The first groups are ready to tee off in today's final round of the AT&T National. Here's how it sets up:

Groups We're Watching
Tee time Players  
2:20 p.m. ET
No. 1
Tiger Woods, Anthony Kim
Kim has been dreaming of this moment for a long time. This is the first time he's played with Tiger in the final group on the PGA TOUR.
2:10 p.m. ET
No. 1
Michael Allen, Cameron Beckman
Don't overlook Beckman. He showed last fall that he has the mental game to come from behind to win, and he makes a lot of birdies.
1:50 p.m. ET
No. 1
Ryuji Imada, Lucas Glover
Glover has showed no signs of slowing down from his win at Bethpage Black. Can he keep it up and rally from three shots back?

EXPERT PREVIEW: PGA TOUR Network on-site correspondent Doug Bell previews Sunday's final round:

• The sentimental favorite for Sunday is 50-year-old Michael Allen who is still searching for his first victory on the PGA TOUR in 336 starts.He's 1-for-1 on the Champions Tour winning the Senior PGA Championship at Canterbury C.C., which is a similar track to Congressional C.C.

He admitted that Saturday's 65 was unexpected because he'd been fighting his swing all week. His coach Mike Mitchell arrived just in time to help him work on his setup before Saturday's 65. Allen continues to drive his ball in the fairway, which is a must at Congressional.

Anthony Kim was busy on the range again Saturday night with his swing coach Adam chreiber tweaking his alignment and takeaway. He's also been working on some other shots with his wedges, and on No. 15 Saturday, he choked down on a pitching wedge from 85 yards and hit a gorgeous shot within a few inches to save par.
