The Florida Swing continues. All times are eastern.

Stewart Cink, Geoff Ogilvy, Brandt Snedeker
Tee time:
1:05 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 8
Why you should watch: Stewart Cink will start the final round with a two-shot advantage, but there won't be much room for error even if the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook plays as one of the most difficult on TOUR. Geoff Ogilvy, a major champion, and Brandt Snedeker, a sensational sophomore, will be hot on Snedeker's heels. That said, Cink will be up to the challenge. Despite the drubbing he took in the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship final at the hands of Tiger Woods, there's no denying Cink is on top of his game. It'll be a fun back nine to watch with this threesome.

Kevin Sutherland, Bart Bryant, Mark Calcavecchia
Tee time:
12:44 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 17
Why you should watch: This trio will begin the day at 1-under par, four shots behind leader Stewart Cink. At a course as difficult as the Copperhead course, things can change in a hurry. Not to mention when Mark Calcavecchia is in the mix. He's coming off a nice finish at The Honda Classic and, don't forget, he's the defending champion at the PODS Championship. Can he make it two wins in two years? We'll see.

maruyama_trio.jpg

Shigeki Maruyama, Paul Casey, Lee Janzen
Tee time:
11:51 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 11
Why you should watch: Shigeki Maruyama and Lee Janzen haven't necessarily been at their best the last few years, but one good week on the PGA TOUR can change everything and this could very well be that week for both players. Paul Casey, on the other hand, is one of the finest young players Europe has to offer and it's only a matter of time before he breaks through to get his first PGA TOUR title.

2008 Stat Comparision
Player Events Cuts Made 1st 2nd 3rd Top 10 Top 25 Scoring Average
Maruyama 7 4 -- -- -- -- 1 70.76
Casey 2 2 -- -- -- 1 2 69.53
Janzen 3 1 -- -- -- -- -- 71.73
