Transcript

00:00Hello, it's Martin Dempster, the Scotsman Golf Correspondent here, coming to you from

00:07the Bahama in the Bahamas, the main hotel for spectators who are attending this week's

00:18Hero World Challenge hosted by Tiger Woods.

00:21A little bit tougher out at Albany Golf Course today, there was a bit of breeze after two

00:26days, hardly any wind at all.

00:31Scotty Scheffler, he started the day out in front, the defending champion, world number

00:37one and the game's dominant force this year, however he's been overtaken after 54 holes

00:45by Justin Thomas, the two-time PGA champion, shot a 60-60 day to move to 17 under par and

00:55he leads by one shot from Scheffler going into the final 18 holes.

01:02Thomas hasn't won since he claimed the second of his PGA Tour championships and was not

01:09at his best at the end of last year, however in his first event as a new dad he's produced

01:18a really polished performance so far and as I say he leads by one from Scheffler going

01:25into the final 18 holes.

01:27Korean Tom Kim, he's a further shot behind after shooting a magnificent 62 today which

01:34included a hole out from a greenside bunker at the last.

01:39Bob McIntyre, who's making his debut in the event, the first Scot to play in it since

01:432016, he sits 7th on 9 under par.

01:49Bob really has given a good account of himself so far, he looks very much at home in this

01:54elite 20-man field, he's a top 15 player in the world now and he'll be looking to sign

02:02off his year with a big final round tomorrow.
