, Shane was still feeling it. It's his first regular PGA Tour win.

    You can see how grateful he was to Rory and Rory looks like he had a great week too.

    He won the WGC Bridgestone. Called an invitational, is that why you don't count it?

    Whereas Rory will presumably have gained a fair degree of confidence from the win - some great driving, and that last pitch on 18 - I think the biggest thing for Shane is the FedEx points and exemptions. H

    $1.3m, nothing to be sniffed at, especially the FedEx as just pointed out

    WGC, so they didn't have a regular PGA tour field, limited field, more international players etc

    Of course this one isn't really regular tour event either but he'll take it!

    Great to see Shane at last top of the leaderboard after round 4. I know it's a different type of event, but it's a win for him along with Rory.Well done to them.

    Another tournament with no pressure to make the cut and he's still unable to challenge. Very poor.

    Very poor putting ,bad luck on plugged bunkers and then runs out of patience and hits water.Hard to believe he can be nearly 20 shots behind after 3 rounds,not at races currently .Unless Rory is his partner.

    I think if he can birdie even one of the back 9 par 5s and avoid bogeys he’ll be in contention tomorrow

    God, he'd love to have that one back and give it a real go, a bit tentative in a huge moment.

    He'll be kicking himself.

    Fantastic round Shane, bring it home tomorrow!

    it’s quite a statement to say you posted a better round of golf in a major than Tiger Woods ever managed. Hopefully he can reset for today and finish strong.

    If he won from where he was after round two it would be one of the all time great major wins. He'll need 66 or lower in my opinion.

    Based on history, I'd say it's almost impossible to back up such a great round with another round low enough to get the win.

    I am inclined to agree with you ,I imagine it will be somebody else's turn to shoot the lights out but heres hoping.

    I agree it's unlikely he'll post up another super low number today but if he can just stay steady and consistent he'll be in with a shout. He has experience of getting over the the line in a major too so that's a big bonus.
