All times are eastern.

Stewart Cink, Heath Slocum, Kevin Streelman
Tee time: 9:30 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 6
Why you should watch:
It would surprise no one if Cink or Slocum shot 63 to seal the victory in the Travelers Championship, but Streelman's Sunday performance is impossible to predict. He recently put a new putter in his bag, and the rookie used only 45 putts combined in Rounds 2 and 3. Streelman is playing with almost unmatched confidence after his strong opening last week in the U.S. Open.

2008 Stat Comparison
Player Events Played Cuts Made 1st 2nd 3rd Top 10 Top 25 Scoring Avg.
Cink 14 13 -- 2 2 6 10 70.71
Slocum 16 14 -- -- -- 4 5 71.39
Streelman 17 10 -- -- -- -- 1 72.45

Vijay Singh, Tommy Armour III, Kenny Perry
Tee time: 9:20 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 43
Why you should watch:
Tommy Armour III is the wild card in this supergroup. Armour makes birdies in bunches -- he has torched TPC River Highlands' back nine for 13 birdies this week. His 19 birdies through three rounds leads the field. If he can get some putts to fall, he could easily shoot in the low 60s and pass the field for his third PGA TOUR win.

2008 Stat Comparison
Player Events Played Cuts Made 1st 2nd 3rd Top 10 Top 25 Scoring Avg.
Singh 14 12 -- 2 1 4 9 70.71
Armour III 14 9 -- -- -- 3 4 71.49
Perry 16 15 1 1 1 3 8 70.56

Michael Letzig, Chris DiMarco, Jon Mills
Tee time: 8:59 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 5
Why you should watch
: DiMarco entered the Travelers Championship having broken 70 just five times in 2008, but the veteran has already done that three times this weekend, including a 64 on Saturday that thrust him near the lead. DiMarco will be playing with a pair of Nationwide Tour graduates, Letzig and Mills, that each have the ability to win on TOUR. Letzig shot the lowest round (60) on the Nationwide Tour in 2007, and Mills is already well on his way to securing his PGA TOUR card for 2009.

2008 Stat Comparison
Player Events Played Cuts Made 1st 2nd 3rd Top 10 Top 25 Scoring Avg.
Letzig 16 7 -- -- -- 2 3 71.80
DiMarco 15 6 -- -- -- -- 1 72.84
Mills 17 10 -- -- -- -- 2 72.04
