The stage is set for an electrifying final day at Memorial Park, with Gary Woodland narrowly ahead of Nicolai Højgaard by a single stroke. As the tournament wraps up on Sunday, all eyes are on Woodland, who last led a 54-hole event solo at the 2019 U.S. Open.

The Contestants

  • Gary Woodland aims to maintain his slim lead, as he charts a path reminiscent of past triumphs.
  • Nicolai Højgaard, just one stroke behind, has put Denmark on the map by achieving two historically low rounds, now hunting for his first PGA Tour title.
  • Min Woo Lee, the defending champion, hopes to secure back-to-back wins, a feat not accomplished in decades, though currently six strokes behind at 12-under par.

Højgaard is on the brink of becoming the first Danish winner on the PGA Tour, with a potential to make the 23rd international victory at this prestigious event. Tune in to witness history in the making as this exciting round unfolds.
