Hideki Matsuyama holds a one-shot lead going into the fourth round of the Phoenix Open. If he were to win today, he would join Arnold Palmer, Gene Littler, Mark Calcavecchia and Phil Mickelson in winning this tournament three times,
Scottie Scheffler will not have given up hopes of claiming his own third title here. After his first round 73, he was in danger of missing the cut, but rounds of 65 and 67 have taken him to T16, five shots off the lead. Can he maintain this charge?
But the most likely challengers to the 33-year-old Japanese are in the quartet in joint second: Nicolai Højgaard, Maverick McNealy, Si Woo Kim and Ryo Hisatsune.
There are a further four golfers just a shot behind them. This is lining up to be a tight, tense final day in front of packed crowds.

Preview
It was at the Phoenix Open that Scottie Scheffler had his first PGA Tour win, in 2022. But his T25 finish here last year was his worst result of last season. He is in the field this week, hunting his 21st PGA Tour title.
The World No.1 is joined by nine others from the world’s top-ranked 20 golfers, after JJ Spaun had to pull out just before play began on day one. World number six Xander Scheffele is looking to bounce back after missing the cut last week for the first time in last 73 starts.
The others from the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking teeing it up in Phoenix are Ben Griffin (8th), Harris English (11th), Sepp Straka (12th), Viktor Hovland (14th), Hideki Matsuyama (16th), Chris Gotterup (17th), Collin Morikawa (18th) and Cam Young (20th).
Former LIV golfer Brooks Koepka continues his return to the PGA Tour. But unlike last week, when he finished T56 at Torrey Pines, he is playing a course he has done well on historically. He won this tournament in 2015 and 2021.
Other two-time winners competing are Scottie Scheffler (2022 and 2023) and Hideki Matsuyama (2016 and 2017). The defending champion, Thomas Detry, is not playing as he has joined LIV Golf.
