Complete leaderboard here.

Who’s moving on to the title match

Billy Horschel def. Victor Perez 3 and 2: The veteran Horschel took the lead for good when Perez bogeyed the par-4 10th hole after missing a 6-foot par putt. He built his lead to 2-up on the par-3 11th after Perez hit his tee shot into the water, and he led 3-up after 14 after Perez missed a 5-footer for par. 

“It was a challenge,” Horschel said. “It was a lot of fun. I mean, when you play in wind like this you just got to understand you’re going to hit good shots and not get rewarded for it.”

Scottie Scheffler def. Matt Kuchar 1-up: Scheffler, who played his college golf at nearby Texas, led 2-up after 11 holes, then hit into the water on consecutive holes to even the match. He reclaimed the lead on the par-3 17th after hitting to within 10 feet and dropping the birdie putt, and he and Kuchar each parred 18.

“I think I got a little too comfortable with my lead and just lost focus,” Scheffler said. “Was able to kind of keep it going, kept things in check.”

When are the finals?

The finals begin at 3:20 p.m. on NBC.
