Only two ways that can happen. First is if he was so far ahead after round 3, he could get away with only shooting par. Second is if the rest of the field shot really poorly, the third round leaders all fell behind him. Delta pilots don't lead the industry in one single section of the contract, so scenario one doesn't work. The current leaders going backward and below us in this environment seems unlikely.
So given our place on the leaderboard and the fact that tomorrow's weather looks great, Delta pilots shooting 18 pars ain't gonna win.

That's because a win isn't determined by your score on the final day (one section of a contract). A win is determined by your cumulative score from all 4 days (all sections of the contract). Currently, Delta pilots don't lead in any section of the contract. No green jacket for you Herk.

Don't know how you can say that given the fact there's only 8 months left in it.
