Round 4: Tee Times | Leaderboard

The final day of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am will be played under gorgeous skies. Let the birdies begin.

Vijay Singh, Dudley Hart, Dustin Johnson
Tee time: 12:45 p.m. ET
Total TOUR wins: 33

Why you should watch: Singh has gotten off to a slow start in 2008, going three starts without a top-10. His ballstriking was flawless on Saturday at Spyglass Hill, but his putter has let him down all week. Singh has nailed 83 percent of his greens through three rounds, but he has needed an average of 30 putts per round. With the threat of someone going low at Pebble Beach in the final round, Singh must avoid another 30-putt day in order to win.

Hart's story (documented here) is too much to recount in this paragraph. Hart has been a popular grinder on TOUR since 1991, and like Singh, his ballstriking is what has gotten him to the final group at Pebble.

Johnson is the ultimate wild card. Johnson is already 4-for-4 in making cuts in his rookie season on TOUR, and his incredible length off the tee has been under documented. If Johnson rallies from two shots down, will anyone really be shocked? This kid can hit some wonderful shots, and it would be a disappointment if he doesn't go on to win multiple times on TOUR.

Jay Williamson, Jonathan Kaye
Tee Time: 11:55 a.m.
Total TOUR wins: 2
Why you should watch: Kaye is living proof that natural-born talent always comes back to the surface. Kaye missed all of 2007 due to injury, but the 36-year-old is only four shots back after a 70 in Round 3 at Pebble Beach. Kaye will have the advantage of playing Pebble Beach twice in a row.

Williamson is also four shots back. Williamson is best-known for finishing second to Hunter Mahan in the 2007 Travelers Championship -- a finish that earned him a 2008 TOUR card despite non-membership. Williamson is one of the best drivers of the ball on TOUR, and he is comfortable at Pebble, where he shot 68 in Round 1.

Padraig Harrington, James Driscoll
Tee Time: 11:15 a.m. ET
Total TOUR wins: 3
Why you should watch: Driscoll is back at Pebble Beach after losing his TOUR card after the 2006 season, and the timing couldn't be better -- he is paired with defending Open Championship winner Padraig Harrington. Both men are five shots back.

Driscoll has some firepower in his bag. He's a long hitter who has the ability to make birdies in bunches. He shot 31 on the back nine at Spyglass Hill on Friday.

Harrington is playing well in advance of World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. He's already made 13 birdies this week, and his putter bailed him out in Round 3 when his shots misfired.
