J.B. Holmes is scorching the Golf Club of Houston, and thanks to holes like the par-3 seventh, where his tee shot clanged off the flagstick, is on a serious 59 watch after making the turn at 7-under 29.

When Holmes casually knocked in that 15-footer for birdie, he caught up to Jordan Spieth, the 54-hole leader at the Shell Houston Open, the final tuneup before next week’s Masters.
Holmes was a human highlight reel during Sunday’s final round, what with seven birdies on his outgoing nine.
A birdie on the par-4 11th got Holmes to 16-under for the week and gave him the outright lead with lots of golf left to play.
