somewhere high above space and see if he can just stop it with the height. reentry there. right over the top of it. good play. about 30 feet bit. you can see all that mess short where he was. he had to hit the cart path to get the drive up that far. let's go to number two. ian: dottie mentioned earlier today following michael thompson how well he was putting. 22 putts in that second round. looks good over it. and it continues. wonderful up and down. wonderful save from where that second shot ended up for michael thompson. final grouping waiting on the group ahead because of that ruling. peter: the longer they look at the green, the longer their second shots feel, ian. ian: i agree. it's always been a brutal hole, that one. even tougher now with another tee put in. so a birdie-bogey start for tony. he said his main goal this year, apart from winning, was to make that presidents cup team in australia at royal melbourne later in -- this year in december. he really wants to get on tiger's team. still plenty of light. you can see there, adam set to go. just a tap-in left and now he'll get set to go. peter: 222 yards for adam. ian: that's what it looked like from their angle. we did iris up in the cameras to get it look a little brighter, a little clearer. great work. >> go hard. ian: he knew it. right online but a club shore. peter: just came out of that lie a little bit dead. ian: well, better there than over the back. peter: absolutely. he had 222 and j.b. and j.t. have 190, 191. ian: quickly over to 16, tiger's putt. gary: here's what we have. we have a hump over here on the right and it's going to throw the ball to the left and then try to come back to the right. and it's getting dark. so in other words, hard putt. dottie: i think it's easier that there are no shadows in the way. everything is nice and flat and consistent. gary: everybody thinks this putt comes back at the end but -- dottie: not as much. gary: yeah, it straightens out. but he's a wily veteran. for his seventh three. seventh three in the last eight holes and just kind of keep waome bk a little bit. dottie: i didn't think he could leave that short. gary: it's getting a little sticky out here right now. the air is getting moist. along with that a little cold. and j.b. is going at it. number two. peter: he's in the fairway, 191. they have to figure out how much this colder air affects the distance the ball travels. offensively oh, and he has got an little long. maybe seeing adam scott's ball come up so short. i love the way he turns through the ball, so aggressive. peter: now just one yard closer for justin thomas. sticks his follow-through beautifully. well balanced. ian: best iron player on tour. peter: wow, both he and j.b. holmes, huge errors. offensively hmm, that will be an interesting little chip. land it short of the green, it doesn't get on. you land it on and it scoots by. over to three. gary: jordan spieth now, from the fringe, and he just pounled that one. ooh. gets cold, you lose a little bit of feeling. we'll go with that. jim: so we're running out of time. third-round coverage will continue tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. 7:00 here local. as expected, 7:00 a.m. restart and you can see that on pgatour.com. pgatour live will have it all for you. there's your leaderboard. just a logjam on the second hole so i thought we knight might see the lead group get through three holes. i don't think that's possible now. nick: no. jim: this is going to be it and you heard a little discussion about that earlier. bubba in the top 10 with rahm, who's two under through four holes. back to 16. gary: tiger now with his two-putt. good news is it's another three and he's had a lot of them in the last eight and these guys are going to tee off here so dottie, what have you got here at 17? dottie: that crack you heard in the background was peter malnati's tee shot. they're going to play 17. peter ran ahead just as tiger was putting. totally legal, by the way. ian: just 30 seconds away from sunset. this is exactly wait looks like. tiger about to tee it up. the group ahead just in the fairway. the group ahead of them just leaving the green so they're heading to the 18th tee. nick: i guess they wanted to hit one more tee shot while they're warm. ian: yes, and the more they play tonight, the less they'll have to play tomorrow. nick: we're talking about ask -- can they play the extra half a hole? this is it for everybody. dottie: it is really not that dark out here. that starts just left of center. ian: that was pretty good. yum hill. 271 yards of carry. cold, damp conditions. back at two. in front of the green, adam scott. peter: looking to pitch it and let it release. not bad, about four feet. ian: it did grip a little bit too