Sunday marks not just the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Golf Club, but the first Sunday with live golf from the PGA Tour in 98 days.
Golfweek managing editor Tim Schmitt joined JuliaKate E. Culpepper Sunday from Fort Worth, Texas, to discuss the leaders at Colonial headed into the final 18 holes and how golfers are feeling after nearly three months without an event.
Xander Schauffele leads at 13 under after the third round with five other golfers including Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Jordan Spieth one shot back.
“I think it was Justin Thomas yesterday who said, ‘I didn’t expect it to be this intense.’ You know with the lack of crowd, people kind of coming back, getting their legs under them again,” Schmitt said. ‘This has been very intense. You know, it’s not a major-like feel but it’s pretty serious. I mean these guys, those competitive juices that have been kind of simmering inside for three months, they’ve all bubbled up to the surface here and you can tell.”

Schmitt also discussed the impact the Texas heat has had on players who tee off in the afternoon and a tailgate he found off Colonial grounds that has a glimpse of the 15th green and 16th tee.
