Groups we're watching: EDS Byron Nelson Championship final round

text size

All times are central.

Tim Herron, Craig Kanada, Corey Pavin
Tee: No. 1
Tee time: 10:48 a.m.
Total TOUR wins: 19
Why you should watch: Tim Herron and Craig Kanada have both shot two rounds in the 60s this week with one round of 74 each hampering their overall scores. If they can hone in and focus on Sunday to make that three rounds in the 60s, they might be able to do some leaping up the leaderboard. They are both at even par, which means 8-shots off the lead, but another day like Saturday could at least get them some top-10 finishes. Don't forget, Craig Kanada -- who lives in Houston -- is playing in his home state this week. Wouldn't he love to get his first TOUR win in the Lone Star State? Corey Pavin is also at even par for the tournament but with three rounds of 72, 70 and 68 respectively. Each day he has played two-strokes better than the day before. Can he fire a 66 on Sunday to keep the trend and move up the leaderboard?

Charley Hoffman, Ryan Moore, Sergio Garcia
Tee: No. 1
Tee time: 11:35 a.m.
Total TOUR wins: 7
Why you should watch: What's not to like about this group? The unmistakable mop-topped Charley Hoffman has shot three rounds in the 60s this week, placing him at 5-under par, just three-shots back from leader Adam Scott. His consistency on the course has paid off, but he'll need to push it a little bit further in order to catch and replace the leader. Also at 5 under, Ryan Moore's first-round 67 gave him the headstart to play into contention on Sunday. Though he carded a 70 (at a par-70 course) on Friday, he has been on the radar all week and could go home with his first TOUR win if he can go low in the final round. Sergio Garcia has been noticeably missing from the top of the leaderboard this season -- is this his week to come back? The 28-year-old six-time TOUR winner tore up the course in the third round with an impressive 65 (quite a feat on a par-70 course) and moved 27 spots from tied for 33rd to tied for sixth, four shots behind the leader. Maybe it's the metamorphic beard. Maybe it's the old putter. But something has this Spaniard fired up, and he looks ready as ever to grab another TOUR win.

Adam Scott, Bart Bryant, Kevin Sutherland
Tee: No. 1
Tee time: 11:45 a.m.
Total TOUR wins: 9
Why you should watch: Will 27-year-old Adam Scott add his name to the already long list of winners under 30 this season? The Australian superstar came out of the gate looking hot and hasn't cooled down since. He takes a three-shot lead into Sunday's final round as well as "must-win" attitude that has been responsible for a 68 and two 67s in the last three rounds. Scott looked good to defend his title in Houston a few weeks ago before illness forced him to withdraw from the field. Now he's back in Texas with a big want for the win. Bart Bryant looked into the eye of the Tiger last month and came out in second place. The 45-year-old has been knocking at the door of victory all season with one runner-up finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and five top-25 finishes -- and there's no Tiger in the field this week to break his heart with a 24-foot putt on 18 to seal the deal. Kevin Sutherland flirted big time with the lead on Saturday after making three birdies and an eagle, which rocketed him to the top spot on the leaderboard. But two consecutive bogeys to close his round on 17 and 18 saw his chance of an overnight lead into Sunday disappear and helped Scott resume his front-runner position. Don't count him out though; Sutherland is only three shots back and if he can play as well as he did pre 17 and 18 yesterday, he can easily take back that top spot.
