Eighteen holes remain in the Charles Schwab Challenge — the PGA Tour’s first event back following a shutdown — and there’s an absolute logjam near the top of the leaderboard. Xander Schauffele is alone in the lead at 13 under, but a number of elite players are close behind.
There’s Jordan Spieth, king of Texas, one shot back at 12 under. Spieth has a sparkling record at Colonial Country Club and has been near the top all week long. But he has not found himself succeeding in contention for multiple years. Will his up-and-down play finish up … or down? Spieth will play in the third-to-last tee time alongside 21-year-old Collin Morikawa, who is also one shot back.
In the penultimate pairing is Justin Thomas, 12 under, and Branden Grace, also 12 under. Thomas is playing the CSC for the first time in his career and is looking to leap up to No. 2 in the world with a victory. The last man standing at 12 under is Gary Woodland, reigning U.S. Open champion, who will play alongside Schauffele Sunday.
Just slightly further back is Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau. Both sit at 10 under par, quietly lurking. They are tied with Justin Rose and Patrick Reed, two major champions who could post a number and wait for the results Sunday afternoon. Check out all the tee times for the final round below.
