Sergio Garcia, Jay Williamson, Lucas Glover
Tee time:
4 p.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 8
Why you should watch: Sergio Garcia has been playing outstanding golf lately. Jay Williamson is playing in front of the home crowd. And Lucas Glover -- well, he's looking for a good finish after a tough couple of months. Garcia fired up the crowd early in the second round on Saturday when he aced the par-3 third, but he gave those shots back with two closing bogeys. Williamson (60th in points) stayed in the hunt with a 69 but will need to go low late Saturday to bolster his Playoff hopes.

Anthony Kim, Phil Mickelson, J.B. Holmes
Tee time:
4:10 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 38
Why you should watch: Mickelson made a remarkable move in the second round, firing a bogey-free 65 in which is hit almost every fairway and almost every green. Kim authored a solid 67 that also placed him among the contenders. Holmes unraveled late on the back nine in the second round and finished with a 73, severely hurting his chances of making it to East Lake.

Camilo Villegas, Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry
Tee time:
4:50 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 16
Why you should watch: Camilo Villegas did nothing to show that he isn't ready to win on the PGA TOUR. The Colombian had one slip-up in the second round -- he double-bogeyed the ninth -- but he also racked up six birdies, the last of which gave him the outright lead at nine under. Stricker and Perry both fell off the pace when they failed to go low in the second round.

2008 Stat Comparison
Player Events Played Cuts Made 1st 2nd 3rd Top 10 Top 25 Scoring Avg.
Villegas 20 17 -- -- 2 5 8 70.99
Stricker 20 14 -- 1 -- 5 11 70.92
Perry 24 22 3 1 1 7 12 70.11
