All times are eastern.

Mathew Goggin, Mike Weir
Tee time:
1:45 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 8
Why you should watch: Goggin has held at least a share of the lead for each of the three rounds, and it will be interesting to see if he can hold his three-shot lead on one of the more demanding tracks on the PGA TOUR. His putter has consistently limited his mistakes, and if he can put together another solid performance on the greens, he will be very hard to overtake.

Justin Rose, Matt Kuchar
Tee Time:
1:35 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 1
Why you should watch: Rose and Kuchar are each in that large group of players who start the round three shots behind Goggin. Rose, an Englishman, has threatened to win on the PGA TOUR before but he never been able to win on this side of the pond. Kuchar is in the midst of an outstanding playing streak -- he was a strong T20 at the AT&T Classic and was ninth last week at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. Kuchar has already made nearly as much money ($835,985) as he did all last year ($886,146).

Pat Perez, Phil Mickelson
Tee Time: 12:25 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins:
34
Why you should watch: These two guys both have the ability to go out and shoot a score that could be good enough for the clubhouse lead late on a Sunday afternoon if the leaders run into trouble. Mickelson is nine shots back and will have to wonder what kind of damage his double-bogey-bogey finish caused on Saturday. Still, it's been a solid tournament for Mickelson, who has given himself a top-notch tune-up for the U.S. Open this month.
