Sebastian Munoz (-21) shot a third-round score of 66 and will enter Sunday’s finale of the AT&T Byron Nelson holding a one-shot lead over Jordan Spieth (-20).
Other big names in the chase include Joaquin Niemann (-19), Justin Thomas (-18) and Scottie Scheffler (-16).
Quick Hits
- Munoz holds 54-hole lead/co-lead for the fourth time in his PGA Tour career. In three prior 54-hole leads/co-leads, he failed to break 70 in the final round. Converted one of three to a victory: 2019 Sanderson Farms Championship.
- Spieth posted a 64 with nine birdies. He seeks a second win in as many starts after claiming the RBC Heritage in a playoff last month. Spieth’s won back-to-back Tour starts twice: 2017 (Travelers Championship, The Open Championship) and 2015 (U.S. Open, John Deere Classic).
- Niemann sits solo third after a Saturday 65. The Chilean star has converted 48 of 50 putts from inside 10 feet this week, holing 279’ 2” of putts; looks to become the sixth multiple winner this season.
- James Hahn fired a bogey-free round of 11-under 61 to jump 34 spots up the leaderboard to T4 on 18 under.
- Thomas carded a 64 to join Hahn in the four spot. JT seeks his 15th PGA Tour title; a victory would mark at least one title in seven consecutive seasons – an active streak second only to Dustin Johnson (14), who has yet to win this season.
- Defending champion K.H. Lee sits four strokes back at -17, alongside Ryan Palmer and Charl Schwartzel.
- World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler signed for a clean card (65) to sit T9 on 16 under.
- Hideki Matsuyama (-14) was T18 after a third-round 69.
- Dustin Johnson (-13) sits just outside the top 20 at T21, following a day-three 66.
