Attention all golf enthusiasts! The WM Phoenix Open is heating up, and we've got an exciting battle brewing. The leader, Hideki Matsuyama, is holding strong, but don't count out the determined Matt Fitzpatrick just yet!
Matsuyama, a two-time Phoenix champion, is currently one shot ahead after an impressive third round. But here's where it gets controversial: Fitzpatrick, trailing by just two shots, is ready to make his move on the final day. With a score of 68, Matsuyama narrowly missed a birdie putt that could have extended his lead.
The leaderboard is packed with talent. Joining Matsuyama at the top are Ryo Hisatsune, Nicolai Hojgaard, Si Woo Kim, and Maverick McNealy, all tied for second place. Fitzpatrick, along with Michael Thorbjornsen, Jake Knapp, and Akshay Bhatia, form a four-way tie for third.
And this is the part most people miss: World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, despite being five shots back, is still very much in the hunt for his 21st PGA Tour title and second of the year. Scheffler, who won the American Express in January, is drawing inspiration from his 2016 Phoenix Open victory, where he came from behind to claim the title.
