WOW.....INCREDIBLE
Will Zalatoris just made one of the most incredible bogeys you've ever seen. Amazing.
On the par-3 sixth hole he hit a terrible shot right and into a bush. After a 15-minute ordeal, taking an unplayable lie and trying to figure out where to actually drop the ball and put it in play, Zalatoris decided that the best position would be to hit it from the cart path.
So, yes, from the cart path, Zalatoris chipped it to 5 feet and made the bogey putt to save from further damage. He's now at 7 under par and only two shots behind Mito Pereira.
Incredible drama there.

Mito back in the solo lead
Mito Pereira birdied the par-5 fifth hole to regain the solo lead at 9 under par, on shot ahead of Will Zalatoris.
But Zalatoris has a bit of an issue up ahead on the sixth hole as he hit his tee shot in the left bushes. He is currently taking an unplayable lie and would do good to make no worse than bogey from his position.
Stay tuned...
