Round 4 play (4pts):
Andy Sullivan to beat David Lingmerth -108 @ Pinnacle [also available @ 5Dimes, The Greek and Carib]
This is only the 5th time that Lingmerth has started the final round of a PGA Tour event inside the top-10. In his first attempt, he did well - 1st after 54 holes of the 2013 Players Championship, he shot 72 to finish 2nd - but thereafter he has been poor, shooting 75-73-73 to fall at least 10 shots on each occasion. He showed that frailty at the start of yesterday's round when leading the tournament, but closed with two birdies in four holes to finish 2nd. Without a top-30 finish since mid-March, he looks opposable in this position. Sullivan has a very different record from this position, albeit on the European Tour. He has won twice already this year: the South African Open from 5th place at the start of the final round and the Joburg Open from 6th place. He is currently in 5th place and in the five times that he has started the final round inside the top-10 in the last year, he has shot 67-67-67-70-66 in the final round. He had a poor end to his round after he had taken a one-shot lead, but he has the history to suggest that he will be back in contention again today.
