All times are eastern.

Robert Gamez. Peter Lonard, John Mallinger
Tee time: 11:02 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 4
Why you should watch: How good was Mallinger's day? He was near-perfect off the tees and into the greens on Thursday, hitting 12 of 14 fairways and 16 of 18 greens in regulation. Coming into the week, Mallinger ranked 184th in greens in regulation, hitting just over 60 percent of the greens. Heading into the PGA TOUR Fall Series, he was ranked 177th in the World Golf Rankings. After the Valero Texas Open two weeks later, he had jumped 40 spots to No. 137.

Doug LaBelle II, Paul Claxton, Y.E. Yang
Tee time: 11:24 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 0
Why you should watch: The strength of Doug LaBelle's round on Thursday was putting. After hitting 14 of 18 greens in regulation, he needed only 25 putts to post his seven-under-par 63. "It's fun to make a lot of birdies," said LaBelle, who lives in north Phoenix, a 10-minute drive from the tournament. "We know we're going to have to make some to have a chance to win." Yang is also in the hunt after a 4-under 66 on Thursday that featured an eagle on the par-5 fourth.

Pat Perez, Bill Haas, Robert Garrigus
Tee time: 3:21 p.m.
Tee: No. 10
Total TOUR wins: 0
Why you should watch: Garrigus lives in the Scottsdale area and is 140th on the money list heading into this week. Garrigus has passed J.B. Holmes for second on the 2008 PGA TOUR Driving Distance list, but he must putt well to win. He used only 27 putts during his Thursday round of 66. Haas started the week 99th on the money list and also fired a 66 with four birdies in five holes.