soon. nice action. at three. gary: it looks bright over on three, doesn't it? kyle jones. snowflake, arizona. hook, ball. all right. got off to a nice start, playing well up there in the rarefied air of a thursday late tee night. let's go to number two. ian: it all depends on the lie. peter: the difficulty is can he barely carry it onto the green? oh, he just did. ian: made it look easy and i can promise you that wasn't. excellent. confidence. at three. gary: ok, rory, after that drive in the right result sand wedge to this poison. whoa. whoa, whoa, whoa. he runs that by about three, three and a half feet. he'll go to the change and calm down for a second. let's go to phil. jim: at the 15th. nick: trying to swoop one around. the bunker. just makes it. stuck in the gully. jim: back to two. ian: he'd love to play this one as well. peter: he caught the leading edge and it kind of jumped the ball forward a little. that's when this grass makes chipping to difficult because you have to take the bump and run out of play. gary: jordan's had a little bit of troubit right now. he made what a four-footer on the first hole for a three-putt? this one won't be a three-putt but he was off the green and putted it. so a very clumsy start for mr. spieth. now we're going to go back to number two. ian: a little work work left for the pars with this grouping. gary: -- peter: j.b. holmes will be first and he'll have a good, solid eight feet. ian: as we go to three and rory. gary: right in the back of the hole. if they're going to play at three, i guarantee these guys are going to play the par 3 fourth hole so on ward we go. into the darkness we flail. ian: wonderful save. good angles on that putting shaft for j.b. peter: adam's caddie now putting the flagstick back if the hole. j.b. electing to putt with it out. and ian, this is where i think there could be a huge advantage. there's not much movement to this putt and now he has a half inch stick to aim at instead of a four 1/2-inch hole. roip ian: yeah, it's definitely helped him. as his confidence builds, he continues to do and it that's what's been holding him back so just an extra alignment tool is what it's doing for adam and that's what improves the confidence. it's all in the mind fed -- mind. head to -- ahead to three. gary: patrick rodgers. hit the ball way up in the air and that helped stop it. perfect. you can see he's kind of straining to see where it is so these guys are having a little difficulty now seeing the ball on their shots. let's go to two. ian: shouldn't be any trouble. peter: justin thomas was signaling to j.b. holmes after he putted out to run over and hit his tee shot in case they blew the horn. ian: that's good if they want to keep going. peter: but j.b. didn't understand. he stood there. they'll have to start using hand signals. michael thompson -- there it is, back left. bad news is the pin is front right. that's all management. tiger, 17. dottie: it's the new 3-wood that he put in the bag this week. 3 -- 268 front, 2 3 to the hole. ian: oh! went left. and caught the trees, dropped straight down. dottie: you're having a good day -- ian: exactly. he was trying to pound that up there on the green. dottie: that was doable. ian: 273, a little uphill. jim: fourth hole, par 3. it is a great one. kyle jones. nick: and it's all of it, 236. please reach the green. putting do you know the north face of the iger. -- eiger. jim: back to three. gary: that bunker is nonexistent for these guys. they have a lot of room up there. peter: this is hard down the right. gary: well, cart path over there and the ball sounded like it kind of half plugged. made that thud sound. ok. four. jim: mcilroy. made birdie about 7:05 this morning. started his day at sun-up on this tee and then will close his day on the fourth green. a moment ago at the 159, mickelson. nick: this is the same difficulty as the putt he made on the 10th. that's pretty good. that is really awkward to putt. sitting on an angled plateau with that flag on the right side of 15. jim: over to three. gary: let's watch this. perfect masterpiece. and that's in the left rough no. problem, though. just barely in the left rough. and the pin is in the front right so we have a nice angle at it. [horn sounding] gary: every time phil goes to hit it -- phil is getting the horn for darkness and you can -- as phil goes to put this, if you're playing the hole, you can go ahead if you want and finish the hole. that's it, though. jim: well, he doesn't have to think about that one all night long. nick: yeah, phil is grinding and tiger is ripping through the field. jim: j.b., meanwhile, back at the third. peter: this one was earlier and this one was left to left. nick: wow. peter: there's evil stuff. we have to get the camera