May. 4, 2008
All times are eastern.
Anthony Kim, Heath Slocum
Tee time: 1:50 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 2
Why you should watch: It's strange to say it's been a long time coming, but a PGA TOUR win by Anthony Kim has been a long time coming. The 22-year-old, second-year player seems destined for superstar status, but needs to get a win. On Sunday, he might just get a convincing one at one of the TOUR's premiere events. Though he'll start the day with a four-shot edge, Kim will need to fight off the nerves and not get ahead of himself. In the meantime, Slocum will look to put some early heat on the young Kim. It will make for a memorable final round.

Jason Bohn, Stewart Cink
Tee time: 1:40 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 5
Why you should watch: Like Slocum, Jason Bohn will start the final round trailing by four shots. After an injury-filled 2007 season, Bohn's got to be thrilled with his current position. Sure, he wants to win first and foremost, but walking away with a high finish would go a long way toward providing a season's worth of confidence. Stewart Cink, on the other hand, continues his remarkable play in 2008. A win on Sunday is unlikely -- he'll start from five shots back -- but expect him to be steady as usual.

Dudley Hart, Geoff Ogilvy
Tee time: 1:30 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 6
Why you should watch: Dudley Hart was limited to just 12 starts in 2007 due to illness of wife, Suzanne, who was diagnosed with a tumor in her lungs (non-smoking related) in May and subsequently had two-thirds of one of her lungs removed. Hart cared for Suzanne while tending to the needs of the couples' triplets. With Suzanne healthy again, we're seeing more of Hart in 2008 and so far, so good with six cuts made in nine starts, highlighted by a tie for third at Pebble Beach and a tie for seventh at last week's EDS Byron Nelson Championship. It would be the ultimate feel-good story to see Hart come out on top. Geoff Ogilvy is already a winner in 2008 and always a dangerous name to see near the top of the leaderboard.
