We’re 18 holes away from crowning the second to last winner of the PGA Tour regular season. Tony Finau, who won last week’s 3M Open, is in position to win for the second straight week. If he goes on to raise the trophy, he’d become the first player to do so in back-to-back weeks since Patrick Cantlay in 2021 (BMW Championship, Tour Championship).
Right by his side is Taylor Pendrith who, to his credit, didn’t back down from the challenge Saturday, staying with Finau stride for stride. He tied the big man with a birdie at the last. Both players sit at 21 under.
Cameron Young, who finished solo second at The Open in his last start, is also right there thanks to a Friday 62 and Saturday 65. He’s four back.
Here are five takeaways from the third round of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club.
