if round 4 is set up really tough ( do not know course ), i feel this will be the only chance for the chasing pack...will look on with interest :)
You are right, only a tough round could still give a chance to several players. They already had the best of hardest hole in round 1. Oakmont with high wind and championship greens could be nice. RSG with high wind is pretty hard also, but high wind on this course is not good, the score posted depends too much if you had a good wind set or not.
We will see :).

You guys are both right.
In my opinion, If its easy or moderate conditions and course, most likely all the players will be bunched up in scoring and Sam brings home a deserved win.
A spoiler could be high winds champ greens oak or rsg that could allow for big swings in scores. I remember Sam shooting a 53 in high winds rsg 1k readygo, He knows how to play high winds champ greens and all things equal is the odds on favorite to win. A bad windset at RSG highwinds he could shoot an excellent round and still only walk away with just a 63. If another player in the peleton got a favorable windset. it would be their best opportunity for another having a chance.
Btw, round 3 was bethpage from tourmaster tees in high winds and tourney greens. Just got the email, 4th round will be at Oakmont but i don't know the conditions yet.
