WHAT TO WATCH IN ROUND 4:
• FedExCup Race: Despite a pair of double bogeys, Mark Wilson managed a 3-under 68 in round three to remain in the top-5 headed into Sunday's final round. Wilson is the only player in the field that can take over Nick Watney's lead in the FedExCup standings. Wilson would need a win this week to take over Watney. Projections

• Holding on: Stricker has previously held at least a share of the 54-hole lead 12 times, half of which he has parlayed into victory. Most recently, he led by three over 2007 John Deere Classic champion Jonathan Byrd at this year's Memorial Tournament and won by a stroke.
