The tee times for Round 3 are here.


The last pairing of the morning features the board’s leader in Jordan Spieth. He’ll tee off at 10:55 a.m., along with Matt Kuchar, who is in second after Friday’s round. Spieth finished his Friday outing at one-under, facing some tough weather conditions. Rory McIlroy also had a good round on Friday, shooting 2-under to move up 52 spots to tied for sixth.
According to Weather.com, the forecast overnight in Southport calls for rain, which will make the greens much softer for Saturday’s round. We’ll have to wait and see how the rain affects the course in the morning.