away. there we go. over there there's evil. long stuff. [horns sounding] gary: sirens. sounds like the freeway, 405. everybody is honking at each other. they're not going anywhere but they're honking. jim: fourth hole, spieth. good shot here by spieth. they've amentaled the plan for tomorrow. they've moved it up to 6:45. nick: when's sun-up? [laughter] jim: 6:50. it's right around that time. peter: talking to a couple of players who played last week and this week, they're fed up with the 3:30 wake-up calls. nick: yeah. where are we? sunrise, 6:35. jim: it makes it a very difficult warm-up, doesn't it? nick: another week in the dark on the range, freezing cold. jim: a little bit of a break over here at 1, ian. ian: yes, definitely. gary: ian, he's drawn a pretty good lie. ian: looks great. joe mccarver give you a number? dottie: 8 yards to the hole and a dead stop behind it. i hate to tell you, it's a lob wedge. ian: ok, i hope he controls the spin. defensive still pretty dead-handed. too dead handed. ian: maybe the depth perception with it getting darker, not good there. it certainly wasn't the lie's fault. dottie: the lie was fine. jim: he's the guy i saw one time at firestone with an 8-iron from 178 knock it to within a foot of the custom. darker than this, trust me. ian: i know but his eyesight was younger too. gary: jim nantz, i have to call this it's so dark i can't see my notes and if i can't see my notes, i can't announce. jim: i know how diligent you are about note taking and preparation. gary: i don't know what to do, jim. nick: wow. gary: yeah, i can't read in this stuff, guys. can't do it, sorry. i'm like phil. unlike phil, i should say. that's daveraget got a couple of lights on the score boards over here we can kind of glean some information from. let's go to four. jim: spieth for birdie. boy, does he need it. a little positive vibe going into the night. nick: all of a sudden, it's a mind bender for him. jim: that will be it for him for the night. 17. ian: cody gribble, his third. dottie: he's gotten steam rolled here this afternoon, ian. five over par. ian: oh, that's no good. spin back. yeah, here it comes. still a large crowd out here, dottie. dottie: large and enthusiastic. ian: it's certainly late in the day and they were all a bit upset when they heard that horn go. they thought everyone would go in once the horn blew but it's only when it's one long blast in dangerous conditions that they must come off the course. mark the ball and come in but those three short blasts, you get to finish the hole you've started. dottie: tiger has marked his ball. he will not be playing anymore. nick: i'll belt his thumb is frozen. that's why. the way he's gesturing there. there's no point in forcing it, is there? you need to be clear so you have a lot of golf tomorrow. not rushing anywhere. dottie: i think it was a very, very wise move on his behalf. ian: he just hit two terrible shots after all the great ones previously so good move. the other two guys, his playing companions, they can finish off. just biger said i've had enough for today. they can finish if they would like. let's check in with peter kostis. peter: ian, i'm down here with your fellow aussie, adam scott and he and j.t. have elect not to play the rest of the third hole. how do these conditions affect what you can do or not do with the golf ball? >> it's getting a bit dark. i'd like to play because it's not too windy but i have no depth perception. peter: tomorrow you get to come back with fresh greens and hopefully it won't be any colder than this. >> hopefully not or windy. it's actually quite nice to play other than it's cold. we have a long day tomorrow so one shot is hopefully not going to make the difference at this point. peter: thank you. i'll let you go in and get warm. >> cheers, man. jim: peter, let's go back to you. peter: i am down with justin thomas and we've had our fill of cold and early mornings and late nights. >> i'm just trying to get over that 6:45 start they just heard. [laughter] that's in a couple of hours. peter: 6:45 start. that means you have to be in place, are told go. what time do you set the wake-up call for? >> i'll start warming up about 5:45. so i need to eat about 5:15. see my phsio at 3:00 or a little before so my alarm will be 4:15,4:30 tomorrow for the third straight play. bill: -- peter: there's a lot more than goes into this than most people reads, isn't there zirks wouldn't trade places but yes, there definitely is a lot more. dottie: tiger, a couple of rounds stuck in overdrive to start this one. what was the difference? >> i made a couple of putts. first round, four three-putts are not very well. i putted good today. made a lot of good shots. the wind was pumping early and i was able to flight it right through it. dottie: what will be the key to maintaining that momentum into finishing this round and starting the fourth? >> it's just going to be cold tomorrow morning so it's try and get off to a good start. i have an up and down i have to make at 17. 