Stuard carded his second straight 65 on Friday and is now 10-under. Leishman and Tanihara are tied for second place at 9-under. Inclement weather is expected late in the day on Saturday, so tee times were moved up more than two hours and players will play in groups of three instead of the customary groups of two on weekends. Stuard, Leishman and Tanihara will tee off at 3 p.m. ET.
Harris English will begin the day in fourth place at 8-under. He’ll play in the second-to-last group, along with Jason Kokrak and Jimmy Walker, both of which are 7-under. Adam Scott is also 7-under. He’ll be joined by Chris Kirk and Sang-Moon Bae, with the three scheduled to tee off at 2:40 p.m. Scott played with Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner during the first two rounds. Both are tied for 17th at 5-under. Johnson will play with Justin Leonard and Ryan Palmer while Dufner will be paired with Retief Goosen and Brian Harman.
Television coverage was also moved up and is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. All the groups will be on the course with the broadcast begins, but viewers will be able to watch the majority of the leaders’ third rounds. Here is a look at the full tee sheet, all times ET:
