Overview
- Akshay Bhatia is 19-under after a third-round 68, sparked by six birdies in his first seven holes before late bogeys in strengthening wind.
- Final-round tee times were advanced with threesomes off split tees due to a forecast of strong wind and rain, following delays and wobbling balls on Saturday.
- Collin Morikawa shot 10-under 62 with 11 birdies and hit all 18 greens, joining Jake Knapp and Sepp Straka at 17-under in a tie for second.
- Knapp eagled the 1st and 18th to become the first player in a non-major at Pebble to bookend a round with eagles, while Straka surged with six back-nine birdies.
- Defending champion Rory McIlroy fell 10 shots back after a 72 that included a triple at No. 4 and a double at No. 18 in this 80-player, no-cut Signature Event.