18 is not going to be playing short but i have to get that hole too. playing almost like a par 4. it's going to be key to get through two. 17, 18, one, two, i have to do some damage through those holes. dottie: what will be the key to you to making a 6:45 restart successful? >> i don't know why they're going earlier. it's not going to even be light yet, i don't think. early this morning and we could barely be tomorrow. we have to get in basically two solid rounds tomorrow so they're going to be pushing to us get influence, give us a bag of lunch and half we go in the afternoon. dottie: when does the alarm go off for you? >> probably get up somewhere around 2:00 or iii and start the process. this has been a long week and we're almost done. dottie: that being said, sleep fast. >> exactly. jim: how about that? 2:00 or 3:00? nick: he only gets four hours of sleep so -- wow. jim: wow, he certainly came out here the third round and absolutely lilt this place up. that was a birdie at the 10th, his first hole. nick: but the quality of the shots. hit a fantastic 5-wood into 11 to there. jim: and that led to eagle. nick: great shot at 1 from out the rough. jim: birdie-eagle. you're picking up at least a shot on the field at 12 with another birdie and another one at 13. so you made up a lot of ground at this point starting at one under and all of a sudden look up and you're minus six. pars at 14, 15, and 16. he is -- he's going to have to work in the morning when he starts at 6:45 to make a 5 at 17, make his par there but he has suddenly vaulted over about 30 participants with his start to round number three. justin thomas continues to play fantastic golf, including eagle on his first hole of round three. so a 6:45 restart and they'll probably finish somewhere in the neighborhood of 11:00 local time tomorrow morning and then they outnd begin round four. again tomorrow, third-round coverage continues. on pgatour.com, pga tour live. golf channel is going to be on first in the morning too so you'll want to stay in touch with this tournament through all of those great sources and then we're back tomorrow, 1:00 local, 3:00 eastern time. final round of the genesis open. well, that's another six hours in the books and, you know, nick, it's interesting that last week at pebble beach on sunday, we were on till after 9:00 eastern time so here we are this week now residing right off of sunset beloved and we've two -- gone to sunset for the second straight week. for the second time in six weeks. i've enjoyed it. prime-time golf. nick: unbelievable. what tiger did is fantastic and you know i'm the other genesis fan as well as this genesis and there's a song called "keep it dark." jim: i've heard a few of those today. phil collins appreciates, that your old pal and you saw the beautiful sunset look out behind us, looking out west but it's nighttime now, officially and the next time the sun will be seen around here, the players will be back in position. nick: i am glad the guys described what they have to go through in the morning. as justin said, four mornings in a row he has to get up to be a pro golfer. jim: justin anonymous will go into sunday with the lead by one. he'll have to finish up the third hole and then he'll play 33 more. we hope you've enjoyed all the coverage. our thanks to owl the crew and for you for being with us. for sir nick and everyone on the cbs golf team. jim nantz saying so long from the genesis open. we have a busy day coming your way from rivera. we can't wait to present it to you. so long for now. live from the cbs bay area studios. this is kpix 5 news. >> we are willing to fight until we win. >> now at 6:00, thousands of teachers in oakland say enough is enough. now the district has just days to meet their demccants meadowlands before they -- demands before they hit the picket lines. one bay area county can't take anymore. tonight a state of emergency in marin.. first, we are following breaking news in the east bay where a massive police presence shutdown part of the caldecott tunnel. >> on the westbound side of highway 24 reopened about an hour ago after a two-hour closure. it's still not clear what happened inside the called caught, but this is what it -- caldecott, but this is what it looked like. people posted to social media as they crawled pass a stopped car surrounded by police vehicles. there might have been a pursuit involving a suspect with a gun. >> -- gun pointing -- suspect has a gun pointing at an -- is there a unit that can advise?
