The Genesis Invitational is set for a tense conclusion on Sunday as Patrick Cantlay attempts to secure his ninth PGA Tour title at Riviera Country Club. If he is to do it, he will have to stave off the challenge of not only a reinvigorated Will Zalatoris but also the best man at his wedding, Xander Schauffele.
Cantlay currently holds a two-shot advantage on 14-under, but it was five at the start of Saturday's action, only for a gritty round of 70 to marginally hold up the Californian's momentum.
Meanwhile, Schauffele and Zalatoris both posted 65s to pile the pressure on and keep Cantlay within striking distance. Elsewhere, Luke List (-11), Harris English (-10) and Jason Day (-10) cannot be discounted if they get on a run with the freedom that chasing brings.
Yet, whoever stands on top of the leaderboard come Sunday evening will not have the trophy presented to them by Tiger Woods after the 15-time Major winner withdrew from the tournament that he is hosting on Friday through illness. The successful player will receive a check for $4 million, though, so it's not all bad.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has struggled with his putting once again and is out of contention on five-under, while World No. 2 Rory McIlroy (-4) is highly unlikely to be among the leading pack during the closing stages following a round of 74 on Thursday which left him struggling to even make the cut.
