The WM Phoenix Open is heating up! Hideki Matsuyama takes the lead with a one-shot advantage after the third round, but England's Matt Fitzpatrick is right behind him, just two strokes back. Matsuyama's 68 (-3) was a solid performance, even though he narrowly missed a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole. This isn't his first time at the Phoenix Open; he's a two-time champion, having won in 2016 and 2017. The competition is fierce, with Ryo Hisatsune, Nicolai Hojgaard, Si Woo Kim, and Maverick McNealy tied for second place. Fitzpatrick, on the other hand, is in a four-way tie for third, just one shot off the lead. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, however, is five shots behind, but he's still in the running for his 21st PGA Tour title. Scheffler's performance in the third round was 67, and he's drawing inspiration from his previous win at the American Express in January. With a nine-shot deficit, he pulled off a remarkable victory four years ago, and he's confident he can do it again. The final round is set to be thrilling, with live coverage on Sky Sports Golf starting at 5 pm on Sunday. Don't miss it! You can also stream it contract-free on NOW.
